Flying Bug

We will be moved to 1st floor, so that 3rd floor where we are sitting now cna be remodelled to the so-called standard.

After it’s done, we the whole team will move back to 3rd floor – right now we are sitting as three groups in different building and different floors, plus one more remote office in Burbank.

It will make the team as a whole, finally. After the big change happened last December, three different teams merged to one but we seldom interact with each other, and wish after the moving we can do better.

I guess, it’s spring now, finally.

It’s no longer cold in the morning, and ther no longer ice on my car (yes, ice, though not thick). Weird thing is that people are wearing more than previous days, I really have no idea about it.

There will be a leads meeting today, I have no idea of what they are going to talk during the meeting, but I believe it’s all about projects’ progress. I should spend some more time on my project plan, as I’m seeing pretty many floating parts in this project, especially so many new frameworks will be used … 🙁

I’m still trying to find a suitable theme – not for others but just for myself 😀

I prefer two columns, light blue or grey, and scaled width (I don’t like 100% width). However, I’m still looking for it now and what I’m using is the closest one I can find.

Get to introduce this blog to some friends, maybe they can help me find a better one.

I was trying to re-install my ubuntu box as it has some wrong items in gnome menu due to previous language setting, but before I do that I came up with a crazy idea of making it a honeypot, and see how fast it can be hacked.

So I changed the password of root to 12345 and hooked it with internet, I mean, externally accessible. I did it in the morning before I went to office, and by the time I got home in the evening, you know it started running something funny already (pscan2). Seems it was a pretty standard to make a zombie (I believe in China it is called “catching chicken”), and once it become a zombie, it started scanning other machines on the internet.

They are using Yahoo’s Geocities to store their program, glad to see Yahoo is helping people in any mean …

Anyway, get to re-install the machine again, have to be a fresh image as I have no idea of what they have done else. Oh yea, I have to move the machine back as I need wired internet connection and keyboard and monitor.

Just got a new bug, which we believe it has been there for more than a year. It seems nobody has ever tested that feature at all, never!

This system is way to complicated to be understanded but a single human being, it is way too hard to find problems especially for inter-team parts (cross function). I’m thinking of how to avoid it in my next project, tough.
