Fixed SVN + SSH in Red Hat Developer Studio CR1

If you get the following message during an svn+ssh transaction using Subclipse,

The system cannot find the file specified.
svn: Can't create tunnel: The system cannot find the file specified.

You need to specify an ssh executable or equivalent. Modify the Subversion config file. On W!ndoz3 the file can be found in:

C:\Documents and Settings\[user]\Application Data\Subversion\config

In the [tunnels] section, see to it that it is not commented. Add / modify the following line:

ssh = C:/Program Files/TortoiseSVN/bin/TortoisePlink.exe

If you have Pageant running, you need not to specify the ssh key explicitly.

First time in Baguio

Forgetting all queued tasks…
Spending time with family, relatives and special someone…

I bought some sundot kulangot, in chabacano, kuut kugang.

It’s so cold in here. Internet speed is tolerable.

Legacy systems

When an identifier becomes a keyword in the later versions of the language, boom! It’s time to Find and Replace All!

When a subprogram implements spaghetti, move your ass engineer!

When a language becomes more strict in the later versions and the current code review metrics extends it, again, move your ass engineer!

Turn off error-causing ads from Yahoo! Messenger 8

Most users complain about the error pop-ups rooted from the ads attached to their Yahoo! IM clients. Turning off from the registry is the best way shun them.

In the registry,

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Yahoo\Pager\YUrl]

Set or add these values,

Messenger Ad = *
Webcam Upload Ad = *
Webcam Viewer Ad = *
Webcam Viewer Ad Medium = *
Webcam Viewer Ad Big = *
Change Room Banner = *
Conf Adurl = *
Chat Adurl = *

Edit the file \Program Files\Yahoo!\Messenger\Cache\urls.xml, erase all the contents and leave 2 double quotes (” “), save it then mark as read-only.

Today I turned 0x15

31st of May 2007 minus 0x15, marked the day of Eradicus’ existence. It was with divine intervention that fate has chosen Santa Maria Health Center as his birthplace.

Automatic Kalashnikov 47, can someone surprise me with a gift like this? :) I’m not a terrorist, I just want to experience dismantling this rifle and assembling it back beating the best time.

MOSS: 1st Hands-on Power Training

Mindanao Open Source Society (MOSS) held its 1st Hands-on Power Training at the ADZU Open Source Laboratory. It was totally a new experience for me since I really do not know how to organize events. There is always a first time as they say. I really thank God for making this event a success though not yet perfect but hopefully the next will be planned and organized well. This event is so memorable for me since I have learned a lot of things that are not just technically related to Free and Open Source Software.

To Sir Fhics, thank you so much and I salute you sir! Sir Fhics is the head of CISCO Zamboanga. He is so down-to-earth, very kind, open-minded and a skilled man yet so humble. He is one of those skilled persons who never sets a gap between himself and those who are just starting up (newbies). He even considers himself a “droplet of water in the ocean of knowledge.” Again, thank you sir! I have learned not just pure networking stuffs from you but also values that are applicable to life as well.

To Ma’am Yolynne, you are one of a kind, you never let us down. Especially during those times when we were almost losing hope and our morale was almost negative 30,000 feet below sea level. You’ve shown us an understanding and a caring heart. Thank you so much. There should be more people like you in this world. Thank you for not just being part of my journey to the open source world but also to my life’s journey.

To Rj Ian Sevilla, Jay Manligas, Macky Alger, thanks bros! I know we can make it better the next time around. We have some mistakes but I know that from those we’ve grown as a person. Let’s congratulate ourselves for a successful event.

To the ADZU Computer Center staff, thanks a lot for helping us! Ma’am Maureen Bello, Sir Greg! Sir Genner Cerna, Sir Richter Vecina, Ma’am Girlie, Ma’am Cathy. Pro Deo et Patria!

To the new MOSS members, this event wouldn’t be a success if it weren’t because of you. Welcome to the open source world. Always stay interested. :) God bless us all.

Wireless connection restored

I had my canopy replaced. All systems operational. Average bandwidth has increased a bit. I guess my time is running out. I have to accelerate, deadline’s fast approaching. Judgment day is never scripted.

[Thesis Update]

Development phase is doing great! Coding spree. Signing off through Robert Collier’s words of wisdom:

“We can only do what we think we can do. We can only be what we think we can be. We can only have what we think we can have. What we do, who we are, what we have, all depends upon what we think.”

Firefox & Internet Explorer 7

I just found out that there are issues regarding CSS and JavaScript in Firefox. I have to switch to IE7 as of the moment.

Nothing special, I’m gearing up anyway.
