Flying Bug

I got problem with my KVM cable – the mouse was having problem to keep connection with the KVM adapter so it stopped working from time to time, and because of the adapter is sort of loose so I have to unplug-plug for couple of times to make it work.

So I opened ticket to IT, somebody pinged me this morning and we started trying to figure out what’s the problem and what’s the best way to solve it.

Then, the IT guy asked me, “How many devices are you currently connecting to the KVM?”, I said “two but I’m using only one of them as I need to have both desktop and laptop screens at the same time” …

WAIT – suddenly I found how stupid I am – I actually don’t need the KVM at all, I can just pull it out and throw away, and let keyboard/mouse and monitor connect to the RHEL box directly, so that I don’t have to worry about any problem from KVM at all.

So I told him what I want to do, and quick the live chat (yea, live chat is better than phone call), unplug mouse and keyboard from KVM, plug into the RHEL box, everything is set.

I have to say, sometime people just get into the corner, this is why there is always the training of “Think out of box”. 😀

Forgot to mention dishes I cooked for Sunday dinner, they were not bad 😛

• 木须肉
• 酸菜鱼
• 干烧豆腐
• 番茄菜花

Now let’s have some fun with Google’s translate, with the help of this fantastic tool from this great company, what I cooked are:

• Wood have to meat
• Sauerkraut fish
• Dry bean
• Tomato cauliflower

For those who cannot read Chinese, you should say “I feel lucky” =))

Frankly speaking, Yahoo’s babelfish is not perfect, but much more better:

• Sauted Sliced Pork
• Pickled cabbage fish
• Parched bean curd
• Tomato cauliflower

I just believe “Tofu” is still spoken language.

Seems everybody knows I’m having problem with my neck, I believe it is pretty much obvious although I tried my best to hide.

I still don’t know what happened, it just started suddenly. I guess it was because I slept on sofa for couple of hours but this never gave me problem before.

The worst part of this neck pain is it affects driving – I can turn my head to left side easily, but it gives me great main if I want to turn right, and this means every time I want to merge to right I have to take longer time to make sure everything is good.

I guess I’m still lucky – if I plan carefully, I can avoid merge to right for almost all the time, though it may take me more time to get to office or home. Thinking of tough time it is now, I don’t have flexibility to work from home for all the time, so still have to live with it.
