What World of Warcraft Class Are You?

I’m RogueI live in the darkness, the dimly lit alleys and tavern basements, attacking my enemies swiftly and mercilessly or plotting the next silent overthrow. I am a master of stealth and subterfuge, employing any which way to gain the advantage. I am an assassin, a spy, a thief, a pickpocket, a poison master – and I will vanish before your very eyes when I think I might lose. There simply aren’t enough sharp things in the world to keep me thoroughly occupied, and I am more dangerous when bored. You won’t find my name in history books, but rest assured I am there, weaving in and out of the shadows and manipulating the world to my needs.

Take your files anywhere with Dropbox

Good Evening and Salam Sejahtera

It’s 12.00AM in the morning. Should not be a problem. I will be on night shift tomorrow. Nice huh? I can wake up late in the morning, but with a price… I have to stay until 8.00PM. Coolies. It’s raining, not much differences.

Okay, just found out one cool application which would act like your virtual storage. Syncing everything you save with your computers. Hence, opening again with different computer. A very good utility for the people on the move. I was playing with my Ubuntu Tweak when I came across with Dropbox in the 3rd party sources list. I was keen to find out what is this Dropbox all about.

A simple statement to enlighten me “Dropbox is the easiest way to share and store your files online“. Well, it is an on-line storage where it can sync to your linked computers. It acts just like your normal folder in your computer. But whatever goes inside that folder will be uploaded to the server (hint: sync). It is safe and protected. However, one should not put confidential materials there. Just as precautions.

Try it now. A very nice application.

BTW, this application is available for Linux, Mac and Windows

Akaun Lebur kena tipu… Benar atau Tipu…

Sejahtera dan Semoga Berbahgia

Berikut adalah petikan daripada Kosmo

KUALA LUMPUR – Tidak sampai empat minit, duit dalam akaun bank milik seorang pengurus, Yong Chee Seong, 30, berjumlah hampir RM5,000 lesap sekelip mata.

Kes itu dipercayai gara-gara sindiket perbankan dalam talian (online) yang didalangi pakar teknologi maklumat di kalangan warga asing yang memerangkap mangsa melalui penghantaran e-mel ‘berhantu’.

Chee Seong memberitahu, e-mel dalam bahasa Inggeris yang diteri- manya pada 23 September lalu kira- kira 1 tengah hari memintanya mengemas kini maklumat talian perbankan melalui proses pertukaran kata kunci akaun bank.

“Ia nampak asli dan meminta saya berbuat demikian bagi tujuan kese- lamatan selain mengelak ditipu oleh sindiket yang semakin menjadi-jadi di ruang siber,” katanya di sini semalam.

Menurut Chee Seong, sebagai pelanggan tetap bank terkemuka itu sejak enam tahun lalu, dia langsung tidak menaruh syak bahawa e-mel itu satu perangkap kerana pautan laman web untuk dia membuat kata kunci baru, muncul dengan hampir menyamai laman web bank tersebut.

Beliau hanya menyedari ada sesuatu yang tidak kena berlaku sele- pas beberapa minit mendaftarkan kata kunci baru dengan empat minit kemudian menerima khidmat pesa- nan ringkas (SMS) daripada pihak bank dengan maklumkan satu transaksi pemindahan wang dari akaunnya berjumlah RM4,935.

“Saya tergamam kerana saya tak buat apa-apa,” katanya.

Sejurus selepas itu, Chee Wah terus menghubungi bank berkenaan dan jurucakapnya mengesahkan polisi mereka tidak meminta pelanggan menukar data menerusi e-mel.

Chee Wah cuba mengakses kembali pautan laman web berkenaan, namun gagal.

Mangsa membuat laporan polis di Balai Polis Sea Park, Petaling Jaya pada 23 September lalu selepas dinasihatkan oleh pihak Maybank.

Apakah perkara ini benar2 berlaku. Kerana setahu saya, Maybank mempunyai satu sekuriti feature sebelum transaksi bisa dilakukan, iaitu TAC. Yang mana, kod 6 digit akan di hantar ke Mobile yang sudah berdaftar dan perlu dimasukkan ke interface Maybank sebelum transaksi berlaku. Tanpa code ini, tiada transaksi akan berlaku. Adalah amat mustahil untuk sebuah transaksi berlaku tanpa TAC code ini.

Maka, suka saya bertanya apakah transaksi bisa berlaku walaupun tanpa TAC? Transaksi pemindahan wang tanpa memerlukan TAC hanya bisa dilakukan pada akaun2 bank yang telah didaftarkan sahaja, itupun memerlukan TAC untuk pertama kali. Ini berita temberang saya rasa.

Namun sebagai langkah berjaga2 haruslah kita semua menjadi bijak semasa berfikir. Tidaklah perlu kita menjadi begitu dungu di dalam hal yang remeh seperti ini.

Sejahtera Semua

OUM Digital Library has new look too…

Good Evening,

Another 45 minutes to go before I will start chasing all the students out from this library. /lol. Of course, will never do that. It will reflect me as a person and what not, as a Happy Librarian. This is Munawar the Happy Librarian. The one that will always try to help no matter what.

For the past few months, I have made some changes to the iPortal’s look and feel. However, it is not available to the general public. You have to log in to our system in order to view. The time has come however, to replace the old look of Public iPortal. Remove some useless codes and putting away non-public directive and add-up some CSS 2.1. The new iPortal is now available.

This server is lacking some important packages, no PHP and mySQL. Nothing much that I can do. Installing won’t help either, I will need to recompile APACHE which I dare not to do. Let it be, let it be. Do not have the guts to face the fiasco should it arise.


Maybank2u has new face, but…

Good Morning

Recently, Maybank has made a face-lift to its secured site. Seems they do realise after-all that maybank2u.com.my old version sucks. /lol. Seriously, of all banks I used, Maybank is the last in term of Graphical Appearance. Functionality is outstanding however. People don’t really care about look and feel unless it will make people go confuse. /Outcry

Such is the case of Maybank’s new look. Fast learners should not having any problem. I have no problem to discover or learn something new. People with disabilities might have. But hey, all those confusing stuff is nothing compared to functionality of a system. You suck big time now maybank2u.com.my. This is my 5th attempts to transfer me money to somewhere else. Guess what, this is what I get

Our service is currently available. and bla bla bla. I prefer the old system. Ugly but effective not like this one, beautiful but useless. Speaking of the devil, I remember Jimmy Soul’s song “If You Want to be Happy”. This part really reflects you Mr. Maybank

But if you make an ugly woman your wife
you’ll be happy for the rest of your life
An ugly woman cooks meals on time
And she’ll always give you peace of mind

Didn’t you test the system thoroughly like really try the system before transferring it to production server? You suck big time.

Real values of Datuk

Good Morning and Salam Sejahtera

Shah Rukh Khan has been conferred Datuk my Malacca State Government (looking at Rustam). Now, all of us must address SRK as Yang Berhormat or whatsoever (I couldn’t care less about honouring these people). Only those who really deserve such a title I adhere to. Datuk for SRK? Please… Who is he to receive such a title. Let me quote the saying of Malaysia’s Former Prime Minister, he once said “Personally, I feel if you want to give value to anything, it must be limited…if you produce a million Ferrari cars, nobody will care about buying a Ferrari.

This is what the Sir Rustam said:

  1. He has also starred in many top Hindi movies filmed on location in Malaysia, which has helped promote the country as a tourist destination.
  2. This is one of the main reasons he was conferred this honour.
  3. This resulted in many people visiting Malacca. The award was given in recognition of this.

Plain and Simple. A brilliant explanation by Sir Rustam. But hey Sir Rustam, The Mobs (ain’t Gangster as translated by ASTRO in Gladiators, bodoh punya ASTRO) have spoken. Most of them do not agree with you. Awarding Datuk to an outsider is not a brilliant move. Why don’t you award Datuk to Shivaji Rao (The Great Super Star Rajinikanth, this one I love and will always love) too? I do believe, well most Malaysians would prefer Rajinikanth then SRK.

In term of popular support, Rajinikanth is much better than SRK. Come one, all Hindi movies are total lies. Not even one touches the real issues of men. Tamil movies, ridiculous they are, at least disclose and display some real issues.

As if there is no qualified Malaysian actors, actresses, singers, songwriters and artists. Well, it seems the Great Uncle Lim agrees with me. This is what he said, “Are there no Malaysian film stars, artists or sports-people who have greater (talent) to be honoured and encouraged as compared to Shah Rukh?

What is happening to my country? Where is the real value of Malaysia’s Knighthood now? This is a mockery to Malaysia’s Knighthood holders. All Datuk should bear the name proudly. With the admission of SRK, lol. Will the rest of the Datuks feel happy. I don’t know you tell me!!!

What a circus!!!

Datuk Shah Rukh Khan???

Good Evening

Well, it seems my beloved country has just been transformed into one big Circus Show. Let me quote something from the Great Preacher Berita Harian:

MELAKA: Panglima Tentera Laut Diraja Malaysia (TLDM), Datuk Abdul Aziz Jaafar dan artis Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan adalah antara 758 pemerima anugerah dan pingat sempena Harijadi Yang Dipertua Negeri Melaka yang ke-70, esok.

Aziz menerima Darjah Cemerlang Seri Melaka yang membawa gelaran Datuk Wira manakala Shah Rukh menerima Darjah Mulia Seri Melaka yang membawa gelaran Datuk.

More

What the hell is this. Is this some kind of joke? No one will question if the Admiral were to be conferred Datuksip. Shouldn’t be a problem. Shah Rukh Khan? What has he done to receive such title. Is this for real? I don’t know, you tell me!! Gile ape!

Let me see, despite of making Malaysia as one of the locations for his film (BTW, it was the producer not him) and making many Malaysians go crazy for him, he does nothing significant for Malaysia. This is the best joke of the year. Jack Ass.

We have become one of the best laughing stocks for the year of 2008. Oh what the hell. This country is a circus indeed.

Let the show begin!!!

Wang Ihsan Bill Gates???

Sejahtera dan Selamat Pagi.

Semoga kalian berada di dalam keadaan sihat dan sejahtera. Beberapa hari yang lalu saya ada nampak sebuah akhbar tabloid terutama di Malaysia (pandai2 korang la teka) bercerita tentang isu yang lapuk dan hanya golongan dungu sahaja akan mempercayainya. Kes-kes penipuan di internet, SMS dan jurujual sememangnya amat popular di seluruh dunia. Ini adalah biasa kerana, siapa yang tak mahu duit? Namun suka saya berkata, bahawa mangsa-mangsa yang tertipu ini selalunya orang-orang yang kurang membaca (bodoh dalam bahasa biadapnya). Mana ada sumber duit yang mudah serta halal. Sumber duit yang mudah serta cepat selalunya adalah melalui jenayah.

Apa faedahnya si Tuan Bill Gates nak kasi korang duit. Siapa kamu semua yang perlu dia beri wang ehsan. Tidak terpikirkah akan kelogikannya di sini. Siap nak buat laporan di akhbar tu yang tambah kekelakarannya. Tapi takpelah, akhbar tabloid, siapa yang peduli. Asal ada orang baca, laku, selagi itulah ceriti-ceriti seperti itu akan mendapat tempat. Yang kelakarnya, ada orang percaya. Har Har Har.

Email-email berantai ini hanya diforwardkan oleh mereka yang mempunyai lebihan masa di pejabat. Apakah perlu saya melayan email2 berantai ini. Selalunya, email2 seperti ini akan terus ke tong sampah. Cuma sayangnya, ada juga beberapa manusia yang memilih untuk memforwardkannya kepada orang lain. Email berantai ini tidak akan berlaku sekiranya oramg ramai memilih untuk “delete” terus.

Fenomena email berantai ini, tidak terhad kepada email sahaja. Ianya juga berlaku di Forum, Message Board di Friendster, Myspace dan lain-lain lagi. Sungguh cetek pemikiran orang yang menghantar benda2 seumpama ini. Yang kelakarnya, siap mengaku Micorsoft beri dia duit RM 2500.00, RM 10,000. Bodoh ke ape? Tiadalah faedah untuk Microsoft (Mikroskop bak kata kawan saya yang klakar) memberi anda semua duit. Nak duit usaha la gileeee!!! Dalam World of Warcraft pun Gold kena cari sendiri. Siapa nak kasi secara percuma.

Pada mereka yang terlibat dengan aktiviti menghantar email2 berantai ini, hentikanlah usaha anda. Hentikan daripada memenuhi Inbox kami dgn dakyah bodoh kamu. Tiadalah berfaedah segala usaha anda. Jangan jadi bodoh. Ada satu function “Delete” dan silalah tekan butang itu daripada pilh unutk forward.

Pada mereka yang tertipu, silalah belajar untuk berfikir secara logik. Siapa yang mahu beri duit secara percuma. Kiranya anda kaya dan raya, Mahukah anda memberikan wang anda secara percuma?

Pikir-pikirlah.

Hari Raya… aku dah tua

Salam Sejahtera dan Selamat Hari Raya

Adapun sudah beberapa hari saya ketinggalan unutk update blog ini. Al-Maklum sajalah, saya sebok berhari raya dan juga sebok berkerja sebelum raya itu. Malam Selasa itu juga, saya dan pamili pulang ke Alor Star. Kononnya tak mahu balik, tapi apabila dipikirkan, sudah 4 tahun tidak pulang, maka saya pun ubah fikiran. Ayah dah balik awal2 dah. Merajuk la kot pasal anak2 dia tak mahu balik.

Pada awalnya memang saya tak mahu balik kerana, sebab malas dan perjalanan yang jauh. Namun, apabila dipikrkan akan hutang saya 4 tahun itu, maka saya balik juga. 4 tahun tak jumpa mereka di sana. Sampai di Alor Star dalam 3.30AM (bertolak pukul 11.30PM), dan terus berjaga sehingga pagi untuk sembahyang Sunat Aidilfitri.

Pagi raya itu terdapat ramai muka yang dahulunya berhingus, degil dan nakal. Namun hari itu, segalanya sudah berubah. Dah besar2 rupanya mereka semua. Har Har Har. Aku pun dah tua. Dan seperti biasa, soalan lazim untuk orang bujang seperti saya “Bila lagi??”. Huh, cukup bosan dengan soalan itu. Jawapan saya adalah mudah dan simple. “Bila saya hantar surat Kahwin!!” Itulah dia dilemma setiap orang yang masih bujang. Cinta hati ada, cuma masih belum berkemampuan.

Kahwen bukan cerita pasal romen2 sahaja (buat anak la kata biadapnya). Itu salah satu daripada nikmat kahwen. Pemakanan, pakaian, perumahan dan kenderaan. Itu semua adalah tanggungjawab yang perlu dipenuhi. Takde duit, jangan bercerita tentang kahwen. Insya-Allah, dalam masa terdekat ini, berkawhinlah saya. Saya pun nak bin Ahmad Munawar juga. Yang lain semua sudah ada “bin” dan “binti”. Kelak nanti giliran saya untuk binkan atau bintikan akan tiba. Tunggu sahaja.

Pejam celik, rupanya sudah 29 tahun saya bernafas. Raya ntah berapa kali saya kurang pasti. Lebih daripada 29 kali itu yang saya pasti. Kalendar Gregorian dan Kalendar Islam tak sama. Takde masa saya nak buat kira2. Yang pasti saya dah Tua. har har har.

Okeylah Selamat Hari Raya

Is CAP nuisance to the society?

Good Morning and Evening

Recently, I read an article in Malaysiakini about Wi-Fi being dangerous. Is this all about opposing free Wi-Fi services to all folks in Penang? I don’t know, you tell me! What is this all about then? Do wi-fi radio frequency carry health threat? Well, I don’t think so. I have been exposed to Wi-Fi signal for quite sometimes, I do not have any health problem. I believe many people’s are being exposed to various types of radio frequency, Mobile Phone, FM, AM, Wi-Fi and many more. Do they get sick?

I quote this from Wi-fi: Better safe than sorry

Wi-fi, like mobile phones, is an untested technology, meaning that it hasn’t yet been proven safe for use. Wi-fi operates in a way very similar to mobile phones – which should be of concern, as it is now believed that the universal use of mobile phones may be storing up medical catastrophes for the future.

Like mobile phones and their towers (or masts), Wi-Fi also emits microwave radiation. Though virtually no research has been carried out, public health advocates and some scientists expect them to have similar ill effects. It is reported that we are all now living in a soup of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) one billion times stronger than the natural fields in which living cells have developed over the last 3.8 billion years.

Though virtually no research has been carried out would simply mean your finding and accusation and proposal are baseless and invalid. What is he talking about? I don’t know, you tell me!! Why CAP must always oppose many of the societal benefits improvement. This is not the first time. Don’t ever make a concussion or decision from several findings that are not authoritative and its accuracy may be disputed. Do some reading next time.

Today, we are surrounded by signals. Not from one source, but many of them. Many experts claim (one of them is CAP), that radiation emitted from wireless technology poses a health risk. They are 2.5 billion cell phones users around the world. Professor Henry Lai of the University of Washington, who studies the biological effects of electromagnetic fields, has this to say “Cell phones pose the greatest potential health risks due to their proximity to the head”. Evidence is conflicting, over the past 30 years, studies show nothing, Prof. Henry Lai added.

In the land of the Norseman, Several epidemiological studies of cell phone users found no evidence of increased risk of brain tumours. Andrei Laszlo a professor at Washington University in St. Louis, and several colleagues have tested possible mechanisms of carcinogenesis-including radiation exposure ten times greater than the maximum from today’s cell phones-he has obtained negative results in every study. “I feel that the problem of health risks associated with wireless technology, especially cell phones, has been exaggerated in the media,” Laszlo says. “We have a sign in our laboratory: “Cell phones will kill you if you use them while you drive.

Well then CAP, this for you to consider, subscribe to ProQuest or EBSCOhost or Academic OneFile or MEDLINE before giving out a ridiculous proposal. Rather than simply took an article from the Internet and make baseless proposals.

Adios
