I am looking for 56k Fax/Data external Dial Up modem, as in serial com port, not USB or PCI. Just happened to know that serial com modem is not available in the market anymore after hunting few shops in low yat 2 days ago. Anyone who has it and would like to donate/sell at the cheap price, please contact me paul a.t takizo.com

Need it urgently, don’t mind if you have few units to sell/donate to me.

Out of topic, but it’s big thing in Malaysia. Parliament Dissolve Today! Election is coming…

While troubleshooting apache webserver, it would be helpful to have an idea of what are the various status code for HTTP. e.g.

192.168.168.168 – - [09/Feb/2008:14:03:26 +0800] “POST /index.php/display/refresh HTTP/1.1″ 200 – “http://www.takizo.com/blog/…” …

the above log entry would mean the client (192.168.168.168) have connected and the page have been served.

if :

192.168.168.168 – - [09/Feb/2008:13:24:11 +0800] “GET / HTTP/1.1″ 500 – “-” …

would mean there is a error while getting the page. In my case, check mod_access’s allow & deny statements.

That’s all for now, Happy monitoring !!!

Safari has been used most of my internet browsing. Plugins are definitely helpful because the default features are useful but not enough. Sites such as PimpMySafari has enough plugins to fulfill my needs. Below are some plugins that i find it indispensable  :

• SimBl – The first step of most plugins for Safari
• ForgetMeNot – “When I use Safari, I like to keep a lot of tabs open; but when I close Safari, it forgets what I had open. Consequently, I wrote ForgetMeNot—a SIMBL plugin for Safari which saves the URLs you were visiting when Safari quits, and reloads those same websites for you when you start Safari again.”

Not only SimBl is for Safari, it can also use it on OSX :

• Visor – a terminal that “drops” on your screen.

These are the few plugins that i currently see useful. Stay tune !!!
