# Web Development

March 25, 2013 Uncategorized avnva

Hostgator provides support to both Ruby-on-rails and PHP. But looks like PHP may have a upper hand with wide user base and plenty of online resources.

Mustard Seed Requirement
1. Sales person can update buyer info into a form.
2. Contract is automatically generated with info collected from form

Good to Have Requirement
1. Sign directly on form
2. Mail signed form to buyer
3. Store information in Database. Drawing down the available houses in stock.

Below are several tools/extension that we can look at.
1. TCPDF – FLOSS PHP class for generating PDF documents.
2. http://coding.smashingmagazine.com/2009/01/20/50-extremely-useful-php-tools/
3. http://phpexcel.codeplex.com/
4. http://code.ohloh.net/ – Free code search engine

# Rapid Application Development

March 24, 2013 Uncategorized avnva

Whats the best way to go. Hostgator has RubyonRails and PHP.
Will need to go with something that is supported by the hosting company.

Would like to have some quick wins. But I don’t seem to get RoR woking with this hosting account.
Port 12002 is not contactable.

# Quitting -Part 2

March 21, 2013 Uncategorized avnva

Looks likes the stars are all aligned.

Project secured a revenue of $500K with cost $400K allocated to me while my downstream cost is around $100K. Giving 100% buffer, I’ve still have $200K to play around.

From demand perspective. Both customer and my bosses want to get the operation right. I’ve the skills and knowledge with the environment and people. Will be easy for me.

My plan as follow. QUIT the job and have company employing me as freelance consultant to help study and document customer Network, at the same time, put in tools that can perform the following

1. IP address / VLAN management
2. Network router/switches Configuration backup
3. Hardware Inventory for supported hardware
4. Setup NTP
5. Setup access for eG
6. Clean up password
7. Central Logging
8. Switch port information

On top of that, setup process and procedure for port provisioning, IP address provisioning.

For all these, charge a fee of $200K. To secure this job, talk to customer to “hand-pick” my service. I’ll work at night so as not to crash with daily operation.

# Open source and government.

March 18, 2013 Uncategorized avnva

There is a long way to go for our people to really get thw chance to excel and grow in the technology field. May me human. May be policy. The government is not pro Open source. There are many things that I like to do which can be done with open source. Such as ip address management, automatic network equipment backup.
I didn’t managed to harness support in usinh open source tools.
Time to rethink industry that I want to be in.

# Galaxy Note 2 charging

March 18, 2013 Uncategorized avnva

Finally got the charging problem solved. No sure is it due to the latest firmware upgrade. N2 took in only 200mA frombthe LG charger.
Off market USB cable is also not recognised well by the phone. With original phone and Plantonics charger, im getting 1100mA of charging.
Thanks also to this great app that gives me visibility to the charging current – “Galaxy Charging Current”. Saves my day.

My passion lies with linux and settings things up to automate daily iT with open source. Particularly network management.
Would like to create virtualbox images containing various tools for easy deployment in environment to do network management.
Things like availability test with dependency test. Mac/IP address history for easy locating machines in network. Backup of network devices config. Redundant link monitoring and alerting. Routing paths.
