Just finished watching Avatar. All in one word, it’s AMAZING!!

It was IMAX-3D but I was sitting in the first row, my neck still hurts.. But after all, it was a great visual shock and yet very educational. And I found out different things that the movie Avatar tells us from different point of views (Don’t read it if you haven’t watch it yet, it will be confusing):

For the sake of personal success: You gotta find your own Avatar and the own Pandora of yours. And for sure there is an Avatar and a Pandora for every one. No matter what situation you are in and what your current status are, there’s always a place or a Pandora for you, on which you became what you really are. And you just gotta take your chance and don’t ever look back! Gook luck with everything tho!

For the sake of our(human) way of DESTROYING stuff: Don’t mess up your own place to live for the sake of a better life. If you don’t even have a place to live, how the heck are you gonna have a better life anyways? Maybe just like the pathetic human race portrayed in Avatar. And sure that our present society isn’t that bad but it is some how all greedy that drives us. But I think it is all just a daydream to have that kind of a world like that is portrayed in the movie.

And for the sake of love: love is a universal thing, if a human and a Na’vi can fall in love, what else can’t happen? Well, to be honest, that might indicate that the playwright is gay or something but I’m a straight guy afterall. :)

In conclusion, I think that the movie is mainly telling people to find your own Avatar and Pandora, but everybody sees the movie in different ways, maybe that’s just how an ambitious  young man sees this movie.

This new version of Ruby 1.91 is said to fix the heap overflow vulnerability in p243 and, in addition, includes over 100 bug fixes. So, it is suggested that you upgrade to p376. (Changelog) I, of course, updated mine:

wget http://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.9/ruby-1.9.1-p376.tar.bz2
tar -xvf ruby-1.9.1-p376.tar.bz2
cd ruby-1.9.1-p376
./configure --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin/
make -j3
make install

If you have a Windows VPS, you will have GUI that comes with it. But it you have a Linux VPS(which is better and cheaper), you will your SSH and maybe a web panel like Hyper-VM. So, today I installed a GUI environment no my not-using VPS.

Requirement:
At least 256m available RAM
CentOS-like OS (Debian should work, but you need to rewrite the install scripts :) )

1, Install KDE

yum install kdepim

(or)Install Gnome

yum groupinstall gnome-desktop
yum install gnome-session

2, Install VNC, X and Firefox

yum -y install vnc vnc-server firefox x11-xorg

3, Configure

Run

vncserver

Set up your password, then you will get a .vnc directory normally /root/.vnc
Kill vncerver and delete temp sockets

pkill -9 vnc
rm -rf /tmp/.X1*

Then edit /root/.vnc/xstartup at the last line you will see twm &, if you want to use KDE then change twm to

startkde

Gnome for

gnome-session

Now, lets start the vncserver by

vncserver

The last thing to do is use your VNC client to login. If you don’t have one already then click here to get one for free.
