Movie: The Real Superhero... Hancock!!!

"There are heroes... There are superheroes... and then there's Hancock (Will Smith). With great power comes great responsibility-everyone knows that-everyone, that is, but Hancock.

The public has finally had enough- as grateful as they are to have their local hero, the good citizens of Los Angeles are wondering what they ever did to deserve this guy. Hancock isn;t the kind of man who care what other people think - until the day that he save the life of PR executive Ray Embrey (Jason Bateman, and the sardonic superhero begins to reliaze that he may have a vulnerable side after all. Facing that will be Hancock's greatest challenge yet - and task that may prove impossible as Ray's wife, Mary (Charlize Theron), insist that he's a lost cause."

OSX: How to create icon?

Have you ever wanted to have your faces as a Home icon? I’m not that freak... ok. But I love to have own icons for certain folders, so icon image will describe the folder contents. A picture is worth a thousand words... huh! If you would like too, below tutorial is for you.

[1] ICON DESIGN
Get the image you like to convert as icon (below is mine). For Leopard the best is to get image at least 512px by 512px or bigger. Make and desire changes (transparent, white background, etc) using any image editor like “Photoshop”. Then resize the image to 512px by 512px and save it as a PSD or PNG.



[2] CONVERT IMAGE TO ICON
Open application called “Icon Composer” (under /Developer/Application/Utilities). Icon Composer is part of Apple’s Developer Tools. You can find these tools on your Mac OS X install disk. Drag the PSD or PNG image file to the “Icon Composer”. Below box will pop up . Just select “Copy to all smaller sizes”. Then click Import button.



So here the look like after you drag the image onto application. Save the file.



“Icon Composer” save the file as .icns file, which is almost usable. We need to convert .icns file to a .rsrc file, so Mac OS X can recognize it as icon. This can be easily done with free “Icns2Rsrc” application. Open .icns file with “Icns2Rsrc”. It will ask you where to save the .rsrc. Save anywhere you like.



[3] CHANGE THE ICON
After done save, icon ready to be used. So you can change any folder/file/application icon by right click (or command+click) on folder/file/application icon and select “Get Info”. Then just drop created icon onto most top icon on the info windows (see picture below).



[4] SHOW IT TO THE WHOLE WORLD
DONE!... Screen capture and upload to the internet like me :D

OSX Safari: Safari 3 Always Show Tab Bar (Leopard)

Like I’m stated, I just upgrade my Macbook hard disk. I’m installed and updated everything from beginning. While reconfiguring my environment, I realized option "Always show the tab bar" from Safari has gone. In Safari 3's preferences, the option removed, but the inherent functionality is still available. (If you enabled it in Safari 2, it will be enabled by default in Safari 3)

I like the tab bar always there because, just need a double click on the bar and new tab will open. So I don’t need to go through long way for new tab open by clicking “File“ menu and “New Tab“.

1. Ensure you close the Safari.
2. Open Property List Editor (/Developer/Applications/Utilities/Property List Editor) Don’t border to search for it if you don’t install developer tools.
3. Open the Safari plist file (~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist).
4. Click the triangle to open the Root list, then click once on Root to highlight it.
5. Click the "New Sibling" button.
6. Change the name (New item) to "AlwaysShowTabBar", set the Class to Boolean, and set Value to "Yes".
7. Save changes and quit Property List Editor.
8. Then open the Safari. TARAAA!

Life Always Not Enough! Hohoho!

Let get Big Hair Brother jealous. See below photos... Hohoho!!! Before this I’m added 4GB RAM to get me to listen to musics (iTune) while editing photos (Darn! Aperture suck all the RAM). Just now, I’m bump the hard disk to 3200GB (297.77 GB in real, 1GB=1 billion bytes.) because existing 120GB hard disk run out of juice after I bring back 16GB RAW photos from Euro trip.

For who got big appetite, to make your life easier, below listed model that I’m used. Tested and verified by ME! But install on your own risk.

• 2 x Kingston KVR667D2N5/2G RAM 2GB, 667mhz, DDR2, CL5
• Western Digital Scorpio 320GB SATA, 1.5Gb/s, 5400RPM, 8MB Cache, 2.5“ HDD

Tivoli Storage Manager: Virtual Node Restore

Recently one of my colleague asking how to restore backup from client A to client B using TSM Virtual Node. I think I just wrote working guide here so the others can read as well.

SENARIO:
Restore all sys*.dat files under directory /u02/oradata/ on ORAPROD (Client A) to directory /staging/proj04/oradata/ on ORADEVE (Client B). Backup need to be restore from 20/10/2007 until 26/10/2007

Client A = ORAPROD
Client A's Backup Server = TSM_SERVER_US <----- Get from dsm.opt file under ORAPROD

Client B = ORADEVE
Client B's Backup Server = TSM_SERVER_EU <----- Get from dsm.opt file under ORADEVE

Note:
dsm.sys - the file defines all TSM Backup Server client configuration option required.
dsm.opt - this file contain/determine which TSM Backup Server should client contact or backup to.

1. Check backup on ORAPROD (client A) either exist or not (this case within certain period):
   
   dsmc q b -fromdate=10/20/07 -todate=10/26/07 -inactive "/u02/oradata/sys*.dat"
   
   
2. Confirmed backup available, get which TSM backup server ORAPROD (client A) backup to and get all the TSM Backup Server client configuration option.
   
   # grep -i servername dsm.opt
   SERVERNAME TSM_SERVER_US
   
   # cat dsm.sys
   SERVERNAME TSM_SERVER_US
   COMMMETHOD TCPIP
   TCPPORT 1500
   TCPSERVERADDRESS tsm-us.palo-alto.com
   PASSWORDACCESS generate
   SCHEDMODE prompted
   COMPRESSION on
   SCHEDLOGRETENTION 14
   SCHEDLOGNAME /var/log/tsm/schedule.log
   ERRORLOGNAME /local/log/tsm/error.log
   TCPBUFFSIZE 512
   TXNBYTELIMIT 25600
   INCLEXC /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/inclexcl
   RESOURCEUTILIZATION 4
   TCPNODELAY Yes
   
   
3. Then login to ORADEVE (client B) and add above ORAPROD's TSM Backup Server client configuration option to dsm.sys on ORADEVE (client B).
   
   # cat dsm.sys
   SERVERNAME TSM_SERVER_US
   COMMMETHOD TCPIP
   TCPPORT 1500
   TCPSERVERADDRESS tsm-us.palo-alto.com
   PASSWORDACCESS generate
   SCHEDMODE prompted
   COMPRESSION on
   SCHEDLOGRETENTION 14
   SCHEDLOGNAME /var/log/tsm/schedule.log
   ERRORLOGNAME /local/log/tsm/error.log
   TCPBUFFSIZE 512
   TXNBYTELIMIT 25600
   INCLEXC /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/inclexcl
   RESOURCEUTILIZATION 4
   TCPNODELAY Yes
   
   
4. On ORADEVE (client B), log on Tivoli Client using ORAPROD (client A) credential by issuing below virtual node option:
   
   dsmc -servername=TSM_SERVER_US -virtualnodename=ORAPROD
   
   
5. Restore desire ORAPROD (client A) backup files /u02/oradata/sys*.dat to specific directory /local/IOPLPR1/arch/ on ORADEVE (client B):
   
   restore -fromdate=10/28/2007 -todate=10/29/2007 -inactive "/u02/oradata/sys*.dat" /staging/proj04/oradata/
   
   
6. TARAAA!!!
