Tahun baru datang lagi. Dan utk menyambut tahun baru ni, tiada cara yg lebih baik lagi selain dgn menukar layout baru. Yeaaarggh. Pada korang yg baca lalu RSS reader tu mari2lah datang sini tengok. Layout baru yg hijau2 ni lagi simple and clean. Rasanya lebih senang nak baca kan? Kat kiri ni dia boleh toggle tau display dia. Tekan tanda “+” utk expand. Dengan mouse lah, ko tekan dgn jari buat apa. Buat mcm ni boleh kurang serabut sikit la. Blog aku ni penuh perkataan je. Amacam? OK? Any comments?

Tahun 2005 utk aku has been quite ok la jugak, but of course it could be better (eheh, manusia mana pernah puas). Harap2 tahun depan akan lebih baik lagi. Bukan shj lebih baik, tapi juga lebih menarik, lebih kaya, lebih bersungguh2, lebih pandai, dan lebih kurus. Yeaarghh. Mcm biasa la hujung2 tahun ni, ramai orang pakat2 pasang azam tahun baru. Dan ramai jugaklah yg officially gagal utk capai azam tahun lama, masa dah tamat dude. Tapi takpe, boleh carry forward ke tahun baru apa. Baki bawa ke hadapan.

Pertukaran tahun jugak bermakna usia anti-keseronokan juga dah bertambah. Sebab my first post was on Disember 29th, so kita sambut sekali la ye. Tutup buku 2005 bermaksud sudah 2 tahun anti-keseronokan menyampaikan dakyah dan kata2 karut kepada masyarakat umum. Terima kasih berbakul2 la pada korang para pengunjung yg sudi singgah ke blog yg tak seberapa ni. Terutama pada yg sanggup membuang masa dan tenaga menulis comment kat sini. Arigato! Pada yg belum pernah tulis comment tu, sudi2lah tulis ye. Malahan pula sempena tahun baru ni, anti-keseronokan akan mebuka satu tawaran hebat. 100 penghantar comment terawal akan berpeluang utk menulis comment sekali lagi! Wow, jgn lepaskan tawaran hebat ini!! (Bateri dijual berasingan).

Selamat Happy New Year! Semoga tahun 2006 lebih baik utk kita berbanding tahun ini.

[Update]It’s 1st Jan already. And I’m stuck here in front of my PC. Owh, what an anti-keseronokan new year’s eve this is.. yay!

This is a half-guide to copy a Microsoft SQL database from a server to another server. Why half? I’ll explain that later.

Two really easy way to do this is by 1) doing an Attach/Detach database commands, and 2) through Backup/Restore. I am explaining the second method, because what I have at hand right now is exactly that situation.

Ok, I already have a backup file from the source server copied somewhere into the distination server machine. So I’ll start from here. This is why I call this a “half-guide”. It starts from halfway, the restore part only :)

1) From the SQL Server Enterprise Manager, find the “Restore Database” either from the main menu “Tools > Restore Database…”, or by right-clicking the Databases folder and choosing “All Tasks > Restore Database…”.

2) In the Restore Database dialog, pick a name where you want to restore the database as. And then choose to restore “From Device”. Click the “Select Device” button to select the device (duuuuh :).

3) Then, this is where you choose the backup file that you wanted to restore. Click “Add” and locate the file. SQL Server backup files is saved with “.BAK” extension. Click OK when you finish selecting.

4) Back in the Restore Database dialog, in the “Options” tab page, choose the path that you want the database files to be restored as. And the finally click OK.

Done. Just sit and wait until the progress bar filled up. I’ll leave the other part for you to Google with. Attaching and Detaching database is even easier, you may want to try that as well.

I got my daily dose of Dilbert through RSS. It’s from Tapestry Comics, where you can get feeds of other comics as well. Although sometimes I don’t understand his joke, but when I do, I really like it very much. But there’s one thing’s been bothering me since the first time I saw him. Why does Dilbert’s tie curl up like that? Googling the web gave me some answers

Go to Google and click on the Google image. Holiday Doodle?? They’re up to something. Let’s see if tomorrow they’ll put up another pic.

LOL. A brilliant joke by Raymond Lewallen. Actually the truth is, we as developer tend to rely on testings to get things done. That’s the nature of our job, and later absorbed into our mind over time. That’s why it’s very dangerous if a software developer changes career to like a sugeon or something.

Last time Eric Wise blogged about The Mythical Super Programmer. To keep the yin yang in balance, he has a follow-up entry on the super villains. This is a rather old post, but I just read it. Sometimes it’s so true that it’s not funny anymore. I hate “The Anti-Google”, especially those who post their spoon-feeding requests in the forums.

Hari ini aku pakai stoking sebelah lain sebelah lain. Nak tahu kenapa hari ini aku pakai stoking sebelah lain sebelah lain? Sebab semalam aku terpakai stoking sebelah lain sebelah lain. Aku hari-hari tukar stoking. Sebelah sudah pakai semalam, jadi hari ini aku pakai yang lagi sebelah.
