WDMT over network?

Today, we were learning Samba in NAD710. Its great. I was so surprised there are a lot of options in Samba.

Anyway, the reason why i am bloggin it is, Raymond Chan told me that maybe I should use this in the project. Em... i think it's possible... cos supporting networking is just having one more module on the function that make sure the networking path is working.

It's "do-able". But i think it has to support post-install for sure...

Anyway.. do the first thing first.. ^^ code the basic function next week.

SYA710 - Kick Start, no kick no start..

In the lab today, we install Fedora 9 to our "born again PC" to use kick start. It went quite smooth... and I was lucky enough that John told me about we're missing partition config line before I burn a kick start DVD.

Then I went google and find the configuration page for fedora anaconda. Find the line is easy, cos they have the man page in one html page, just search "partition", vola!

Actually, i wanna blog more something behide this lab. Right now, I'm doing Windows Data Migration Tools, and I've always thinking that when I put WDMT work with anaconda, it's gonna be a tough job.. But, after having this lab, I have an other thinking. I may actually use anaconda to help me on user creation. But it may including a lot of text searching coding and making sure the config file as good as before WDMT edited it. Anyway, lets do it step by step, 0.2 in 2 weeks. ;-p

Windows Data Migration Tool - User Migration Functions Plan

I have just did some functions and structure planning for WDMT. Planning is always easy but important. And I'm sure plan will be changes when my Python knowledge increase.

Please leave a comment here or in my discussion board if you have any suggestion. Enoucouragement are always welcome. ^^

YOOO!!! HAPPY INDIAN NEW YEAR!!

Push.. push.. PUSH!!!

After this presentation, it made me think a lot. Raymond has such a great idea, having WDMT to run on network and support multi-machine. A server dose it all... wow.. this is something really big... I'm thinking installing the Norton Antivirus has such function. I don't think I can do it myself even the end of this course. But I think I can get someone else to work together for the extended functions. Or.. maybe it can work with FUNC?? I dunno...

So, I'm gonna push myself more forward. Instead of finish all basic function before this course, I'm planning to finish a test version within this semester. I'm not sure if I can do it, but.. I'll try my best.

It's just the matter of time... and hard work.

I'm always the Mr. Impossible anyway. ;-p

done presentation, yeah :-)

Today, we do the presentation for our project's first realease. Finally, it's over.

I had been so worry since before the class. Since there was so many small things happens last night. My fedora wifi didn't work, presentation file got screwed up. And my hands was literately shaking before my turn. But I kept my energy and the presentation went smoothly. Althought I missed some gimmick that I was prepared.

And the comments was good to. Patrice said I kept every one energy up, and she likes the pictures moving in the slices. I felt confidence when answering questions. And I guess I answered them right. I was actually relax in Q&A. I have to that iPhone and google phone, cos I learn a lot in their presentation. And... If u have watch gem before, you know who is better. :-p

Yeah, the project sounds like lack of funtions. But I believe I can make it better in a year, it will be as good as the one in Ubuntu. Maybe even better. Another thing is, people may think it's lack of functions, but on the other hand, it has potiential!!!

If the project is successfull, we can do all migration and maybe work with some other module to have network, multi PC, LDAP support. But at that time maybe other people will be working on it instead of me.

I believe it was a good start. And I have more confidence on it and I now I have higher expectation to myself.
