Xmas Getaway 09 Day 1 - Cowboy Town

Cowboy Town was pretty much like Sovereign Hill (Australia) type of concept where they model a town like the good old west days. The only difference being that Sovereign Hill WAS a real old west town and A'Famosa was never. In any case, we were hungry as a pack of wolves. WE managed to get our tickets and without hesitation, I took the bundle with the set dinner. It target to start at 6pm, but we managed to get in early, although the restaurant was not open that early. We walked around and found the souvenir shop where we can buy cheap biscuits and snacks. That kept us going for the time being. In fact, we also found a Charity booth selling the same exact biscuit and snacks, packaged into RM5 packets. It was in fact cheaper and we bought a few. But we did not finished them and some of that came back with us back home.

Because we were early, we managed to get the ticket to enter the 4D cinema early as well. Our show was about the undersea and it start early at 6:10 with only 2 person inside. Ya, we sorta have the whole cinema to ourselves. I guess maybe other people preferred the other Office Haunting show. In any case, what is 4D? Yes, its the sense of touch. There are water spray and air blowing etc throughout the 15 minutes show. I recalled having attended one such in Sentosa, but its crazy expensive. While this is cheap and pretty good, we are happy because it is something that really kick start our vacation nice. Ya, I know, maybe I should have proposed under this environment. Its not like anyone can get a chance to "reserve" the whole 4D cinema everyday, but Jane was kinda freaky when the water spray and the chair moved and rocked a bit.

After the ride, we saw a long queue outside and was glad we had got it over. We headed straight for dinner. We basically have 3 choices, which I do not remember, but I chose Fish and Chips where Jane had Chicken Chop. Because the staff were not really the restaurant staff (they were only here to help out), service was not that fantastic. But its not poor. Just a bit slow etc. The dinner was not bad, although my Fish and Chips can be greatly improved. We even order the soup which we needed to pay since it was not included. The soup was great.

When we exited the restaurant, it had began to rain. The game booth and rides are already suffering much from the rain. There is one interesting booth though. One which you get to photograph yourself with a Tiger. Fortunately, the Tiger was under the shelter. Lucky him. But not so great for the mini ponies. They had to stand in the rain. But I guess, its part of their nature, there shouldn't be anything to worry about.

Since we had a free play at the game, we went ahead and of course scored nothing much. In any case, its just for fun. The game are old and so were the prizes. I think maybe its good we did not win anything anyway. We continue to walk about and eventually found ourselves back at the souvenir shop. The queue to enter the carnival has started and we were lucky to be able to squeeze in. But the time we got in the rain had stopped, but the floor is wet. We just have to wipe it a bit and wait until its time.

To be honest, the biggest thing for Cowboy Town is the Carnival. There are fire breathing Indians, cute and majestic animals and of course the finale fireworks. The first part mainly consists of the Red Indian performers doing fire tricks. I had rarely seen one of these, so it is pretty fun. During the show, the staff where getting their animals into the crowd to take photo together. They will put chimps on your shoulder and snake around you. Basically you get the idea. There were lots of screaming and jumping off your seats. Pretty interesting. There were a few visitors (I believe from Eastern Europe) and they will really have lot of fun (perhaps a bit too much...). In any case, their shouting and cheering is all over my video. Well, can blame others for having fun, can you?

There were food again in between the shows and naturally we bought again. I do not even remember what we bought, except for the corn, which was no as good as magic corn anyway. After the break, the animals and other features characters starts their parade and it was fun and enjoyable. The best was perhaps the elephants I guess. It is really rare to see the animals having so much fun. At least it seems to be. They were dancing to the music and walking down the road.
To top all these, there is the Firework finale. I had not seen a real firework before, so this was a real eye opener for me. With the beautiful firework just over your head and the gun powder smell in the air. This is something I cannot describe in words. You got to be there to know what I mean. The firework may seems brief, but it was really beautiful. In fact much more beautiful then some of the national day's one.

After the firework, we did not wait for the bus. We simply have a stroll back to our condo in the pale moonlight. It did not take too long for us for fall asleep.

And that is only Day 1!

Xmas Getaway 09 Day 1 - The Journey to A'Famosa

So, this is finally the day. I woke up early, hoping this will all be a smooth ride, despite the last minute planning. Work, yes that's one thing I was running as hell away from. There has been some very unhappy and disturbing argument which had confirmed my direction towards resigning in the past 2 days and after knowing all that how it will end, I guess I simply do not care anymore. Work, stay here and die here. I am on vacation.

Jane drop by early, well, not too early, but nevertheless early by our normal standard. She has to change luggage bag due to the amount she is bringing and also we had extended the vacation to 5 days. So, we were suppose to be at the Bus station at Malay Village at 7:30 and we reach at about 7:45 actually. It started to rain and we were in time to board the bus to Malacca.

I hadn't been to Malacca for a long long time. So much so that how the bus trip goes and where it ends is rather new to me. It no longer stops at the riverside bus station. In fact, there is a new multi million Malacca Sentral which holds all the bus and taxi now. Before we reach there, there is a small stop over and we had some simple food because we did not manage to catch anything in the morning. The noodles was not great, but its as good as we can get now. Jane also bought a cup of sweeten corn, but we failed to realized that the corn need to be stirred, so in the end, we had non-sweeten corn for the first half and VERY sweeten corn for the 2nd half. The corn was good however. I think it even has a website, going by magic corn or something. Oh, ya, this is the one:
http://www.magiccorn.com/
We stopped by the small grocery stop to buy food stuff, which wasn't great since I can tell the flow here is not great. The food is not expired, but close and they even have magazine for 2008 around. But little did I know the big packet of Mamee noodle I bought here is a blessing in disguise.

In any case, we reach after a 4 hour ride. I was suppose to do something VERY important straight away. Because this was a 100% self plan DIY trip, tickets, hotels etc has to be settled. But as soon as I got out, I did not even remember this. Jane failed to remind me too. A friend cab driver came along and I check about the trip to A'Famosa Resort. So, before I knew it, I was on the cab to the resort, without the bus ticket for the trip from Malacca to KL 2 days later.

The cab ride was not so great because the air-con was not quite working. Although the trip cost RM60. but I guess there is no other way around it. Search up and down in google, all that turns out was "34 from Tai Lye Bus Service" was not exactly helpful or reassuring. A'Famosa is a long way from Malacca Sentral. In fact, its about 45 mins ride. I tried to find out a bit about the transport and managed to get the information that there is almost a hourly bus trip to KL from Malacca Sentral. That is a relief. The cab driver pass me his card and mentioned he could get us to KL straight from A'Famosa for RM200. Although we told him we will think about it, we knew we won't. Its not the cost, but rather the cab ride was a lot worse than the bus trip. We finally arrived at A'famosa and fortunately, I managed to remember to check in to the Condo instead of the villa, which is also not that close if you walk.

We are staying in the D'Savoy Condo. It doesn't look like anything on the website or brochure. It is rather old and stuff. In any case, I just hope everything can go smoothly. So, we got our keys and up we go. Just as I expected (and also based on info on the web), some things were not so great about this Condo. The first thing we found out was:

1. The phone is not working. So room services or any help is out of reach.
2. The toilet keeps flushing. Not that I care a lot about water bills or the environment, it is also noisy and I do not think its a great fun sleeping with this.

We down we go again to the info counter across our block to the reception on the ground floor. They mention they will send someone to fix the toilet. But as for the phone, its not working and its a know issue. They gave me a local handphone number to call, but I am hoping I do not need to do that. So, up we go again. It's already 13:30 and we had no food. Luckily we had some snacks like the Mamee Noodle we bought earlier. That kinda save us from dying from starvation immediately. We waited for a while and eventually gave up. We went down, not with our luggage, but hoping they can change our room in any case. And there the plumber was on the ground floor. So up we went again. But I still want to give credit to the plumber. He got it fix within 15 minutes. In any case, by the time this was settled, its about 4pm and we rest up and took a short walk to Cowboy Town.

Team GEN

There is some optional task you may want to do first before you upgrade.

• Backup your whole PSP Memstick (Games and Savegame being hte MOST important)
• Disable all the plugins. Hold R and boot up. (I have CWCheat mainly, but I did not disable. It works for me.)
• Charge your battery to >78% or plug in the power cord. (Ya, I know the USB charge also works, but highly not advisible)

To begin this upgrade, I suggest you go all the way to 5.00 M33-6 first. If you are lost, check out my previous posts. From there, you are in good to go. Get the following file.

Download:
http://www.mediafire.com/?3i4yyiq4zkx

Extract it to the root of your PSP Memory Stick. Make sure its ALL. The 550 file in the root is VERY important.
Boot your PSP and run the updater. The rest is just following instructions.
Make sure you reboot at the end of the upgrade.

Fake Flash Drive from eBay

Recently, I had been seeing something too good to be true. 16GB for less than USD$1!!! Yes, anything thats too good to be true, probably is not. It seems that international scammers (mainly from HK/China though) is basically using some hack to change the flash drive FAT table to make it look as if it is really that big where in fact it is only really 1 or 2 GB of real capacity.

There is this article that explain a simple way to test it:
http://www.ehow.com/how_5889132_test-fake-usb-flash-drive.html

Or back to the good old days, you can simply delete the partition table and recreate, it will show its true form.

DNS VU#800113 Test

I know this is old news. But with regard to the famous US-CERT VU#800113 or better known to be associated with Dan Kaminsky DNS hack, there is a good website to check if your DNS is vulnerable. The website is available at:

https://www.dns-oarc.net/oarc/services/dnsentropy

But, what if your DNS is already hacked, doesn't the above request bring to you to somewhere else? If it possible. So therefore, from a trust source, here is the IP address to access the test:

http://149.20.3.33/test/

Which OS are you still using now
	Windows XP
	Windows XP 64bits
	Windows Vista
	Windows Vista 64bits
	Windows 7
	Windows 7 64bits
	Mac OS
	Linux, Unix, FreeBSD, etc.

Appscan 7.9 tracking cookie with dynamic name Advance Option

I would urge everyone who is thinking of upgrading Appscan from 7.8x to 7.9 to take note of this. Some of the new "Advance Option" is set at the per user level rather than per scan level. This means the changes is going into the registry.
One of the interesting one which has some discussions recently involves tracking cookies with dynamic names. While the option can be accessed and changed in the existing scan file, there is no real way to put it into effect until you do a re-scan which effectively means a re-do.

The cause is the fact that Advanced Options are per-user and not per-scan. The pattern is stored in the Windows Registry.
Once a scan is started, the pattern that you use is saved in the scan file itself. This is so the scan can be migrated to another computer, where the "Advance Option" might be set to something else in that user's registry. This enables scanning on one machine then retesting from another.

Since AppScan 7.9 the option is stored in the Scan Template file, however it is not accessible via the UI.
You can manually change the pattern if required. You should, however, keep the original pattern and only add to it (it is a regular expression). Otherwise, AppScan will not know to handle existing cookies already found in the scan.

To do this for the scan template follow these steps:
1) Load you original scan file.
2) From the Scan Configuration screen, select "Export as Template"
3) Open the .scant file (XML) and search for "CookiesGroupingPattern". Should be something like this:
(ASPSESSIONIDa-zA-Z0-9{8})
4) Change the pattern as you would like:
(ASPSESSIONIDa-zA-Z0-9{8})*|^mycookiesa{1,3}b{1,3}$*
(The example finds only cookies that start with "mycookies" and have 1 to 3 a's followed by 1 to 3 b's)
5) Create a new scan based on the changed template. You can migrate the template to another machine, regardless of the pattern defined for that user.

Hint: You can change it in an existing scan file, but it is much more complicated and would probably require help from support.

Nmap : Failed to open device

This is just to ensure I logged this for future reference.

Recently, one of my college has a problem with nmap. Whenever she runs it, she gets the "failed to open device eth0" error. I had tried to execute nmap in administrator mode and removed all other devices (wireless etc) but the problem persist.

In the end, I figured that this is probably related to Winpcap. What you actually need to do is to get the latest Winpcap from http://www.winpcap.org to install and overwrite the existing one. Of course, this should follow by a reboot and the problem should be solved.

The current version of Winpcap which managed to solve this issue today is v4.1.1.

New Beta of CWCheat V0.2.3

There seems to be a new beta on the site, which is not linked by the main page. You can get hold of it via the New Download Section and selecting the new version.

The change log:
- rebuilt with latest toolchain
- updated db to latest version in the site
- there is an cheat refresh hz functionality but i coded it one year ago so i\\\'m unsure if it works and how it works right now
- consider this an untested beta

I had put up a special PSP Lite version here as usual. Please modify the following files:

• game.txt
• game150.txt
• pops.txt

by appending the line to your PSP if you have other plugins.

Also, as usual, I had modified the package by providing the latest cheat DB from:

http://cheats.gbatemp.net/PSP/

which includes cheats for the following games:

Farewell, Hino

Hino (Nov 2007 - 04/01/2010)

He is still playing with his wheel (which he has not played for a long long time...At least we got to play and say goodbye for one last night before he passed away silently in the night...
I will always remember you Hino. This also happen to be the same day Chuchu passed away...

I will always remember you both.

Monster identity problem

Monster.com, the famous jobseeker website, recently has a strange problem. Whenever I am logged in, I am called by different names. This is illustrated in the diagram below. Note the black boxes, obviously, I am 2 different person at the same time to Monster.

While I do not find any other things weird, or was able to access any other information except mine, I find this to be still disturbing. I had emailed Monster concerning the above issue.

TVB電視劇 宮心計 片尾曲 風車 ~ 佘詩曼

紅風車 轉一轉吧 福來我家
求豐收 雨點降下 花兒別怕
紅花開 笑一笑吧 福來我家
雲飄飄 聽風說話 娃兒別怕

月缺月滿順時 下雨下雪聽天
念卦像風箏不見面 有著線牽
紅風車 轉一轉吧 福來我家
如分開 雨點降下 娃兒別怕

路近路遠未明 念挂著我看星
願帶著你路 風似靜 變幻看清
紅風車 轉一轉吧 福來我家
如分開 雨點降下 娃兒別怕

爹娘念挂
紅風車 轉一轉吧 福來我家
如分開 雨點降下 娃兒別怕

宫心计 主题曲 ~ 关菊英

誓约，历遍世间转化
善恶，未报最终需要代价
平步震惊天下
绸缎如镜，玉砌似画
眉目如雪，未染细沙
请你留下
若抱住，别做梦，未得宠
看到的，听到的，不要信
遗憾是，闭起眼时
至望到世间多少暗涌
爱得深，说得真，别感动
再锥心，再刻骨，不觉痛
无奈是两手相拥
也是觉得冰冻
誓约，在美境中火化
直到，玉砌最终都变败瓦
回望那天初夏
良善如昨貌美似花
人事常变泪会结疤
景致如画
若抱住，别做梦，未得宠
看到的，听到的，不要信
遗憾是，闭起眼时
至望到世间多少暗涌
爱得深，说得真，别感动
再锥心，再刻骨，不觉痛
曾极恨也可相拥
往事如尘像风

1. Canned Tomatoes
2. Corn-Fed Beef
3. Microwave Popcorn
4. Nonorganic Potatoes
5. Farmed Salmon
6. Milk Produced with Artificial Hormones
7. Conventional Apples

Sorry, your Earth has expired in 2050...

This is not another hoo-haa from the 2012 movie, but a pretty real life situation. Earth can expire in 2050 if this path continues.

As reported by WWF:
http://www.thedailystar.net/newDesign/news-details.php?nid=117206

The World Wildlife Fund claims that the Earth will become uninhabitable by 2050. Our planet has been badly abused, and it has been dying a slow death. The Earth will face extinction in roughly forty years, which is sooner than a child born today enters midlife crisis.

So, the news is bleak for those who are working hard to build the future of their children, and for all those ambitious people who have grandiose plans for their future. Why bother about interior decoration if the house is burning? There may not be any future left in the future. The Earth is dying.

Signs are there in escalating global warming. There has been drastic reduction in rainfall. Rivers are shrinking. Satellite photos show Greenland ice sheets in full-fledged meltdown. A large portion of Bangladesh is likely to go under water. In US much of Manhattan and eastern shore of Maryland could be washed into the Atlantic Ocean. Pacific island nations will be blotted out. Hurricanes will ravage the Earth. Rising sea levels and severe droughts will destroy crops. Widespread famine will wreak havoc with starvation and death.

Read more from the link above. But I would like to quote the following:

"Between December 7 and 18, Copenhagen turns into "Hopenhagen" to host the Climate Conference. This could be humanity's last hope to achieve a turning point to cope with climate change. Scientists argue if man and dinosaur ever existed together. But we know why they didn't perish together. The dinosaurs couldn't cope with the Earth. The Earth couldn't cope with us."

What's new in WHS PP3

Here is the list of What's New in PP3 for Windows Home Server.

Windows 7 Libraries integration

When you install the Windows Home Server Connector and log on a computer running Windows 7, you can access the Windows Home Server shared folders from the Windows 7 libraries.

Windows 7 Action Center backup warning suppression

After you install the Windows Home Server Connector to enable the home server backup for your computer running Windows 7, you can suppress the Action Center warning reminding you that Windows Backup has not been set up.

Windows 7 power settings

You can configure your computer running Windows 7 to wake up at a scheduled backup time and then go back to sleep after the backup finishes.

Console support for Windows 7

Windows 7 is properly displayed as the operating system shown in the Computers & Backup tab.

What happened in WHS PP3

As mentioned, PP3 was rolled out on 24 Nov 2009. I had it upgraded ASAP and reboot my Windows Home Server. Although, I did not witness the reboot myself, everything seems normal. Well, that is until I try to connect to it.

Remote Desktop - Does Not Work.
WHS Connector - Does Not Work.
Ping - OK.
Website - OK.

Strange. I have to plug in to my TV and keyboard to troubleshoot. I saw a strange message about WHS Log being full. I did a quick check on my space and I notice there is plenty. I suppose it is the log limit that was set. In any case, I did another reboot.

After the reboot, the log message is still there, but everything else works. Looks like I needed to reboot it twice. I did the recommened steps to go in, backup the logs and clear it and hopefully, the log message will not appear soon again.

After PP3, I notice the backup with my Windows 7 machine is more stable. I had less failure anyway.

Edit : Oh yeah, one more thing I forget to mention. You will need to upgrade all your WHS connector software on your desktops, laptops etc. If you are using a firewall, that has to be updated to the new binaries as well if your firewall is a application binary specific one such as OneCare.
