This post is dedicated for my dear coursemates, so if you are not, you can skip this post :)

Getting your host PC talking to Minix3
What ingredient you'll need:
- Minix3 (Duh)
- FileZilla FTP Client (Download)

Setups:
- Install FileZilla.
- Set a password for your root in Minix3.

- in Minix3, type the following code:
# cd /etc
# cp rc.daemons.dist rc.daemons
# reboot


- After Minix3 reboot, type ifconfig and you should see something like:
/dev/ip: address 192.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask...

- Start FileZilla.
- For Host: Copy the ftp address (192.xxx.xxx.xxx) here.
- For UserName: Enter root.
- For Password: Place your root password you set earlier.
- For Port: Leave it blank.

- Click "Quickconnect" button, and you are there!
- If this don't work, format your Minix and try again :)

Booting with new kernel code
So you did some modification in Minix3's kernel code and want to try try out your new code.

Setups:
- Type the following stuff:
# cd /usr/src/tools
# make clean
# make hdboot


- This usually take a while, so you can have your coffee now.
- After the system build the new booting image (assuming nothing goes wrong), type shutdown in your Minix3.
- Then you will bring to another window. Type following code to show all your booting image:
> ls /boot/image

- The new booting image should looks something like 3.1.7rx, where the x changing depending how many time you build your booting image with hdboot.
- Pick the x with the largest number (e.g. 0,1,2,3...).
- Type the follwing (remember to replace the 'x' with the appropriate value):
> func(3,MnxMod){image=/boot/image/3.1.7rx;boot;}
> menu
> 3


- And thus, your Minix3 is now booting with your new modified kernel code.

Old Drawings

Well, bought a printer with scanner, so was testing with its scanner with my old drawing back in secondary. It turns out that some of the parts are very light (pencil colour faded over long time) and requires some brightness adjustment.

So here's the picture after the suitable adjustments~







P/S: If your click the picture and zoom in you can find the drawing date at the bottom right :)

Inception

Well, watching a movie alone ain't so bad after all, especially this one that requires you to have full concentration to have a better understanding of the show.

We all know that we only used 10% of our brain, the remaining 90% remains a mystery that becomes a good idea for all the book authors and script writers, such as utilizing the full brain power you get some magic power, some deep conciousness stuff, etc.

Matrix have 2 worlds and we all went confused about it, now this one giving us 4 world, which makes the effect double. Anyway, not a bad show, definitely worth watching.

P/S: I'll assume I didn't saw the last scene, as I prefer it ends in the normal way without having all the question marks around...

Crazy Neighbour, Poor Bees

Yesterday night, I have some crazy neighbour going rock and roll whole night long, not only disturbing the neighbourhood, but also the mother nature - bees.

I guess these bees are getting restless due to the noise and start flying out in the night, then my room have the lights on and they must thought it is the sunlight then start slamming to the light. After slamming for a while, all died.

Well, I don't care weather you are having party or a lifetime wedding, but under all the curses of your neighbour and the deaths from the mother nature, I sincerely don't wish you good luck lorh.

*RIP poor bees*
