Some memories from Japan



In our shop we have to volunteer to tell something about ourselves in our little "IT Newspaper". I had a older picture from my contract time in Japan with the company NYK where we used to load in Indonesian oil fields and sometimes in local Texaco Ports and discharge in Kashima/ Japan.

So he scanned this picture for me. Hmmm it's been a while since I worked out, I guess seeing this pic I really have to get back to shape. The guy in the Blue Pullover is a colleague of mine(A Radio Officer on Board).



Here we're standing on the poopdeck(backside of the ship).

As an addendum, just this stats on page loads on the day I posted this blog. Hmmm all the more a reason to get back to pumping iron...



And just later in the evening lot's of hits and newcomers to the blog. Damn, people like the sheet...lol



And the Quarterly keeps rising too...



Cheerio,

  5. Exactly Ha Ha!

    It was real fun working out then. You've got all the time in the world.

    I need to really get back to it.

  6. "Tell me/us something about yourself" -- one of those questions I could never get used to. Thankfully I have not been asked that too many times.

    Nice picture.

  7. Thanks for dropping by Manjusha. To me it was as difficult (well I felt a bit queasy about it). I had to give a picture with my little story and it got me thinking of trying to get myself the way I was sometime back.

    Well it did me some good, I'm starting tomorrow to get my abs/pecs and the works back in shape. I'm also gonna post some more stuff on myself (primarily for myself , I just posted a stats on page loads the day I posted this blog, apparantly it was viewed by many :-))to encourage myself to start picking/recollecting other parts of myself the way I left them.

    And really I avoided the "Tell me/us something about yourself" lot's of time. But sometimes you (re)discover yourself this way.

    Thanks again for dropping by :-)

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
