Some inmates say that violence is the worst thing we gotta face.
For me, the worst thing is the great yawn.
How do you fill day after dull ass day?
We got these routines that are supposed to give our lives order and meaning.
But I’m here to testify that I’m less afraid of getting shanked in my back than the routine.
Cause the routine, man,
the routine’ll kill you.

From Oz

My boss was not happy from the situation, neither do I. Because I was working between Apache and MySQL while having wet dreams about other possibilities like Hadoop, Postgre, Nginx, MongoDB, cloud etc.. I’m still young (I guess). Couldn’t keep the game which I had to play with patience, waiting for right time to have a chance to do some experiments, using my imagination. Because we had a ‘stable business’, no need to fuck around. My tag (which mostly I gave to myself) as “sysadmin” was not fitting with what I do.

I quit.

If you have “the routine”, you should do it too.

You may or may not like bash hacks. Well, here is one: Quick installer for Zimbra 8 on CentOS 6. I made it because sometimes I need to deploy ZCS8 on fresh installed CentOS minimal boxes and imho changing domain name on working zimbra is nonsense&problematic.

It’s a very dirty script (and might not work). I’ve used it on zcs-8.0.1 but it *should* work on latest 8.0.x version.

Here is a list of what it does:

- Disabling SELinux
- Disabling IPtables
- Installing some required packages (like bind, sed etc..)
- Touching init levels configuration to start bind, disable sendmail
- Setting hostname
- Setting /etc/hosts file
- Editing pre-configured BIND files for your domain and applying
- Editing pre-configured zimbra files for your domain
- Installing ZCS 8 and configure
- Change root password
- Giving brief information about what the hell happened

To use it, you need to:

- Extract zip, enter directory
- Download Zimbra for RedHat 6 on http://www.zimbra.com/downloads/os-downloads.html
- Extract the zimbra tarball in the same directory with zimbra_installer.sh
- Edit first 4 variable in zimbra_installer.sh
- Run it.

Hope it helps!

Just realized tha one of my debian boxes has the wrong date (wrong hour especially) information on auth.log. That affects services depend on that file (like fail2ban).

Trick is, just restart system logger, in my case it was rsyslog.

Hey,

I’m an android fan and I don’t like talking too much. So check these four cool android apps I can advise.

RedReader Beta

A new (and better imho) Reddit client. Has many shortcuts & easy to use.

Cerberus Anti Theft

What will you do if your android phone is stolen or lost? Try this app.

DiskDigger

Great tool for recovering images from disk. Be careful. You may see things you don’t wanna see anymore.

SSH Server

Name says it all. An ssh server on your phone. Easy to use btw.

(I generally don’t give credit to automated control panels because I don’t like to use them. However, sometimes some people needs to provide hosting.)

If you’re getting error while running easyapache about Perl/CPAN modules (typically Digest::SHA1 or Crypt::PasswdMD5 ) and everything else failed, try forcing DNS resolve for cpan.weepee.org to 91.208.12.235 . Just add this line to /etc/hosts file:
