the geek side of me

Right now… there are two things (other than my project deliverables) that drives me nuts. The first one, is the mailserver that I manage as my pastime/part-time job and one that’s handling about 30,000 emails a day where more than half of them were confirmed as spams and deleted or quarantined. The rest passed through [...]

memory guzzling spamd

Ok, I’m going to rant about technical stuffs here, am so pissed off with something that I have no control about but to obey and just blardy do what’s needed by the darn daemon. AFAIK, all BSD or Linux geek that owns and run their own mailserver knows that SpamAssassin is the next best thing [...]

It was first introduced during Superbowl on Jan 22 1984 and it was the computer that changed the GUI and desktop world… or pretty much of it. The Apple/Mac emblem went through several design revisions and from the colorful stripes to [...]

gone, kaput… lost.

I love the Mac OS X, simply because apart from its excellent user interface and usability design, it is based on my favorite operating system – BSD *nix. So, because I’m still such a *nix geek, I still like to roam around the system directories from the Terminal once in a while and deleting stuffs [...]

with OSX looks but it’s still WinXP

I was working on some codes to create Yahoo! widgets when I ran out of programming ideas and suddenly just felt like changing my WinXP desktop interface to include the OSX’s famous application dock. So I use WinOSX to install the ObjectDock but left everything else intact, the WinXP way. The tool although no longer [...]

lucent cellpipe’s factory default setting

I have with me a Lucent CELLPipe router with built-in ADSL modem, it actually belongs to TMNet but when they replaced it with the ZTE model during a relocation exercise, it was left unused at the customer’s premise. It’s a long story how I managed to get my hands on it, but it’s not stolen [...]
