PHP Meet Up
Malaysia PHP User Group 2nd meet up held tonight. Well, thank for Mohan and Suthen from Asix Solutions present on Profiling PHP using Xdebug and APD. Tools to track loading time of your PHP script and fine tune your application loading time.

Amran from php.net.my turned up tonight, we have the idea to merge both of the group. If possible, myoss in the group as well, so we become Malaysian Open Source group? If the group help the community, why not right? by that time, we need a hall to held the meet up 🙂

Unix FreeBSD with Windows Application
Stop bloging for few weeks, work on some freelance project and research on running Photoshop and Flash MX on unix FreeBSD using WINE/Crossover Office. I always think to run Unix on my laptop, it will help me a lot on apache programming and PHP development, so doesn’t need to SSH to server and do development. It require INTERNET all the time. Running Apache & PHP in windows is limited, you can really play arround with it. I have the problem if running unix, I CAN’T photoshop and Flash MX anymore. WINE/CrossOver Office only support Photoshop 7.0, just found out the emulator today. still need more time to experiment on it!

Well, if you have better emulator to use, please do drop in an email to me paul@takizo.com. Thank!

Takizo Technology?
Heh, Mohan asked me what does TAKIZO mean. First, What is Takizo Technology? Takizo Technology is a company name to run my freelancing business, Takizo Technology established since year July, 2003.

What does Takizo mean? Well, I use the nickname Takizo since year 1997, from IRC to messenger, to email, to company, to membership name. Well takizo@hotmail.com, takizo@yahoo.com, takizo@gmail.com, takizo@mail.com and etc are own by me. Why I came out the name TAKIZO, please… Don’t ask me what is TAKIZO mean, I have no idea. But I will tell you how TAKIZO borned!

Back to year 1997, everybody love to watch Japanese drama, listen to Japanese song. Well, I love the band Lunar Sea, especially their God, Give Me More Time theme song – “All For You”, the guitarist Sugizo rocks! Back to Internet, I hate thinking of the username with registering new membership, paulooi/paul are always taken by somebody, so need to have paul123, paul83, paul05, paulxxx… Sick to think of it, and every membership account in different site have different member name. I am so sick to think of the member name. So why not “centralize” it, so I start to think of a nick name. So, a very quick brainstorm,
TA – stand for japanese/taiwan actor, TAkashi Kaneshiro
KI – stand for japanese actor, Kimura Takuya
ZO – stand for Lunar Sea guitarist, Sugizo

That’s it. TAKIZO BORN in year 1997 🙂

Gosh…… Finally I got my laptop adapter RM115, new server motherboard RM400, new RAID Card RM300, new 120GB x 2 HDD RM700. What a bad week for me, took 3 days to make my wallet empty! Now is only early of the month….

But, it’s glad everything is on track now. Got to work hard and earn back the losses. Good experience on data recovery and hardware RAID. I got invest on a intermediate level – kind of RAID card, to cut down recovery time. In case there is HDD burnt again.

Basicaly, I wish weekend coming soon. Then I can rest and work on new server configuration. Probably will work on python programming next. There is an open source meet up tonight, the topics are FreeBSD Jail/Virtual Machine and Asterisk (PBX/VOIP open source). Beside that Ow is going to announce his “secret project” that I work with him. Everybody are welcome!

This is a really bad news for me, called from HP and they said my laptop adapter can’t replace, why? it’s because my wire seem like biten or cut off by something. Beside that, my server always hang recently. Today I have to bring back from data center check out what problem is happening.

Holly shit. My laptop adapter gone, unable to online now. I have to go office often to borrow adapter from my colleague and get my laptop charge! Why a bad bad bad week for me.

Look! Malaysian – Beware of China People in Malaysia. Ah, damn… sad story, this is another morale of the story. Read it on. Today, after finished lunch with my fellow colleague, I am heading to take ERL to Kuala Lumpur International Airport. I’m about… let me count, I think is 10 foot step, will reach the counter and buy the ERL ticket. Suddently, there is one girl(UNKNOWN) stop me, the language slang from her mouth — Ya, China Girl.

Story goes here, she told me that she is short of cash and need money to fly back to Shang Hai, China. She shown me her passport, china identification card, company name card, fligh tickets to Hong Kong. The story is damn perfect, she told me money is finish using and her credit card already reach the limit. Beside that, she needs some cash from Hong Kong go to Shang Hai, and continue bla bla bla. Finally, the point is here, she wants to borrow RM150 from and she said will TT the money to me when she reach Shang Hai. She get my phone no, name card and everthing which she needs.

At first, of course I don’t believe. Then … “Da Ta!” Her mum show up, a very old woman, which is grandma type. Come to me and said “Young man, we need your help, we are really out of cash and hope you can give us a hand and allow us safely go back our homeland. haih, I am such a good person, the grandma explain til so…… ….. ….. then i take out RM150 and borrow them. Grandma said, once they arrive Shang Hai will give me a call. Let me know they arrive there safely and TT the money to me.

Ok, money on their hand, I am rushing to the ERL. While I am in the ERL, I took out the name card and find out what’s her email address, was thinking to send an email to her and remind her to return RM150 to me. OH MY GOD! FUCK, what the hell. Her email address zhangli@asia.com! Wow, ASIA.com can you believe she works with ASIA.com? I start to suspect is the domain available, since ASIA.com is not a _HOT_ domain everybody want. I made called to my colleague, ask them check is ASIA.com a recycling company(Her name card wrote that is a recycling company). Hahaha.. what is ASIA.COM? Check out your own, next I ask them to host the domain name see wether got MX mail server running or not. Yea, got, telnet to ASIA.COM port 110. Trying send an email to zhangli@asia.com — USER UNKNOWN. Oh…. now I know…. Paul Ooi got cons by one China Mama and China Daugther!

The morale of the story,
– Act you do not know Mandarin when you see China people
– Do not simply give money to people, no matter with old grandma or what
– Ask China people go China Embassy if they need help!

Suck, RM150 gone! Am now in KLIA terminal, AirAsia delay the flight again. This is the 6th times I took AirAsia, 4 out of 6 times I experience with the delayed flight. What to do.. so cheap.. Wait lo.

Safely arrive home, good landing.

Took half day leave today, 5pm flight back to Alor Setar for “Cheng Beng” tomorrow. Everything is prepared for Sunday server migration. Config file, new ip address, DNS zone config and etc, everything is done. Hope can cut down the downtime during the migration of the servers! Yes, my flight is Sunday morning, when arrive KL, first thing is go to Data Center and move servers =(

一个男人的品位在于选择妻子，选择了什么样的妻子就等于选择了什么样的人生。

大文豪莎士比亚一生写下了众多精彩的戏剧，但是他的婚姻观却没有任何浪漫色彩。因为他明悉婚姻道路的艰难，更了解生活会耗损爱情。

人活这一辈子，究竟有什么是我们必须要的？真正需要的就是良好的心态和闲适的心情。只有家庭和睦，心态健康的人，才具备闲适的条件。

比如娶一个好女人，就能赋予一个男人闲适的心情——
一个女人最重要的品质应该是善良，而且百善孝为先。

天下不知道有多少苦命的男人在受着自己的媳妇和自己亲妈之间的夹板气？
如果我是一个男人，要是将要成为我媳妇的女孩敢问我”我和你妈掉河里，你先救谁？” 我一准把她ｐａｓｓ掉，这根本就不是人话！
贤惠，这是亘古不变的女性美德。

拒绝灯红酒绿，不对异性过分热情。她有着良好的生活习惯，抽烟、饮酒、通宵达旦的宴饮狂欢都不会发生在她身上，她不会到酒吧、夜总会这样的地方消磨时间。 她知道自己的价值不是取悦异性，所以不会主动和别的男的搭讪，曲高和寡的才是阳春白雪。

天真有一点童趣。一个男人若是真的喜欢一个女人，就应该最大程度地呵护她的纯真。

未失童趣的女子，能让漫长枯燥的四目相对其乐无穷。

喜欢读书和音乐。喜欢读书不是看什么花花绿绿的时尚杂志、喜欢音乐也不是什么听过就忘的流行小曲。经典的书籍和音乐能让岁月与生活的琐碎无法在她的心灵上烙下痕迹。

工作能力强，有一技之长。工作中的女人显然没有太多时间疑神疑鬼。有一技之长会使她自得其乐，很好地控制情绪。

当然，长得绝对不能丑，也别太靓，应该是那种越看越顺眼的。
身体健康，并懂得养生之道和基本医学常识。

还有一点很重要，婚姻生活是一个有颜色、有生息、有动静的世界，很难想象一个不具备浪漫、不具备情趣的女人是个好妻子。

以上15条标准，应该齐了。拥有这样的女子，纵使太阳和星月都冷了，群山草木都衰尽了，婚姻的光芒还能在记忆的最初，在任何可见和不可知的角落，温暖的燃烧着……

当然，也有例外的，比如：她或她
