I just bought a new chair + desk, to make my working environment more comfortable. I don’t have any special room to use as office, so I’m just using some space in the corner of the bedroom. After rearranging this and that, here’s what it looks like now.
And that’s where I spend most of my time 
Besok, 17 Juni 2008 adalah tanggal resmi Firefox Download Day, dan aku iseng-iseng mampir lagi ke website mereka. Terus lihat ke bagian bawah, ada dropdown list untuk melihat berapa jumlah partisipan yang telah mendaftar dari negara tertentu. Aku coba bandingkan partisipan dari Indonesia dan beberapa negara lain, hasilnya (sekitar pukul 18:00 @ GMT+7):
- Indonesia: 5797
- Malaysia: 7745
- Singapore: 5935
- Philippines: 8213
Wah.. ternyata partisipan dari Indonesia masih kalah dari beberapa negara tetangga yang jumlah penduduknya jauh lebih sedikit. Kok begitu ya? Apakah mungkin jumlah pengguna Internet kita lebih sedikit dibandingkan beberapa negara tetangga tersebut? Atau mungkin juga karena sudah terbiasa pakai Internet Explorer? Kalo saya perhatikan memang pada umumnya orang-orang di Indonesia relatif lebih kaku/lembam, kurang semangat untuk mencoba hal-hal baru, termasuk Web Browser.
I am using prepaid Internet broadband service from IndosatM2, with 3 GB quota. Perhaps you’re using similar Internet service, with quota, just like me. And perhaps you’re agree with me that “braoadband” and “usage quota” are quite contradictive :).
Well… in order to save my quota, I’ve been using Flashblock with my favourite browser (read: Firefox). As the name implied, Flashblock works by disabling flash object on a page, and replace it with a small flash icon. You can enable/play the flash object by clicking the icon… nice eh ..
You can get Flashblock from here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/433
I have been using Firefox 3 RC 1 for a few days. I could only say that it is … amazing! I found it so stable, well … my Firefox crashed a few times while I am loading Silverlight content, it is not a surprise at all since the Silverlight plugin is in Beta version. I have tried to install many add-ons, and the Firefox is still working so well (Firefox 2 became so slow when I used many add-ons). The speed is amazing as well, and I feel it is the most noticable upgrade in Firefox.
Let’s support the Firefox Team by helping Firefox 3 break new world record. Subscribed yourself on the Firefox’s Download Day 2008.
Great job Firefox team!
PS: Actually I am using Firefox 3 RC 2 right now. They just release it today (it is dated June 4 2008 on their local time). I just upgraded it a few minutes ago. This new RC version must have been improved.
It’s been a long time since Google introduce its free web hosting: Google App Engine. Finally this afternoon I’m playing with it. First I need to setup an application on Google App Engine, which is really simple. Then follow this nice, easy-to-understand tutorial: http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/gettingstarted/. They made it easy to follow, so it wont take much time to create a simple guestbook application, just like this one I made: http://nano-lab.appspot.com/
You’re very welcome to visit and drop comment on my simple guestbook. What a wonderful afternoon.
Udah lama banget gak upgrade wordpress. Blogku ini meluncur lebih dari 7 bulan yang lalu dan blom pernah diupgrade (dasar malas). Tiap kali kepikiran sama blog, kepikiran harus update, jadi malas nulis deh.
Akhirnya hari ini aku update wordpress-nya. Ternyata upgrade-nya gak susah, tinggal download terus timpa yang lama; tapi sebaiknya folder wordpress yang lama di-backup dulu.
Semoga jadi tambah semangat dan rajin nulis lagi.
The first night race in Formula 1 history will be held in Marina Bay. It is a street circuit, making it more attractive grand prix to watch. I hope I could be there, watching the race live … [-o<
We can see the circuit preview, by opening this file using Google Earth: http://www.earthsg.com/model/F1-20070928.kmz

Need to setup a server for the company I worked for. First, I tried openSUSE 10.3, but then I realized that it loads too many applications by default, and decided to choose another Linux distro that customized for server. Then I chose Ubuntu Server, for some reasons: Read the rest of this entry »
It is a very good move from Nokia, which will launch S60-based devices with touchscreen UI. You can watch the preview from Youtube video here : Read the rest of this entry »
Bagi pengguna jalan yang sedang mudik lebaran, informasi mengenai kondisi jalan merupakan sesuatu yang sangat berharga. Ketika suatu ruas jalan macet parah, para pengguna jalan yang akan melewati daerah tersebut dapat diberi informasi untuk mengambil jalan alternatif, sehingga selain terhindar dari kemaceten, juga tidak memperparah kemacetan. Cell Broadcast merupakan salah satu teknologi yang dapat memungkinkan hal ini. Dengan tingkat penetrasi telepon seluler saat ini, kita mungkin percaya bahwa setidaknya ada satu telepon selular yang aktif pada setiap kendaraan di jalur mudik. Kerjasama antara Departemen Perhubungan atau Kepolisian dengan penyelenggara jaringan seluler dapat menghadirkan suatu layanan informasi berbasis lokasi yang akan sangat berguna bagi masyarakat.
