Shortening with tinyurl.com or bit.ly

2009-03-31T12:22:00.003+02:00

Either http://tinyurl.com/ and http://bit.ly/ are shortening your long URL address. Yet, I'd liked to see the name of the website before I enter the site. Yes they have "term of use", but I am used to identify the name of the website in advance then decide to go or not. For twitter it is necessary, but otherwise give me the whole full address please.

I am back

2009-03-31T12:10:00.003+02:00

After more than a year taking a break from blogging, I am back. So many things happening last year that kept me away from blogging, but now I am hoping to blog more intensively with more interesting stuffs. Meanwhile, I twitt too and at a moment building CMS-based website. Gain new hobby, namely photography (very new and still craving for a Canon camera) and photoshopping (not so new, but new in

Video Clip Amy Winehouse

2008-01-31T19:46:00.000+01:00

Video clip Amy Winehouse: Go back to black. Haven't seen the video before and i just like the music as much as i like the video. She must be a little bit weird to be able to sing and create music like that. Very exotic tho. If you read all about Amy Winehouse in Perezhilton.com, she is one of a kind.I just say, keep up the good work. We love Amy Winehouse.Here is the lyrics.

Steve's Keynote (Jan. 2008)

2008-01-16T11:04:00.000+01:00

I am late for work today, because of Steve's keynote. Terrible!! but it's worthed to watch, although at some point it's kinda annoying the way audiences kept on praising at every single ends of Steve's sentence.A quick summary to Steve's keynote (you can see the whole video by your self here or a summary here):iPhone/iPod touch got new apps like map - still not GPS, sending SMS to more than 1

Chess mania

2007-12-27T14:57:00.000+01:00

I hate chess, i love chess. A disease can not be cured.Used to play in yahoo, but now more often in shredder computer chess. It's a PC chess program maker, but you can also play it online for free, no java, no flash, no rude players.Good ways to learn more moves, tricks and to be careful on what you are guarding. Also available in google widget as daily puzzle, they call it.

For everybody all around the world i wish you...

Lucu deh!!

2007-11-05T17:38:00.000+01:00

Just found out this interesting blog called lucudeh.com. "Lucu deh" in English means "oh, it's so funny". It's interesting cos it only sells funny t-shirts, caps, etc - well, funny for Indonesians who live aboard. However, since this is a blog the administrator must be a hell one creative person to be able to fill the blog with entries. The entries are also funny if you could understand the

It's FlauntR baby

2007-10-28T15:49:00.000+01:00

Another excellent web based application. FlauntR offers a slick way to edit you pictures. It works astoundingly perfect with flickr and offers you to work on an apple-like GUI applications. An interesting feature is to be able to get the right size of your profile pictures on some of Network sites. It converts for example for Friendster, Blogger, Xing and many more. However, i am surprise that

Radiohead: Revolution against piracy

2007-10-20T17:34:00.000+02:00

What a great revolutionary idea to let your fans download the new Radiohead album, "In Rainbows", came out last week Wednesday for free, or not if you are willing to pay and only if you are willing to pay. No pressure, no string attach. A natural way to see what appreciation they get as one of the greatest band in the world. Music industry is finally not all about the money. I've been Radiohead's

Things to know about the enemy in your head before it hurts someone else

2007-10-13T12:36:00.000+02:00

Your brain is not your friend:It all seems rather hopeless, but I’m optimistic. Knowing how our minds get in their own way, we can catch these behaviors and put them right — or put them to work for us.

Screw social network websites

2007-09-19T11:21:00.000+02:00

Yeah screw them. Look on how many of them i am registered: Friendster, Studivz, Xing/OpenBC, Facebook, Multiply, Linkedin, Pownce, Myspace, Tagged, Twitter, Unihelp and of course last but not least Blogger. Crazy hah!Should not complain tho, but it's so time consuming and addicting. I feel like stalker sumtime. You know getting information of others secretly. It's not healthy, you know.Anyway, as

Ultraviolet

2007-09-19T10:45:00.000+02:00

After The Ting Tings and Meiko, Ultraviolet now published their gorgeous musics in myspace. Damn good they are. "Dead on the dance floor" remains me of Elastica but better. Check out here.

Perez Hilton, not Paris Hilton

2007-07-20T07:14:00.000+02:00

Referring to my post in Cash Flow Blogging, Perez Hilton the celebrity blogger gets up to 39,000 unique visitors in Dec. 2006. He doesn't have blood connection or whatsoever with Paris Hilton, but he certainly sells the name Hilton in the internet very well."He currently lists at number 21 on the Technorati list of 100 most linked-to blogs. (It's surprising he ranks this high, as others have

Free templates

2007-07-20T05:54:00.000+02:00

Why bother to create your own website, when you can get it for free? The idea to "sell" website templates went directly to trash as i saw this website. They do not only have templates for websites, but also logos and flash websites. Damn cool. Check out: www.templatesbox.com.

The Ting Tings: Glastonbury2007

2007-07-19T07:22:00.000+02:00

He earns more ever since he created the website on January 2007, than what he got from his work. It's amazing how internet could be your life support source.

HOWTO: add new mac icons

2007-07-04T11:13:00.000+02:00

As stupid as it is, adding new icons in apple computer is unthinkable. I finally figured it out after about half of a day intensive surfing and it goes as follows:Highlight the file on which icon you want to change, click "info". Info can be found by right clicking the file or it also can be found on top of finder.Open the folder where the new icons are saved, highlight the desired icon then

Lobbying

2007-06-21T11:28:00.000+02:00

Google just opened a blog to write about any topics related to politic issues (or maybe more). They call it the "lobbying engine". The term lobbying is getting too familiar to me. My new lesson in live. Not easy at all. More difficult than any technical complication, but it's getting interesting somehow. Maybe one day i can do it well. I wonder what kind of personality a person needs to be

A classic dilemma of a currupted country

2007-05-14T04:59:00.000+02:00

I am working on a "high tech" controlling system for transportation system in Indonesia, yet the government doesn't seem like interested to invest as much as the research required. The main reason is extra cost on maintenance and/or operation. To increase the ticket fare is not solution in this case, seeing that most of people who uses the public transportation is common people with little food

Indonesian Blog

2007-01-26T12:46:00.000+01:00

For my 3-month internship in Jakarta, we have created an extra blog called hari-ini. Hari-ini means today in Indonesian. In that blog you can also find some pictures about all around us. Maybe i can give back the good impression on Indonesian after all bad news that you hear outside the country.

Rusty, the labrador with 69.8kg

2007-01-12T16:37:00.000+01:00

Poor Rusty (or lucky?). He got fed too much by 2 UK brothers, which now were found guilty under court process. Look at him saying: "No more food, can't take it anymore". I wonder why dogs can not say no to food. Most of them will just eat and eat and eat.

2006-12-30T22:01:00.000+01:00

Funny how time flies. I was looking forward to this 1 week off from work and now only couple days left before work starts again. It's a good sign. A sign that i enjoy life. But why does life is so short when i am enjoying it and so long when i am in deep shit?A dilema that everyone has. Stuck on it or work it out. I am learning.

A couple of time i wrote part of the my paper at work and at the end of the day i have to send it over to home in case i want to work more on it.

Yesterday was thanks giving party in our apartment. Nothing special. All went like always. Very calm with a lot of eating, talking and laughing. We played board game and a free style game from Gregory. This year however, is not so merry as previous years. Celebrated it with only few good left friends of Mindy. It has been my 4th thanks giving ever and would probably carry on the culture even

Things like this that keep me overwhelm from the invention of website technology. It's amazing what internet offers you from day by day. Stuff like flickr, del.ic.ious, digg and of course blogs are still a very astonishing concept to me.

I found this on google personalised start site and found it interesting.So this is how you look at it. The last 2 columns are second, the next 2 are minutes and the first 2 are hours.
