While attempting to compile djbdns 1.05 and daemontools 0.76 on a CentOS 5.5 I received the error:
/usr/bin/ld: errno: TLS definition in /lib/libc.so.6 section .tbss mismatches non-TLS reference in envdir.o
The problem can be eliminated by adding:
-include /usr/include/errno.h

I was instructed by my financial advisor to apply for the Al-Aiman credit card because of the low cash advance fee, to execute in a financial program, so I did and I got approved.

I had to go through quite a significant number of resumes the other day, and here are some tips for fresh graduates out there.

Technology is great, indeed but human interaction is also important.
We are sushi lovers, yes. Our favorite sushi outlet in Malaysia is Sushi King.
Passing by Sakae Sushi for many times and looking at the rows of computer screens, we decided to try it out on Mother’s Day at The Curve. While other eateries provide promotions for [...]

Facebook is an application, so it’s normal that it has glitches and problems.
The first one I saw last week while writing a like button plugin is the incorrect number of likes a like button displays:
It’s obvious there were 4 likes for the post but it randomly displays 2 of my friends. When not logged on, [...]

Today, I saw that Facebook introduced some new features, and one intriguing feature is called “Facebook Social Plugin“. It would be very interesting to have blog posts to be simply “liked”, and having information displayed about activities and recommendations related to your website.

I have no plans to change this blog to an insect blog or anything like that. I am just disappointed with people who are acting like Weaver Ants. The disappointment is greater since most of them are friends.

These ants usually live in elevated spaces, most common on trees. Some orchard farmers also [...]

It was an interesting morning today, when a friend told me that his brother received a job offer in a Forex trading company in Shah Alam.

On the road, one should not only think about oneself but about others. If the road is made only for 2 parallel vehicles, don’t make it three. But then again people don’t care.
For example: Who is more despicable, queue jumper or new queue maker?. I like this post so much I am borrowing his images.
