I am a big fan of ifttt and many recipes used from that service to automate my tedious Internet tasks and activities. I am expecting a mobile app that provides similar services. There is an android app called Tasker but not that intelligence and still needs room for improvement. Surprisingly, the one which works similar to ifttt is the app called on{X} from Microsoft. It can automate the tasks according to your need and you can code your desired automated tasks by calling device apis and functions. It is still in beta and have lots of known issues. Check it out coders with android gadge...

Themer is a theme platform that android veterans are looking for. It was started as a closed source,so I didn’t have a chance to try it. Waiting for invitation code and it didn’t come to my inbox. Now,no more invitation and you can download it at GPlay Store and it won’t let you down. It is still in Beta and a little glitch in widget customization. However,the rest of the feature is killing.

OSSEC I learned about IDS at network class but doesn’t have a chance to try. Like people knows,there are two types of IDS; Host Based IDS and Network Based IDS. The IDS type I try out is the former type. Purpose Since I am working on browser forensic, the first experiment is to know how the browser changes the file integrity for different stages and where the changes happen to the host machine. This is not the only functionalities of OSSEC. It can do more than file intrgrity checking. For more information about OSSEC functionalites: OSSEC Feature Architecture OSSEC can works in two mo...

One problem that can leave your system unstable is dependencies or orphaned packages leaving after you uninstall a package. This problem can be solved by installing a tool called debfoster. It tracks what you have installed and ask you to uninstall dependencies files when you uninstalled a program. //install sudo apt-get install debfoster //help sudo debfoster --help //create initial keeper sudo debfoster -q //system to conform to keeper sudo debfoster -f //check orphaned/dependencies files sudo debfoster More information: using debfoster in practice

Gnome terminal is a default terminal application for Ubuntu distro and I love its simplicity and consistency. I’ve been wondering today that how can I change the color scheme without changing color platte one by one. My curiosity is fuilfilled by this github repo: gnome-terminal-colors-solarized. Installtion is simple and straightforwards. There is 3 color plattes to choose from. Hope I can contribute to insert more nice color plattes in the near future. Updated: After I look though github repos, I saw several projects related with this and ddecided to make a curation of them.

Since I’ve been doing research for my master, I have to spend lots of time reading journal and conference papers. The problem is organizing these papers. I did a little research to find some ways to automate the tedious task of downloading paper,organizing by author,date,conference and so on. I found some tools which are Zotero It is a good citation tool which is multiplatform and can synchronize your library across your machines. The free account only offers 300 MB webstorage. That’s the only problem I found and I starts with Zotero. Mendeley Mendley is the tool I jumped after I run ou...

I read an article about a guy’s concept of making his digital devices to minimalize for the sake of keeping his mind and work-flow simple and straightforward. After I read that, I forgot to keep a bookmark this page and couldn’t find it again. The devices he have are iPad and iPhone. It’s so simple. He keeps the springboard of both his devices “blank”. That’s it. One thing I still remembers what he replies to others who ask what if you don’t know the name of the application you are looking for. He said “If you doesn’t remember the name of the application you use, it is not important o...

It s the buzz word in web-design,“minimalism”. What if your life minimize to a certain ratio? What if you reduces your desires and becomes anti-consumerism? It follows the teaching of Buddha too. However,people likes to have newest,most expensive,the rarest possessions on their hands. To live a pure unselfish life, one must count nothing as one’s own in the midst of abundance. The question is do you need all of these belongings? Do your life needs to carry all these stuffs with you? Most people thinks having expensive clothings,fastest car and latest techie promises Happiness. Ho...

Well…It’s another random thing I am working on. As you may or may not know, the size of the DNA raw sequence is quite huge. It’s at least 1 GB and some files are around 25 GB. When I am pre-processing these data-sets, it generates more files which are at least 3x bigger than the original file. What happen is that I run out of storage in sever even though it still has like 80 GB free space left. However, that’s not enough for a 25 GB sra file to split into single-ended file. So,my supervisor told me to map a network storage or find a solution to solve. Ok.I did some light research about N...

This week, I have to analyze and trim the adaptor sequence for 5 illumina HiSeq 2000 reads (Penaeus_monodon & Litopenaeus vannamei species). If you want to know about the research work I am helping with,please go to this page: CentexShrimp. Ok….Back to Sequence Trimming, The detail information about the run sequence can be viewed at NCBI Website. SRR346404 SRR653437 SRR388207 SRR388221 SRR388222 This is the list of the tools I used. sra tool Kits : contain several tools for converting datasets from one format to another. for this analysis, I convert the sra dataset...
