Previously I blog about Pentaho and succesfully run it in my ubuntu 8.04 box. After a while, I upgrade my pc to ubuntu 8.10 and my pentaho is not working properly. I got below error while trying to create a new database connection.

org.pentaho.ui.xul.XulException:java.lang.NullPointer Exception
Solution for this error is pretty much easy but it take me a while to figure it out.

Finally, fatwa about yoga is out.read it here.
Majlis Fatwa Kebangsaan hari ini mengharamkan umat Islam daripada melakukan senaman yoga secara sistematik kerana boleh memesongkan akidah.
Pengerusinya, Prof Datuk Dr Abdul Shukor Husin, berkata senaman yoga yang sistematik mengandungi tiga perkara iaitu amalan fizikal, unsur keagamaan, mentera dan pemujaan yang jelas bertentangan dengan syariat Islam.
It seems that I still can practise my version of yoga. Well,It’s because mine is just a form of exercise and only involve the physical part.
Correct me If my understanding is wrong.
Till then..happy weekend.

Data migration is the process of importing legacy data to a new system. It is a routine part of IT operations in today’s business environment.
Common Data Migration Scenarios :
* Mergers and acquisitions
* Legacy system modernization
* Enterprise application consolidation, implementation, or upgrade, such as an SAP ERP or CRM implementation
* Master data management implementation
* Business process outsourcing
Here I show you how ETL tool can help to speed up the data migration process using Advantage Data Transformer as my tool. You can’t find much information about this product in fact,I don’t know who on earth is using this product beside me. Although it is not popular compared to DataStage or Informatica but it help me a lot. It just enought.
Most of the thing is drag and drop.easy right.

The moment you are in TENSION
You will lose your ATTENTION
Then you are in total CONFUSION
This may spoil your personal RELATIONS
Intimately, you won’t get COOPERATION
And get things into COMPLICATION
Then you may raise CAUTION
And you have to take MEDICATION
Why not try understanding the SITUATION
And try to think about the SOLUTION
Many problems will be solved by DISCUSSION
Which will work out better in your PROFESSION
Don’t think this is a free SUGGESTION
It is only for your PREVENTION
If you understand my INTENTION
You’ll never come again into TENSION!!!!! !!!!!!!!! !!
p/s: I have to make a big decision in my career…nak ke tak nak.ok ke tak ok…
