Slackware 11.0

i found this short news from distrowatch interesting, so i copy paste here!

Those who follow the development of Slackware Linux 11.0 will no doubt agree: the upcoming version is an equivalent of a Caesarean birth – at least, by Slackware's own development standards. While the project's previous two stable releases were limited to one short beta test each, the "Current" branch seems to be going through endless levels of bug-fixing steps and package recompile stages. The recent flurry of security issues with OpenSSL, OpenSSH and Mozilla products did not help the matters. So the wait goes on, with no indication whether the current tree will become stable tomorrow or in three weeks. 

Of course, Slackware Linux has a reputation to defend. As an oldest surviving Linux distribution, it has always been considered the simplest, most transparent and most stable of them all. It is also extremely conservative; by reading the changelog, one gets an impression that Patrick Volkerding does not particularly welcome advances in the Linux kernel or the availability of more modern packages. It's a fact that Slackware remains the only major Linux distributions that keeps using the LILO boot loader, does not provide an alternative to the age-old Sendmail mail server, and still prefers the 2.4 kernel series – that's nearly three years after the first stable release of the 2.6 kernel!

A Rare Clear Rainbow and Street Futsal

hi all, yesterday noon, when i go back home from yellow to simpang limun, i see a big-rear-clear rainbow showing about one per four of circle, actualy this rainbow is on south way of medan. well, it must be a rare rainbow on the no-rain-day noon in medan, since my last rainbow is in lau kawar months ago.

if you wanna know, i ever see a one hundred percent full circle shape rainbow when i first reach the top of mt. sinabung on 2005. unfortunately i have no pics to prove my words, but i tell you it's look like lens flare while actualy it truely a full circle shape of rainbow.

while ramadhan is on 6th day now, but sports must go on and remember you need to do it at night. my friends do it futsal on the night, they rent the arena about 50 thousand rupiahs for one hour.

when i come to watch the game yesterday night, i see the arena is fairly good covered by fence side by side and in the top, but if rain is come, the game will get wet, since this arena is in outdoor and no roof but the sky. 🙂

talking about fasting, i feel this year my maag is fairly fair to not bugging me with sucking my gastric/stomach in the lunch time. the trick i do it is to rotate my lunch time from day to night, so dinner is after isya, on midnight i get a lunch and before dawn i got to sahur to replace my breakfast. well, it worked after all (i hope).

happy fasting to all 😉

blog, pics, the C dan puasa

hallo, beberapa hari yang lalu adalah hari yang sibuk sehubungan dengan restorasi dan konfigurasi ulang blog serta data situs yang dulu supaya bisa on line lagi. Alhamdulillah walaupun sebagian data ada yang hilang (foto), The C Programming Language 2nd Edition namun untuk data di basis data tidak hilang dan dapat di kembalikan lagi (dengan selamat) dan dengan alamat yang baru. Selain itu untuk mereka yang dulu sering ke mari untuk melihat sesuatu, aku informasikan kalau kho ping hoo sudah up lagi, walaupun kelihatannya ada kekurangan di beberapa bagian, tapi aku sudah cukup senang, dalam beberapa hari ke depan aku akan coba isi lagi, ya smoga saja. trus juga di sini ada gallery foto yang baru, sedang gallery lama juga masih ada dan masih seperti dahulu ketika terakhir anda mengunjungi nya, untuk ke depan, aku akan pake gallery yang baru ini. saat ini sudah diisi dengan beberapa foto lama waktu maen ke sinabung akhir bulan maret kemarin, pengennya sih kalo ada dana, waktu dan kesempatan, tahun depan aku mau maen ke tiga gunung 3000m di sumatera, leuser, dempo dan kerinci. Selain itu untuk meningkatkan keahlian di sisi programming, beberapa hari ini aku mulai asik baca buku yang berhasil aku download pdf nya di internet, namanya The C Programming Language 2nd Edition (ANSI C), ini adalah kelanjutan dari seri belajar script dan programming yang telah aku niatkan beberapa waktu yang lalu. Bukunya sendiri sudah di print supaya enak bacanya kapanpun dimanapun, lagian dulu juga dah sempat belajar Turbo C di kampus, jadi gak terlalu pusing baca buku ini. Oiya, selamat puasa untuk yang menjalankannya… 😉

THE ABC’S OF UNIX

A is for awk, which runs like a snail, and
B is for biff, which reads all your mail.
C is for cc, as hackers recall, while
D is for dd, the command that does all.
E is for emacs, which rebinds your keys, and
F is for fsck, which rebuilds your trees.
G is for grep, a clever detective, while
H is for halt, which may seem defective.
I is for indent, which rarely amuses, and
J is for join, which nobody uses.
K is for kill, which makes you the boss, while
L is for lex, which is missing from DOS.
M is for more, from which less was begot, and
N is for nice, which it really is not.
O is for od, which prints out things nice, while
P is for passwd, which reads in strings twice.
Q is for quota, a Berkeley-type fable, and
R is for ranlib, for sorting ar table.
S is for spell, which attempts to belittle, while
T is for true, which does very little.
U is for uniq, which is used after sort, and
V is for vi, which is hard to abort.
W is for whoami, which tells you your name, while
X is, well, X, of dubious fame.
Y is for yes, which makes an impression, and
Z is for zcat, which handles compression.
