"Know your enemy and half the battle is won", said a Sun Tzu wannabe. But you get the point. In order to win a battle, whether personal or at work or war, the enemy needs to be identified and known. Since life for us is having a finite number of time from cradle to grave, then naturally we need to spend our time wisely. The enemy is then time-wasting. How to know if you are wasting your

A general reading of the book of Revelation seems to have the 7 Letters to the 7 Churches in Chapters 2 &amp; 3 being separated by a gap of around 2000 years from Chapter 4, where a glimpse of the throne room in heaven was given just before judgment is poured on to earth, starting with the opening of the 7 seals. The time gap is implied since the 7 local churches faded into obscurity. How then

Overview North Korea's sabre-rattling tactics by launching missiles and conducting nuclear tests may be seen as an internal affair to boost confidence in Kim Jong-Un's regime, but with its neighbours being alarmed, and attracting the attention of the USA, the hermit kingdom is no longer insulated from world affairs. China, the emerging superpower, will be hard-pressed to act, while the USA,

JCodec is an open source pure java implementation of video and audio codecs and formats (this statement was ripped from the website (http://jcodec.org/index.html). It's a nifty API, with a nice license (BSD), but sadly, as with open source software, the documentation can get a little bit stale. The code listed on the website (as of Mar 29, 2015) to get a single frame works on v0.1.5, but as

Finally, Java 8 is out. Finally, there's a standard way to do Base64 encoding. For too long we have been relying on Apache Commons Codec (which is great anyway). Memory-conscious coders will desperately use sun.misc.BASE64Encoder and sun.misc.BASE64Decoder just to avoid adding extra JAR files in their programs, provided they are super sure of using only Sun/Oracle JDK. These classes are still

What's more damning and ego-bruising than an external DoS (denial of service) attack? Why, an internally inspired one of course. Which self-respecting company would do such a thing to itself? What's the rationale to this irrational behaviour?

There's an easier way to do this since my previous post on the subject above. SSH key generation steps are not discussed here, but the only thing worth mentioning here is that the private key be in PPK format (use PuTTYgen to convert them) Using TortoiseGit, use Putty to save a 'Session'.

Overview For some out-of-this-world reason, your Unix administrator fears giving you the root access. But your web server (Apache or IBM HTTP Server) needs to bind to a privileged port e.g. 80, 443, and root privilege is needed. Using 'sudo', you can at least not bother your administrator to start/stop/restart anymore. He would either be happy that no one's calling to bug him anymore, or fear

Update: I wrongly attributed the design pattern implementation below to the Template pattern, it's actually the Strategy pattern as pointed out by a user in Reddit. However, the article below is kept in its original form, with just the title changed. Sorry for the confusion :) The Template design pattern is useful if you have methods that follow a similar pattern but differ only in a few places

The Java Cryptography Architecture (JCA) is an extensible framework that enables you to use perform cryptographic operations. JCA also promotes implementation independence (program should not care about who's providing the cryptographic service) and implementation interoperability (program should not be tied to a specific provider of a particular cryptographic service). JCA allows numerous

I've got the (unfortunate) privilege of doing some tinkering using a HP-UX box. But, as any battle-hardened Linux user would tell you, HP-UX (along with AIX, Solaris and other Unixes) is a different animal. Things may look similar, but lots of commands for simple things are different in parameters and usage. Here's what I learnt during this short stint using HP-UX and hopefully this will be good
