Why do you write? Some people might be asking why they would have blogs, why they would write a book or other forms of publications. They would end up with various reasons. Some would say they write to make a living. Some might say they write to fulfill their passion. Some others might even write because of peer preassure or because they want to be popular. Even Barney writes his blog to be legen... wait for it ...dary! Legendary! I write simply because I want to. Not because I want people to read it and change their lives. Not to be legendary like Barney. Not because I want to make a living out of it. Not because I want to be famous. Not even to fulfill my passion. Just because I want to, as simple as that. I write whenever I feel like writing, wherever I can (laptop, paper, smartphone), and I write whatever comes through my head. Not some pre-researched topics I think people would love to read. Take this post as an example. I wrote this in a motor garage while getting my motorcycle h...

It's January 12, 2010 and I haven't made something I used to make from year to year, my new year resolution. I openned this year with a very happy gift. My son was born at the beginning of the year.

Some of which are: Get my master degree before 25.  I managed to finish my master degree on July 2008, the graduation was in November 2008, so basically I'm on the right track, going a few months faster. Target met. Get married at no more than 25. I managed to get married on December 2008, or approximately 2 months before I'm 25. So this one is also met nicely. Work for a company that is number 1 in the world in its field. Back in 2008, I worked for Deloitte 's Enterprise Risk Services Group. The ERS is the world leader in security and privacy. So, th...

On The Transition To Linux I used to be a Windows user for as long as I can remember. But for the past 6 months I tried using linux, thx to my friend Gesang  and his provocative act influencing me to switch to linux.  Now I am using Backtrack 4 R1 (Ubuntu 8.10), a penetration testing distribution. I use the distro because I need the pentest capability to test the applications I created. So after about 6 months on Linux, I decided on switching my main O/S to Linux and leaving my Windows XP SP2 as an alernative. I don't know. Give me a couple of months and perhaps I'll run Windows on a VM. Now let,s get to the real point why I wrote this post in the first place. When I switched, the main problem was that most of the stuffs in my laptop is not all directly included in the distribution. Thus, I have to search all over the web for the required resources. This post will sum up where you'll have to download all the stuffs. Graphic Driver No, the graphic driver is no...
