Happy Birthday Linux

It’s all begin with this email in comp.os.minix newsgroup

Subject: What would you like to see most in minix?
Summary: small poll for my new operating system

Hello everybody out there using minix –

I’m doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won’t be big and
professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones. This has been brewing
since april, and is starting to get ready. I’d like any feedback on
things people like/dislike in minix, as my OS resembles it somewhat
(same physical layout of the file-system (due to practical reasons)
among other things).

I’ve currently ported bash(1.08) and gcc(1.40), and things seem to work.
This implies that I’ll get something practical within a few months, and
I’d like to know what features most people would want. Any suggestions
are welcome, but I won’t promise I’ll implement them πŸ™‚

Linus (torvalds@kruuna.helsinki.fi)

PS. Yes – it’s free of any minix code, and it has a multi-threaded fs.
It is NOT protable (uses 386 task switching etc), and it probably never
will support anything other than AT-harddisks, as that’s all I have :-(.

17 September 1991, Linus Torvalds released the first version of Linux kernel (0.01) to the Internet
Today, Linux celebrate its 16th bday πŸ™‚
I think The Pinguin should appear in MTV’s Super Sweet 16 πŸ˜›
Well anyway, you can flashback with kernel 0.01 by downloading the source here

Eh, dah sembuh :D

Hehehehehehe, setelah minggu kemarin didera flu, weekend kemarin flunya dah sembuh. Yah gitu deh, minum obat flu plus banyak2 istirahat ma minum aer putih πŸ˜› Tapi sepertinya me getting better setelah jalan kaki pulang ngantor selama puasa. Mayan 30 menit jalan kaki everyday.
Trus kabar baiknya, dah dapat konfirmasi pesenan tiket mudik hehehehehehe. Karena ga ada flight direct ke Malang (ada sih kalo dari Jakarta, tapi dah fully booked), akhirnya pilih turun Surabaya ajah. It means … i’m gonna have another roadtrip Surabaya-Malang seperti tahun kemarin.
Nah ini masih bingung, mo naek bis pa minta tolong teman-teman di Surabaya untuk nyariin travel. Terakhir ke Surabaya pas wedding partynya Vera n JB, waktu itu adikku nyamperin ke bandara buat ngambil laptop (dari pada shipping, nanti kenapa-kenapa belum lagi ribet ngambilnya). Mereka bilang Malang – Sby lumayan lancar naek bis, sekitar 2 jam. Tapi Surabaya-Malang sekitar 3 jam lebih krn macet di porong.
Duh … mengingat kayanya flightnya bakal capek n buru2 pingin sampe Malang, better call Surabaya for help πŸ˜›

To Laura Lochore, i’m preparing to make another “Mudik The Series” .. season 2 hehehehehehe

Eh iya, kemarin nemu ikan asin di supermarket ihihihihi, iseng2 nyari bahan makanan buat sahur yang lebih baik (ya ya ya, selama ini seadanya ajah pake makanan kalengan :P) trus nemu “salted fish”. Aku kirain apa, ternyata ikan asin bwahahahaha, dodol deh.

Ramadhan is coming :)

Marhaban ya Ramadhan
Selamat datang Bulan Suci Ramadhan
Selamat menunaikan ibadah puasa.

Sebelumnya, mohon maaf atas segala kesalahan yang saya buat baik sengaja maupun tidak
offline maupun online πŸ˜›

Hatchooo!!

I am feeling terrible today. I got cold in past 3 days. After taking medicine, no more fever, headache, sore throat. But still get the runny nose … ewww. This nose thing made me feel very very uncomfortable πŸ™ Couldn’t sleep well (how could you when you hardly able to breathe because something is “blocking” you nose when you’re laying down).
Arrrghhhh, Ramadhan is coming in 2 days and I’m not recover yet πŸ™

Farewell Pavarotti ….

Luciano Pavarotti was an Italian tenor and one of the best known contemporary vocal performers in the world of opera and across multiple musical genres. His vibrant high C’s and ebullient showmanship made him the most beloved and celebrated tenor since Caruso and one of the few opera singers to win crossover fame as a popular superstar. He was the first classically trained singer to become identifiable to a mass audience, a feat he achieved most memorably during the 1990 football World Cup, which adopted his rendition of Puccini’s Ò€œNessun dormaÒ€ as its signature song.
But today (Sept 6, 2007), the great tenor has died at age of 71.
Farewell, Pavarotti


Nessun Dorma by Pavarotti at Torino 2006

A year already

Ok, tough choice ..
Japan or Europe ..
Been in Europe … ummm just France actually, zoom in .. only Paris …
but 3 weeks in Paris was an unforgettable memories πŸ˜›

Japan, i really wanna go there, but never had a chance. Huhuhuhu, already made list, things must buy in Japan. Let me see, Gundam collections πŸ˜›

By the way, been a year ago I came to Hongkong πŸ™‚ Unlike last year, a trough of low pressure is bringing showers to the south China coastal areas and the northern part of the South China Sea.

At 2 p.m., Typhoon Fitow was centred about 660 kilometres south of Tokyo. It is forecast to ove north-northwest at about 14 kilometres per hour in the general direction of eastern Japan. And it’s gonna be cloudy with showers in the next couple of days.

Hatchooo!!! I think I’m having a bit of a cold. Eww …
But good news is I can come home to Malang this year πŸ™‚ Well only for 3-4 days, but it’s enough.
