Xen VPS can’t initialize iptables table ‘filter’
If you using HyperVM and get this error message after upgrading your dom0's Xen kernel:
iptables v1.2.11: can't initialize iptables table `filter': iptables who? (do you need to insmod?) Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.
It means that the library for the kernel is not copied yet to the VM. To fix this simply copy the new kernel library from /lib/modules/<new kernel> to VM's /lib/modules directory then restart the VM.

Richest Man on Earth
You may be thinking that Bill Gates the co-founder of Microsoft is the richest man in the world, not anymore. I read article on Forbes.com today and on that article, it said that Bill Gates is no longer the world’s richest man.
The title now goes to well known investor: Warren Buffett. With estimated $62 billion of wealth (up $10 billion from last year), Warren Buffett now tackle Bill Gates who was the richest man for consecutive 13 years!
Mail From Google Adsense
Yesterday I received a mail from Google Adsense Support. The mail was sent using Priority Airmail from USA, so I think this is a real one.
The mail contains details on how to get my Google Adsense payment. It also gives a PIN to activate the payment.

It’s been a while that I’m not updating my story on this blog, mainly because I’m quite busy with my job and had no exciting story to tell about.
After being in the Netherlands for around 2,5 months, I went back to Indonesia on October 2007 and stay for a while before I go to Malaysia to work on an e-learning project there.
Bought New Philips Headset
I just bought new headset, it's a Philips SHM6100. I try it directly after arrived at my office. It has a good sound quality and enough bass power for my favorite Jazz songs. The headset has a microphone too, it’s good enough for Yahoo voice call.
Here are the pictures:
In this electronics age, we now have home theater systems in place of plain old TVs and old printers, namely computer printers have now been replaced by old wireless computer printer. The digital cameras have decreased the value of conventional ones.

Bought New Handphone
Last week I bought a new handphone, it's a SonyEricsson K618i. I bought this phone because I need a new phone to replacing my O2 XPhone II which has problems with its keypad and battery.
Other reason why I bought this phone is because I need a phone that supports 3G or UMTS. I subscribed to XL Corporate in the middle of this month, which has feature of unlimited GPRS/3G data transfers.
