Pain, Anguish, Despair and at the verge of Bereavement



I have been giving it a thought for quite some time but never mustered the courage to go on with it on the blog. Well now I do.

We just heard that our best friend is going through the last phases of his life. It's Skin cancer. And it has intruded the internal organs now. I have been very afraid, not being able to confront the news. And yesterday we heard it that he may not even have a month to live. The pain is gut wrenching. Since yesterday I'm going every evening to him. He's under a heavy dose of Morphine as the pain is getting unbearable.

We've sat together, drank beer, had loads of fun. And now we are preparing to bid farewell. I had expected it to get better. The guy was a strong lad! He was fighting it and ....

Today I held his hand and talked with him. I just think that it's unfair. The guy is 37! And we're so helpless against diseases like Cancer,HIV and more.

It's an indescribable pain which just won't go and will stay when that dreadful void will be created.

  1. Hi Tarry,

    I've just seen this.

    It's heart-breaking to see someone you love being destroyed by disease. (been there)

  2. Thanks David,

    You've been there then so I don't need to describe all the things that go in your mind watching someone go down like that.

    You ask questions to yourself all the times.

    I hurt for you
    This already helps understand and accept the reality of life and death a bit. Those are very special words. Thanks again.

Security: VMware Workstation 6 vulnerability

vulnerable software: VMware Workstation 6.0 for Windows, possible some other VMware products as well type of vulnerability: DoS, potential privilege escalation I found a vulnerability in VMware Workstation 6.0 which allows an unprivileged user in the host OS to crash the system and potentially run arbitrary code with kernel privileges. The issue is in the vmstor-60 driver, which is supposed to mount VMware images within the host OS. When sending the IOCTL code FsSetVoleInformation with subcode FsSetFileInformation with a large buffer and underreporting its size to at max 1024 bytes, it will underrun and potentially execute arbitrary code.

Splunk that!

Saw this advert on Slashdot and went on to look for it and found the tour pretty neat to look at. Check out the demo too! So why would I need it? WHY NOT? I'd say. As an organization grows , new services, new data comes by, new logs start accumulating on the servers and it becomes increasingly difficult to look at all those logs, leave alone that you'd have time to read them and who cares about analysis as the time to look for those log files already makes your day, isn't it? Well a solution like this is a cool option to have your sysadmins/operators look at ONE PLACE and thus you don't have your administrators lurking around in your physical servers and *accidentally* messing up things there. Go ahead and give it a shot by downloading it and testing it. I'll give it a shot myself! Ok so I went ahead and installed it. Do this... [root@tarrydev Software]# ./splunk-Server-1.0.1-linux-installer.bin to install and this (if you screw up) [root@tarrydev Software]# /op
