Changed Blog's URL


Yes, I have changed my blog's URL address. The new one is much more easier to remember now.

I was at the library today for a couple of hours (rare!), grabbed some books to read, mostly IT related. I really like the cosy and quiet atmosphere there. Well, since I don't have a lot of things to do during the weekends and I have also completed my PC game of 'Hidden and Dangerous', I think I should go there more often.

Security Audit


Again, it's time for one of the systems that our team managed to be subjected to an external audit, this is done once per three years. Unlucky me, I have been chosen to front this audit exercise.

Althought, I have had experiences dealing with auditors, but I do still get scared sometimes, not because they are intimidating, but rather, what kind of information they will try to probe. They are smart people. On our part, each question should only respond with a simple answer, no more than that. To them, people are the weakest link, so they will always focus on people questions.

Read this: "There are those who will say that network security is an oxymoron - that if you put a computer on a network, it is no longer secure. To some degree, this is true. There is no such thing as a perfectly secure network." - Randal K. Michael's AIX 5L Administration book.

Hidden & Dangerous


It's 2.24am on a Sunday morning. I just had a game of Hidden & Dangerous, trying to figure out how to grab that decoding machine on the floor. Spent some time, but still couldn't find any help from the Internet. Bored, I drifted to another websites, reading some posts on the recent Fighter jet crash news which killed 4 soldiers in Taiwan. It's a pretty sad thing to happen, that made me pondered about the days when I was with the army. You look out for your buddy's back and he do the same for you, a simple logic to understand in order to survive. Yawn....time to sleep now....
