Sisfo Kampus, LIVE!

It's really tiring this last three days as UKRIDA start distributing "Study Schedule Plan" and the process is not as smooth as I was hoping. UKRIDA is implementing Sisfo Kampus it's a University Information Management System developed by Setio Dewo, he is my current project leader on Sisfo Kampus project.

Yesterday I got a lot of complaints from Erwin an officer at general affairs department of medical faculty of UKRIDA. He has some problem with printing the study schedule plan. But today I got even more complaints, not from Erwin but from the students :(

Using Putty for SSH tunneling

As Telkom Speedy internet connection getting worse day by day and didn’t show any sign of getting better. I remember an article I read some time ago about using remote server as a proxy server.

On my previous blog post “Speedy Slow Internet Connection” I’m using my university’s server to connect to RevTI’s server which is located in United States or international network. So I’m thinking to use my university’s server as a proxy to connect to international websites via SSH tunneling.

Speedy Slow Internet Connection

The Internet connection at my office is very very slow since last week. The ISP Telkom Speedy is a worse ISP ever! I can't even download my emails. Only connection to local websites "within IIX (Indonesia Internet eXchange) network" that is accessible, other than that it's just a blank white screen on my FireFox browser.

I tried to connect to RevTI's server via SSH since yesterday to update the ClamAV antivirus that installed on the server, but because Telkom Speedy is sucks (as always) I can't connect to the server. If I can connect to the server, I got disconnected in the middle of ClamAV installation process.

Disable Notification Balloon Tips in Windows XP

I always annoyed with Windows XP's balloon tips notification because it's always pop-up every time Windows is started. Balloon tips notification always pop-up notification about wireless connection not found (which I already know that I turned off the wireless LAN). Doesn't want to get annoyed anymore so here is how-to to turn off balloon tips notification from Microsoft's website:

  1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then press ENTER.
  2. Navigate to the following subkey: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
  3. Right-click the right pane, create a new DWORD value, and then name it EnableBalloonTips.
  4. Double-click this new entry, and then give it a hexadecimal value of 0.
  5. Quit Registry Editor. Log off Windows, and then log back on.

Note: These steps disable all Notification Area balloon tips for this user. There is no way to disable balloon tips for specific programs only.
