Bus Mania

https://www.facebook.com/groups/457620199352897/permalink/468882948226622/ There is a trend in Indonesia where people love to follow and take video of bus traveling. Those people often get called as maniac by other people. The reason is because their dangerous behavior driving motorcycle without honoring the law.  They will spot a bus and will take convoy to video the bus. The dangerous thing is they often drive on the blind spot. Also, they can take all the road making all other vehicles can't get through them.  There is also a trend in Indonesia that loves to listen buses and trucks horn. They will wait on the side of the road where buses or trucks usually passing through. They will call out to any bus/truck, "Om! telolet, Om!"  which translate to, "Mister! Honk your horn, Mister." Strange addiction. 

Make Drumpf Great Again

People were shocked when they found out that Donald Trump was winning the 2016 election. They couldn't believe what was happening. As of this writing, there are still people marching against this. Many of the US people neglected their right to vote. Considering election day in their country not a holiday, which is ridiculous, I too can't blame them for that. Someone needs to put food on the table. The most shocked people were the political comedians. You could check their Youtube accounts. Some of them might looked like having trouble to go to sleep. They all are rooting for Democratic candidate, Clinton. Funny, thought,  John Oliver admits that he might be suggesting some people to vote for Trump just for fun. Well, you could see how many celebrities reacted . Why did Trump wins? I don't want to speculate for any conspiracies, but I am interested in knowing how Trump can win elections. This is a blog entry that sums my finding so I think I want to relax my writ...

When Entertainment Enters Your Living Room

We see children every day thrown out into the streets. We see every day injustice happen and we keep our silence. We are killing this tiny little part of ours that was called compassion. It isn't needed in this 21st century of rat race. We have too much in our hands. Besides, we all live in a good neighbourhood. All of these violence scenes are nothing but mere entertainments brought by the media. We enjoy it as a dose of daily show. Someday, those children be adults without proper education. Those opressed become villains. Those that being bullied stand on firm ground. And they decided to provide the entertainment live at our living room. Only this time, we participated as victims. Please, do something before it starts.

The Truth Is Out There...

I have been wondering lately: If DPR is house of people's representatives then how can people fired those that incompetent? If DPR is open to people then why it has walls and fences that could stand zombie apocalypse? If DPR is a house of democracy then why don't they let one of the yard become a place where people could shout instead letting them in the street in front of its gate? This morning, I've been foked . In the midst of the jam, I asked to my self: Why won't people protesting by not submitting to the police raiders that accompanying any car? Why don't we just not let them got through the traffic and let them get stuck with us also? I mean, they should eat their own dog food. To have the effect of their own shitty policies. And one last question, why won't we force them to use public transportation at least once a week? Is this kind of protest protected by law? As inspired by many tweets: "Naik Angkot diperkosa, naik bus dicopet,...

No Title of Love

I see an alarming trend of posting something shaky mind (labil). I would like to be able to participate in the trend. But, what should I tell? I hope this is quite labil. I am a man born from families of two worlds. My mother was born in a wealthy family. OTOH, my father was a missionary son. So, I have a glimpse of both world. I often got invited by them to go to some restaurants. I love them, they are flamboyant. They love to dress casually, so casually that we often misunderstood as poor people. Well, I am but not them, ha... ha... ha.... There was a time in a restaurant when the waiter said something rude to us because of our clothes. I felt very insulted that crossed on my mind: "Is this the country that I need to serve and protect?" I mean, won't you felt insulted when you were entering a restaurant and suddenly the waiter told your family, "Sir, our meal costs one million rupiah." WTH? Did he think we would blindly coming into the place without k...

Dark Theme Friendly

Dear web developers, hear my cry. I have dark theme which I find amusing to the eyes of sleepless people. It goes well with my editing document and doing anything but accessing the website. I know that I can place my own CSS and override yours like what I do to my Opera. But, I do have sentimental feeling about the original artwork. So, I leave my Swiftfox as is. The problem is you CSS-ing the form box, but you forgot to CSS-ing its font. Now I can have a white form box with grey-to-nearly-white font. Neat. So, I would add an addendum for the consideration of building a good site is: Resolution: 1024x786 minimum for example. Browser: IE vs. the rest of the world's browser. Site user: visibility issues, disabled people, and demographic. Site owner: corporate site to personal blog. Theme the user use. There you go.

Zaman Yang Sama: Lahirnya Demokrasi

Hehehe... gw akhirnya paham. Saat ini sama seperti Era Demokrasi dulu (1955-1959). Partai-partai dipenuhi orang-orang yang pengen tampil. Tapi, seperti kata Bung Hatta: "Bukan dalam Maklumat Wakil Presiden 3 November 45 yang menegaskan adanya demokrasi terletak kesalahan, tetapi dalam partai-partai dan para pemimpin yang lupa daratan" [1] Mudah-mudahan seperti kata Bung Hatta, waktu di mana setiap partai mulai mawas diri akan tiba sehingga bangsa ini mulai melihat masalah dan bangkit tidak hanya berkutat kepada permasalahan siapa yang pantas memimpin bangsa ini. Mudah-mudahan kita juga belajar untuk tidak seperti dahulu, demokrasi yang anarkis yang justru melahirkan kediktatoran. ~lagiGandrungSemangatNasionalisme. Referensi: [1] TEMPO.

Name That Shalt Forbidden

If you have a child, don't ever take following names as the child name. Not these names are bad luck, but they can bring misfortune to today's technology, or we call it IT. #1 A Name That Shall Be An Anonymous. Don't name your child as " John Doe " or " Jane Doe ". The name is restricted in use of example and considered by smart IT people as non-existence name. It will not be considered and any forms that required to input a name will reject that given name. Do you wish your son/daughter to have a discriminative act as he/she cannot sign up for the given service because of a name? #2 A Name That Failed To Sanitize Don't name your child as "drop table", "die", "echo", or any reserved words of programming. You will never know when a programmer decided to not sanitize an input. Any names that isn't ASCII would also bring misfortune in these UTF-8, althought a name in name of a foreigner is alright in their own system. ...

Nila Setitik Rusak Susu Sebelanga

Gw benar-benar emosi ini! Satu-satunya hiburan rakyat di tempat gw (YouTube.com) itu gak bisa diakses melalui provider XXX. Secara, gw gak punya tv di sini dan YouTube adalah satu-satunya tempat buat hiburan. Emangnya seperti apakah film Fitna itu? Gw sampe sekarang juga gak niat nonton. Apakah sedemikian tidak berbesar hatinya orang-orang Islam di Indonesia sehingga memblokir SEITAP situs yang memuat Fitna? Padahal, menurut saya, orang Islam itu bukan orang bodoh! Mereka juga tahu mana yang benar dan mana yang tidak. Kalau tidak, sudah lama di Indonesia terjadi perang saudara dan saya tidak akan duduk dalam kantor yang sama dengan mereka dan kami takkan disebut sebagai saudara sebangsa dan setanah air. Siapakah yang memegang kebijakan ICT di Indonesia? Anda tahu, kan, di Internet sekarang ini mendapatkan Warez sudah tidak seperti dulu lagi. Sulit sekali! Lagipula, hukum Anda hanya berlaku untuk domain .co.id dan beberapa .com yang hosting di sini. Cara untuk memutuskan hukum Anda adal...

Catching Up, Microsoft?

After the mess taking a rip off out of Mac, Microsoft will try another rip off. The Direct X11 which GNU/Linux had for years, now will be implemented in Windows 7. Inspired from: [1] http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=505476&cid=22923064

Why GNU/Linux Not So Popular in Indonesia

http://yahyakurniawan.net/linux/5-kesalahan-pengguna-linux-terhadap-newbie/ memberikan 5 buah alasan mengapa GNU/Linux tidak populer di Indonesia. Hal yang perlu saya kritisi adalah mengenai cara Beliau mengulasnya. Berikut adalah apologetik saya mengapa GNU/Linux tidak populer. #1 Karena sering menjelekkan produk Windows. Ini adalah hal yang sering terjadi dan lumrah dipersaingan produk, seperti Pepsi Cola vs. Coca Cola. Lagipula, kebanyakan pengguna GNU/Linux adalah seorang advokat. Jika Anda melihat forum-forum di luar negeri termasuk forum Ubuntu, alasan perpindahan dari Windows ke GNU/Linux adalah sebagai berikut: Seorang mahasiswa dan GNU/Linux menawarkan fleksibilitas serta komunitas di kampusnya. Seorang yang sudah bosan dengan virus yang banyak. Seorang yang diberitahu oleh teman dan mencoba. #2 Mengatakan bahwa pengguna Windows adalah pencuri. Ini lebih kepada lemahnya kesadaran hukum di Indonesia. Kalau tentang ini tidak ada yang bisa dilakukan selain bertanya perlukah pe...

What A Nice Statement!

Liat dari sini , gw agak miris dengernya. Siapakah yang menyatakan dot edu itu tidak nasionalis? Bukankah membanggakan bila UI(dot)EDU dimiliki oleh Universitas Indonesia, bukan oleh University of Illinois, University of India, atau universitas lainnya. Mengapakah sebagian orang gak bisa melihat sisi yang bagus dari banyak hal? Ini kayak waktu Nadine jadi Miss Indonesia dan ikutan Miss World. Gw rasa protes keras di Indonesia juga yang menyebabkan dia menjadi sangat tertekan dan grogi sampai salah ngomong begitu. Seharusnya kita semua memberikan dukungan karena dia membawa harum Indonesia. Apalagi, dia sempat membuat kagum juri utama dan berpeluang untuk menang. Kayak ormas yg mengaku-ngaku atas nama agama memboikot Mc.D yang notabene memberikan lapangan kerja lebih banyak bagi semua orang. Apakah mereka ingin negara ini seperti Iran, memberikan retorika tetapi ekonomi semakin hancur? Rakyat mungkin senang pada awalnya dengan retorika. Akan tetapi, kebutuhan pokok akan membuat mereka...

F(N)AQ

After attending the INAICTA, Indonesia ICT Award, I am a little upset. Yeah, I know I shouldn't, we have just been selected to become one of the grand finalists. But, still... I wish people would have Frequently Asked Question about research and development: - Cool, how do you develop that? - Can I have reference of your works? - Hmm.. the technology, can this implemented on x stuff? - I have a great idea, bla.. bla.. bla.., what do you think? - If I'm trying to develop another project, what should I do? - What problem could be solved by this? - What is the future of the project? Yet, those become Frequently [Never] Asked Question. What's wrong with you people? Why I'm suddenly feel ashamed to be an Indonesian? Isn't research about the long term investation? I know that few of them were invitation to work with us. But, why not a single quote I heard about the research? Why people always asking us about the money stuff? Am I wrong, or most of the people can't us...

Prinsip Yang Dipegang

Gw bisa, tapi apakah orang lain bisa? Ini pertanyaan cukup nyeleneh, tapi contoh gampangnya adalah pas bulan puasa, gw makan es krim di tengah jalan siang bolong. Boleh, gak, gw? Menurut lo gimana? Ato gini, pas orang lagi kena bencana banjir, trus rumah gw karena di atas jadi gak kena banjir. Trus, gw tutup gerbang supaya gak dijadiin tempat pengungsian. Boleh, gak, gw? Menurut lo gimana? Itu semua, kan, punya gw semua. Boleh, dong. Gw gak rugiin orang lain, kok. Tahu, gak, membeli sebuah aplikasi komersil sekarang ini adalah sebuah kewajiban bukan sebuah pilihan. Saat ini sebagian besar orang tahunya pake doang. Abis itu, hampir semua orang (termasuk gw kali, yah) ud lupa kalo negara ini adalah negara hukum. Nah, biar tambah sip, orang-orang kebanyakan ud kemakan propaganda. Asyiknya lagi, ada orang2 yang mampu untuk memberikan sebuah pilihan. Orang-orang itu namanya praktisi ICT. Orang-orang ini mampu, namun mereka milih ikut mainstream. Toh, mereka bisa memilih mau ke mana mereka...

Menjudulkan Postingan

Apakah yang membuat orang ingin membaca suatu wacana? Tentunya sebuah judul yang terpampang. Tulisan yang dibuat menonjol dengan besar huruf dan ketebalan yang lebih dibandingkan dengan tulisan isi ini merupakan sebuah representasi dari tulisan yang terkandung di dalamnya. Apakah sebuah judul? Menurut pelajaran Bahasa Indonesia yang saya dapat, judul adalah sebuah frasa/penggalan kalimat.Contoh dari judul: # Sebuah Pagi yang Cerah # Hancurnya Surau Kami # Harimau Di Tengah-tengah Kucing Garong Nah, kalo kata koran Lampu Merah, judul adalah sebuah kalimat kompleks dan kadang nyaris kayak paragraf yang ngejelasin isinya supaya gak perlu baca semua. # Pulang Gak Dapet Uang, Nemu Bini Selingkuh, Eh, Marah, Bini Dihajar Mati. # Salah Naro Anunya, Si Kakek Malah Bikin Anak, Si Cucu Lapor, Emaknya Naek Pitam dan Si Kakek Mati Digebuk Massa. # Pulang Sekolah Gak Langsung Ke Rumah, Ketemu Gerombolan Pelajar Dari Sekolah Laen, Eh Kejebak Tawuran, Mati, Deh... Sekarang, mana yang benar? Kalau men...

Nyampah di Web (WARNING RADA KASAR)

Ada seorang yang ngirim gw messsage buat ke CariMuka.com. Well, bikin gw ngakak (sori, emang gw bermaksud ngejek, tapi bukan ngerendahin lo). 1. Top 9 Foto terkeren (Cewek tentunya, bukan cowok, emang gw *** [Peace boss..]) http://carimuka.com/summary.php?id=38007&token=4b8a85571ffb7c8702a57959565127c2 Cewek kesundut obat nyamuk ini yang paling menyolok buat gw. Lit my day. Trus, dalam pikiran gila gw tentunya, pilih Nilai Foto. Trus, apapun gambarnya, pilih "Tekan ini jika foto mengandung tema yang tidak pantas (seks, kekerasan, dll)." Habis, foto yang dikasih foto cowok semua. Bagi gw, foto cowok itu (selain self-potrait tentunya) gak pantas dipajang apalagi maksa buat dinilai. Dalam ide gila gw, gw pengen submit foto dari belakang trus di bawahnya ada tulisan admin kambing. Tapi, ternyata sudah ada disclaimer yang ngelarang foto itu. Trus, ide gila gw yang terakhir, terinspirasi dari tulisan Onno W. Purbo di Mikrodata dulu yang entah kenapa teringat kembali di m...
