I really am that’s why I changed my blog’s layout! So instead of using the default theme, I decided to modify it a bit. Most people would probably say, damn this blog is boring to look at! There’s no flashy animations or whatever. Well all I have to say is for me…less is more. Oh and one more thing, did you notice I like big typography? I think that minimalism + big typography make great partners except that they’re hard to execute properly.

I Am A Minimalist And I’m Loving Every Moment Of It
Sunday, October 26th, 2008Mozilla’s Minefield: The Bugatti Veyron Of Web Browsers
Friday, October 24th, 2008So I was just browsing web pages and somehow I ended up landing on Mozilla’s Minefield Start Page. Mozilla’s the same folks that brought us Firefox – You know The web browser that has it all.
So…what’s Mozilla Minefield?
We R Azn
Tuesday, October 21st, 2008I just bought werazn.com and it will be my first website outside of joinpgn.com (Gaming Community). Right now I still haven’t thought of what I should do with it. I’m planning on starting another web portal but instead of a gaming community it’ll be about Asians. Hopefully it takes off just fine, I’m kinda nervous about it but whatever, joinpgn.com in my opinion is mature enough that I can stay back and let my volunteers handle it (Special thanks to you guys, you rock).
Well that’s it for now, I don’t have anything on my mind yet…just letting you guys know. It’s more like a shameless plug from yours truly.
Bookmark it! werazn.com do it!
The Drama Is Over
Saturday, October 18th, 2008Aah finally, everything’s back to normal again in PGN. I really hate it when people tend to just rush their decisions without actually thinking what will happen next or what will the effects be after. I thought it was going to be chaotic again, good thing I didn’t publicly intercede.
Future Happy Camper
Friday, October 17th, 2008So I’ve finally sent the Q9650 to Centauri Communication’s headquarters and I’ve send Josh some money to buy another 4GB (2x2GB) module for the dedicated server. The only thing I have to do now is wait and hope that everything goes well.
I’m pretty sure the motherboard which is an Intel DQ35JO Micro ATX would accept the Q9650 without a hitch. It’s been verified by Intel’s compatibility tool to work with all versions of the motherboard. Josh told me that I still have 2 extra memory slots so that 4GB (2x2GB) would also be a GO for me. I’ve verified all of this information too using lshw. It is a small tool to extract detailed information about the hardware that you have.
All in all, I have a beastly dedicated server. Go me.
Webmin Error: Perl module Authen::PAM needed for PAM is not installed
Monday, October 13th, 2008If you guys are getting this error on your Webmin log file /var/webmin/miniserv.error here’s how I solved the problem.
miniserv.pl started
Perl module Authen::PAM needed for PAM is not installed : Can't locate Authen/PAM.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/libexec/webmin /usr/lib64/perl5/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0 /usr/local/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at (eval 10) line 1.

Workstation October 11, 2008
Saturday, October 11th, 2008Just wanted to post this for archiving. Here’s my current workstation setup and yes, it still has the same specs as before and I’m just waiting for the new generation of CPUs.
Display GNU/Linux & Unix Uptime Command In PHP
Saturday, October 11th, 2008I was looking for a solution on how to display the /usr/bin/uptime command in PHP and I came across this simple yet very useful script for me since sometimes I don’t want to login or anything.
So to display your box’s uptime just create a file called uptime.php or whatever you want to call it. And then paste the following code.
<?php
$uptime = passthru ("/usr/bin/uptime");
echo "$uptime";
?>Take note that this has no formatting whatsoever, so that’s all up to you if you want to use a style sheet or not.
If you can’t see the uptime command being displayed make sure that passthru is not in your disable_functions in your php.ini file (Thanks to Luis ‘SquarePants’ Valecillos for pointing this out).
Q9650 It Is
Friday, October 10th, 2008I have decided to just buy a Q9650 for the dedicated server and probably 2 more sticks of 2GB DDR2 ram making my dedicated server one ‘Kick Ass’ dedicated server! I can’t wait! I’ll probably wait until around thanksgiving to buy all this, hopefully the prices will go down since Intel’s new i7 is just around the corner.
Grades Are Going Down
Thursday, October 9th, 2008This is not good and I can feel my manic depression kicking in and it’s not on being overly high, it’s being overly low…since it’s Fall, every ‘ber’ month I get depressed no matter what the situation is. I can feel it and I can see my grades falling down. I’m going to ask my mother who is a Psychiatrist for help there is just no work around with it for me. I can’t control it and I can’t stop it. I just a couple of bad grades ever since September started and it’s not just C+ grades, they’re F – F is FAIL by the way. And here’s the thing that gets me confused wihch is why I need help. Do I need to distance myself from people or to actually interact more with them? I interact with a lot of people and sometimes they take away my attention too much. Bah, I’ll let the medicines take care of that work.
My HP Laptop After 1 Year
Friday, October 3rd, 2008Damn, this laptop’s a year old already and it’s still going strong for me. I mean it has been reformatted a couple of times already and has been sent back to HP for repairs. But damn, the whole case is sturdy as hell. I’ve been running Fedora on it for almost a year too (Yeah I still have the Vista DVD). Since I’m celebrating it’s one year of being abused by yours truly! I took pictures of it! Hahaha. Enjoy.
StoresOnline.com 90 Minute Event Review: Complete Bullshit
Wednesday, October 1st, 2008Stores Online sent me a letter of invitation to attend one of their 90 Minute Conferences that they have been doing all over the USA, Canada, and other countries. The topic was the benefits of selling items online and how easy it is to do it (With their help).
Disable Tapping Option In Synaptics On Fedora 9
Wednesday, October 1st, 2008If you have a laptop and you use the touchpad a lot then you know that if you have a heavy hand then the tapping option being enabled now (After the YUM update) is a huge pain in the ass. I absolutely hate it, I loved it when it was broken on a fresh install of Fedora 9 but now that it’s fixed after the latest YUM update it is again ‘trying’ to bug me. Good thing I know how to turn it off.
