#Memo - Bought a Ruby book this morning and Just Realized Today is Ruby Day!

I've got some times this morning and walked around along the street.
I've found a book shop near the station, went there to look around.
After reading some books, I've got one good book, called Ruby Recipe.

And Now,

One of my friend just told me, today is Ruby's day.

Wow! That's Greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!

Kind of Serendipity :-)

Ruby is for me too :-)

Paid 420k Yen (approx. 4600 USD) to Embassy for the so-called tax, to extend the passort

Paid 420k Yen (approx. 4600 USD) to Myanmar Embassy for the so-called tax, to extend the passort.

Detail: 10k Yen per month for 3 year and few months => 420k Yen

420 000 Japanese yen = 4 679.22 U.S. dollars

I asked Chinese, Indians, Phillipinos, even Bangladesh, they don't have such things.

So this kind of tax is only for Myanmar Citizens who working in foreign.

NTT Sucks!!!

NTT Sucks!!!

They recently blocked almost everything for internal internet, which includes google search, yahoo search, even stackoverflow. Damn it!

Regarding New Zawgyi

In my New Zawgyi original plan, there was 2 steps,

- Step 1, Zawgyi 2009, which is backward compatible with original Zawgyi
- Step 2, Zawgyi 2010, which is backward compatible with Zawgyi 2009 and Compatible with unicode 5.1 for Ethnic Characters,

BUT, Zawgyi 2009 didn't get released, Its NOT my fault, I told them in 2009, they can release it but its never get released.

So, basically, I didn't satisfy with the plan, and I wouldn't continue for Zawgyi 2010 anymore.

But I got some requests from Ko Ye Myat Thu the other day, and added some basic characters for ethnic letters, basically combination of Shan Font and Zawgyi 2009 Font

Which you can find it here, with source included

http://newzawgyi.googlecode.com/svn/zawgyi-ethnic/

And Font Face is called Zawgyi-Ethnic , not Zawgyi-One anymore.

BUT, its only initial, I don't like to take care of any more additions or changes or bug fixes, basically everything!!!

If you like to continue, just copy there and get the source, and update it. You could discuss with Ko Ye Myat Thu for more.

Memo# Added StackOverflow flair

Added My StackOverflow flair

Writing Proxy Server for particular site in PHP with one line (HTTP GET only)

I cannot get access to stackoverflow today again.

So here it is tiny proxy server for http get request, I've written today.

<?php echo preg_replace('|"\/|','"/?x=',file_get_contents('http://stackoverflow.com/'.$_GET["x"]));?>

Cheers,

Memo# Couldn't get access to stackoverflow.com

I couldn't get access to stackoverflow.com almost all the days (only about an hour in the evening, its fine)

- downforeveryorjustme says its down there too
- but just-ping says its almost fine from most place
- it could be my company banned it for local machines
- superuser and serverfault got banned page, but stackovflow and meta aren't, just got

The remote server refuses to perform the request. This address is not available.

- I got it works around 1 hours with Opera Turbo.
- It could be my company banned Opera Turbo too, but some others site like whatismyipaddress.com are fine with Opera Turbo
- Or Stackoverflow banned Opera Turbo? may be because of high traffic on same ip (because its shared by many users?)
- I got 1 hour ok, so its mean banning is not permanent, may be just for few hours for high traffic?

still no clue till now. hopes it will be ok later. or I need to tunnel something with my servers.
