It seems I forgot about ipdb.mysql during last upgrade so I got a comment about my mistake. To fix this problem, I will upload as an attach file with this post so you can get it anytime you want. I don't commit it to the CVS because of its size. It might take your updating into big trouble for diffing 5MB text file.

As of today, Linux Kernel 2.6.x has been hacked for lots of local root exploits. Anyway, it doesn't matter how many they are but it does matter that most of that exploits valid on most Linux stations. One serious case is that they also valid on even cluster distribution like NPACI Rocks. In other words, the whole servers in a cluster maybe exploited for cracking bigger goal, e.g., password decryption. Ones may argue that it is not that dangerous because they are local root exploits, not remote root exploits. Yes, they are. But you have to imagine the power of grid computing where you can run a job seemlessly on remote clusters with automatic executable staging. That's enough. One may exploit the whole grid instantly.

Last night, I migrated my laptop to Ubuntu 6.06 LTS Dapper Drake as I mentioned yesterday. Just to note that my laptop is not linux friendly in anyway. Sound works fine but connecting to external CRT or projector doesn't work and there is no solution right now. Unfortunately, I really want this capability so I decided to exchange my laptop with one of my wife. It is BenQ S52-M36. Cool! Everything seems to work just fine so I installed Dapper last night. As a result, now I have almost my works running on Ubuntu including this post.

I have just got a package sent from U.S. There is a T-Shirt from SDN team inside that package plus a short message as follow.

Thank you for your patience in waiting for your SDN T-Shirt. The enormous success of SDN - we tripled the number of members while discussion forum activity exploded 6x during the past year - outpaced our ability to keep-up with the T-Shirt distribution process. We’re working to make the process smoother and faster, we appreciate your contributions in the past, and we encourage you to keep contribution to the SAP developer community on SDN.

I have found an unofficial announcement at AGCentral. It pointed me to the new AG portal to host AGDP. Where is it? No, not the new place but it is just a new CMS, Drupal. The new AGDP is now organized as Documentation taxonomy. Wow! It is a big move for AccessGrid.org from handmade website to interactive one. As expectation, it is many more up-to-date.

P2P has been consuming internet traffic over 60% for a few years. Most ISPs have blocked P2P traffic to reduce international bandwidth requirement by using layer-7 filtering or bandwidth shaping products. By the way, this policy causes user to switch to other ISPs instead. It seems True Internet -- the Thailand’s largest ISP -- has a new idea. They will never block P2P traffic or limit the traffic, instead they deploy a cache farm.
