Free and Open Source blogger with an attitude
I found this Google ads from Pinoyhack blog via fakapster
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?

I recently came across on one article about LiMo Foundation which is established by Motorola, Panasonic, Samsung , NEC, NTT DoCoMo, and Vodafone to develop Linux-based, open mobile communication device software platform.
From its whitepaper, It seems that the goal of Foundation Platform is to develop a Linux-based Mobile Application framework similar to Sun MIDP/CLDP for its Java2ME platform.
The Foundation Platform also define a standard way to represent GUI on mobile phone using GTK+ library. This is to encourage application interoperability between devices and to enhance mobile application user experience.
Hopefully in the future , we can develop a portable Linux application that can be compiled and run on any Linux mobile devices with little or no changes. This would encourage the FOSS to spread across mobile devices too.

Just few posts ago I realised that I’ve passed my 500th post!
I never thought I could get this far when I started this blog, because I felt that I’m not much of a writer when I started this blog, but phew… this is a milestone for me.
Hopefully that you guys will stay in touch with my writings in the future. Next milestone, 1000th post?
Stay tune for more Linux and open source posts from me…

I started to use Linux around 2001, when I was advised to write a two pass assembler for SIC/XE machine using a unix-like operating system at that time back in my University.
It is not that I don’t have access to the university shell account, but the lecturer encourage us to try and install GNU/Linux operating system on our personal computer so we could learn more about the so called unix clone. The lecturer mentions that he uses Red Hat Linux 7.1 at that time, and shows a demo how the Linux works.
Intrigue, I went to local cd shop and bought Continue reading “Mandrake Linux: My First Linux distro Experience”
Finally Linux kernel 2.6.20 is available! This release is interesting because it includes KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine), that enables you to run a virtualized computer with its own virtual memory, hard disks and other devices.
This means that you’re able to run other operating system under Linux using Virtual PC provided by KVM kernel driver. KVM has an advantage of being part of the Linux kernel and it uses processor extensions for virtualization compared to other virtual machine which uses emulation.
KVM uses modfied QEMU userland tools to manage its virtual machine and it has advantage over Xen because it can run unmodified operating system on its guest operating system. However, the current Linux release with KVM can’t be installed with Windows yet, due to a problem with the virtual APIC (bluescreen).
Although current benchmarks shows that KVM is still outperformed by Xen, Linux Kernel-based Virtual Machine seems to be a promising alternative to other virtulization solutions out there due to the use of CPU-level virtualization technology.
p/s: KVM requires you to have Intel and AMD CPUs that supports hardware-level virtualization.

Congrats Aizatto!
I’ve planned to publish this post earlier but I think it’s better for Aizat himself to announce it on his blog about the news that he won the first place in eGenting Programming Competition 2006.
FYI, This is the first time he entered eGenting Competition and he’s the only person that uses Ruby to solve the eGenting questions.
Seems that winning 1st prize in eGenting programming competiton going to be a nice addition to his CV.
For more information, please read the full story in his blog : Winner of the eGenting Competition 2006
