Veoh is no longer in Malaysia!!



I'm not sure since when they started to block IP from .MY ? Owh well it creates some unpleasent aura among us. Therefore oh dear what to do?
According to google hack it's possible to use google lang translator as our proxy? The basic format should be:

http://www.google.com/translate?langpair=fr|en&u=www.forbiddensite.com

Since English to English are not supported anymore we change it to fr|en of watever other language available.

http://www.google.com/translate?langpair=fr|en&u=www.forbiddensite.com

Let's find a veoh url using google eg; veoh shipuden and it give

www.veoh.com/videos/v1587236emrKRgp7

so the link should be

http://www.google.com/translate?langpair=fr|en&u=www.veoh.com/videos/v1587236emrKRgp7

The frame is annoying removing it will reveal

http://209.85.171.104/translate_c?hl=en&langpair=fr%7Cen&u=http://www.veoh.com/videos/v1587236emrKRgp7

Does it work..?


Well it did load the site.. and I`m stuck at there can someone enlighten me what to do next?

Project Aon: Lonewolf Game


Recently, I`m addicted to Text based RPG game like Torncity It's possible due to stress of life and finding a way to escape from the brick of reality we are facing today.(In simple word stress). D&D sets are way too expensive nowdays,

Playing game like this brings back the memory of my early childhoods days. When an uncle of mine finish his studies in UK, he gives me these adventure/game book called Lone Wolf which is pretty cool. I love the way the game is constructed. The degree of creativity and imagination of the author should be given some credits.

And I'm so happy when i stumble upon Project Aon which aims to publish the books in html formats for free under Project Aon license. Since it's in HTML using pen and paper might not work out anymore . Therefore LoneWolf Action Chart Program keeps all your track in the game which is pretty cool.



The action chart is released under GPL which is good!

Firefox : The next Guinness World Record ?

I just check out my mail and got this mail from Firefox Missionary squads. Attempting on creating records for "most downloaded software in 24 hours" . Well we all love it, use it, hack it. So why not give them some supports?

Fedora 9 Sulphur: Rocks but..

I`ve been running sulphur for quite sometimes (since my shoes are made from rawhide). But it didn't stop me from downloading the Official ISO from Fedora Project site. Have tried it on my old clanky Ati Mobile Radeon x200 laptops. As Kagesenshi mentioned,it looks quite haphazard and ugly, hopefully ATI and NVidia will catch up fast !! Since the X looks quite terrible that i don't even have the guts to paste a screenshot!!

Until the xorg drivers issue resolves, i won't update my xorg yet.

P/S: Tawel Sensei? Fedora 9 comes only in KDE? I think you must have downloaded the Fedora KDE Live media instead of Fedora Desktop Live Media.

Fedora 9 Sneak peak

Jesse Keating talks about Fedora 9 sneak peak and Fedora distribution Toolbox box at LFNW (Linux Fes NorthWest) . It's pretty much interesting if you like to have a view first on how Fedora 9 differs from previous and all the mighty tools that Fedora have used (example, MirrorManage, Koji, Bodhi,)

Fun with Pidgin



Pidgin (formerly known as Gaim) is an Instant Messenger software that comes bundle by default on most binary based Linux Distrubtion these days. The interface is clean and simple. It supports many IM protocols (MSN, Yahoo, Gtalk, Jabber, and also sametime( I think the IBM guys use this protocol).

However most of us doesn't utilize it to the max so here I am sharing some infos what so cool about pidgin.

1. One name for all

Let say Joe have gmail,aim,msn,and yahoo accounts. It`s quite hasssle to view in which account Joe is online. We can group all Joes account under One Joe's nickname. How to do it Right click at one of Joe's and select Expend. Now drag all Joes account and put underneath the one you have expended. This is nice.

2. OTR (Off the Record) Plugin.

Say you like to have some private conversation with someone regarding serious issues. Warfare, politics conspiracy , drug dealing (just a few example), you might wan to have an authentication chatting to ensure the conversation is really just between you and the dealer. It's just a tick away inside the Pidgin Plugin.

3. A Reminder

So you are the boss and you would like to remind your workers to do their job each time they log into their IM. Right click at their name and add Buddy Pounce.

4. Text Replacement

This is a cool plugins for those who prefer fast and quick typing. You can define your own short form and it will automatically replace it with the words that you wish to.

5. Last but not least Psychic Mode

What does this nice plugin do? This plugin will informs you that somebody is typing something g to you even before the sentence are constructed properly. If you are fast enough , you can say "What are you trying to say doc?" And yeah , the reaction never fails to entertain me.


viva la pidgin. There are others plugins but i don't think it's useful in a working enviroment.
