Ordinary blog for ordinary people

Many people use Alexa to know the ranking of a web. There are many pros and cons. But if your business is focused on the internet, you need to know much how Alexa works.

As far as I know, Alexa recorded a visit to a web site from which our Toolbar installed on browsers such as Firefox and IE. Suppose we open a web site using a browser without installing the Alexa toolbar, it will not be recorded by Alexa. But with a browser that has been Alexa Toolbar installed, then Alexa will be recorded.

When you install Ubuntu server distribution, you would got problem when choosing the time zone, especially for Indonesian time zone. Because I had install ubuntu server several times, but you can only choose US time.

So, the easiest way is trying to change the time zone after the installation process is completed. Here is that simple command


koro@kecapi:/etc$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
[sudo] password for koro:

koro@kecapi:/etc$ date
Wed Apr 14 10:52:47 WIT 2010


Do not forget to choose your time area according to your geographic region.

I’ve look the presentation file from Microsoft couple years ago, but when I try to know again about the topic, I didn’t at what laptop I put.

So I browse to research.microsoft.com ang got this amazing understanding on Reusable software component.
I give you the link here. Of course, this will help me too if I lost the file again.

Just check this file.

Well, it’s so simple if we want to run flash or even display flash using our favorite web browser.

May be the the title of this article is also too simple for most people around the globe, using Ubuntu. But I got problem with this.

Why? Because I’m using Ubuntu 9.04 on my powerpc processor aka ibook G4. And when I type some keywords on google, some pages hint me to use gnash and mozilla-plugin-gnash

So you can type

$ sudo apt-get install gnash

and don’t forget too

$ sudo apt-get install mozilla-plugin-gnash

But if you prefer to use the GUI based, just click System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager and then search the package above.

Of course your Ubuntu PowerPC box will be smile.

I’ve got vps account couple weeks ago, but at this moment now I want to setup the wordpress engine on vps box. I setup my own vps account and set the RAM to guaranteed 128 M and burstable to 256.

I use Ubuntu 9.04 and mysql server 5.0.75. Everything looked okay, until I got this message when proceed the wordpress wizard.

Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 6815744) (tried to allocate 4864 bytes) in /home/koro/public_html/wp-includes/kses.php on line 1026

I check the RAM usage about the lack of memory above

koro@koro:~$ free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 256 252 3 0 0 0
-/+ buffers/cache: 252 3
Swap: 0 0 0

So I try to change the RAM to unlimited, and it works well. But I think 384 M will be enough. Before get the error message, of course I need to setup a little by creating the databases needed and create also the user for database.

Here is these commands

mysql> create user 'koro'@'localhost' identified by 'somepass';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.03 sec)

mysql> grant all privileges on korowp.* to 'koro'@'localhost';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.03 sec)

mysql> create database korowp;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

Yeah, that’s true. You might be concern about this article title. Since 1990s, I had read many books for example Teach yourself C++ in 21 days, Teach your self java 1.1 in 14 days and so on.

But this cartoon will make you laugh or may be hate. Even you will ignore this.

The words “virtual” or “virtualization” even “emulator” is seen more popular this decade. Right now I’m more focusing on the animal because it’s part of my hobby and job.

I just want to share here, even you may be already know and maintaining the systems. But I think the others want to know accord to my humble opinion. Below is the list of Virtual Machine Software or Software Emulator

1. XEN
2. OpenVZ
3. KVM
4. Virtuozzo

You can know more about that software when you try to google them. There are many other software that can be used as software emulator or virtual machine. If I have more time, I will try to write about what the advantage and disadvantage using that software

My internet connection is slow enough, even people says it should fast because I’m using 512 Kbps FirstMedia internet access.

So I think I need to download the Lotus Notes using my Linux Box which is colocated at an ISP in Jakarta.
But the problem is the link given by IBM uses SSL.

So I just give a command like this

$ wget -b -c –tries=0 –no-check-certificate https://some.domain.com/filename.ext

I almost forget that i have this blog. But today I think I need refresh this blog because if we have another blog site at another place, sometimes we forget the current blog.

When I replace the server with the new one, the database needed to be restored manually. I felt that I already backup the account, but this blog used another database. So that’s why I forget this blog.

Of course I also can’t guarantee to update this blog regularly. But well, let’s look later.
