In my working Semiconductor factory, some of the machine is heavily protected by network isolate (You can image those machine a very frangible PC which have no windows update turn on), the network is so isolate that only certain bridge PC can connect in both inside intranet and outside - still intranet. To make things even worse, the isolated network is nested; the real machine need cross two level bridge PC to reach the application server.

It's is required by my college as a part of party game, based on Bishoy Labib's version on CodeProject, I make a large picture version base on the blogs started something. the source code can be folked at github.com.

Some blogs says Windows is not a right platform to start Learning Ruby, maybe it's right, but anyway, I just successfully install the latest Ruby&Rails web stack following below steps:

I just attend the CFOpenTour2012 in Shanghai yesterday; its a little surprise that tour didn't require any register fee although I always believe a small amount of register fee can help make audience more concertrate.

Mark Lucovsky's opening keynotes is not shock me. Either I'm already tried the Cloud Foundry before the conference or I also run my blog in GAE. I didn't known Mark as familiar as Ballmer or Dave Cutler. But it do shock me after I check the Wikipedia that Mark is the one few guy who make Ballmer threw the chair. The web stack of Cloud Foundry are all open source, the method and system archtecutre of Mark's key notes final program, maybe name stac2 was very different with existing web application, it is totally spread to 20+ different vm server and seems quite scalable.

I'm using a Windows 7 as my working notebook and usually I use PuTTY as SSH client to linux machine. Recently my Boss plan to implement a dedicated SCM server using GIT and after do some internet research, I found some blogs saying do not using putty and gitolite together. Certainly, it is not true and here is how to build a dedicated centrol.

SSD is brilliant faster in random IO access; I have 5GB+ email which I searching on my daily job, all emails is a one big MS Outlook 2007 PST file. When I store this file in SSD, it takes less than 2 second to get the final result, but if I such file store in the the HDD, it takes 20+ second! So after I setup my new working PC, I quite missing my SSD and finally decide to switch to us my 2 years old the SanDisk SSD.

Yesterday I just got a new notebook Dell E6320 as a working PC for the next 3 years, I would like to record down the hardware system configuration info and hoping it can be a interesting when we look back after 10 years.

My Windows 7 DELL D630 is two year old now, I try installed quite a dozens of software, running a lot of work job, programming several program language and using IDE/reporting on it and I'm satisfy with Windows 7, except now my C drive space is only 1GB left. The D630 Windows 7 C drive has totally 57GB, I known it is very cheap in today's hard drive and it is even no need to check the hard drive if your time is more valuable than the space cost, but I use the Sandisk SSD which is very fast but total capacity is only 120GB and I'm already in the situation that the Windows 7 OS will soon out of work due to free space exhausting.

Which is my best choose? Re-installing the Windows 7 will take 3 days. (yes, adjust the hundreds of setting to my favorate needs and install 3 DB, 2 IDE, 2 Reporting Application, etc really takes that long time.) Deleting some of the installed application almost no use because I need to use it daily so I install it and I need those application. Running the windows cleanup can only clean very little space and it is also helpless in this case.
