Linux and Internet Radio

Can Linux play internet radio? Sure it can. (That's what the Net advertise)

But, I'm currently using linux's modern player: Amarok. No sound and it sucks! (Freeze!)

I googling a while, and found streamtuner. Still no luck, though I have inserted my proxy server, and it just opened XMMS and nothing happened.

And then, I found that a man bragging about his mplayer playing his internet radio. Then, I opened my Yakuake (cool console, addictive one) and type:

# export http_proxy=XXXXX
# export HTTP_PROXY=$http_proxy
# gmplayer

And I inserted a url from shoutcast.com. Voila! It rocks!

Btw, this is sucks. Why a modern linux player such as Amarok failed to play internet radio just right out of the box? Are they trying to mimic M*******t just making good UI and lost functionality? Why on earth a ten years technology (that should be rusty enough) such as XMMS and MPlayer are the only answers to play such technology?

Ah, the misjudge me! The proxy server is not set that's why Amarok cannot play my playlist. Well, it works like a charm. Great!

STAN vs. UI

Ugh, kasihan banget adek gue. Saking kepinteran dia jadi dapet Akuntansi UI dan STAN. Jadi bingung mau masuk yang mana. Beberapa orang (termasuk orang tua gue), menyarankan masuk STAN. Gue malah memperburuk suasana dengan membela memasuki Akuntansi UI, maklum bela almamater. Duh, gue jadi merasa bersalah bikin dia ragu-ragu. Kira-kira enakan masuk mana, yah? Gue juga gak tahu keuntungan masing-masing. Hasil debat sementara: ~ Untuk jangka panjang masuk UI, untuk jangka pendek STAN. ~~Tapi, dia itu kan cewek, ntar pas menikah kemungkinan besar karir terhambat. Eits, ntar, dulu, sekarang kan jamannya emansipasi, bisa aja cowoknya yang jadi BRT. ~ STAN sarang korupsi, kalo masuk STAN jadi pegawai negeri. Kalo mau kaya harus korupsi. Tapi kalo masuk UI, lulus masuk jadi akuntan publik. Sekarang ini, orang membayar akuntan publik untuk memanipulasi nilai pajak dan aset. *SIGH*. Jadi gak ada yang beres ~ dll. Yah, udah gue jadi bingung, apa lagi dia nanya saran gue. Buah, gue gak pengalaman ...

I Hate Marvel Civil War Storyline In Comic

See this snippets from The Amazing Spiderman: [1] http://scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/4625006.html The snippets on [1] made it clear: Stan Lee made Spidey have a strong believe in Privacy. The comic strips show how Spidey even have to face charges because of his anonymity. The accuser even made many accusation to other entities for political attacks. A fan-art/art I've found in the 90's illustrated Spiderman standing in front of Peter Parker tomb. I don't know if that was originally from comic book or fan-made, 90's are a long time ago. That art mesmerized me and introduced me to the importance of privacy. In late nineties, I was joined to a program hold by an NGO. So, at that time I know how crucial a privacy was (and still is) to humanity. I'm not exaggerating! Humanity would fall to big financial organizations if people could not voice their fears in anonymity. Whistleblowers around the world would not dare to come up. We would not see any suppression ge...
