Well, was in the library today. Thought I should save everyone a lot of trouble.
Oh yeah, the Fig 21.1 in this picture is this one over here.
Also, I’m not sure if Ma’m really wanted 21.7 K and L, because as you would see 21.7 does not have sub-problems. I think she really meant 21.6.. either that or I got the wrong book. :O

CS 130 – MP 2

leave a comment>>

To those assigned to Heath, problem 2.3 p. 100, I took a picture of the page just so I need not have the page photocopied. We’re just 13 people assigned to the problem but I hope you guys get to use these.
PS: Sorry, I suck at stabilizing a camera phone. XD
PPS: I also found this: Website of Heath’s lectures. Putting this here for keepsakes.

Java and Namoroka #FirefoxFriday #MozillaPH

one comment>>

For those who’ve upgraded to Firefox 3.6 (Namoroka) in Linux and could not seem to find Java support, you can do the following to fix it up:

  1. Verify that sun-java6-plugin is installed: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin
  2. Once verified/installed, look for libnpjp2.so: locate libnpjp2.so
    • You may have to do an updatedb first: sudo updatedb
    • Mine returns /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.15/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so
    • Take note of this path.
  3. Then, navigate to your mozilla plugins path:cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
  4. Move somewhere else or completely delete libjavaplugin.so
  5. Make a symbolic link of the libnpjp2.so you find earlier to the current folder: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.15/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so . Take note of the dot at the end.
  6. Restart Firefox
  7. Test it over at the Java website

My references were the following site: Mozilla Forums and Java Webnotes

From now on, I’ll try posting Firefox related posts every Friday. :) This was an idea brought up at the Mozilla Philippines Community 2010 Kick-off meeting. :)

I found this old Soc. Sci. 2 paper while I was cleaning up my room and thought that it could be worth posting.

TESDA site defaced.

leave a comment>>

Here’s a concatenated screencap of the site:

Page 1:

Page 2:


And here are dig and whois returns: TESDA.txt

Well, securing the server is really supposed to be the job of the webhost (in this case, Bitstop Inc. or Ikoula judging from the whois records) and if this was on a shared hosting, oh boy, they’re in real big trouble with their other clients if they made some changes with the system files. Tsk tsk.

Important lesson from all of this: Do not use IIS.

Although I will not claim that Apache is bulletproof, I’m pretty sure it’s far more secure than IIS.

Edit: Tesda Women’s Center website is the one hosted at Bitstop.

Really Epic Music

leave a comment>>

The teaser video of the Durian Open Movie project used quite an epic accompanying music by Denny Schneidemesser. A lil’ searching should bring you either to his website or his newgrounds account which hosts his other music scores.

And the best part is, majority (or all?) of his music is licensed a CC-BY-NC-SA license which means it is perfectly legal to use his music scores in your personal, non-profit YouTube videos as long as you give him credit. You can also alter the work as long as it should come with the same CC-derivative license. :3

Right now, I’m listening to the said epic music titled “Entering the Stronghold” over at his NG page.

(Rough) Review of DHCP Server Web / GUI tools

leave a comment>>

This is a very rough review based solely on screenshots and documentation from the Debian help site.
The functionalities that we’re looking for are the following:

  • Ease of use for helpdesk and end-user
  • Check for existing DHCP leases
  • Release / Renew existing DHCP leases

import: Easy screenshots in Linux

3 comments>>

Pressing Print Screen in GNOME captures a screenshot of, well, the whole screen. (I’m assuming the same works for KDE too.)

What if you just want to capture a certain window or a certain area?
