This morning I passed by my secondary school campus. It has changed a lot with 2 brand new buildings. I started to learn programing in that school, where they taught me about palindrome and some very basic programming lessons. I don’t even remember what language was used back then. Probably basic. Then I remember learning about OO…
My venture with VULTR ended prematurely, time to move onto a more popular platform – Digital Ocean. It’s one of the first to offer an all-ssd cloud offering. Its ability to provide HTML5-based machine consoles is very interesting. For what I know, this feature does not exist on more advanced platforms like AWS / Azure.
I’s in search for a cheaper cloud service and VULTR is definitely one of them. My first impression isn’t so great as it took more than 20min to provision a CentOS 7 instance. I’m starting to doubt if the instance will ever come up, or they have really really slow SSD, or their provisioning module…
LXC has quickly become my favorate test bed. Starting a CentOS 7 container is however slightly complicated.

Here, I just want to quickly demonstrate the sharpness of this lens. The edges are obviously softer. Here I take a picture off my computer screen. The characters around edges are blurred badly.

CoreOS seems to be gaining momentum. It happens to be available on Azure so I spun up an instance and tried. Once it’s up, ssh to it and then launch a ubuntu docker instance [bash light=”true”]xpk-core01 ~ # docker run -t -i ubuntu /bin/bash root@cf1c4da1b078:/# root@cf1c4da1b078:/# lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID:…
On recent version of Fefora, CentOS, and RHEL, it is possible to use teamd to setup link aggregation. Teamd is more configurable and it allows load balancing on LACP. Here we will walk through the simple configurations using old-fashion config files. To setup load balancing without switch support (or when both connection go to the same…
I’ve been using the previous generation HA-FXT90 ever since it first came out. I was really amazed by JVC when they put together 2 dynamic drivers in a compact chassis. I love the 90 for its deep bass and otherwise balanced sound. The 208SE came out months ago but I only get to read more about…
It’s the most annoying thing when every now and then, your flash version is outdated and it won’t load the pages you visit every day. For me, this solved the problem: First, install pepperflashplugin-nonfree. It’s avaialble from official repository on Ubuntu 14.04. But this only install the plugin for chrome. Second, install the Fresh Player…
