now for performance test. i'm using my pc that is :
  • DFI RS482 Socket 939
  • AMD Athlon64 3000+ @stock
  • Kingston PC3200 512MB x2 shared to VGA 128MB
  • Western Digital 250GB PATA
  • Windows XP Media Centre Edition
  • HD Tach 3.0.1.0
  • Total Copy 1.1
the method i'm using was :
  • HD Tach : running only hd tach & start testing.
  • Total Copy : copying 470MB file from hardisk to the octopus for write speed testing & copy it back to hardisk for read speed test
  • ---will add this later

my conclusion:
Positive :
  • unique design
  • full rubber body. don't know its water resist or not, but the rubber provide shock protection
  • fast enough write speed (for me)
  • fast reading speed
Negative:
  • no strap included
  • well..coz it's design, the overall unit was very large...
  • the design make warranty label difficult to place. (yeah...we need it when warranty claim)
thats all for tonight, tommorrow i'll try testing using FMT.

Fighting with W32.Downadup.B

today i spend almost all of my office hour to clean up virus that infected my office.
symantec antivirus corporate edition reported that the virus is W32.Downadup.B

i try to update my virus definition to the very last updated & scan my computer again. but it fail to quarantine / repair / delete the infected files.

i try with AVG free v8, same results. i'm getting threats detected warning, but when i choose "Remove Threats" or "Move to Vault", i still get same warning, again and again.

i've try to follow the steps described in this page, but it was not working.
even the removal tool that symantec provided can't find the virus.

for complete explanation u can read the report from symantec

so far (14 jan 09) they havent develop the anti virus for this W32.
(damn...my english is a mess....haha)

Introduction : Firebird & VB.NET 2005

(trying to post in english mode on :p)

today i start learn using visual studio.net 2005 (yeah...vs2008 already launch and i'm 3 years late...hehe) plus connecting it to Firebird database. i want to learn & start developing my own POS program & sell it :)

the reason i'm using firebird coz its open source, free, reliable & can run booth in linux & windows. so my future client doesnt have to buy the expensive SQL Server.

why not mysql? it's free too! well, the reason i choose firebird because i'm reading THIS

well, the database is free, but is the development tools legal ?well, i cant answer it right now. but soon i find out, i will post it in here.
