Actually they are not “doing nothing” in the past view years. By mean they are still doing some innovation. Take a look on the video.

Some people said to me that the best thing todo to keep track your things is write it up in a note,
I’m doing it for quite some time,it works, and when the time goes away, the list is getting longer..longer.. and longer..
I even cant manage my time to do which things first as there are 3-4 things that marked as “urgent”, and one task is usually take 3-4 days to compete, yet its not finish, come another task. But I do notice one thing, that my energy is ended up in my rush hour from college-office.

Is this called paralyzed?

But I do hope the result of what i’m doing is really worthed.
Here some summary about what i’ve done, and what I must done.

- I passed all the subjects in last semester. even with the miserable circumstances:))

- Employee Climate Survey
Dissatifaction from our side as the current system “lag” and clogged due to naturally keep postback to the server. This is really unprofessional when we do it to 1500 employees. But cant do much to helped it out, as our outsource developers has their own capability :(
As a result, I have to deploy the new survey system and must be running well on the end of this month. Thank’s god it’s deployed and ready to use.

- Helping in marketing part. Create brochure, sending mass email, etc.

- Internal server problem
Due to increasing usage in IT in the office, our current server become down on “peak” season. I already identified this risk on the beginning when I join the organization because the last “IT Guy” use XP as a server. So, we will be using linux enterprise(maybe ubuntu, or CentOS) and must be ready on 2nd of February. I have 3 days on my weekend to do the migration. Middle-term plan is we will buy the new powerfull server machine in the next 4-6 Months.

In college, actually quite a lot as well.
- HCIU : Human Computer something. Its a loot documentation, up to 150 pages.
- MMA : Sort of flash thing, my topics is creating Wall-E games (3D in flash)
- PED : CV, resume, jobs ads, fyuhh
- WAPP : Yet another web application, using ASP( funny thing, last semester were being pushed out to learn it by ourself. Now they “properly” teaching us how to code in ASP).

Actually there are quite a few topics that I like to write about. Such as Google move in China, and another techie stuff like usual.
Just when I got home, i got tired makes me very lazy to do it.
Okey, stop complaining. Start to rest :)

“irpstacksize” tweak

by Abdurahman Mashur on September 13, 2009, 06am

Yesterday was full backup day.

Since my old laptop last installed xp is in 2006 and I used to installed it with oracle 10g, it’s getting slow even I added the ram. Thats why I decided to backup all those important document to my PC at home.

So, set up the domain for home networking, unfortunately windows gives me following error:

Not enough server storage is available to process this command.

What the heck? is 2gb RAM and 500GB harddrive isnt enough storage?

I checked with the event viewer, it said that my “irpstacksize” is too small to do the operations.

Hmm, looks like registry problems. According to Microsoft KB, this is the solution :

  1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
  2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters

  1. If the IRPStackSize entry is not present in this subkey, follow these steps:
    1. Click Edit, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
    2. Type IRPStackSize, and then press ENTER. 

      Note Type IRPStackSize exactly as it appears. The value name is case sensitive.
  2. Click IRPStackSize, click Edit, and then click Modify.
  3. In the Data Value box, type a larger value, and then click OK.

    Note Values may range from 0×1 to 0xC. These values are equivalent to 1 to 12 in decimal notation.

If the problem persists after you complete the previous procedure, increase the value of IRPStackSize more.

Tadaa, The problems gone. Good Luck if you are having the same problems.

It’s been a month after this blog last updated.

Most of the contributors -including me- are working on the same college production event called “BATAVIA”. Yes, and myself are the project manager.

Considered this project is quite big, most of the things are done in last minute and huge pressure from all side, thanks to god that it went successful even the police in DBKL request us to shutdown the second day event due to massive political demonstration near our place. My supervisor asked me after the show whether i’m happy or not due to the second show is cancelled. I’m simply answered : Both…

I’m happy because it will make a positive impact to the team members, theyve done a great show ( yes, it is really great, honestly). They can rest after months of hardwork, release the pressure, share the great time theyve done together. But..

My job isnt finished, as this is a production and  sell tickets. I still have to ensure that unused ticket for the second day have to be refunded, and the other things such as refund the deposit, documentation, make sure that borrowed properties are returned to their owners etc.

Slowly but sure, almost all the process are done. Credits to all people who ever involved in this project :)

You want to buy a notebook computer but don’t know where to start? You’re not alone friends.
Buying a new laptop can present many challenges, especially if you’re not familiar with laptops or notebook computers.

Over the last little time, there are so much new laptop technology has hit the market. Especially from hardware side, it keeps changing rapidly and constantly getting better in just a count of months.
The terms like Intel Core Duo, Quad Core Processors, RAMs, SLI, Blu-Ray etc can be totally mind cracking or even sounds like an alien’s language to the average consumers or let’s say consumers that never ever buying a computer before (which is they really need a computer because of their works and stuffs).

See, I told you, Chrome will be Google OS.

by Abdurahman Mashur on July 9, 2009, 07pm

file0044Yes, the title is talking about new operating system to the market. As I mentioned earlier(the post is in bahasa indonesia, so i suggest you to use google translate to understand :) ). Google  is having hidden agenda to beat microsoft. This is the real result from cloud computing implementation. Most the program code is executed on the server, including all the data and everything. The client is just use small computing task to render the result from the server. For thou of you who don’t know google’s chrome browser feature. This is the key features :

- Multi tasking, yes even browser have multi tasking capabilities. Means that everypage that you open using the chrome browser, is compute the page using differents memory allocation. So if there’s crash on the page, it will not crashing the other pages.

- Google Gears. It’s download static contents from your internet pages that having gears capability. So you can search e-mail or any other data in live experiences. It’s reduce the amount to loading the whole pages.

The OS is still far from perfect. But we will see.

data lostSome of us might have experienced data lost, and it’s sucks. There are many ways to prevent data lost such as data recovery, data restore and back up. These things are the most common things that people will deal with, especially for them whom works in the office and really need a protection for their virtual data. Sometimes we ought to think that our data is safely store on the harddisk, yes it is safe enough to keep your files into harddisk until it reach failure time and all of your data is gone.

Is it too much that important to back up your data?
