jobless post

waiting to wake a friend of mine, decided to post an image, on what happens if i'm bored.

actually, its not even his bday +_+

effect of overloaded owners of SLR cameras

1st of all, the usual apologies for having a life n not updating this blog more frequently. lols kidding. was kinda busy n had many issues b4. now all of it are considered done n i can finally find a boring place in my life to update this blog of mine. +_+

i think we all know that SLR cameras are everywhere these days. its a trend. but what are the effects of this scenario? from what i can see, ppl are starting to spend more, coz SLR camera's price range if i'm not mistaken would be more than RM1000 for a complete basic set. yes ppl are learning to save their money, some even cut down on their eating just to save up money to buy these cameras. but once they have enuf money, they spend it all at once just for that camera, only to act cool with it (well, ppl ARE overrating the device to me lol)

this scenario also created DOZENS of self-proclaimed photographers. taking normal pictures that can be taken better with a cameraphone (well not in terms of pic resolution of course) and just edit the picture afterwards with the additional "blablabla photography" on it. lol. n most of the photographers today just build their reputation just by being friends with good looking dudes and chicks and taking photos of them. thus, the word gets out that the person taking that picture is a photography GOD. *sigh*

another self-proclaimer that arises with this 'trend' on my observation would be the self-proclaiming models. just because they're friends with ppl who owns SLRs, they're usually invited to photo shootings by their friends to hv their pictures taken in the best possible manner to make they look perfect inside that photo session. n just because of that, they're claiming themselves as 'models'. *another sigh*

as the circle goes, ppl buys SLR, claiming to be a photographer, are friends with good looking peeps, invites them for a photoshoot, taking normal pictures, but the good looking peeps dont know a thing about ACTUAL photography uploads in onto facebook n calls it ART and claiming that the photographer is a photography GOD while claiming to be a 'part-time' model.

trust me, there are ppl spending their wealth to take pictures like this

well they're better of buying a normal digital camera instead IMO. lols

LOLOLOL

youth festival vs rock the world

phew, just finished my time as a volunteer at youth '10 festival. specific location : battle of the bands stage.

here's my vote on the title of this post, YOUTH FESTIVAL!
yes, i'm voting for youth festival over rock the world, an event i've been attending since high school. simply because, youth festival really has what it takes! (seriously, this is not a promotion)

ok for rock the world cons, since the past few rock the worlds, bands performing are bands that are played on the radio, or at least bands that have a reputation. to me those bands are overrated. well at least most of them are. there only few great bands that performs at rock the world, and the fact of paying 20+ to see a boring show, makes me lazier to go.

youth festival, an event for youths. frankly speaking the event itself is a healthy event with lots and lots of cool activities, and of course, FREEBIES. but since i'm 1 of the music volunteer team, i'll crap more about the musical side of the event.

for all 3 days, i've witnessed lots and lots (i do mean LOTS) of great bands performing, which makes me more irritated to those who dare to say malaysian music doesnt have what it takes. great bands from my perspective, bands who does not follow the trend, creates great, creative music.

from contestants of battle of the bands to the performers of the event, MANY great bands played! seriously, that is music. even tipped a reporter on a band that i've been watching, who appears to be the champion of youth festival's battle of the band. haha.

seriously being a volunteer working around the stage area, made me really proud of the ACTUAL music scene in malaysia. no crap bands playing brit pop 'indie' songs (no offence to the genre but crappy bands playing the genre and calling themselves 'indie' spreading like shit is starting to make me sick)

seriously if u didnt came by youth '10 or the battle of the band stage last weekend, u've missed out on a hell of an experience. especially for music lovers. coz i even knew a band whose members are around 20 years old. they do play GREAT songs and they are performing at an event on that age. how cool is that? n still some ppl have the guts to say malaysian music doesnt have what it takes?

i think we have what it takes in the music SCENE, but not in the INDUSTRY. coz the industry focusses more on mainstream bands/music...and yeah, i think currently it is focused on brit pop 'idie' bands. such a shame for the great bands who are not getting the credit from the INDUSTRY :(

well nvm, i got many REAL malaysian musicians' contact details from the event. who knows, maybe it'll worth something someday ^^

one tree hill s07e22 song

there's a song during this episode that really caught my attention. after searching a while, i found that the song name is light outside by wakey! wakey!. they even did a cover on weezer's say it aint so. great cover and a great song. pure creativity with awesome music with lyrics overall :D

another song by wakey2 inside this episode, almos enough by wakey! wakey!

please bring back real music into the industry

what ever happened to spider, pop shuvit, k-town clan, disagree, estranged and all the real musicians in Malaysia? why are they not on the top of the industry like they're supposed to?

*sigh*

btw fag bands are not considered as musicians. Bunkface? they only follow their own crowd, and also following Greenday's musical change. Meet uncle hussein? hujan dan rakan2 whos music are very similar, dat stuff is shit. you only know how to follow the trend. dont call urself musicians please.

well, hope that the real musicians will get the chance to go big. just look at Pop shuvit. let all the stupid kids ignore them, they're a blast in japan! Estranged, quite similar situation, n yet they performed for MTV's world staage here. they deserve that international recognition coz they are REAL musicians. lets hope they give a sense of hope to other REAL musicians here to just forget our local crowd, they're just focusing on being cool, they don't know music i guess. lol :)

serious project!

following my previous post, i'd like to make a simple test, here in Malaysia

looking for a band, no matter how crappy you are, as long as ur in a band and can play music or even make noise with the instrument for all that i care.

to the band, i'd like it for you to go online, broadcast ur music everywhere possible. after doing that, just create a random hype bout ur band. just say it to the kids if they still havent heard bout ur band, they're so yesterday. hope and just hope that the hype u've created will get the kids' attention. plus points if u're aiming the 'cool schools' such as schools in damansara, shah alam, seri bintang utara or any school that you may think is cool.

next step, play in a local gig, once the hype is out and all the kids are banging to ur music no matter how crappy it is, they'll surely bang their heads off when they see u live. (proven by all the shitty malaysian bands out there who doesnt know how to really make own music, and not the same shitty music that other bands are playing)

after u've gone live, its time to go BIG babe! screw all the 'indie' labels u got while u were promoting ur music. thats just for promotion purposes only! get a record company to sign u in n go ahead and make a shitty album/EP or anything shitty for all i care. all the 'famous' bands are doing it right?

well, here comes the kids role again, surely they will buy ur album and give you their full support even when they're shitting piglets out from their ass. at this point, u can just play what ever music that they want u to play. do remember, it does not fuckin matter if ur music is that horibble. they're still giving their heart out to support u coz they'll think that by supporting such crappy music will make them cool. heck they'll also think they'll score +1000 cool points if they're a hardcore fan of urs.

ok now that u've made it big with ur crappy music, time to break it to the stupid kids. just make a statement bout the entire plan and just say that all ur supporters are shitheads for trusting the stupid hype. but well if u really do that, good luck walking around bukit bintang, pavillion or even mid valley coz all of them idiots seems to make all that spots their hangout place. haha

actually this is just another stupid theory on all the shitty music thats been circulating around Malaysia coz young bands prefer to follow the kids' demands and not trying to be unique with own style of music, well at least music that is not similar to 10 other bands within the same country. please, i've seen freelancer musicians play far better music than our so called 'artists' that only know how to follow the music trend.

lols enuf crap for now. -off-

to euphonious utp 2010 committee :)

i got all the shoutbox chat history log along with your statement to approach disagree. if you want them you can leave a comment with ur email address in the comments :)

i decided to stop the comments on the shoutbox as ur committee are replying my questions with nonsense, even after i ignored them. even replied as wadefak's mom, wtf? kurang ajar sangat sampai ke level macam tu? they even replied using my name after i ignored them. *sigh*

the facts are, u're not doing ur job right. u've stated to approach the 2nd highes vote here but then about a week later u made another voting between 6th sense and disagree (link). voting also 1 week before actual event. wtf? if u've really contacted disagree 1 week before opening another vote, i think u can have them at ur show. maybe u can just manage 6th sense because they are the only available artist? if so then stop with the bullshit and just say so.

u made the new voting 1 week before the actual event and only gave us about 24 hours to vote. and when disagree's vote increases, u say that its a false vote, saying that the voter have same ip address. u cant get the voter's ip address unless u hosted the voting inside UTP. i'm an ICT student. if you can provide me actual proof on this issue then i'll drop it. else, stop the bullshit please.

u guys even printed the banner without any guest artist information on it. do you think that the guest artist is just cukop syarat to manage eupho? thinking that we'll come even if you bring in any artist as long as there's a guest artist in the event? well let me tell u, u'll certainly only get attendees who are friends with the band members, or someone who doesnt have anything better to do.

btw u're also saying that the 1st eupho committee ketinggalan zaman? tak tau ape? urs is much better? LOL!! without them, i think u'll never think of hosting euphonious. show some respect to ur elders you dumb #$@#$!. wakakaka. when ur elders give you tips, at least say thanx even if you're not accepting it. sigh, n then still got the balls to say my mom never teach me. (read urself in the log if u want, i never mess with ur family members) :)

btw u still havent answered my questions inside the shout, only replying with bullshit so far :)

how to be a famous artist

after a while, finally a new post is up (dont seem to have much time now)

straight to the point, here a my own personal tips on how to be a famous artist/singer

1 - listen to the radio, try to catch the current music hype, make a song that is similar to the song! kids these days dont really have the taste for music to appreciate uniqueness in music. they just normally go for the hype ones only

2 - good voice is no longer a criteria to be an artist nowdays (especially in Malaysia), refer tip #1

3 - create a song that kids can either bang their head to or dance like shit as if they wish they are in a nightclub. a simple beat editing from current music hype can also help.

4 - make the beat of your song remixable. this will increase the chances of primary school kids to dance anywhere in this world (...and i do mean ANYWHERE) and pretend that they are in a club, hitting it off with a hot chick.

5 - simply try to sneak into a recording studio, and when any artist is recording their sound, try to add your own sound (screams like "yeah" "uh huh" "owh kayyy" or even just blast the mic with your own beat). like i said, good voice is no longer a criteria (refer to tip #2). and if your own sound can make the song more happening or more remixable, you'll surely get a deal out of it.

6 - when all methos fails, just do a cover on all hit songs, +10 if you're covering current hype songs. or better yet, just change some of the lyrics, make it silly, use the original sounds, and make a parody. (this tip is proven by weird al and boyce avenue)

ok enuf crap for today.

under renovation

blog under renovation til further notice. moving all my technical stuffs to http://mp7r33.blogspot.com and #itu related stuffs to http://iniblogcenelitu.blogspot.com

btw both blogs are still empty for the time being :D

fedora join and split files

normally if i want to split files, i'd compress the file into 7z which has the option to split the files
and to join files, i just use 'cat'

but yesterday my roomate, told me about lxsplit, something like windows' hjsplit.

usage, just type lxsplit -j (filename).001 and the program will join all the files
to split files, just type lxsplit -s (filename) (split size, ex:14M)

kudos to m0d0.

btw the program runs on command line which makes it far much cooler than hjsplit. CLI FTW :D

windows vista "The User Profile Service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded" problem

just now i had a friend who came to me with a windows vista problem (well, vista itself is a problem to me lol)

when he tries to log on into his vista, an error which says "The User Profile Service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded"

a quick googling brought me here.

following the guide, i opened up regedit, change the current user's registry folder's name, and use the bakup registry folder instead. well at least this method works for my situation. if this method doest fix yours, try following alternative solution given on the provided link :)

fedora yum with proxy

as stated in my previous post, i'm using a limited connection. yeah it sucks but recently it became suckier (lol). the it department that handles the internet connection decided to close port 443 for default internet connection. n they ask us to use proxy for internet use.

with port 443 blocked, i couldn't yum install anything. at first i downloaded any required packages manually. but when i have to download every dependency manually, it really starts to bother me. so i searched on how to yum using proxy

my googling result leads me here

...which really makes me feel disappointed at myself for not googling this prob 1st. the workaround for my problem was just to edit /etc/yum.conf and add proxy=http://(proxy server address)

and just like that my problem was solved.

*sigh* T_T

foolish deface

taken from security.org.my

ok, korang nak tunjok pawa, leh deface, fine. but please, we as muslims do not attack others without immediate attack on us. yeah there's war on muslims everywhere, but we NEVER declare war on others, let alone claiming to kill other people regardless of their religion. to think kelantan people have strong sense of religion, you should know this better then, right?

pls dont ever bring bad name to us mulims, bace balik definition agama kita. :)

split and join files on MAC

on mac, there's split command - to split large files into smaller chunks. and why do i even want to split my files into smaller pieces you say? take my situation for example, i want to download a large file using a quite limited internet connection, so i split the file into smaller pieces to ease my download process. well you never know the reasons you might use this command but for me its quite handy :D

well for my situation, i'm downloading a 1.65 gb file and would like to split it into 10mb pieces. i open up a shell and just cd into the file's directory and

$ split -b10m filename

where split is the program, -b is to specify the size of the pieces (i'm using 10m to specify it to split into 10mb) and filename is the name of the filename that you want to split

after executing the commands, you will get lots of 10mb files with names starting with 'x' and followed by 'aa', 'ab', 'ac' and so on. it would look more like 'xaa' 'xab' 'xac' 'xad'. each file will have a maximum of 10mb size

so when i have finished downloading all the files, and i want to combine back all the pieces into its original file, i just simply use the cat command

$ cat x* > filename

after executing the command, i get my original file and a quick md5sum tells me that the file is not corrupted at all :)

Fedora 12 remove VMware-Player 3.0

finally i'm on fedora again and after quite some time of leaving the blog alone, i have decided to post on how to remove vmware player 3.0 on fedora 12 (gave me quite the trouble)

VMware-Player 3.0 installer from their website comes with a .bundle file as an installer for linux distros, a simple chmod +x file.bundle and sudo ./file.bundle will install

well, in my situation, installation process is messed up thanx to selinux (grr) so i decided to remove the package itself, at first i tried sudo yum remove VMware-Player as that was the command to remove vmware player 2.5.2 but 3.0 does not remove that way

i tried running the .bundle file again..but sadly it just displays that vmware is installed properly

after some time googling, i nearly gave up.

trying my luck, i looked around vmware's command and there's a vmware-uninstall command (damn)

when i run the command.

$ sudo vmware-uninstall

You have gotten this message because you are either downgrading VMware

Workstation, Player, or VIX, or because you attempted to run either

vmware-uninstall or vmware-uninstall-vix.

If you are downgrading, please uninstall all newer versions first, then

install again.

The vmware-uninstall* scripts have been deprecated. Instead, please use

the vmware-installer.

Long form:

vmware-installer --uninstall-product PRODUCT

Short form:

vmware-installer -u PRODUCT

Where PRODUCT is one of vmware-workstation, vmware-player, or vmware-vix.

For a list of which products are installed, you may run:

vmware-installer --list-products

or:

vmware-installer -l

so..i removed vmware-player by using sudo vmware-installer --uninstall-product vmware-player

...yeah, just as simple as that.. *sigh*

note to self : do disable selinux using easylife package before trying to install vmware again
