Stay up2date with the current traffic situations around KL with ITIS (Integrated Transport Information system).

There are 2 services I like from ITIS. First is the “traffic images” which are live images from the various CCTV cameras setup along our roads. Second being “real time traffic information” areas.

Areas currently covered in traffic images;

KL-Seremban Highway
Federal Highway
Jalan Tun Razak
Jalan TAR
Jalan Kinabalu
Bukit Jalil
Jalan Kuching
Jalan Raja Laut
Jalan Loke Yew
MRR2
Lebuhraya Mahameru
Jalan Duta
Jalan Damansara

HongKiat.com was defaced yesterday. He lost his database and 2-3 days of posts.

Hong Kiat’s Fix:

1. Upgrade to WordPress 2.2.1

Changing your Linux machine’s hostname is easy. Just follow the steps below.

root# hostname [new-host-name]

HOSTNAME=[new-host-name]

root# vi /etc/hosts

root# service network restart
