Yoake: Saya sudah menjelaskan

2008-01-23T15:15:35.729+01:00

Yoake: Saya sudah menjelaskan panjang lebar apa yang dimaksud dengan kalimat saya tersebut di artikel ini, bahkan dengan disclaimer "Either you’ll be surprised, you’ll think I’m crazy, you’ll reject me outright because of my baseless interpretation, or you’ll simply have to break your old and dusty and inflexibly restrictive frame of reference first." Satu arti lagi adalah cermin hati. Intinya saya bersyukur Allah menciptakan syaiton, karena dengan kehadiran mereka, kita sebagai makhluk Allah mempunyai alat atau tolak ukur untuk introspeksi diri. Saya kutipkan beberapa ayat yang saya anggap relevan: "(Jika demikian halnya) maka adakah orang yang beriman sama seperti orang yang fasik? Mereka tidaklah sama (dalam menerima balasan)." (QS. As-Sajda 32:18) Juga: "Dan sememangnya tidaklah sama orang yang buta dan orang yang melihat dan juga tidaklah sama orang-orang yang beriman serta beramal soleh dengan orang yang melakukan kejahatan. (Meskipun hakikat ini jelas nyata, tetapi) sedikit sangat kamu beringat dan insaf." (QS. Ghafir 40:58) Bila tertarik dengan topik ini, silakan baca kelanjutannya di: http://www.hendyirawan.com/2007/07/28/kita-butuh-musuh-lho/ Terima kasih.

Torrent-based downloads should be made more "commonstream" (commonly used and mainstream). It will make Internet bandwidth worldwide equally dispersable, rather than going through the same route/servers just to download something that you can get several miles away.

I'm not exactly a NetBeans evangelist, but it's seriously one hell of a good IDE. :-) Of course the best part is that it's free, which makes commercial IDEs have a tougher job. As I'm writing this, the NetBeans download server seem to be having intermittent problems :-(

Wow... everybody is talking about ThinkPad here... I own a Lenovo Y400, does anybody designing it is around here? Cause I've got some suggestions & critics for it: * Touchpad is too "center". Should move it a little bit to the left. Everybody knows why. * The hard-edged design is hard to the hands & wrists. * The keyboard is too "hard". It requires too much force to push the keys. * The speakers give mild electric shock, even when not connected to AC power. * My right speaker is stronger than left speaker. I'm not sure whether it's a design flaw or manufacturing flaw specific to my laptop. * What's up with the subwoofers? I don't even know if it works.

I own a Lenovo Y400... Not exactly a ThinkPad :) I suggest giving choice to as many distro as possible when ordering. I would vote for Kubuntu... and Ubuntu. The most important thing, though, is that if a user decides to install any recent GNU/Linux OS, whatever the distro is, things should all just-work. That is, there should be no external driver/support necessary from Lenovo CD etc. required to operate anything, especially hardware. In my experience, Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn didn't support Lenovo Y400's sound device out-of-the-box, and this was bad. Actually for this most important thing, Lenovo should work with the Linux kernel developers because that's where you should be. Test your hardware with the latest Linux kernels and if something went wrong, work with them to fix it. *ALL* distros will be affected (though it may take some time to propagate), guaranteed. About Lenovo Y400: * some patching is needed to alsasound to work correctly with Lenovo Y400, and it now outputs sound... although I'm not perfectly happy. I can't hear the subwoofer, and the balance is too right-speaker-oriented. It's probably a hardware flaw in mine since this also true in Windows. * I'm not sure if 3D/video works properly. I can get1280x800 resolution without much trouble. However 3D and video sometimes slow, sometimes not the way I like it. I don't use it too much as I'm a programmer so I don't really care. * I've never been able to use the memory card reader. I'm not even sure if it's a problem with the Linux driver for Lenovo's card reader or my Kubuntu installation. * Not sure about Firewire. I don't have any Firewire devices at the moment.

Seriously guys, let's do this!

Okay, the first thing that itches my finger is some spelling fix: At the end of the day, it’s not how hard you work — the would world couldn’t care less; it’s the results you produce. Now, result-oriented working... some very enterprisey-sounding phrase, but I've to agree. On to working for mutha-freaking-$$$ for 0 minutes per day... (a five-star Trizle article) ;-)

2007-03-17T07:45:36.788+01:00

I was quite 'afraid' when reading this article (in the accuracy side) because the brain is a very fragile subject that even current scientists with the latest researches aren't still really "sure" of how it really works. Some psychiatrists had misdiagnosed patients... and I was allegedly one of them (the patients, not the doctors, duh!). Heheh :-) 'To begin' (what a noise word that was?), as a fun suggestion: :-) "Keep us in touch when you win a Nobel." That particular sentence should've been 28pt sized, bolded, and using Arial Black.

Wow... It's 2007 already and we still have text editor "wars"... (or war of love :-) Had Plato already invented the first text editor, I think we'd still be having this conversation by now. :-)

Sepertinya saya harus belajar

2007-03-03T16:30:45.663+01:00

Sepertinya saya harus belajar banyak dari Umar. Saya sendiri juga nggak nyambung, kenapa Tuhan harus menciptakan "kemungkinan" untuk makhluknya menjadi jahat, menderita, rusak dll.? (why aren't everybody angels? no suffering etc.)

2007-02-28T07:17:00.788+01:00

Yep. True. Where to go from strength... there lies in my weaknesses. And from that, I need other people. I haven't had any company yet, but I usually ask my fellow friends where he/she's good at, or interested in. One example, a personal story: there is this girl studying Informatics at a college. She's currently on her final paper about Ruby on Rails [1], a web development platform. However, she also told me she loved interior design (as a hobby). So aide from helping her with Ruby on Rails, I also gave her a copy of Chief Architect [2]. I thought that may help her realize her dreams, no matter which one(s) she decided to pick. Or both. I'm not sure why I did that. I just wanted to see the things she's good at. I'm not even sure whether my [future] company will ever need her in the areas she's good at. At least I know I've made an effort to strengthen her skills in some areas she loves. Maybe that'll come in handy later. If not for me, then if it's good for her then I'm undoubtedly happy. :-) [1] www.rubyonrails.org [2] www.chiefarchitect.com

Wow... this is very refreshing

2007-02-19T05:42:45.934+01:00

Wow... this is very refreshing! This has only been proven scientifically in the past decade, and still growing to this conclusion. It's been there long ago from spirituality/meditation world. Sometimes humans are "stupid" enough not to realize something so simple...

2007-02-13T03:34:22.060+01:00

Yep, life always changes... constantly. It will be weird if we are expecting constant success without constant re-re-re-improvement in our business behavior. Very illogical. This is my first coincidence that I just blogged something related to this, titled Refresh Your Mind. Although in itself it is quoting yet another site... ;-)

Wow! This definitely should be the default bundled WordPress plugin ever! A minor step for WordPress, a major leap towards spamfree blogging!! :-)

2007-01-31T05:02:14.451+01:00

I fully agree... And I have some exceptions too. I have "Google Success Story" book and well, Google doesn't advertise. At least not in the beginning. And at least even until now you've never seen a "buy from Google" link do you? (Instead you see "ads from Google", thats Google helping people advertise, ouch) I never advertised GaulDong.net. Yet word of mouth has made it a victim of its own success. Down times. Stability problems. Yes it's my fault (technically) but it wouldn't be like that had it had fewer members & visitors. :-P *gee*
