KageSenshi's Logs

Last saturday, we had our first meet-up for this society.

Topics are:
Introduction to FOSS and its Global Community -> by KageSenshi (Me!)Linux Desktop Environment and Alternative Softwares -> by me||owYou can get my presentation here

We distributed a few Ubuntu and Kubuntu along together with TTCS OSSWin CD

The support we get was quite impressive, around 20 students came for the meet-up.

Hope we can continue doing this monthly in the future

I noticed theres a notification inviting me to test Blogger's new engine, so I decided to test it (i luv using buggy softwares .. lol ~~ )

It broke some part of my theme ... anyway ... its meddling time~~

People with low resolutions screens tends to use smaller stuff in their UI to save space. Here is a tips on how to reduce the size of your GTK toolbar icons etc. Its quite hard to google for, so I dump it here. I found this tip @ http://gnomesupport.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=10961

Step 1.
Create a file named .gtkrc-2.0 at your home folder if it haven't yet exist

Step 2.
Add this line into the file

gtk-icon-sizes = "panel-menu=16,16:panel=16,16:gtk-menu=16,16\
:gtk-large-toolbar=16,16:gtk-small-toolbar=16,16:gtk-button=16,16"
Step 3.
Logout and relogin (or you can juz kill all your gtk apps and restart it)

after I-Hack, I've upgraded my FC5 lappy to FC6 Test 2 (Now test 3) ... it got compiz in d core package set!!!! ... Gladly i'm using Intel chipset with Intel 855GM gfx card , i can set-up Xorg very easiliy ... I've mangled around with compiz ... even tried compiz-quinn with krh's AIGLX patch ... now using beryl (compiz-quinn renamed .. they forked compiz and create their own development tree) all the time .. love it~!

Edit: Updated the screenshots using a better colored theme

It has been a while since I update this blog .. too busy with stuff ...

on last 20-21 September I entered HackInTheBox competition (one of our reward for winning I-Hack CTF UITM) .. We went there on Tuesday 19th .. me and my teammate, yondie went early because we need to meet our additional team member who are from UITM Arau, Perlis .. we was one of the guy in the third place winner of I-Hack CTF .. UTP won both first and second place during I-Hack .. so both of the teams got chance to enter HiTB ... The second team is our seniors who are very experienced in this kindof stuff ... my team stay @ my house for the night and went to Westin Hotel early next morning .. I'm a n00b in this .. so expect the worst from me .. hehe

The first day of the competition .. we are given 1 server running Ubuntu 6.06 with 6 vulnerable services to protect .. after getting it .. i quickly configure iptables to filter out any packets from the same subnet of the server except from the reverse NAT gateway ..…
