Summary

2011-06-15 – 7:02 pm

1. My life fucking changed irreversibly 2. I’ve got my first silver hair on my head at the age of 23 3. Gnome 3 is so bad that KDE 4 seems to be flying with desktop effects enabled after it 4. I’ve started cycling and jogging 5. Time to stop forbidding myself beer, coffee and […]

Windows-like Behavior in Fedora

2011-06-11 – 4:20 pm

Fedora did a thing I hated in Windows. It collected enough system files to flood my root partition over the years of usage. [root@hp ~]# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on rootfs 15G 14G 403M 98% / udev 996M 316K 996M 1% /dev tmpfs 1004M 1.5M 1003M 1% /dev/shm /dev/sda2 15G 14G […]

Норвежский лес, Харуки Мураками, рецензия

2011-06-01 – 7:10 pm

Прочитав книгу, я не понял о чем она. Повествование, начавшееся ничем и ничем окончившееся. Что хотел сказать автор? Какие идеи донести? Совершенно не очевидно. Персонажи сирые, пустые, поступки их тоже сирые, желания их сирые, жизнь их такая же. Ничего разумного, доброго, вечного в книге нет. Главгерой – никчемное тело без идеалов, без страстей, без характера, […]

Epic Return

2011-04-16 – 6:23 pm

I am cross posting to my abandoned lj since the previous post. If you have a livejournal account, feel free to add me as a friend. Ever since I left to standalone I have lost all the commentators. Eventually, standalone blogging does not seem to attract neither readers nor commentators. I hope a dead body […]

Brief dump

2011-04-10 – 7:16 pm

I wanted to write a separate article about every small topic here, but who cares? I have obtained socp service hipath 4000. A bit of new theoretical knowledge. Easy to pass – take the admission test for some 50 times with learning the questions and the certification is yours. I believe the same applies to […]

Demoronizer for a Microsoft’s HTML

2011-03-04 – 4:17 pm

I discovered another piece of computer’s history related to Microsoft’s standards ignorance. Eventually, in the early days of WEB, there was ASCII which supported only American english characters. It was fine for American-speaking users, but obviously not fine for the rest of the word who wanted to use other symbols. To solve it, ISO 8859 […]

The UNIX and Internet Fundamentals Howto

2011-03-04 – 2:35 pm

Being quite *nix experienced, I do not hesitate to go through some tutorials for beginners every now and then. It is a pleasure to discover a pieces fo fundamental wisdom hidden there. I want to explicitly remark that a hidden pieces if wisdom can be found only in *NIX tutorials. Most likely because the tutorials […]

Cisco is Good

2011-03-01 – 8:12 pm

After I passed my CCNA Security certification I was suppose to receive 2 papers: the CCNA certificate and a CNSS 4011 recognition. I’ve received the latter one only. I waited for months for the first one but I never received it. Being sure I’ll never receive the expected certificate, I referred to cisco certification support […]

Finding repeating lines in a text file

2011-02-21 – 8:53 pm

Today I learned how to find all repeating lines in a text file. My goal was to find out all lines in a text which repeat more than once. A dirty, but efficient way is using sort(8) and uniq(8) combination (thanks to my boss for a pointer). $ sort /var/log/messages | uniq -d Do not […]

Горюшко.

2011-02-06 – 1:34 pm

А если бы в начале двадцатого века Российская Империя захватила мир, то вместо маршрутизатора Cisco был бы “ЛВС высокоскоростной переключатель Светоч–4506” И не TCP/IP, а ГОСТ 1500124.37. Коллизии назывались бы оказиями: шли два пакета по ЛВС и столкнулись, вот такая оказия приключилась. А синий экран смерти назывался бы Горюшко. И да, никаких реформ языка, всё […]
