Yesterday I spent some time to play around with Monowall. Monowall is an embedded firewall package, thats built from bare-bone version of FreeBSD. The whole package is really small, smaller than 12MB, it can fit into your CF card for your embedded project. I start to have a look into Monowall when my boss bring this machine into our office, an embedded box, Axiomtek NA-0042B. I couldn’t find any technical spec in detail of the product, even from the official Axiomtek website.

So, in my case, I’m using a generic-pc image, from one of the monowall mirrors. I load the image into another vmware virtual machine, load the image into a secondary image of the machine.

The disk is available for download here Monowall Disk for VMware. I’ve also prepared a complete vmware machine with monowall. Please download it here, Monowall VMware Image.. This machine have been configured with IP 192.168.1.254. Username & password are the same as default, admin and mono respectively.

I’ll have a look into IpCop and pfSense later. Never get my hands tired with them yet. Maybe some other Monowall derivative as well

What a perfect day.. I got an offer to handle canyoneering at Sungai Pisang, Jalan Gombak, handling around 25 students, I forgot from where.. The rope installation take a few minutes, and after all of them took breakfast, everyone tried canyoneering, at the waterfall. Some of them even ask for twice Canyoneering is actually abseiling activity at waterfall.

This month surely a great month for some of us. There will be nurse day on 12th May, Mothers day on 13th May and Teachers day on 16th May.

All those 3 are people in our society that have played a big role, in our development. In facts, many aspect of our development, especially humanly development. They have put their life in helping, to build up a good community where we live in.

This is a good moment where we should appreciate what they have done. It doesn’t mean this is the only time they need to be remembered, but these days are a good day where we should do it together. I symbol of appreciation from us.

Happy Nurse Day, Happy Mothers Day and Happy Teachers Day

All 18 of us have came back from International Pahang River Rafting Expedition. This is a very tiring journey, as all 18 of us do rafting all 8 days without any replacement. Most of the team there have extra team members who will take over their place. But for us, we grab all the 8 days through Pahang River.

What a nice thing about this years event is we got more days on the water, means our skin are darker. hohohoo.. Everyone I met are suprised of the skin chang, including my lecturer. He could not even recognize me! All the participans got nice souvenirs from the locals and organizers.

At every stop, we were celebrated by the local people, it was very nice. There are also concerts, mainly performing cultural activities. There are also Amir Ukays, Karen AF4, and so many more. I could not catch all the performance as we do not have enough time to manage our team. We do not have ground crew to settle our campsite and everything. Thanks to our friends from UKM who help us out with the campsite.

I dont have digital camera, and not yet manage to get all the pictures from my friends. I will upload as soon as I got all the pictures.

One more post before going to Pahang for International Pahang River Rafting Expedition

As for this year, Bukit Fraser Development Board will be organizing another series of International Pahang River Rafting Expedition. For this year, I wont miss it! I will be joining fellow IIUM students to the event. Start from 29th April until 6 May 2007

I went to last year event, and it was so nice, and great. The previous journey are from Temerloh to Pekan. For this year, it will be from Kuala Lipis to Pekan, almost double the distance compared to last year. Huhuu..

I’m still figuring out how I could check my emails, and do anything la on internet along the journey. We will stop at various villages along the river. Might need someone else to do the job. Can huh?

Btw, wish me luck during the journey, will report for the event once got internet connection
