1. Quit all open Microsoft Office applications

var="sAmplE teST"
var_ucase=`echo ${var} | tr [a-z] [A-Z]`
var_lcase=`echo ${var} | tr [A-Z] [a-z]`
echo "Upper Case : ${var_ucase}"
echo "Lower Case : ${var_lcase}"

Here is example how to trim variable in shell script :

var=" 322245 "
var_trim=`echo ${var} | sed 's/^ *\(.*\) *$/\1/'`
echo "Trimmed var : ${var_trim}"

First thing to to is creating my development environment:

- Install subversion and add subclipse plugin to my ganymede. Mac OS Leopard is comes with installed subversion so I don’t need to install it again, just need to install subversion GUI which I prefer to use is SvnX

- Install Confluence and JIRA, this is for personal use only (maybe the whole team would use it also)

- Install Oracle, *sigh* use vmware for this cause still find out how to install oracle on Mac OS X

Second thing is refresh my development stack, here is the list :

- Spring Framework, an awesome MVC framework that simply use and robust

- Acegi security which embedded with Spring Framework

- Hibernate

- Spring JDBC

- jUnit, DBUnit and Cobertura for testing

- Ant, I’m old fashioned person who likes it better than maven

- jQuery, somehow I found out this is very interesting to learn

Lets start the engine…. ^_^

See this command :

psql -t -c "\dt schema_name.*" | awk '{ if ($1!="") print "GRANT privileges ON public."$3" TO user;"}'

You need to spool command above to a file and run it as follows:

After that connect your first priority network, in my case is the 3G modem and plug the ethernet cable. After connected you can use internet connection but can’t work since it hasn’t routed yet. Open your terminal and logon as root (not user with root privileges) and type

netstat -nr

to show your routing table, you will get result similar like this :

If you see default interface used is ppp0 which is my 3G modem instead of ethernet. To make ethernet network connected you need to route it like this :

route add 172.16.xx.xx -netmask 255.255.255.0 172.16.xx.xx

After that check routing table again to make sure new routing information added. Now I can work by connected to ethernet network and still have internet connection from my modem

There is a lot of good stuff also in Julius’s site, he posted some applications based on motion sensor. Want to play game like nintendo wii? He created game named wally bally. You just need to move physically your mac left and right to play this game, quite amazing.

Also there is a software to use LED or other light sources to make it act as your mouse. You just need to point your light sources device to isight and it will recognized it as a mouse and you can move the cursor based on your light sources.

So, don’t forget head to www.julius-eckert.com directly to try some motion sensor apps on your mac

Another stunning development on Mac I think, never see it before.

I’m not sure why this happen, but since I tried to test my MacBook with a lot of benchmark tools, installing many apps and configure almost all of the preference I came with one reasonable explain. Mac also still a program right, I believed every programs which ever made must have even a bug. Nothing’s perfect bro’

Here is Mac official explanation about kernel panic :

"UNIX-style operating systems (such as Mac OS X, Mac OS X Server, AIX, and A/UX) may experience a type of error called a "kernel panic," which may provide information useful for software developers.

A kernel panic is a type of error that occurs when the core (kernel) of an operating system receives an instruction in an unexpected format, or that it fails to handle properly. A kernel panic may also follow when the operating system is not able to recover from a different type of error. A kernel panic can be caused by damaged or incompatible software or, more rarely, damaged or incompatible hardware."

When you experienced this usually you get an error prompt in a box in the middle of your screen with several languages that told you need to do a force system reboot by hold down the power button.

Worthed?? After tried to install hackintosh on my lenovo few months ago I realize why people use mac, coz’ it absolutely awesome. You’ll get windows easy use and unix powerful feature plus many things beyond of that also. 2.0Ghz Intel processor with 3MB L2 cache combined with 2GB DDR3 memory really shows good performance. Multitasking with so many apps plus VMware running Solaris seems like to easy to handle with mac, robust performance. So, its more than worthed I think .

Many people complaint about new macbook glossy screen comparing to the old matte screen on MBP. But since I only use it on indoor usage seems the glossy screen still fit for me. No firewire and express card slot was greatly substituted by the new trackpad, you must try it. The new trackpad increase your productivity, I experienced it very well. I throw out my old n’ expensive microsoft wireless mouse and not even think to buy mighty mouse (but maybe razers still fine ).

NVIDIA GeForce 9400M in new macbook also give far more better graphic performance experienced than older macbook. Playing mac native games or windows games using crossover shows more frame rate and smooth graphics. No more lag or glitches when playing games or scroll big resolution images.

Last thing that why I choose mac is coz’ GP works here dude
