Libang-libu (the lemma of choices)

Don't ask me what it meant, it just words that I think it fun to put as my topic today.

I am pretty much snowed under with tremendous workload ... teaching 3 sections with ~120 students, meetings, seminars in the workplace.. and what not. Alas, I'm not forgetting my pursuit for Phd ... despite I'm worrying whether I'm on par with the rest of the CS scientist (wannabe).

Thinking about go to States, looking that_many people from Asia going there, and lotsof them even become the faculty members. Not I'm thinking to become like them(though I admit it is kinda pride working as a faculty member in a place where CS was borned). Now that one thing I don't really like about applying to States is that you_have_to_spend_USDs_for_just_applying.

Unlike applying for .AU, where you just simply go to IDP, and send your letters, etc and *they will take care most of the stuffs for you for FREE*...

If I'm applying for States, means I've to sit down for GRE... and I spend some times to surf to CS dept's overview/requirement... it's very comprehensive in a sense it carefully tells you what to do, what to expect etc. Some CS schools mentioned that if the applicants have deficiencies in some subject, the candidate can take the undergrads subject there... this is awesome. But of course if applying for good school, why they should care teaching more loads if they can have off the shelf, ready to go candidate?

I stumbled on your post (http://elhilal.blogspot.com/2007/06/space-explosion-how-it-really-relates.html) and I hafta say it has been a long while since I last saw those finite state machine diagrams (if that's what you call it). Used to be my favorite subject. Still is, I think. Theory of computing is one great subject.

My colleague point me to the AirAsia flight turbin and he told me, "Macam debian punya logo" I saw a spiral on top the turbin blades. Pretty much like Debian Logo That's spark me to shoot for a pix. And I was warned by the airport staff. Uh,uh. Flash lamp will spark burst,eh? I was presented my "mock" research proposal. Suggested "Profiling Bioinformatics Application Behavior on Distributed Computing Architecture". Eh, will this gonna be bioinformatics specific or hardware optimization specific.or? Flashback: I spent almost a week at the office. When it's Subh azan,went back to my house for bath and pray. Reading all the journals and papers was not funny,really. Tough eye balls. No world cup. Ewh. And have some VCD lure. Uh,uh. you gonna be kidding. Anyway, I learned a lot and UTM SLAB Research Course is no joke. Really. My proposal has been corrected with comments so I have

How to connect Virtualbox's host-only-adaptor to the Internet

I could do the setup quite simple in CentOS, but that's not the case for Ubuntu and Debian. For Debian, I just followed this tutorial. We need to add an extra network card virtually as noted here For Ubuntu that I used (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS) it seems that I had another problem, there was no eth0....but renamed to enp0s3 etc which quite yucky... So I need to get back the eth0 convention, hence I need to this first, refer here  .. then only I could proceed with the manual network card assignment as in here
