Mugen Power Battery 3600mAh

Around 1230AM, Wednesday, I still had 1 bar left.

I decided to recharge the battery then because I had to go to bed and I was afraid that I wouldn't have enough battery for tomorrow which will be a long day.

In total, starting at 3PM on Saturday, the new battery lasted for 3days + 9 hours == 81 hours with always on email all the time, facebook, phone calls, sms, voip, bluetooth and etc (normal usage)

DBD::Oracle Perl Module returning data via refcursor bug - I have found a work around

DBD::Oracle Perl module, even with its latest version, still has a bug when we return data from Oracle to Perl via a refcursor. The problem is that it will be very slow because the driver does not perform the caching when fetching data from refcursor.

It will be very fast if the data are fetched through SQL SELECT statement, however.

I have found a workaround that you can apply it to your existing codes without having to modify your existing logics.

The workaround is to use Oracle's Global Temporary Table (GTT). And, inside your stored procedure, instead of fetching data into a refcursor, you change the code to fetch into your GTT instead. Then, in your Perl code, you modify the code so that it fetches the data from SQL SELECT statement. This way, you can fetch large data at a very fast speed.

GTT has a behavior that the data inside it are private for each different database transaction and will be emptied once your transaction ends or you force it to do so.


Woo Hoo!

Nokia Messaging, latest edition, works like a charm

Get it at: http://email.nokia.com

Until earlier this year, Nokia Messaging still did not work (at least with my Nokia E71). It made me have to pay to:

  •  mail2web.com for a Microsoft Exchange email service
  • RoadSync, a M$ Exchange client for Symbian, as MailForExchange by Nokia consumes too much battery, can support not more than 400 emails in my INBOX and also allows me access to only my INBOX.

But just last week, I downloaded the latest version of Nokia Messaging and it just works! It can sync my gmail, all mail folders! And it consumes very small battery power! I can keep it always on for a full day and my battery decreases only 1 bar!!! I think Nokia must have changed the entire email for nokia development team heh

Right now, it's still free for use.

rxvt with tabbing

Impressive! rxvt now comes with tabbing... lol but don't get confused with 'screen'. It's not a replacement. Might give you the same feature by seeing from your eyes but if you use 'screen' long enough, you will understand that it's not the same.

links2 / w3m

I have been looking for a good text based web browser for a while. Everything seems to go into the same route, elinks. I think it is the only text based browser that supports JavaScript and also display the color of websites. But its key bindings does not match my lifestyle. I still use w3m. Mostly because its keybindings are vi-friendly.

blogger.com does not support text based web browser

Woo hoo!! I have just installed grml_2009.05 a dream linux distro! But hey wait... I have just realsized that I can't use blogger.com from my w3m - my favourite text based web browser. Ughhh I am publishig blog via firefox. Firefox? WTF! I hate firefox. It is just a real bastard who was born to eat RAM. Right now, my Firefox with 8 tabs consumes 230MB of RAM. Grr... there is not much choice... The web geeks just can't stop adding more stuff into the www. Needless to say, it's because of Google - who brought ajax to the interest of the world. Ugh...

autocompletion for sqlplus

Looking for an autocompletion and probably command history for sqlplus? sqlplus is a text based Oracle client though it lacks of some minimum required feature like autocompletion and command history. But there is always a workaround. "rlwrap", a unix tool. It can add to any text tool programs the ability to have autocompletion and command history.

Mail for Exchange stops working when there are too many emails in the inbox

Today my Mail for Exchange 2.7 (symbian) just stopped working. When I started the synchronization, it just showed error. I noticed that my inbox contained around 420 emails. I then went to the web interface of my Exchange provider and moved all the emails in my inbox into my archived folder and then everything just works! This maybe a limitation of Mail for Exchange 2.7!

Do not grant sudo to execute vi as root

If you grant sudo for a user to execute vi as root, it simply means you give that user a root shell. This is because user can use vi to invoke a shell by using ":!" vi command. Moreover, user can also use vi to open any abritary file as vi does not restrict the files to be read/written to its file list parameters upon invokation.

The best ways to grant sudo to user to edit a file are:

#1 find a text editor that cannot invoke a shell and can open files that are provided as command line arguments upon invokation only

Or #2 chgrp that file to be group editable and add that user into that group

E71 - "Unable to complete installation from memory card..." error

Hello folks,

First off, thank you very much everyone in this post, I got my same problem resolved. I resolved this problem by going to the 'view log' in 'application manager' and uninstalling one-by-one the applications I had installed in descending order (by date). For each uninstallation, I switched off and on the phone to see the effect.

The application that made this annoying popup upon turning on the phone is the Thai Language Pack for Nokia Dictionary that I had installed it into memory card.

I uninstalled it and reinstalled it but now into the phone memory and everything is good now.

Oracle limitation with Perl

Today is Mother's day in Bangkok. It's a holiday here, though, my mom has to work, still. I will have a dinner with her in the evening.

I just spent time today with nothing other than lying on bed and enjoying my new phone, the E71. This is my second E71 though. I lost my first one at a food stall. There are a lot of thieves in my country. I don't know whom to blaim. We just have to take care of our own safety all the time.

Now, it's time for writing down my next short note.

Oracle is a very expensive software. Its performance is very high, hence. However, when it works with other software component, we cannot expect to see the same result.

In my case, I use Perl with Oracle. Although the stored procedure in Oracle executes code very fast, when a large result is sent to Perl, who makes call to that stored procedure, it is crapping slow. The problem is that if a large result is transferred from Oracle to Perl by Oracle refcursor, it will be slow based on what kind of sql select query we use to fill that refcursor. Supposedly, I think the sql select query that at least one column is a result from a call to a function which inside that function has a call to something that also uses refcursor. This problem does not occur with Java though, for example. It looks like there are some bugs in DBD::Oracle perl module and the API Oracle provides to Perl. This issue has long been there for ages and noone is going to fix it yet.

To resolve this problem, there is a workaround that I also have applied to my project. By using a single sql select statement sending directly from Perl to Oracle to get a table through DBD::Oracle binding with data types other than refcursor. Then port the code in PL/SQL (stored procedure) into Perl. This way, the data transferring from Oracle to Perl will be extremely fast by comparing with returning data from stored procedure through refcursor. And that Perl is also super fast from its origin, the performance issue is resolved!

Apache crashes due to error log file size

Apache will crash if your error log or access log's file size reaches 2GB which is the maximum file size of Apache in Linux.

When this problem occurs, you can just delete that file and restart Apache.

You might also consider switching Apache log from normal log into zwrotatelog which will consume a bit more of your server's resource!

Mail For Exchange and Nokia E71

We cannot use the latest version of Mail For Exchange (current version is 2.9.158 S60 3.1 HS). The problem is that MfE will just keep being unable to connect to the Exchange server. This definitely is a bug.

As far as I know, the only working version for Nokia E71 is Mail For Exchange 2.7.0 S60 3.1 which you cannot get it from Nokia's official site anymore.

I did a lot of Googling until I found this working version which you can get it from here

what is lost+found/ directory

As was explained earlier during the overview of the FSSTND, Linux should always go through a proper shutdown. Sometimes your system might crash or a power failure might take the machine down. Either way, at the next boot, a lengthy filesystem check (the speed of this check is dependent on the type of filesystem that you actually use. ie. ext3 is faster than ext2 because it is a journalled filesystem) using fsck will be done. Fsck will go through the system and try to recover any corrupt files that it finds. The result of this recovery operation will be placed in this directory. The files recovered are not likely to be complete or make much sense but there always is a chance that something worthwhile is recovered. Each partition has its own lost+found directory. If you find files in there, try to move them back to their original location. If you find something like a broken symbolic link to 'file', you have to reinstall the file/s from the corresponding RPM, since your file system got damaged so badly that the files were mutilated beyond recognition. Below is an example of a /lost+found directory. As you can see, the vast majority of files contained here are in actual fact sockets. As for the rest of the other files they were found to be damaged system files and personal files. These files were not able to be recovered.

You had better use aria2c - The ultra fast download utility

aria2 (its main program is aria2c) is a utility for downloading files. The supported protocols are HTTP(S), FTP, BitTorrent, and Metalink. It has a powerful segmented downloading ability, downloading a file from multiple sources and multiple protocols and utilizing your download bandwidth to the maximum. It supports downloading a file from HTTP(S)/FTP and BitTorrent at the same time, while the data downloaded from HTTP(S)/FTP is uploaded to the BitTorrent swarm. Using Metalink´s chunk checksums, aria2 automatically validates chunks of data while downloading a file like BitTorrent.

mutt - screen - fetchmail

As mutt does not print out new mail notification to xterm title for some reason (alpine and msnlib do), there is no easy way to notify the new mail if we are not on the mutt screen.  By using screen and fetchmail (together with a cronjob), we can get this resolved.

1. create ~/.fetchmailrc with this configurations:
poll mail.someserver.ca
proto IMAP 
user "your_username"
pass "your_password"

2. have this perl script in your ~/bin/ directory:
#!/usr/bin/perl
$_ = `fetchmail -c`;
s/(.*\)).*/$1/;
print;
 name it get_mail (chmod +x get_mail)


3. add this line into your crontab (scheduled for every 5 minutes):
*/5 * * * * ~/bin/get_mail > ~/bin/get_mail.out

4. edit your ~/.screenrc file to contain 2 lines like this:
caption always "%{+b bk}$USER@%{wk}%H | %{yk}(load: %l |%{rk} cpu: %1` | %{Gk}net: %2` | %{mk}mail: %3`) %-21=%{wk}%D %d.%m.%Y %0c"

backtick 3 150 150 cat /home/your_username/bin/get_mail.out  
the important part is: "%{mk}mail: %3`".  The 150 means 150 seconds.

With this, you will see the number of new emails in your screen status bar (within 5 minutes interval at most).

mutt and imap - checking new mail interval

Here comes another important setting. This is only required for IMAP with mutt. The default time for checking new emails is 600 seconds (10 minutes) which is too low. The recommended setting for imap is 15 seconds which you can set it by:

set timeout=15

in your .muttrc file.

mutt mime type problem with microsoft exchange

Microsoft Exchange has been lying people that it supports 8bit mime.  You have to disable 8bit mime in mutt or else you will not be able to forward/reply some emails (with mime) to any of the emails that are on the exchange server. The error message will be sent in an email.

To disable this, you have to set:

set allow_8bit=no

in your .muttrc file. You will find that variable in .muttrc with a default value already. I had to do this setting when I used alpine too.

Good luck.

How To Install SQL Server from image files

I have just successfully installed SQL Server 2005 with SQL Server Management Studio on a server.

The cause of the problem is that we installed this program from harddisk. If we instal it from the disc, we will not encouter this problem.

To install from the harddisk, we have to rename the folders to be "Servers" and "Tools", respectively.

For Disk #1:

c:\tmp\ms\Servers

For Disk #2:

c:\tmp\ms\Tools

Then we can just double click setup.exe inside:

c:\tmp\ms\Servers

And everyone is happy!

How To Connect VPN With PPTP Client

If you are using Linux or other UNIX like operating systems and you want to create VPN connection to Company's network, you can use these sample configurations:
In /etc/ppp/chap-secrets:
# for PPTP server (Windows VPN server) without domain
your_username server_name "your_password" *
# for PPTP server with domain
your_domain\\your_username server_name "your_password" *

To connect to PPTP server without domain

In /etc/ppp/peers/server_name:
pty "pptp server_name --nolaunchpppd"
require-mppe-128
lock
noauth
nobsdcomp
nodeflate
name chaitat
remotename server_name
ipparam server_name

To connect to PPTP server with domain

In /etc/ppp/peers/server_name:
pty "pptp server_name --nolaunchpppd"
lock
noauth
nobsdcomp
nodeflate
name your_domain\\your_username
remotename server_name
ipparam server_name
refuse-eap
refuse-chap
refuse-mschap
require-mppe-128
You might also have to do a post configuration after connecting by adding a route to Company's internal ip addresses:
# route add -net 10.10.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 gw [the ip address of the gateway you are connected to]
e.g. route add -net 10.10.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 gw 10.10.13.10

Basically, it is that you have to use:

http://aserver:8888/default-fr.aspx

How can I know which files have been changed between releases? It seems like cvs diff applies per file basis. Please advise.

It seems there's no obvious way to diff between specific revisions or tags using tortoise UI. However you can do it on the command line.

If you have cvsnt installed (I guess it comes with tortoise), try this

cd $the_proj_root_you_checked_out_using_tortoise # eg. Z:/duckass
cvs diff -r DUCKASS_1-0-0_RELEASE_20080619_001 -r DUCKASS_1-0-0_RELEASE_20081112_002

But if you do this on unix with unix's cvs, try this

cd $the_proj_root_you_checked_out_using_tortoise # eg. /projects/work/duckass
cvs -d duck@duckserver:/projects/cvsroot diff -r DUCKASS_1-0-0_RELEASE_20080619_001 -r DUCKASS_1-0-0_RELEASE_20081112_002

The two cvs recognizes CVSROOT differently, so you need that -d option if you checked out with tortoise but want to diff with unix's cvs.
