A nice twitter client for those who are working in CLI environment.
Get twitter-cmdline.
A Windows alternative is also available at : Twitter Windows Command Line Client.
Alternatively you can try a cURL hack to post your update to twitter from command line.
btw my twitter id is ‘mypapit’. Happy twittering.
Changing user-agent in Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer may be an easy task for most of the people as it only requires you to change certain settings in the browser option or in the registry.
However changing Google Chrome's user agent might not be as straight forward as it has no obvious way to alter it through the browser's interface.
Fortunately, Digital Inspiration website has written a guide on how to change Google Chrome user-agent string, you can refer directly to their article - How to Change User Agent String in Google Chrome Browser
I stumbled upon this while surfing the website.
You got to see it for yourself, http://telescopictext.com/
Since I’ve been into twitter recently, I’m was looking for a twitter client that is suitable for my operating system. Thank god that search ended when I found mitter.
Among mitter features are :
Bonus for Ubuntu users : mitter is also available from GetDeb.net one-click-install portal
What are you waiting for? catch me on twitter (id: mypapit)
For some odd reason, the organization that I work with currently blocks del.icio.us (now delicious.com) social bookmarking service. It categorizes the website as porn (wtf?), they seems to use SquidGuard in combination with websense to block the website.
Oh well, I guest I’ve to reexport all my local bookmark to delicious once I get back home for syncronization purposes.
Something many have been waiting for.
Dropbox is an online storage solution that fits seamlessly into your OS. It’s currently in Beta and accounts are by invite only. I received my invite from Thaweesak.
To get your files to Dropbox you can either use their upload page or install the Dropbox client which works on Windows or Mac. Linux is currently not supported but a client is in the works and should be out soon. Screenshot
With the Dropbox client you will be able to access your Dropbox files as if they were located on your local machine anytime anywhere provided you’re connected. Speed will surely be a concern but so far that has not been an issue with me since all synchronization happens in the background.
A shared folder feature also provided to enable users to share files with friends and the public.
So is it free? Yes, basic accounts are free but you will need to pay if you need more space. Currently, Beta users enjoy 2GB of space but free accounts will be limited to 1GB of space when Dropbox launches.
Get an invite, signup for a free account, install the client and you’re ready to go. I have a few, drop me a note if you need one.

OpenID, OAuth, OpenSocial, Yahoo, Myspace, Google, Facebook data access APIs and many others. There are so many social standards today and Google’s target to to simplify access to them through Google Friend Connect.
So what’s in it for you?
The service is currently in preview release. If you are interested in taking Google Friend Connect for a spin, sign up for a preview here.

My Streamyx is screwed again. Actually it’s been like that for a month now. The speed is nominal in the mornings but after 8pm the speed drops to 1/4 the normal. My last bandwidth test came up with 104.4 Kbits/download and 290Kbits/upload. Looks like someone’s overselling bandwidth again, you think so? Or could it be a simple port overload?
I reported the case last week and was assigned a case and an engineer. They call me up 1 day later to verify. I said no one showed up, they gave me a number to call. I called and was informed that the engineer should have already attended to me. Further investigation revealed that the engineer never showed up, he excuse was “there were too many students around the exchange box for me to work on it”, literally. That was it, I never heard back.
Today, couple of days later I called Streamyx again. To my surprise the agent said my case was resolved and closed. I said “NO, it’s still da same”. We went on again with the normal chat till she finally logged a new case and assigned a new engineer to the case. Also, I was advice to email some screen shots.
See for yourself,
My mail to streamyx,
case#133####34#
login# !@#@3
contact: 01@-!@#$#%#@Please look into my issue. Th speed is normal in the mornings but every night the speed drops to a pathetic rate. I’ve included screen shots for your reference. It looks like a load issues, are your junctions overloaded? Please tell me no…..
The engineer assigned to my initial case never showed up but closed my case. Is this how you support your paying clients? I know I have not other provider to turn to but please don’t take advantage of your privilege.
The girl I spoke to earlier was really nice and assisted me well. I hope I will get the same support from your team.
I was also looking to upgrade my line to 4Mbps but they told me “port full” haa haa, I live in the city and there are no ports?
Anyways please fix my issue, I appreciate your quick response.
I just want my promised bandwidth. I am a paying customer, is this too much to ask?

I posted Malaysian Web Hosting some time back. Since then a few new entries came in so I thought it might make sense to republish them for you.
Can you access support.microsoft.com? Chances are you can’t if you’re behind a squid proxy.
Here’s the fix/workaround,
Add the lines below into your squid.conf file. should be in /etc/squid/squid.conf. Restart squid and you should be good to go.
#> vi /etc/squid/squid.conf
add lines into /etc/squid.conf
# Fix support.microsoft.com by removing Accept-Encoding header
acl support.microsoft.com dstdomain support.microsoft.com
header_access Accept-Encoding deny support.microsoft.com
#> service squid restart
The other way is to remove the tick from “Use HTTP1.1 through proxy connections” in IE’s Advanced internet options tab. Beware that this might break other sites.

Update:
Newer versions of squid need a different approach as demonstrated by Dave over at davehope.co.uk

Is it just me or has the internet been freaking slow at nights for the past weeks. Streamyx has not come up with a explanation as usual. Calling them is just a waste of time…..

I tend to be slightly skeptical nowadays when the words “high peed” and “mobile” are used within the same sentence. You can’t blame me, adverts all around boast blazing speeds over mobile network but do you ever hear the same feedback from their subscribers? Hardly ever right.
Well, here’s a another new kid on the block U Mobile with the same claims. Hopefully they deliver. Read more about U Mobile on Wikipedia.
They simplified the packages by only offering one package at a low price of RM78 for unlimited access. Another favourable addition would be the cool looking modem seen in the picture below. All other providers are still sticking to the crappy bean design with it’s flimsy plastic finishing.
U Mobile is new so don’t expect superb coverage just yet. For now their reach covers most of Klang Valley. If the penetration rate is good expansion will happen for sure.
Picture taken from KongTachnology blog.
I have been looking into mobile packages recently and the only service provider that appeals to me is Celcom. Their Streamyx + Mobile Broadband combo is the best around. Don’t ya think so?
While the mobile providers battle it out, one thing’s for sure, U Mobile in my book has the best looking website. Light weight flash yet functional. A good first impression always works with products. Visit U Mobile

Torrentpy, once the most popular torrent site on the net has finally decided to shut it’s doors and pack up permanently. Why? Well as usual MPAA is the culprit, 2 years of battling the the MPAA proved to be too much for Justin Bundell, the fonder of Torrentspy.
“We have decided on our own, not due to any court order or agreement, to bring the TorrentSpy.com search engine to an end and thus we permanently closed down worldwide on March 24, 2008.”
Those were Justin’s last words for Torrentspy.
Torrentspy was directed by the courts to log all user activities and have them submitted to the MPAA. Torrentspy came back by locking out US based users but that was not enough for the MPPA hence the decision to close it’s door. Protecting their user’s privacy was more important to Torrentpy and I respect them of that.
I’ve always used Torrespy as one of my main source for torrents and wish there was something I could have done to help.

The Economist, is easily one of my favourite magazines out there. I occasionally buy a copy from the newsstand, but more often than not, get it free while I’m on a plane. I think the tipping point to subscription for me, happened today. Some articles I’d like to bring to your attention, with select quotes.
Malaysia’s election | The no-colour revolution
“In five states, including the most populous, the opposition will form the government. This is extremely good news for many reasons. The most basic is that democracies need a vibrant and credible opposition. Any party that stays in power for half a century is liable to show signs of complacency, arrogance and corruption, and UMNO is no exception.”
“Second, the election result is a victory for hope over fear. At times the government has used harsh laws against opponents.” It goes on to say, “the National Front has played on the fears evoked by the ghosts of 1969, when opposition advances at the polls were followed by bloody race riots. A vote for the opposition, went the none-too-subtle message, would risk bloodshed as the Malay majority took its revenge on
the minorities. Yet it was not only many ethnic-Chinese voters (about a quarter of the population) and, especially, disgruntled ethnic Indians
(about 8%) who deserted the National Front. Many Malays switched too.”
It wasn’t electoral suicide: “That is a third reason for optimism: communal tension may not be the tinderbox that Malaysia has for so long assumed it to be. If so, the result may herald new thinking about the institutionalised racism of the pro-Malay affirmative-action policies introduced after 1969. The opposition parties campaigned on a platform of “colour-blind” affirmative action—help for those who need it, not for a particular ethnic group.”
On the NEP? “Many seem to have recognised that the policy has become less a means for redistributing wealth to the disadvantaged than a vehicle for
corruption and cronyism.”
The Internet and Malaysian politics | The perils of modernity
“Even before election night, the internet had already played a big part in the vote. Malaysia has an unusual combination of high internet
penetration and pliant mainstream media. It is therefore fertile ground for cyber-politics. According to the government’s multimedia regulator,
3.9m of the country’s 28m people have dial-up internet subscriptions and 1.2m broadband. Some 60% of the population, it reckons, use the
internet. Even if that is an overestimate, the limitations of the mainstream media are enough to drive politics online.”
On why Dr. Mahathir did something useful: “Television hardly ever covers opposition rallies and speeches. But the online world is delightfully free. Anxious to make Malaysia a high-tech cyber-hub, the county’s former prime minister, Mahathir Mohamad, exempted websites from the annual licensing requirements that help keep print publications deferential. The 1998 Communications and Multimedia Act decreed that there would be no censorship of the internet.”
“Mr Pua thinks all parties underestimated the effects of “secondary access” to the internet, as news broken on the web—of opposition rallies, for example—was disseminated by word-of-mouth and mobile-phone text messages.”"Most worrying for the government and the mainstream media, Malaysia is young. A new generation sees the internet as its primary news source.”
Malaysia’s election upset | Anwar overturns the apple cart
“After 22 years of rule by the abrasive and authoritarian Mahathir Mohamad, Mr Badawi was seen as more conciliatory and more committed to tackling corruption. He has indeed offered a less acerbic style. But few believe corruption has lessened. Instead, there has been a series of ugly scandals. And the high-flying Mr Khairy, Mr Badawi’s son-in-law (and a former intern at The Economist), has become what one observer calls a “walking, talking, boasting” symbol of nepotism.”
That’s a lesser known fact - Khairy Jamaluddin, was an intern at The Economist.
“M. Manoharan, an ethnic-Indian lawyer, was elected to the state assembly of Selangor, despite being detained without charge under the
Internal Security Act after a street protest last November. He was elected in a predominantly ethnic-Chinese constituency.”
Once you’re done reading the amazing Economist, don’t hesitate to read the comments as well (that’s something you can’t get in the paper version of The Economist, eh?).

Information Minister Datuk Seri Zainuddin Maidin aka Zam seems to think otherwise. According to him the Malaysian citizens only believe in the mainstream media, our one-sided news shows and newspapers and alternative media like the internet, blogs, mobile phones and other new age communication media had nothing to do with the shocking outcome witnesed during our recent election.
What do you think, did the Internet & Blogs Influence The Election Results? Vote here.
Watch his idiotic video.

Switched over from Math Comment Spam Protection to reCAPTCHA. Spam has still been coming in despite the Math Comment Spam Protection plugin. I decided to take reCAPTCHA for a spin for a few weeks. Hopefully it helps.
What is reCAPTCHA?
You need a CAPTCHA differentiate human from computers. There are many other CAPTCHA programs available today, from numbers to whole phrases. Almost every website with registration, comments or basically any sort of forms implement some kind of CAPTCHA to keep spam bots at bay.
I chose reCAPTHA because it’s CAPTCHA function not only stops spam but also helps in the digitizing of books from the internet archive. It does this by adding OCR unrecognized words into it’s CAPTCHA images for users to solve. Sometimes the CAPTCHA gets pretty scrambled and can be hard to read. To aid users an additional word gets added to the CAPTCHA image which has been previously solved. A user normally only needs to get the solved word correct, the unrecognized word will be compared against answers from other users and the most accurate one then gets picked.
You can get the reCAPTCHA WordPress plugin here.

I found in my website log, apparently somebody trying to find out how to connect to Streamyx broadband using the latest DLink 2640T. Since I own one, I decided to share my settings to enable you to connect to Streamyx.

This is the most popular question that I received currently from new Ubuntu and Debian users. This is probably because Ubuntu and Debian based operating system usually does not provide an obvious way to connect to the internet through ADSL Broadband Modem.
How to connect to internet through ADSL Broadband Modem
Here’s a quick guide for you to connect to the internet using ADSL broadband modem.
Remember, type “pon dsl-provider” if you want to connect to the internet again after you’ve rebooted or switched off the computer.

Wonder how I missed this this peculiar RFC, RFC 2324 : Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol. It was brought out by Toydi a while ago when we were having discussion about REST implementation.
The RFC provides specification for a protocol based on HTTP, which can be use to send signal to a coffee maker appliance which can help people make coffee.
Clearly this is intended as a joke, but it is a well-written RFC which has all the details necessary to build HTCP-compliant coffee maker.
and according to this wikipedia entry, is indeed has been implemented on Emacs and Mozilla browser (through 3rd party patches).
Other Humorous RFC ?
HTCPCP is an example of a well written RFC which is intended as an April Fool’s joke, but it is not the only one produced, please refer here : [en.wikipedia.org] for a list of RFC written specifically for April Fool’s day.

To identify and monitor who is running what applications, which the application is listening to what port, established what connections, we can use lsof. lsof (List Open Files) are use for listing all current opened files. Besides the file name, it includes info such as who open it, what command use to open it, what type of file is it etc.
To list all Internet or network related opened files.
lsof -ioutput:
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
ktorrent 5220 mysurface 14u IPv4 13129 TCP *:6881 (LISTEN)
ktorrent 5220 mysurface 15u IPv6 13152 UDP *:6881
ktorrent 5220 mysurface 16u IPv4 41606 TCP 192.168.1.101:43234->122.49.147.27:32006 (SYN_SENT)

...
You might facing some latency while listing them, the reason is, lsof cleverly replace your IP with DNS, so it need times to resolve DNS. To ask it stop to act smart and display with only numerical IP addresses, specified -n.
lsof -i -nYou may want to list open files with root permission, which returns you more entries.
sudo lsof -i -nlsof list both IPv6 and IPv4 related files by default. You specified -i4 if you want entries with IPv4 only, same thing to IPv6, specified -i6.
sudo lsof -i4 -nOkay, If you just want to list files which triggers by a specific user only, you can do this:
sudo lsof -i -n -a -u toydi-a indicate AND logic, the entire line simply means, I want to list Internet related open files and these files must be trigger by toydi.
Again, lsof capable of doing more, check out the manuals for more details.

I know some people consider nude pics and nudity as an art, but does this means that you are safe to put your google ads on the same page as those pics? Sounds like a grey area to me.
Wonder if anybody ever advertised or put google ads on website filled with nude pics that might borders to pornography?

This come out during an IRC session with a friend from Malaysia, currently on extended holiday in Chile. I asked him to make a comparison because he subscribed broadband internet connection during his holiday.
Suprisingly he told me that Chile internet connection is far more superior than the one offered in Malaysia (read: Streamyx), mainly because :
I clearly understand that TM can’t do anything about the slow internet connection resulting from Taiwan earthquake, but the low-quality of Streamyx service has been voiced out a lot of time. You can read 1st hand experiences told from satisfied TM Streamyx customers, [one], [two], [ three ], [ four ], [ five ], [six], and the list goes on, as if the name Streamyx is associated with “bad broadband service”
TM clearly does little about it besides blaming users of P2P software for choking up their bandwidth.
It is odd when a country like Chile can provide a stable internet connection without Bittorrent capping while Malaysia that have Multimedia Super Corridor ( a Sillicon Valley-wannabe ) can’t do the same.

You can read 1st hand experiences told from satisfied TM Streamyx customers, [one], [two], [ three ], [ four ], [ five ], [six], and the list goes on, as if the name Streamyx is associated with “bad broadband service”
TM clearly does little about it besides blaming users of P2P software for choking up their bandwidth.
It is odd when a country like Chile can provide a stable internet connection without Bittorrent capping while Malaysia that have Multimedia Super Corridor ( a Sillicon Valley-wannabe ) can’t do the same.

Finally, I’m glad that my blog was accepted in PayPerPost, a relatively new service which allows your to earn money while blogging. PayPerPost is a truly innovative way to spread buzz across the internet.
How do you earn money by blogging? Simple, all you need to do is register your website with PayPerPost and awaits them to accept you. To make sure that you can earn continuously, you must make sure that you checked categories that most suited you. Writing for the sake of getting the money alone won’t do much good to your visitors and blog.
I love PayPerPost because they give you the freedom to choose from a number of reviews/buzz (called: opportunities) to write about, this way you can handpick which opportunities that is better suited for your style and way of writing and remember theme consistency is important for your blog.
And yes, PayPerPost works both ways too, if you have a product, services or something that you want people to talk about, then you can sign in as an advertiser. You can select the amount of payment you like to pay bloggers, write in some specifications and let them talk about your products and you’ll have your ads on blogs in no time.
So go ahead and try PayPerPost now

I’m so pissed because TMnet suspended my account because I was behind my bill. It’s not like I want to pay, but I was busy doing other work that I forgot to pay the bills, besides how can I remember to pay the bills if they fail to deliver them?
Before this I used to receive printed bills everynow and then delivered by mail, and I usually pays up my bills on time, but now TMNet seems not to send Streamyx Broadband bills anymore. I’m bit busy and distracted by my work, making me forgot to pay my bills without the reminder.
What’s worse is, I can’t even log in to tmbill website to see how much that I owe TMnet, they seems to block your streamyx account and your access to online billing system too! Give me a break, at least make the online billing system bit more friendly instead of IE6 only page.
Note to self :
I won’t wait for my streamyx bill anymore, I’ll check my internet bill every 15th day of the month. Damn you TMnet, I lost my productivity hours due to suspension and having to go to their office to pay up my bills (btw, I read that paying Streamyx bills through Maybank2u isn’t safe).

Yesterday Blogger Beta has been announced in the Blogger Buzz. Blogger Beta brings new improvements over the classic blogger that we used to blog with. Among the new features are :
Perhaps the most long awaited feature is the Categories which makes it easier to organise your blog with it and trackbacks. But I guess considering the amount of spam that you might get I think trackback is not worth the feature for blogger.com.
Blogger Beta migration is only limited for a few accounts for now, and you can only migrate your blog to the new Blogger system if you see the Upgrade icon in your blogger dashboard.
At the time of this writing, your blog can’t be migrated if you host it at a different host other than blogger.com and/or your blog has many contributors/authors.
You can register an account with Blogger Beta with your Google account to test drive the system first. Howeve, as admitted in Blogger website, Blogger Beta still has few unsquished bugs, so use it at your own risk.
