Ketika keluar kota terakhir, saya tidak lagi membawa laptop, namun hanya 2 perangkat ini saja. Hasilnya cukup memuaskan 🙂 bahkan bisa melakukan coding juga 🙂 ya, kita bisa menjalankan Linux Server (debian + apache +mysql + php) di atas Nexus 7 

Nexus 7 = hemat baterai, ringan, praktis, dan bisa di charge dari Powerbank (laptop saya tidak bisa).

Motorola Wireless Keyboard ini bisa saya rekomendasikan, kualitasnya bagus, dan harganya di http://tokoamazing.com termasuk murah (untuk kualitas seperti ini), sekitar Rp 390.000 saja.

Nexus 7 ini terus semakin menunjukkan manfaatnya 🙂

kalender libur indonesia

Senang melihat anak-anak sedang bermain http://Minecraft.net, membuat berbagai bangunan, rumah, peternakan, dst. Lalu seorang anak masuk ke rumah milik anak lainnya, sambil mengucapkan " Assalamu'alaikum !" 

Reflek ketawa lepas 😀 mereka sebetulnya cuma masuk ke rumah virtual, tapi, tetap saja mengucapkan salam terlebih dahulu.

Kemudian bersyukur, bahwa ternyata didikan kami membekas di benak mereka, sehingga mereka terus jalankan.

Laporan yang mencengangkan dari IDC – Microsoft yang nyaris 100% menguasai pasar komputer (#), di tahun 2004 drop pangsa pasarnya sampai nyaris 50% karena Apple dkk, dan lalu sekarang drop lagi sekitar 60% karena Android. 

Pangsa pasar Microsoft kini tinggal 20%, sedangkan Apple 24%, dan pasar komputer kini dikuasai oleh Android sebesar 42%.

Sejak awal munculnya Android, saya sudah yakin bahwa ini yang akan menjadi raja, karena menilik pelajaran dari IBM PC di era 80-an— keterbukaannya / openness dari IBM PC membuatnya sukses menggusur nyaris semua kompetitornya 🙂

Dan, kini kembali sejarah terulang kembali 🙂

Microsoft harus segera berubah menyesuaikan diri dengan situasi ini, atau musti siap-siap tergusur menjadi semakin tidak relevan di dunia yang baru ini.

Enjoy !

New breakthrough on Warp Drive technology, suddenly become much more feasible : http://www.space.com/17628-warp-drive-possible-interstellar-spaceflight.html

Quoted :

"Everything within space is restricted by the speed of light," explained Richard Obousy, president of Icarus Interstellar, a non-profit group of scientists and engineers devoted to pursuing interstellar spaceflight. "But the really cool thing is space-time, the fabric of space, is not limited by the speed of light."

With this concept, the spacecraft would be able to achieve an effective speed of about 10 times the speed of light, all without breaking the cosmic speed limit.

Meanwhile, the starship itself would stay inside a bubble of flat space-time that wasn't being warped at all.

White and his colleagues have begun experimenting with a mini version of the warp drive in their laboratory.

They set up what they call the White-Juday Warp Field Interferometer at the Johnson Space Center, essentially creating a laser interferometer that instigates micro versions of space-time warps.

Engage ! 😀

+Linus Torvalds does not tolerate stupid kernel maintainers :)

Quoted :

WE DO NOT BREAK USERSPACE!

Mauro, SHUT THE FUCK UP!
…
If a change results in user programs breaking, it's a bug in the kernel. We never EVER blame the user programs. How hard can this be to understand?

Always a pleasure to see a user-focused programmer. Yet from time to time, we'll still find developers who forgot that we develop software for users, not for developers.

Ada yang mengalami masalah komputer / network di 27 Des 2004 ? Mungkin ini biang keroknya :) 

http://www.slate.com/blogs/bad_astronomy/2012/12/27/cosmic_blast_magnetar_explosion_rocked_earth_on_december_27_2004.html 

Dikutip :

" Eight years ago today — on Dec. 27, 2004 — the Earth was rocked by a cosmic blast so epic its scale is nearly impossible to exaggerate "

"… an explosion by an object with the mass of the Sun, squeezed into a ball a few kilometers across, with gravity billions of times stronger than Earth's, a magnetic field quadrillions of times stronger, all of of which is spinning every 7.5 seconds "

Probably the best parenting infographic, very recommended.

Thanks everyone for making 2012 a year to remember on Google+.  This is just the beginning…

MMOG (Massively Multiplayer Online Games) are a waste of time, because they will fail : 
http://www.theverge.com/2012/12/20/3776210/electric-funeral-death-of-mmo

My daughter was shocked when she found out that http://TinierMe.com went down. She was shocked again when she found out that AmebaPico (https://www.facebook.com/PicoIndonesiaFanpage) also closed down this 17 Dec 2012. 
Now she plays http://Minecraft.net in LAN, with her brother & sisters instead 🙂

Not everyone is able to take it so easily. Some have built elaborate new worlds in these games; and was hit with quite a powerful emotional shock when these worlds disappeared. It was totally unexpected, they probably thought that it would last forever. Not a chance.

It was good while it lasted though – my daughter got new friends, and also able to practice her English on these MMOGs. Some friends of mine even met their SO (significant other) on these MMOGs & some got married. So that wasn't too bad.

…dan jadi makin jelas kenapa riba itu diharamkan : http://www.cracked.com/funny-4179-credit-cards/
