Have you experienced problem with Solaris cron when crontab -e command doesn’t work as usual? Cannot edit your crontab file? Things always different on Solaris, try to do:

export EDITOR=vi

and then run:

crontab -e

don’t forget to run crontab -l to see if the changes are applied. That’s will solved the problem.

Last year my job desk was a software developer, build VAS messaging application. With only 3 developers and so many requirement with only less than one and a half month effective time for developing the application (what we were doing for the last four months since it started… :p). Pass with good result from my point of view

Entering first quarter of this year my job desk changed into system engineer for delivering a new solution in data warehousing technology. Building it from scratch without know anything about it before and no adequate support except at the end of time line. *sighs* This is our team achievement, awesomely succeed. This is flawless victory ha3x (taken from mortal kombat) .

After finished the last project now my job desk changed into technical support (changed again? enough dude…) for datawarehouse implementation, and also for others that I don’t even know (as usual) .

Can somebody tell me what my real job desk? Never can answer it if someone ask me :p Some of my friend told me maybe I’m trying to act as a superman, do everything. Hahaha I’m still put my underwear inside my pants not on top of it like Clark Kent do with those pathetic blue costume

Found this question posted on Linkedin.

I think need to categorize this by it’s usage: server, desktop and mobile. For server usage there is several kind such as Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, RedHat Enterprise, etc. And for desktop usage we have Windows, MacOS, Linux, etc. How about mobile usage? It almost the same with desktop, the different was just for mobile version.

For server usage I prefer to use Solaris, it is really awesome OS with so many features but not recommended for entry user (even vi on Solaris is really sucks, it’s unix based man not linux :p). Solaris came with so many advance features, the latest is ZFS which is a file system. ZFS have good compression, almost no limit file size and creation on virtual storage pool based called zpool. We can create ZFS on top traditional UFS, no need to changed disk layout. Snapshots are the best feature in ZFS for me, we can do backup maintaining without third party software and do it on the fastest way. We can create a snapshot from a pool and move it into backup storage, also we can do a daily backup using incremental snapshots that only use a few disk space because it only capture different things from last backup not capture the whole thing. Using ZFS Snapshots make us have a time machine that can rollback to any save point when problems come, this is really good for disaster recovery plan. Solaris have native hardware with Sun’s machines (of course it is caused Solaris is Sun’s product ), same thing for HP with HP-UX and IBM with AIX. Combination of these are one of the best (Sun servers are invading other vendors market share I think). Other OS I’d like to prefer is RedHat Enterprise Linux, no need to explain it Linux is easy to use and manage compared to unix. Other reason for choosing RedHat it because I think gnome still better than KDE .

Desktop OS, *sigh* this market share are definitely owned by Microsoft. Who doesn’t know Windows? It’s really easy to use and with so many applications build on top of it, even the security issue and to much consuming resources are still cannot solved by Microsoft as per my assumption (hackers wont do an attacks as intensively to other OS than Windows since it owned more than 90% market share cookie). But once I’m trying MacOS it changed everything. Powerful as unix but ease of use like Windows also the interface are more far better. MacOS are using customer approach to improve, is there any other OS enabling Web 2.0 technologies? Nope, trying to do it with many add on maybe….

Last one is for mobile usage, Windows Mobile is really fit for me. It’s really same thing with desktop version, what you can do in desktop version also available on mobile version. But since Apple realease iPhone, there is a new thought on everyone’s mind including me. It’s amazing, how can Apple make a great innovation on mobile technologies? I bet Steve Balmer was very shock when iPhone launched :p, even it not take Microsoft market share the innovation is really brilliant. How about Symbian? Geez… it’s nothing to compare with, but it use on Nokia’s phone and others also. That makes Symbian lead the market. Linux still struggling to prove them self on mobile.

eCrew Management…

What’s was that? It’s my next personal project.

Damn, it’s really make me have no day for rest. Even I’m still confused which technology will be used, java or php. This is another crazy thinkin’ from me also, accepting this opportunity from my colleague. With only few information I need to build a web based application for crewing management on maritime outsourcing company, really challenging . I’m finished creating the business model for this, it not hard to completed since ERP still more complicated. *sighs*

Now I need to start build the demo application, damn I also need to finished other project for web designing, company profile and how about my plan to take some certifications? Arggghhh…..

I need to do something with my time management…. No more hangout… No more reading books… No more free browsing or blog walking… No more other unneeded activities… (

Help me please…

Hmmm, I’m starting to write again….

For u guys who know the reason behind this don’t laugh me please :p
