It has been quite a while that I didn”t update my blog, and here”s just to update on what have been doing lately;
1. Website revamp
As can already be seen, my website has gone through a major revamp, and that had cost me a considerable amount of time and effort, and for those who don”t even notice it, you can read from the many announcements and such that I put everywhere in the website. This is probably the main cause that I was not able to update the website”s content”s, and I”m sorry for that. The revamp is mostly complete by now, and I have great days to come to spend with this website as there many plans that I have in mind. Anyway, what good is a plan if it”s not executed, and for that let”s just see how things go..
2. Usrah
We”ve had 2 sessions of Usrah Linux (this is just a temporary name since we still couldn”t decide on a name for our weekly Linux discussion group) already that I didn”t cover in this blog. During last week”s session, we had a lightning round but since everybody has too much to say, only 4 of us manage to come forth and share with others. I started it with my website”s internals (joomla and components, SEO, robots, htaccess etc2.) and Mahmud @ Yomud followed with a demo on using memgrep to see memory”s content. Bro Adli later showed us GPG and as usual, he come with good explainations which most of the time is much more than just a brief. Fadli ended up the session by sharing some KDE tips; ssh -X kicker to ease remote X session, running kdeinit to speedup kde program”s initialisation / execution, remote printing using kprinter and lastly using fish on konqueror.
Last night we had another session and during that Bro Adli shared with us his experience in using snort, with some demos and explained on how to write snort signatures. The session ended with late night dinner at Bangi Bistro as usual.
3. Joomla and PHP
Ever since my manager told me that I”ll be taking over the role of our resigning PHP/Portal developer, I”m getting more serious into PHP, and Joomla in particular. This website by itself is a training ground for me for that purpose, though initially the existence was for me to share what I think is useful, apart from improving my writing skill, which is bad at this time.
