8.01, finally passed it
Subject 8.01 of my 2B class license it about going though all the test route without scoring more than 18 pts. I manage to get 16 pts on my third attempt, after previously getting 22 pts and 12 pts with 1 immediate failure on my second and first try.
The final TP test will be on May. I’m gonna book a coupe of revisions 1 or 2 days prior to that.

Assassins Creed
Despite of all the hangs, I finally managed to finish this game. It’s great game I must say. Although what you do will be eventually kinda repetitive, but I don’t mind that much climbing up and down houses, stabbing and slashing bad guys at will, and saving all those innocent people. It’s a shame that the xbox controller didn’t work for this game. It would’ve been cool to take my hands off the keyboard for the hours I’m playing it.
My Rating: 9/10 (ignoring the crashes)

Hacking Linkstation Live Pro2
NAS is a great device to be hacked. Unlike hacking a router, you’ll eventually ended up having storage issues. With NAS, you can increase the system partition size easily, by growing the size of that partition.
LSPro is a pretty common and easy to hack. Everything you need to know about hacking this baby is written at http://buffalo.nas-central.org/
I recommend using Freelink http://buffalo.nas-central.org/index.php/FreeLink_for_the_Linkstation_Pro as it will give you a full blown debian distribution running on your tiny little NAS (with huge storage of course).
It’s now not only serving shared folder, but also running Apache with mod_python to serve MoinMoin wiki. Great stuff…

The passing of a great man
My father passed away on this day. I’m posting it here to remind myself how great he was. I hope that he knew how much we all respected and loved him. He left a loving and loyal wife, 7 fine children, 6 son/daughter in laws and 10 grandchildren. He has worked hard to keep the family happy, sadly, he didn’t quite got the taste of the fruit of his labor. Our prayers will always be with you, Dad. Thank you. We love you!

PyTables Data Sharing
PyTables is a great API layer for handling HDF5 format in python. Unfortunately the API does not support networking capabilities yet, i.e. client-server communication model.
There are 3 possible approach that we can look forward to.
- PyDap – This data access protocol is meant for more general purpose. It has been working well particularly for csv format. For HDF5 however, there are still missing support for tables format.
- CSTables – This is supposedly a native extension of PyTables, too bad the development stopped at only version 1. Which only works for PyTables version 1. The new PyTables (ver 2 and above) has got a lot of changes to the original API. Hence, if we were to make CSTables work with the new version, significant changes are required to the code.
- Share the DB file directly to the network, and let everyone access it in read-only mode. This method has proven to be successful so far. However, it’s only going to be read-only mode, as we don’t know for sure the implication of having multiple rw access to the raw file.

EFS Scripting
ESignal’s EFS is pretty neat. The IDE allows you to capture/stream market data, and by using their API you can write scripts to process the data and analyze it with, again, their API or your own, which you wrote in EFS.
EFS has the same syntax as Javascript, the same javascript that powered most of browser scripting. Of course the javascript has been trimmed down and sized up to suit to their API. All of which you can find in their API documentation.

bash scripting
Iterate files inside folder:
for fn in "$SOURCE"/*csv
do
#operation
echo "$fn"
done
The quotes are necessary to handle path with spaces.
Use this command to erase unwanted lines:
sed '//d' < input.foo > output.bar
This is to print a certain column from a stream of input:
awk '{print $x}' where x is the desired column number.
To list just the file name and size of a folder:
ls -l | awk '{print $8, $5}'
To read only second column of a csv file:
awk -F , '{print $2}' < input.foo
