Freak Accident

This happened yesterday in front of our office.

Dan could not go home via the normal route, so he went back to the office and sent me to the train station, since the bus route was blocked too.

Code Hosting @ Google

I just created a project @ Google Code to host majority of my scripts. Project name is: nyet.

Netsh Is Not Working

If you encountered a problem where netsh couldn't pull the interface name and show the UID instead:

>netsh interface show interface
Admin State    State          Type             Interface Name
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enabled                       Dedicated        {38E7FAC8-FC0C-46CE-BA06-59C5323F1CEF}
Enabled                       Dedicated        {59F5094B-3EC3-4F9B-892A-DF5F773292D9}
Enabled                       Dedicated        {92C5A1C0-8075-486C-B8A8-AAF8914F7E96}
Enabled                       Dedicated        {A9BC217F-9B17-44C9-843D-7C1B8471EAC3}
Enabled                       Internal         Internal
Enabled                       Loopback         Loopback

This inability to get the name of the interface is a problem since netsh will not work properly. The command only will take interface name, not UID.

The solution is outlined here.

I am unable to get this to work when I try to specify the interface name. "Local Area Connection" is considered invalid, and gets me no where. When I dump the netsh info, it lists all my interfaces as some gibberish like "{ADB7473C-C67B-49DE-B0D9-A25E990A39F5}", but even using that, and otherwise following the examples, the interface is called invalid.
i have enabled remote registry service then it's working [...]

>net start remoteregistry
The Remote Registry service was stopped successfully.

>netsh interface show interface
Admin State    State          Type             Interface Name
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enabled                       Dedicated        Local Area Connection
Enabled                       Dedicated        VMware Virtual Ethernet Adapter (basic host-only support for VMnet1)
Enabled                       Dedicated        VMware Virtual Ethernet Adapter (Network Address Translation (NAT) for VMnet8)
Enabled                       Dedicated        Local Area Connection 2
Enabled                       Internal         Internal
Enabled                       Loopback         Loopback

This only took 2.5 hours of my life. No biggie.

We went here to treat Leakna since it is her birthday. It has good food and the service is reasonably prompt.

I wonder why people hate this place [link to google]

This is my last dinner with Danny, before he leaves for Atlanta next Friday. Gitesh bussed me there since his workplace is the closest one to me, besides, he could easily drop me off at the Irvine train station on his way home. Aamer (and spouse) attended the gathering and Brent suggested the place, I wonder where he got it from...

I ordered one pound of mild crawfish with half cob of corn and 6 slices of sausages. Nevertheless the food is wonderful and the garlic sauce is great. I had to order a toasted french bread to mop up the sauce.

This is a great place to fill up on mollusks and crustaceans.

It Is 75

75/100 - got to have 100 next year.

Link: score.

Yohannes Called

I received a rather surprising call from an old friend this morning.

Return To The Land of Endless Headaches

Arrived at ONT around 8AM in the morning, waltzed into the office at 9:30AM.

Today, I managed to stabilized the sync method when AJAX call is invoked after a page is refreshed.

Sunol

We (Ida and I) spend this Saturday hiking at Sunol Regional Wilderness with Tony, Maria and Nani.

The trek is nice: lots of flat surfaces and low gradient climbs, surrounded by lush green hills and docile bovines.

Yet Another Black Friday

Last Friday, I missed Tustin train station, and this Friday, I missed flight 2452 to SJC - arrgh! Luckily the next flight isn't overbooked.

The bright side: I finished the script that slurp the goodies from easynews for Freeman.

Dinner

It is nice to meet everyone from the FAST project again. I think only Gitesh, Leida, Mahtab, Neelam, Danny and Rao are the ones that stay.

Uwe and I are the ones from the darkside.

Event 10 - Advance

Skipped this one since I ran out of juice on the train, took me a while to finish it.
