Tall building is everywhere. Yup, no surprise here since land price is too expensive. People tends to build building vertically than horizontally. Welcome the skycrappers!

Few days ago, during Computex at Taipei, my friend send me a photo. The similiar photo can be seen below (I took the photo from somewhere on the net).

My friend asks me about the different between 1U rackmount server with 6U. I search around and find some valuable information from here. I copy-and-paste the table below.

Make sure you will use the correct server size. Contact your ISP or hosting provider and ask about their rack size. Usually, they accept 1U or 2U, but most of them also will support up to 5U or 6U. Just call them to make sure about this.

This is my old project, just re-uploaded again from my old tripod account to my blog

Basically, after a long discussion with my colleagues at “auvi” mailing-list, especially Mr. Paul Yahya, I decided to try the DIY cable from CAT or LAN cable.

The cables used was:

• Avaya Cable CAT5/24 AWG (for speaker cable)
• Belden Cable CAT6/23 AWG (for interconnect cable)

I used my PC as main source. As you can see from the picture above, I was using ESI Juli@ as my main source. (more…)

Finally, after waiting for about 5 months (3 months translating project), the book is published. The author of this book is Ling Zhijun, translated to English by Martha Avery, and then translated to Indonesian by Jimmy Auw.

Ini post pertama gue yang pake bahasa Indonesia. Kenapa? Karena gue percaya yang baca post ini hanyalah orang Indonesia (kalo ada). Orang-orang bule sana sih ga penting deh untuk tau urusan kerjaan gue.

Gue cukup suprise ternyata berita kepindahan gue (keluar dari CHIP) ini sudah cukup banyak diketahui, bahkan sebelum gue send resignation letter gue ke beberapa orang yang gue anggap layak untuk gue inform. Surprisingly, banyak dari mereka yang uda tau Bahkan sampe tau gue akan pindah ke mana dan ngurusin apa… ck ck ck…

No problem sih buat gue… tapi heran aja, koq pada tau ya? Bener-bener tembok-tembok ini bertelinga deh…

Gue juga mau ucapin terima kasih buat semua e-mail, SMS, atau bahkan yang telpon langsung (khususnya Chratz yang langsung telpon gue gara-gara dia pake BlackBerry jadi langsung terima e-mail resignation gue). Sorry kalo gue ga bisa reply semuanya, kadang bingung juga karena masih dalam tahap re-organisasi beberapa alamat gue nih sekaligus e-mail client yang gue pake.
