YES broadband dongle with Linux

I saw a banner here at my hostel telling that there is free YES dongle for the students. So I then went to Dewan Sri Iskandar and queued up for the dongle. After I unpacked  the box it seems the manual provides howtos for Mac and Windows only. So I googled up, searching if anyone got experience with Linux. Turns out that YES officially provided Linux client (in BETA). Here goes the link

How to attach persistent disk on running instance at Google Compute

So I have this USD300 credit for two months period to play around with Google compute. I had created an instance, but with very small storage, 10GB. Then I decide nothing much can be done with that, so I created a persistent disk. Google compute's documentation is incomplete and terrible, so we need to do try and error. So this is the confirmed workable solution that I tested: Let say we created a project name "blah-1234" and a persistent disk name "disk-for-blah" to be attached to a VM instance named "vm-blah" Please replace the --zone ~$ gcloud compute instances attach-disk --project "blah-1234" vm-blah  --disk disk-for-blah --zone asia-east1-c If everything is fine (it'll take few seconds for the disk to be attached. You'll be prompted with the following output) : Updated [https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/blah-1234/zones/asia-east1-c/instances/vm-blah].

IRC client for Linux

I recently have a need to use the IRC to communicate with my counterparts. I have be looking to either GUI based or CLI based.. and each of them have their own strengths and weaknesses. The following were the IRC clients which I managed to test out: CLI based: Weechat IRSSI f-IRC (seems does not support SSL) GUI based: Quassel Smuxi Pidgin-IRC Konversation (KDE based) X-chat I later learnt a way on how to have a daemon listen log to your IRC channel without you switching own your IRC client, hence I tried ZNC. I managed to get ZNC worked on my machine (hence the connection will be localhost: ).  However I did not able to connect to remote ZNC for unknown reason. The reason for me to use ZNC is that I want to get my machine into suspend mode while I don't want to miss any important conversation in the channel, so I believe remote ZNC (say, on my private VPS) should work. Opinions are welcomed.
