Will of Pro-Blogger

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

When you read this post, maybe I’ve dead! I guess this should be the first sentence in each will. What will happen to your blog, if you die? I know many people don’t like to talk about their death (because nobody want to die). Anyhow, it is a fact that we don’t know when it comes. So, better be prepare before the Day comes!

I have thought of this issue when my blog started to earn some money. Was thinking to start a Web service to provide the service but have no action. Until I read the WordPress plugin Next of Kin at Adesblog. It is really a good plugin to solve this issue with no cost!

Everybody must write down your will, especially Pro-Blogger that make money online. Leave your “online property” for your love one. At least they could make a living or small fee to support their life after you left (Of course we hope won’t happen on us). (more…)

LTSP on Hard Drive

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

LTSP or Linux Terminal Server Project is one of the good method to save your Microsoft Windows OS license cost.Basically, LTSP client can boot on various way: a diskette, CDROM, Network Card (NIC) or Hard Drive. In this way, of course it save your hardware cost too!

I’ve implemented LTSP client in production workstation 2 years ago. All LTSP client boot with configuration set on SUSE Linux server (SLES 9). Less admin work, easier to maintain such huge workstation pool. Most of my LTSP client have no hard drive. They run on just NIC or a diskette for older motherboard that don’t have PXE.

LTSP Boot Device Problem

Recently I faced a problem to overcome LTSP boot device error. As you know, we seldom use acient floppy drive nowadays. Some old LTSP computer have to boot from floppy diskette and the floppy drive spoilt. How to resolve this problem once for all? It is tedious job to buy floppy drive and replace.
