Swee Meng — How to run a community project(aka what I learned from barcamp)

1. Accommodate a variety of audience, it one spice things up, and it opens up ideas. During barcampkl we have a variety of topic, and I have learn a lot, because of all the topic is new to me. We also miss out the tech community. We need to balance the audience.
   
2. Provide sufficient infrastructure, during barcampkl we have enough room, which is a good thing, we have more input, and a place to hang out. We also have lousy internet connection, so hackathon didn't goes as plan. Also loud speaker.
   
3. Give(take) roles and responsibility, even in a loosely structured hierachy like in barcampkl, we need to have one person to take responsibility. For example on the web contents, etc.
   
4. Accountable, the big idea is, we need to know what goes on. Have a accounts that is viewable. It is also fair to people that contribute
   
5. Keep a inventory, we have our own stuff, during barcamp, we bring own stuff, and also stuff that is sponsored. As In 4 we need to be accountable
6. Have backup plan, during barcamp we are lacking in vga cables. It is better to be safe than sorry. 
7. Give credit to where the credit is due, in the case of barcamp, give credit to sponsor. Of course other contributor
   
8. Communicate a lot among members, we need to know what happens.
9. Have a roaster.
10. SHARE!!!! We have a slides on slideshare for barcampkl
    

1. Commercialize an events, people is at events like this to learn. So marketing talk is bad.
2. Make own decision, have a concensus. Don't change anything such as schedules. Most of the time anyway.
   
3. Make some people do work, till it misses some session they want to join.

Colin Charles — How I now drive a Hyundai Accent, thanks to a Google ad

About a month ago, I was surfing the Net, reading my mail on GMail, and I spotted a smart ad by Kah Bintang telling me in a short span of words (in the top — sponsored links in GMail - or it might have been a sidebar link) that the new Hyundai Accent 2008 model was a 1.6L car, with a very reasonable price tag.

Normally, I am blind to ads, but the message itself was very captivating, so I bit, and clicked the link. I arrived at the 2008 Accent Home, quickly jumped to its specifications, was impressed by its price tag (compared to the Toyota Vios S that I was driving, this car beats it in many ways), and brought it up in conversation.

Conversation, you ask? Yes, conversation with my parents. I was telling them it might be a nice car to have, it comes with leather seats, etc. Within a month, I hadn’t realised they had ordered it, and the car arrived early last week, and they handed the keys over to me - an early birthday present. Nifty. Thanks!

But that’s not the point. I would have never even heard of this car, had it not been for the Google ad. Someone at Kah Bintang, that’s in charge of marketing/gathering sales/et al, know that your Google ad, definitely works. In fact, I think the ROI is greater - imagine paying a blogger to write a review, versus actually running Google ads?

If you know the person from Kah Bintang responsible for this, don’t hesitate to have them call me, I’d love to interview them about their forward thinking nature. And I wish I took a screenshot of the ad itself — I can’t seem to replicate it now!

The Proton Exora

Of course, going to mix.fm’s website, I seem to be a tad disappointed. There has got to be a better way to display ads, no?

Nuhaa All Bakry (cawanpink) — Bitten by the bed bugs

Now I have a few small red dots on my arm, my legs and my neck. Not to mention they’re all so itchy. Isk. I had no idea where all this bugs came from, suddenly decided to attack me in one night and left me feeling so damn angry. They will leave scars, although I know over time it will disappear but still, I don’t like lah… Oh help!

The strange thing is it only happened last Thursday. I still slept on the same bed but it never happened again. Aaaaa bencik bencik! Gatalnyer nak garu jek tapi have to refrain self. Kalau tak nanti lagi teruk the scars… hisy!

Ok don’t want to dwell on it that much anymore. Things happened, have to move on. Now next topic: shopping! I want to look for a skirt and a blouse. I’m going to check out Envee in Alamanda if it’s any good. Adda, come lah set time after work we go to Nichii ok bebeh??

Colin Charles — TwitterJobSearch, MySQL Job Fair

I heard about TwitterJobSearch on net@night, and decided to give it a twirl. I typed “mysql” and found 3,092 results in 30 seconds. You can then filter by job title, salary, skill set, job type, and more, as well as sort it by relevance or date.

Useful? Quite possibly. Would be more useful, if you could filter out Twitter users (like @itcareer, for example). Search that is semantic, instead of just word based. So “mysql in san francisco” will return relevant results for you.

If you’re looking for a job anytime soon, note that there will also be a Job Fair at the MySQL Conference & Expo 2009, happening April 20-23 2009, are you registered yet? Its a great place to network, and you shouldn’t miss it.

Khairil Yusof — Web Design Tools

Recently had to do CSS work on Plone, and here are some tools I found usesful.

For general design work and comps, Inkscape works great for layout and vector work. Trusty GIMP is perfectly fine for working on bitmap editing.

CSS, though I had to use a combination of tools, mostly I used Firefox with some addons:

• Firebug You'll needs this to inspect all the various elements. I really like the CSS inspect and summary feature, especially when customizing Plone with it's layers of CSS.

• Web Developer great for

  editing CSS live. It is rather slow on refresh though.

Once key classes and id's are done, I then go to tried and true VIM.

I also found a handy utility called gcolor2. This allows you to pick colours from anything on your screen, and provides handy rgb hex codes quickly from any app on screen.

For web design with CSS and HTML, I don't see that FOSS tools are lacking in any way. Also I will always code to standards first. CSS 2.1 and XHTML 1.0 Transitional. Then you do workarounds for stupid IE.

Colin Charles — Gen Kanai from Mozilla speaks about localisation in Firefox and more

At BarCampKL, I conducted a quick interview with Gen Kanai, the Director of Business Development, at Mozilla in Asia. He has vast experience, that ranges from starting the Japan office, to marketing, to helping open the Beijing office, and this year, its all about South East Asia.

Mozilla wants to know if there is a need for Firefox in Bahasa Malaysia? I asked Gen how hard it was to translate Firefox - there are over 60 localisations, and unofficially, there are over 100.

Bahasa Malaysia is about 40% complete, and the website needs localisation as well. While the system itself is not as simple as Ubuntu’s translation system, you don’t need to be a programmer, just know how to use source code management tools. You can use a simple text editor like Notepad, and move all the way to using Pootle.

Do you want Firefox and other Mozilla tools translated into Bahasa Malaysia? How will it help you (or someone else)?

Colin Charles — Netbook Tweaks at BarCampKL

At BarCampKL last weekend (wow, time flies), one of the more interesting talks I attended was Preetam Rai’s session, on Netbooks. Carolyn was suspicious that a Mac head was at a netbook session, but the reality is, I’ve always been interested in netbooks, ever since I picked up the Asus Eee PC 701.

I didn’t “live tweet” the session, but I did take notes:

• Keep in mind the small screen - 800×480 is crap. 1024×600 seems to be the new preferred resolution, and it might make things like Google Reader easier to use
• What browser? Chrome seems to work well - I’ve been Chrome free, considering I don’t run Windows… All this may change, but it seems like the interface of Chrome, the lack of a top toolbar, is a pretty good thing
• Dock, to make it more OSX like, Rocket Dock - read Preetam’s post about Netbook Tweaks 1: Rocketdock
• Magnification - The Magnifier, EZ Magnifier
• Anti-virus - use AVG (free)
• MSN Messenger - hack to remove ads, mess.be. Otherwise use Pidgin, which as an alternative to MSN Messenger
• Office - MSOffice isn’t so user friendly on small screens because the toolbars take lots of space. OpenOffice.org is also a problem, in terms of toolbars. Mozilla Prism, then use Google Docs, with offline mode
• Using Linux? Well, you can contact your local LUG
• Battery life? Turn of wifi, bluetooth when you don’t need it. Low power saving mode.
• Windows? Disable computer discovery, bluetooth management
• Linux? Mind the filesystem, also keep in touch with fstab. You don’t want to kill your SSD
• How do you speed it up? Upgrade the RAM.
• Keyboard? 701 has a horrible keyboard. HP seems to do pretty well with their keyboards. Ditto with MSI Winds, the Lenovo, and newer Asus EeePC’s - so the keyboards are getting better

So, with regards to Linux, the Ubuntu Netbook Remix seems to get the most traction. I am partial to Fedora… If I pick up an Asus 1000HE, do I just “enjoy” using Windows? So many thoughts…

Khairil Yusof — No Excuses

My work ethic ain't no habit man, I do it on purpose. I push myself to the limit, so my talent will surface.

—Nelly

First up. No Excuses.

I didn't get training.. I didn't get funding.. I didn't get right education.. I'm not disciplined enough.. I don't have connections.. I live in a small town.. My job sux, but it's stable income.. I'm not bumiputera..

If you find yourself saying these kind of things, then you'll have to do some sort of introspection and not blame the world. There wll be numerous hurdles.

Of course just working hard is just one aspect, but you have to work smart and creatively too. Either way, there is no escape from rolling your sleeves up and getting it done initially.

Some tips from experience.

• Get yourself organized, working aimlessly/inefficiently is not a good idea.
• If you're in IT, you don't need expensive stuff. Learning how to do more with less will help you out later when you need to scale. Inigo can do more with an RM2K server that most companies with 20. It translates to a massive competitive advantage as we start scaling up with high performance servers now.
• Be creative with solving issues. Bad Internet connection? Learn how to solve it. Backup Bluetooth to mobile? VPN to Jaring? Squid? Local DNS? Traffic shaping? Again as before, skills that will help you as you scale up, learnt from when you were struggling.
• Trust and respect yourself. This self respect will be there with going through experiences of previous points. Most people are out there purely looking after their own self interests and will lie with a straight face, or cry crocodile tears. Don't trust sales people and so called big shots. Listen to them, there may be good advise, but trust your instincts. There is a world of difference between a venture capital who made it, and investing his own money and connected people spending government (your money actually) who have never done anything successful themselves. A warning signal is when they use buzzwords and trends and belittle your ideas if it is not trendy. Experiences shows that they're the ones usually wrong, and move on to the next thing to leach on.

MuSMo — Autocomplete parent topic in NatEdit

What I really miss in Foswiki 1.0.4 with NatSkin was the ability to view all the existing topics within the web and choose which topic is my parent topic. Currently, NatEdit wants you to know the exact name of the parent topic - not quite interesting.

So, I’ve made a simple tweak that allows me to search all the existing topics in the web as I type. Result? I’m able to search for a parent topic by its name. Not exactly perfect, but it fits well so far.

There are 3 parts to achieve this.

1. Create SEARCH term to list all the topics in the web

%SEARCH{ ".*" type="regex" web="%WEB%" scope="topic" nonoise="on" nototal="on" multiple="off" separator=", " format="'$topic'" }%

2. Integrate the above with JQueryPlugin
We’ll be using jquery.autocomplete for the completion of the input field.

<script>
  $(function(){
    $("#topicparent").autocomplete(
      [ %SEARCH{ ".*" type="regex" web="%WEB%" scope="topic" nonoise="on" nototal="on" multiple="off" separator=", " format="'$topic'" }% ]
    );
  });
</script>

3. Modify edit.natedit.tmpl
We need to modify /<path_to_foswiki>/templates/edit.natedit.tmpl to include all the above. So it should look like this…

  <div class="twikiFormStep foswikiFormStep twikiFormLast">
    <h3>%MAKETEXT{"Parent topic"}%:</h3>
%JQSCRIPT{"jquery.autocomplete"}%
%JQSTYLE{"jquery.autocomplete"}%
<script>
    $(function(){
        $("#topicparent").autocomplete(
            [ %SEARCH{ ".*" type="regex" web="%WEB%" scope="topic" nonoise="on" nototal="on" multiple="off" separator=", " format="'$topic'" }% ]
        );
    });
</script>
    <input class="twikiInputField" id="topicparent" type="text" name="topicparent" size="40" value="%TOPICPARENT%" />
  </div>

I have encountered this error, when I tried to dump an SQL file to a database.

ERROR 1005 (HY000) at line 13: Can’t create table ’secretproject_development.canhaz’ (errno: 105)

First thing came to my mind was, to Google for an answer, where I found this. Being a lazy person to read through the whole thread, it suddenly came into my mind why that table can’t be created. There was a reference to another field in another table, and that table is not available at the moment.

Simple fix was to re-order the CREATE TABLE codes, so that tables are created before being referenced.

Farhan Faisal — md5 decode script - PHP

Last few weeks I found a malicious script installed on my hosting server. This is due to unupdated Wordpress, that allow remote attacker to upload some malicious code into the server. The server have been clean up, no more problem.

The malicious file found is a PHP script, with alot of hacking tools embedded. One interesting part is, it have a md5 decoder. I’m not really good in data structure, I cannot construct my own bruteforce code. So, I took those bruteforce code to a single file, just to decode a md5 hash string.

This is just a prove of concept that, a strong password should be long, and have some extra character, other than normal alphabets. This give a higher probability of character to choose in bruteforce attack.

This code might not applicable in real life nowadays, as there are other ways users password been exploited, for example, using default password, and common password. Thats why most bruteforce attacked were dictionary based. So, make sure your password is strong enough. One other method, is Rainbow Table. I’m still reading it

Farhan Faisal — Network monitoring with cacti - snmpd.conf

Network monitoring plays an important aspect in a system admin life. You will be managing some servers, and you might have problem taking care of their respective ‘health’, making sure its serving fine and performing best of it. There are some monitoring tool, for example, mrtg, nagios, cacti.

For our setup, we are utilizing cacti, a web-based host monitoring tool, that can monitor hosts through snmp. Its a php tool, and customizable. Its powerful enough to give you what you want, just the matter of configuration. The first thing, you have to make sure every host you want to monitor is snmp enabled.

com2sec local localhost YOUR_COMMUNITY_STRING
com2sec mynetwork 202.190.123.144/28 YOUR_COMMUNITY_STRING

group MyRWGroup v1 local
group MyRWGroup v2c local
group MyRWGroup usm local
group MyROGroup v1 mynetwork
group MyROGroup v2c mynetwork
group MyROGroup usm mynetwork

view all included .1 80

access MyROGroup "" any noauth exact all all none
access MyRWGroup "" any noauth exact all all none

syslocation YOUR_LOCATION
syscontact YOUR_EMAIL
sysname SYSNAME

You can verify that your snmpd daemon is responding to snmp request using snmpwalk. For snmp version 1, you can use,
snmpwalk -v 1 -c YOUR_COMMUNITY_STRING 127.0.0.1
For snmp version 2,
snmpwalk -v 2c -c YOUR_COMMUNITY_STRING 127.0.0.1

This configuration is for the end host you want to monitor. In Cacti, you will need to add the community string, and the IP of the host you want to monitor. Then, cacti will start polling information from these hosts through SNMP with the credential given.
