My First Server & Mirroring...

FYI, it's my first try in installing and mirroring a server... *Ack*... Well, it's not a new job etc, I know how to deal with PC's... Servers, well it's not too different when it comes to installing Windows OS... yeah yeah... "kacang" ... "a piece of cake" ... how about mirroring for the first time...

Browsing through Wikipedia... I found RAID 0,1,2,3,4... O_o ... the list goes on! OMG... *thinks* I only have 2 Serial ATA drives... need to mirror = RAID 1. "Pokes nose into the CD pack" ... *Install a bunch of things*... *ACK*... Cant find my HDD?... but but... during boot up... both my HDD are indicated as HEALTHY! ...

*Punch in 1-800-88-xxxx* ... "Press 6 for...* *BEEP"

"Hello, this is D... How can I help you?"

... ask a bunch of questions... Already created my RAID 1 and mirrored the drives... need to install the device drivers before my HDD can be detected... *thinks that the User Manual didn't state about anything in the server... darn... stupid CD's that don't tell you anything* ...

"Try this CD... it'll help you with... bla bla bla..."

*Run's the CD... Keep's finger crossed*

*Runs a whole bunch of tests... Plug & Unplug HDD's... Test Files... Format HDD... Plug & Unplug*

VOILA! IT WORKS!!!

WOOHOO... *prepares to send server to the company and self to the airport tomorrow* :P

Bounce Back To Life...

I found a new blog that might interest those that love pictorial/ comic blogs - http://hutdugaikarsui.blogspot.com/ - Bounce Back To Life

The Sleeping Jessica Alba

Yup! It's Jessica Alba in SARAWAK!... No one would believe it but she was... Even Normah Medical Centre was involved!

Thanks Liz!

Spoiler:

Jessica plays a role as an Iban girl which practically "serves" as a Sleeping Dictionary, where she learns the language from the person she sleeps with and to teach her partner on the local culture and language. She fell in love with a British guy and they both intended to get married but it was not allowed by each others culture etc. Eventually lots of stuff got in between then the guy left Sarawak and came back again a year later with a wife (yeah, he got married). Eventually he looked for Selima (Jessica) and wanted to see their son and eventually found them. Yes, in the end they managed to get together with and bring up their son together.

Comments:

Not a movie for everyone of every age or race. To be watched with an open mind. And yes, her speech in local dialect still has an American accent.

Countdown

As of now, I have officially 2 more working days with the current company I'm in. I'll be off to Melaka on the 28th... in the evening. Can't wait to get started on the new job but then, hope to get more experience and a better future too... :) I'm leaving... on a jetplane... don't know when I'll be back again...

Maiden of the Ring...

Yes... it's THE RING... MUAHAHAHA... just kidding...

Just incase you were inquisitive on how it looked like... :P

12 days...

I'll finally be leaving this company in 12 days... not 12 days of Christmas though... Apparently leaving friends and family too at a later date... "Leaving on a jetplane, don't know when I'll be back again..." --- Thats for sure...

Can't wait to live in a new place but also will miss home... "Home is where the heart is." I guess that's true... I'm definitely going to miss my parents and everyone else lots... Good thing there's Streamyx at the new place though...

Anyway... time to think on what else to pack...

Trembling Monitor...

There's renovation going on for the past I don't-remember-any-more months above us. Last year it was below us (Ground Floor) and it turned out to be TNT. Earlier this year it was beside us and it turned out to be a car accessory shop... Now I wonder who will be our neighbour next.

Apparently all that drilling and welding and constant hammering is driving my colleagues and I deaf and mentally mad especially unable to concentrate on our work... well, we could TRY... :P Anyway, it's either the drilling/ welding that causes our monitor to quiver and shake... not literally as in the physical, but more like the screen it displays... Makes me giddy and feel like puking... :P I'd rather play counterstrike!!! (Although I got sick of it after 2 hours playing that on LAN a few years back).

Anyway... it's almost time to start working again... *getting sleeeepyyyyy* will save other ramblings for another day...
