System Admin’s Weblog

Yeap..i finally got this working. Took me ..well..a lot of time…about 1 hour and a half..but it’s working. I even started configuring some routers in my config…and works beautiful. My advice?..umm..use a i386 version of linux…deb or rpm based, doesn’t matter, cause if u’ll use a x86_64 u’ll spend more than 1 hour and a half for just compiling them for that architecture ( i did…few days ago..when i was using a 64 bit version of ubuntu – now i changed to 32 bit version). Next advice: run it as root. If you don’t..you’ll have problems when dynagen is trying to decompress the image and creating its own files. So..root is another of my advice. Then…when i tried to telnet a router…well…nothing happened. You have 2 choices: 1. modify /etc/dynagen.ini to open a terminal session ( well..actually i couldn’t start gnome-terminal for the telnet command in dynagen, so i suggest the second choice ) 2. use the command “list” to see started routers and the port they’re using and then manually open a gnome/kde/whatever terminal and type “telnet localhost portnumber“. And…last advice. I first tried to use a 2611XM model. If you look in documentation on the internet you’ll see that 2600 series only works with uncompressed IOS. You will also find that using “unzip -p c2600.bin > c2600.image” you can uncompress the IOS and then use the image file, should work. Well..SHOULD work, but didn’t for me. Dynamips told me that couldn’t load the c2600.image file. I now use a compressed IOS (.bin file) of the 7200 series and works beautiful so i suggest the compressed c7200 bin file.

That’s all…hope it will work for you…if u have any comments, put a comment or something, maybe i can help you out..

Well..it’s been almost a week since my switch to open source and especially Compiz Fusion which is the best tweak a window manager can have. I’m happy with my decision so far. Nothing i could do in Windows that i can’t do in Ubuntu, so far…well..beside fifa08..but Ubuntu has some interesting game packages, so when i’ll be in the mood for gaming, i will explore the games they provide.

Last week i’ve been going to this job interview…and after the last one, i talked to the girl from the recruiting company and with the company that hired the recruiting company that i will have my final answer on friday. I was kinda disappointed to see they couldn’t keep their promise. And..keeping promises being the only reason for me to wanna leave my current company…well..they ..let’s say..don’t give me much to dream of….just the same old shit. Promises till they hire u..and the ignoring u till u decide to leave to another company. Yesterday i e-mailed the recruiting company telling them that not keeping simple promises it’s not a professional way to do business, and started looking for a new job on websites that are especially made for this. Anyway…in my current company i learned something: never trust anything u hear…trust only written things that you can see. So, next time i wanna get hired, i’ll make sure that everything we talk about, it will be on my contract, or…i’m not going to be working at that company. And this..i suggest to everyone who wanna get a decent job in Bucharest. MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING YOU TALK TO THE JOB INTERVIEW IS ON YOUR CONTRACT.

Ok…now i got my headphones on…with Puff Daddy screaming “It’s all about the benjamins”. Well..he’s right. And if not all, at least 95% of ..whatever IT means.

Well..about this weekend..yesteday we went to another city to take some…things and then got back home a lil late..it was around 7pm i guess. We watched some movies on TV and the …my gf went to sleep a lil earlier than me. I saw this serbian girl online last night..and we talked for like 15 mins…after that i went to sleep to. Today…we woke up with the idea of buying a new (and good) power source for my gf computer…got up at around 11am…at 12:10 we were at the store looking for that power source. And..being somewhere where u can find all this computer related things..and me loosing my USB memory stick again…made be buy another one. This time ..bigger as capacity but smaller in dimension. It’s a Kingmax of 4GB but…really really small size. Then we went to my parents cause i was hungry..but too lazy to cook…and was truth for the both of us…then went to my grandma..cause i bought some 100% natural orange juice for her…and then got home. Yesterday night the serbian girl was telling me she’s gonna go to a club where her husband is the DJ…i’m thinking of going to a club tonight…somewhere i can drink and listen to loud music..but not some house bullshit…i’m looking for some rock, hip-hop club to drink and listen to loud music. Hope i can found one in 2 hours…

When i first saw the movie below, i knew it was time to reformat my laptop and try this “compiz fusion” on my laptop. So i did. That day, when i first saw this, i moved everything i got on my laptop to my other linux samba server, and formatted it…and installed ubuntu 7.10. They said that compiz fusion is enabled by default in that OS. Bullshit…u have to install a few more packages for it to work, but u can find them easily on the internet, like i did.

So…it works perfectly…doesn’t consume so much processor and memory…actually..my memory usage is pretty low, around 20% or something..but it increases when i start using too many windows, applications and i transfer things through my network. Anyway…i’m proud of the change…hope i will be in a few months too.

Well…nothing new to talk about. I’m waiting for the final answer of a job application i had last week. I should get my answer by the end of this week. Some new equipments came for the company branches in south-eastern europe. I’m almost finished with configuring the main server for Macedonia. Some day soon…today or maybe tomorrow we’ll test the whole configuration of these servers…and then they will be ready to sent to that country. Unfortunately..i think i’ll be the one who has to go and make some final configurations to them.

ASTERISK (*) it’s a VOIP server that can run on a junk computer – only for home use and small business thing. But it’s free…it’s really really configurable in ways you can’t imagine. It’s just great. And now…i began reading about VoIP protocols and all that shit. I already made asterisk do some tricks…but i want to learn some basics before entering the core of asterisk. VoIP protocols…well IAX it’s native for the Asterisk PBX…but it also supports SIP and H.323.

Well…wikipedia seems to be a good place to start my documenting over this…

Super song…makes ur ass shake in 2008 as it did in 1993 or something..

Well…2 different things…but there are 2 things i wanna talk about here.

Well…the short thing first…Terminator series. This came into my mind cause i just finished watching Terminator 1 on TCM…So..why did the good people always sent an inferior (technologically speaking) robot/man to beat the bad robot? In Terminator 1 they sent a man to fight a robot. In Terminator 2 they sent a robot to fight a superior robot…and in the last Terminator 3…it’s the same thing..inferior GOOD robot fighting a superior BAD robot. So…they were stupid or what?…

Ok..done with terminator…now…online relationships?..what are the chances for success?..1 to 1.000.000? Today someone messaged me, was not on my list…it was a russian girl i was talking to…nothing special, ugly with beautiful body…And she reminded me about her boyfriend from Dominican Republic…So..we didn’t talk for ..like ..7-8 months now…at least that what she said…anyway…she told me she was in Dominican Republic…spent time with her dominican boyfriend and all that…and suddenly my mind was going to my online experiences…and i told her that not everybody meets the right people on the internet. After like…2 hours…another russian is starting to message me. That’s the one i really wanted to meet. Maria. Maria…who has this fear of being alone…who accepts being with her husband although she hates every day spent with him…who went to germany to meet this fucked up dude who she’s been talking online to…who …in a moment of my life was…the thing i wanted….or i could want it…i don’t know…Sometimes people can’t understand that u can’t “love” people online. I can’t…But was a time when i was addicted to her…to instant messaging with her…mobile messages…all that shit. After that…she got back to her husband…for the ..x time ..and we kinda stopped everything (all this ..keeping in mind that i was looking on yahoo travel for airplanes to Moskow). Now she expects to talk like nothing happened. Bullshit…Today i just reminded her what a slut she has been…or at least in my mind…and she stopped talking. That’s good…for now.

Another bullshit experience. A girl from Moldova. Started all this around …i don’t know…i think it was a year ago. Well..started talking online…started sending messages on our mobile phones…and..when we were close to meet, she went on “work and travel” shit in US. And we kept talking…she was in an apartment with a lot of people, but she managed to get online and talk to me….webcam, voice…all that shit. Then..after awhile..she disappears. For like a month..or maybe more…but not more than 2 months. Then..she reappears again. Telling me she met this dude…fucked him…and now he left and they keep calling each other and all that shit. Now really?..she can talk to me when she’s not having her mouth full of someone else’s cock…right. And then we started talking again. She was working a lot…talking not that much…but once a week at least. Well…she disappeared again for 2 months. And again…she was too busy sucking some jewish guy’s cock to talk to me. But guess what?…She started talking to me again. Why?..Cause he left in some vacation to his relatives and he doesn’t want them to meet her, of course. Why? Because he doesn’t want her…So, again…why is she talking to me again?…oh..that’s because he left and she got nothing to do…and no shoulder to cry on…and ..guess what?..on my shoulder says with capital letters “CRY HERE!”. Well..i don’t give a fuck about her anymore. Started not giving a fuck when she first told me about the first guy. Now, with this second jewish guy, this ends all that was between us…And i know that someday she’s gonna read all this shit i’m talking about now. So, for u to know, the only chance we had was before u got to US. And..a piece of advice….stop telling me who u fuck. I don’t care! I hate telling me who u fuck from the moment i felt something for u, although back them, u were still fucking that dude in your country. Well…i can’t tell u what to do, cause it’s your life…but i can tell myself what to do…and i’m telling myself that is time to forget u…

So…here they are..

So…new year is here…and it’s 2008. Ok…so…what have i done all these days…

After my last day of work…22nd december, i stayed home…drinking and fucking almost all day long. Ohh..and resting. So drinking, fucking and resting…and eating. That was all i done till 27th or 28th…then i found out about a house somewhere in the mountains where i had a room available for 3 nights at 150E. I thought it’s too much for me, so i talked to 2 more people to go together and share the same room in that house, so i should pay only 75E instead of 150E.

So, on 30th december, around 5pm i was there, in Breaza, together with the other 2. I begin with mounting my speakers in the living room (which was like 3 times bigger then my girlfriend’s bedroom) turned the music loud, and start drinking. After that we got hungry and start making some barbecue. After awhile the rest of the people living in the house came from shopping, and they started barbecue and shit…and then we all started drinking and eating..Well…till 1st january, we all acted like we were 2 different groups. The 4 of us – me, my girlfriend and the other 2 friends of ours, and the other group was the other people. After 1st january, things changed and we started acting like we’re all 1 group…or close to that. I will post some pics someday soon..when i’ll be in the mood for resizing the images and all that shit…Anyway…we came back home on 2nd january…tired as a muthafucka…i (actually we) slept at around 9 pm…till today morning.

And today…got up at around 7am….looked at a window…and sit still for like 5 minutes in front of it…just couldn’t belive what i was seeing. What i saw?..well..snow….lots of it….lots of lots of it…i couldn’t even recognize my car. It was like a huge snowman. And was a snowy road…and i tried to drive my car to work….but figure out that the chains i tried to put on my wheels were too small for them, and finally..i abandoned my car somewhere into the snow, and used public transportation to get to work..

So…today i’ll buy chains for my tyres…the right size..and i’ll get some spare time to resize the pics from my vacation to the mountains…
