Who said Qatar is a boring country? Well me and 2 of friends just spent pre-New Years eve at Doha's water. It is 31 of December 2008 the weather is fine (a little bit cold) having around 20 Degree Celsius and we decide to dive at Doha buoy.
What to expect at Doha buoy? Honestly I have no idea what's in it, it's like exploration Dive. Ok here is what we experience, the water is fine and calm at surface, you can see some marine few life, we saw Dolphin along the way, now we anchor near the Doha Buoy and we start gearing up. What we experience underwater, it is 20 Meter deep, there is lots lots of current I think it is approximately 1.5 knots to 2 knots you can feel the vibration of the anchor's rope as we hold while descending, visibility is bad so we just spent 25 minutes of bottom time.
H.E. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo visits Qatar and Alpha Phi Omega International and other Filipino Organization in Qatar welcomes madame arroyo to Qatar and having a dinner together.
Could not load the Host USB Proxy Service (VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND). The service might be not installed on the host computer.
No worries, here some more summarized on how to enable USB to your Virual Box
I use Ubuntu (Gutsy Gibbon), with running xVM VirtualBox Ver 1.6.2 if you don't have this just click here to download
Now you have a running Virtual Box, I installed Windows XP Pro, and here are the instructions to enable USB;
1. Create a group named 'vboxusers'
System -> Administration -> Users and Groups then click on Manage Groups then click Add Group
I just add two users root and me my self
2. Modify the usbfs by uncomment the lines
kutch@dorkbox:~$ sudo vi /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh
then uncomment this line, it should look like this;
# Magic to make /proc/bus/usb work
#
mkdir -p /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs
domount usbfs "" /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs -obusmode=0700,devmode=0600,listmode=0644
ln -s .usbfs/devices /dev/bus/usb/devices
mount --rbind /dev/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb
Original line:
# Magic to make /proc/bus/usb work
#
#mkdir -p /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs
#domount usbfs "" /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs -obusmode=0700,devmode=0600,listmode=0644
#ln -s .usbfs/devices /dev/bus/usb/devices
#mount --rbind /dev/bus/usb /proc/bus/us
3. Add the group vboxuser to access the permission rules of device
kutch@dorkbox:~$ sudo vi /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules
# USB devices (usbfs replacement)
SUBSYSTEM==”usb_device”, GROUP=”vboxusers”, MODE=”0664″
Original line:
# USB devices (usbfs replacement)
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", MODE="0664"
4. On your installed OS in Virtualbox Click on settings then go to USB then click on Add Filter you will see the connected USB Device you want to add

Anti Virus on Linux Box
Written by Kutch Villasor
Tuesday, 06 May 2008
Everyone will say why you need Anti Virus on your Linux box? Well in this case the Linux box I installed is for File Server and mainly computers connected on it are Microsoft based and I don't want to format every time their Microsoft PC's. Here's what I did
I did fresh install Debian with Samba for file server and loaded approximately 200 GB of data files that contains Picture, Video, Documents and whole lot more from Microsoft box.
After the installation and file transfer I decided to install Anti-Virus and I decided to put ClamAV and just follow their instruction click here but I will simplify here;
you must be root
kutch@dorkbox:~$ su -
Password: ******
1. edit your source list kutch@dorkbox:~$ vi /etc/apt/sources.list
2. Just append this line deb http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile etch/volatile main contrib non-free
3. Update your Application Source
kutch@dorkbox:~$ apt-get update
4. Install the new ClamAV kutch@dorkbox:~$ apt-get install clamav
Now you are done all you have to do is Scan your transfered files before that check if you are up-to-date
kutch@dorkbox:~$ freshclam
freshclam is use to update your anti-virus, you should see output something like this
Reading CVD header (main.cvd): OK
main.inc is up to date (version: 46, sigs: 231834, f-level: 26, builder: sven)
Once you are up to date then you are ready to scan your files
kutch@dorkbox:~$ clamscan -v -r -i /folde_you_want_to_scan
After the scanning you will see result something like this
Everyone is always asking where is my house. I would say I'm bit far from the City approximately 50 km and you can find me in the middle of desert. Here is the map;
There are many manuals or how-to everywhere in website, but in this case I will make it very KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid!)
ISSUE: I want to format a newly purchase hard drive to be a Linux ready file system (it can be IDE, SATA, SCSI) but in this case I use SATA 750 GB
SOLUTION:
1. First I plug SATA Hard Drive to it's proper SATA slots, in my case I plug to SATA3 coz SATA0,1,2 are occupied already. Remember when you plug your SATA you have to put power supply as well, there are two types of power supply now a days the white one a typical for IDE and the latest one is the black with many pins. Note: if you purchase SATA that has two power supply just plug only one.
