Curiosity killed my windows XP

Well,it’s not only my windows XP. All my others data gone just because my curiosity to test out the most powerful command in Linux. rm -rf /

I already plan to fresh install my ubuntu once new version is out. That’s why I dare to test that powerfull command in my ubuntu box.

This morning, after my ubuntu Intreprid download completed I then happily burn the iso file to my empty cd, backup my stuff to to other drive and then happily run below command.

See, I’m not allowed to run that command. It’s suppose to be a warning for me not to do that.

Download Malaysia Postcode

While everyone is talking about fatwa on yoga , I’m here to share Malaysia postcode that I use to do some of my analysis work. (which I also get it from someone else. )

This is the only postcode list I have. If you are expecting postcode to be tag by City, I’m sorry for that. I don’t have any. If you do have it, kindly share it with me

Pentaho Data Integration – Introduction

Data is everywhere. I once heard someone saying that data is the next Intel Inside.Well, just look around and I think it’s very true indeed.

Pentaho Data Integration (PDI) is a powerful, metadata-driven ETL tool designed to bridge the gap between business and IT; Previously it’s known as Kettle (Kettle ETTL Environment).The best thing is: it’s FREE. Yeah…admit it,we do like FREE things right ?

The fact is, I’m into Ubuntu now,hence I’m testing this on top of it. No worries if you are using other operating system,PDI is coded using Java so it’s by right platform independent

Here are my workaround for this problem.
