I just realize that my Yahoo Mail inbox is now with unlimited storage. Cool. I wonder when it started to grow to unlimited storage. Gmail is still growing…Windows Live Hotmail is now 2GB.
Mei Keng Yong Tau Foo
Jun 17
Dinner time…I suggested to have “Yong Tau Foo” in Taman Kinrara but I forgot what is the restaurant name. Eloise (my wife) decided to ask her 4th sis whether the restaurant open in the evening. We got a green light from her 4th sis. Without any delay, we went there…
Eloise grabbed a name card…
Finally, the “Yong Tau Foo” and the curry “Chee Cheong Fun” arrived, 
We finished our food…awesome dinner,
Father’s Day 2007
Jun 17
I decided to celebrate Father’s Day with my family members (me, my wife, dad, mum, brother and his girlfriend) at Sakae Sushi Subang Parade,
While waiting for my dad, mum, brother and his girlfriend, I started taking pictures outside the restaurant using my Nokia E61i, 
Dad and mum started looking at the menu and ordering their dishes…awesome,
One thing I missed…forgot to take pictures on our dishes, sad thing, 
rsync copy instead of using cp
Jun 16
While reading on some blogger’s blog, found this cool tips and tricks, it is pretty interesting. Thumbs up to geek00L 
It is very useful for copying a large file. This command below will show you the copy progress and it will not see it with a cp command.
rsync --progress -v SRC DST
Below is a first example: -
[root@localhost root]# rsync --progress -v someimage.img.gz /tmp
someimage.img.gz
63780138 100% 53.23MB/s 0:00:01
wrote 63788015 bytes read 36 bytes 42525367.33 bytes/sec
total size is 63780138 speedup is 1.00
If you would like more stats, below is a second example: -
[root@localhost root]# rsync --progress --stats -v someimage.img.gz /tmp
someimage.img.gz
63780138 100% 77.74MB/s 0:00:00

Duplicating SSH session without login again
Jun 16
Yesterday, I learned this tips and tricks from my colleague Danesh (or Danny). Thank you. His blog The Danesh Project
You can duplicate a current SSH session without login again…this is awesome and fast,
You need to add the following 2 lines below into your /etc/ssh/ssh_config file: -
ControlMaster auto
ControlPath ~/.ssh/socket-%r@%h:%p
You need to login into a remote SSH server for the first time, the SSH session will create a socket file at ~/.ssh folder indicating a login name, host and port.
ssh root@remotehost
Below is the SSH session socket file created: -
socket-root@remotehost:22
After that, you can duplicate the SSH session by just executing a same SSH command you did for the first login and this time there is no password prompt. You will login into the remote host directly.
This tips and tricks only works on OpenSSH 4.0 above. I had tried it on RHEL 3 (not working), RHEL 4 (not working) and CentOS 5 (working).
