Vita: Coba Katakan

March 12, 2010 08:07 AM

Coba coba katakan kepadaku bahwa kita sedang berjalan menuju satu alasan
Janganlah kau katakan bila kita memang tak ada tujuan dari apa yang dijalankan

Aku tak ingin terus terdiam memandangi harapan
Terlena akan manis cinta dan berujung kecewa
Aku tak ingin terus menunggu sesuatu yang tak pasti
Lebih baik kita menangis dan terluka hari ini..

Coba coba katakan kepadaku sekali lagi bila kita memang benar akan kesana,
Buktikan dan buat aku percaya bahwa kita bisa mewujudkan bahagia..

Aku tak ingin terus terdiam memandangi harapan
Terlena akan manis cinta dan berujung kecewa
Aku tak ingin terus menunggu sesuatu yang tak pasti
Lebih baik kita menangis dan terluka hari ini..

Ohh.. Oh.. Habis sudah semua rangkai kata..
Telah terungkap semua yang kurasa..
Yang kuingin akhir yang bahagia.. hoo..

Aku tak ingin terus terdiam memandangi harapan
Terlena akan manis cinta dan berujung kecewa
Aku tak ingin terus menunggu sesuatu yang tak pasti
Lebih baik kita menangis dan terluka..

Aku tak ingin terus terdiam memandangi harapan
Terlena akan manis cinta dan berujung kecewa
Aku tak ingin terus menunggu sesuatu yang tak pasti
Lebih baik kita menangis dan terluka hari ini..

Wohoho.. Dudududu…
Wohoho.. Dudududu…

Yang ku inginkan..
Satu tujuan..
Sebuah kenyataan..
Bukan impian..
Bukan harapan..
Bukan alasan..
Satu kepastian..

Coba katakan..
Coba katakan..
Coba katakan..

Figures, after all this time I was occupied by my job, I lost sense of my movie-watching-progress. And I mean cinematic movies, not the usual drama-drama. So, after quick skimming on several movie database websites, I gathered this current to-watch list, although the funny thing is I can't quite remember whether I had actually seen the movie or is it just my imagination.

• Donnie Brasco (simply because I love Depp's movies)
• The Blind Side (some says this one is sweet to watch in 2009)
• Inglourious Basterds (some says this one is the best summer movie in 2009)
• The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (again, simply because it's Depp)
• Remember The Titans (Denzel, what else?)
• Deja Vu (again, Denzel, what else?)
• Schindler's List (the plot, intriguing)
• The Usual Suspect (I knew I've had this movie sometime in my laptop, but suddenly it's gone, so here we are on the treasure-hunt once again)
• City of God (crazy, I've never been able to find the perfect time to watch)
• One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (nyaaah, the plot story is so cute)
• 12 Angry Men (A dissenting juror in a murder trial slowly manages to convince the others that the case is not as obviously clear as it seemed in court, yummy!)
• American Beauty (mainly because it was such a big hit and I kind of miss the moment)
• American History X (Edward Norton!!! Miss him a bit)
• Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain (or widely known as Amelie, French movie, me-likey)
• A Clockwork Orange (I felt a bit carried out with its weird-sense of plot)
• L.A. Confidential (A shooting at an all night diner is investigated by three LA policemen in their own unique ways, hmm..)
• Reservoir Dogs (did I or did I not have watched this one?)
• The Prestige (magician, great!)
• No Country for Old Men (seems such a serious movie, need it for refreshing)
• There Will Be Blood (epic movie?)
• Snatch (this one got me in deja vu state, did I or did I not have watched this one?)
• Trainspotting (I'm such a sucker for good 'ol days hits)
• Groundhog Day (comedy, a relief!)
• Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (need to update my oldies library)
• Twelve Monkeys (I honestly have no idea as to why I want to see this one, hahahaha)
• Shaun of the Dead (comedy but not that comedy, hmm.. interesting..)
• The Day the Earth Stood Still (nyaah, this one is pretty risky, since I just want to take a sip at how it feels to watch sci-fi once again)

Any other recommendation?

Maya: Foreign Movies

March 09, 2010 11:26 PM

He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not (France)
Well, I gotta admit I didn't expect too much from this movie. Ever since I watched Love Me If You Dare, I expected none less than ambiguous and hard-to-understand movie plot. Like any French movie. So when I saw the first 20 minutes of it, I hate to admit I thought it's a so-so one, UNTIL.. jreng jreng jreng, the plot suddenly took major table-turning. I honestly and literally had my eyes opened since I saw it in office late night waiting for my colleague to wrap up her job, thus it's a lil bit sleepy time. Eiyyy, I like it at instant! You need to saw it, Mademoiselle Audrey Tatou strikes once again. Hehehehe, it's about desperation of one young girl whose love been wasted by some jerk cardiologist doctor. Or so you thought.

The Tidal Wave (Haeundae) (Korea)
I heard this one made it into box office in Korea, so I thought what harm could be possibly done by trying to take a peek on it? And regret I not, since it is one memorable movie. Personally I think Haeundae is more terrifying than any other disaster movie (Independence Day, etc) since my country had actually experienced it. So yeah, that's pretty horror to watch, especially when there's a big chance tsunami would occur again some time in the future. My favourite (and might be everyone else's) scene part was Lee Minki's. Boy oh boy, did he can pull some act. I love it, he looked so much different from the character in Dalja Spring (where he would be one cool spare tire) and turned into one dorky life guard who actually sported a good angle in the last minute of his life (err, did I just say a spoiler there?). It's a shame since the one who produced tsunami movie was Korea which in real life didn't get strike from it. Or maybe that's the exact reason why mine didn't make one? Traumatic experience? Meh.


City Of God (Brazil)
An epic story around ultra violent city named City Of God. And it's based on true story. And the real actor played in that movie is only one person (Matheus Nachtergaele, played as Carrot) while the rest of them were handpicked by the director himself. Some others are actually the citizen of City of God, impressive! How on earth could you live in that place? Where shooting and killing and robberies are normal routines and children could easily get their hands on guns? Anyway, the best accomplished acting was gained by Leandro da Hora (played as Lil Ze, the maniac) since in reality he's one calm, quiet and uncomplicated person, but in the movie this person rises as a crazy violent gang shooter boss. Me, predictably, love the Benny character (played by Phellipe Haagensen) the coolest gangster in City of God. He's suave and pretty much resembled the original man in real life. And not mention that he's cute, hahahahahaha, and he's the brother of that Shaggy (the leader of Tender Trio gang) character. No wonder, good genes runs in the family.

One thing I liked from City of God is their quote:
Hoods don't love, they lust
Hoods don't talk, they seduce
Hoods don't stop, they just take a break


Letters from Iwo Jima (Japan)
I watched this quite some time ago but I couldn't find the time to wrote something about it. Vaguely, I recalled Ken Watanabe's splendid acting and 'fcourse that Ninomiya Kazunari fellow (Poor Prince, Arashi's member). I like the ending, but then again, when did I ever dislike one tragic and sad ending? ;P It took place in World War II, in the great war between US and Japan, from Japanese perspective. Noone had actually liked to be in war, but sometimes the situation forced them to survive. I cringed upon so many scenes (including dog killing, men killing, etc) because basically I hate war. I never get it, if you don't want to be in a war, then don't start one.

JePe: Playing With Your GRUB (Debian Way)

March 09, 2010 10:57 PM

There are times when you want to do funky things to your computer. Sometimes, it messed up your zen. Well, when that happens, just do the Debian way. Oh, btw, it also means you could do it in Ubuntu.

#1 Regenerate your settings

$ sudo update-grub

#2 Reinstall GRUB on MBR

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc

ADVANCE:

#2a Adding kernel options to GRUB

$ sudo $EDITOR /etc/default/grub

Change $EDITOR with your favourite editor. Modify the file to suit you then do the #1. Some configuration already asked when you do #2.

Feel free to comment and ask.

JePe: Berita IT UI Tertatar

March 09, 2010 02:06 AM

Kepada rekan-rekan, terutama sivitas UI, Sabtu kemarin UI baru saja memindahkan sebagian besar infrastrukturnya ke sebuah UPS baru. Jadi, kalau ada layanan yang belum menyala, silahkan komentar di blog ini atau kirim ke admin at ui dot ac dot id. Seperti yang diketahui, infrastruktur UI baru saja pulih dari sebuah bencana.

Minggu kemarin saya iseng-iseng telah mengubah tema Gluttony menjadi logo UI, seperti tema yang saya pakai saat ini. Jika rekan-rekan memiliki tema baru, silakan berkomentar. Mungkin, dan itu sangat, rekan-rekan ada yang punya kemampuan mendisain tema sesuai cita rasa UI. Saya sudah lama tidak pegang PHP dan pekerjaan saya menjaga server sehingga kemampuan disain tidak terasah.

Terus terang, saya bukan pengembang, tapi seorang admin. Jadi, bagi saya konservatif itu penting. Makanya, selain penataran keamanan di blog ini, fasilitas yang lainnya kurang diperhatikan. Selain itu, saya mau bertanya kepada Bapak/Ibu pengguna Blog Staff UI, setujukah Anda bila situs ini ditatar ke WPMU terbaru?

WPMU terbaru menyediakan fasilitas-fasilitas baru, tetapi terjadi perubahan radikal dalam antarmuka (interface). Selain itu, kebutuhan peramban juga meningkat.

JePe: Beralih ke Standar Terbuka

March 04, 2010 04:11 AM

Sudah lama Uni Eropa menyertakan standar terbuka (open standards) sebagai kebutuhan (requirement) dalam proyek-proyek mereka. Itu sebabnya, Microsoft memaksakan untuk OOXML menjadi standar ISO. Perkembangan perangkat lunak bebas terbuka (Free/Open Source Software, FOSS) membuat banyak gebrakan dan berlanjut kepada dominasinya kepada dunia.

Salah satu yang mencengangkan adalah bagaimana rekan saya mengatakan bahwa GNU R, bukan SPSS, yang dipakai oleh dia dan rekan-rekannya di kelas. Pada awalnya mereka protes pada sang dosen. Tetapi begitu memasuki fungsi-fungsi yang rumit, mereka lalu langsung kagum pada kesederhanaan dan kemampuan GNU R. Oh, yah, dia adalah seorang mahasiswa S2 Ilmu Ekonomi.

Peran FOSS yang paling dominan saat ini adalah dia menjadi dasar dari Internet. Sebagai standar defacto, Apache HTTPd telah merajai penyedia layanan Web. Selain itu, GNU/Linux router telah secara transparan menyediakan gateway berkecepatan tinggi. Proxy yang melayani Anda, Hotspot, federated SSO. Semuanya beralih kepada FOSS.

Hal yang teranyar saat ini adalah dengan penggunaan HTML5. Karena i* (iPhone dan iPad) tidak menyertakan Flash, maka situs Virgin Airlines di Amerika mengganti situsnya dengan HTML5 murni. Seperti dikutip oleh [REG], mereka tidak mau kehilangan 30% pangsa pasar perangkat bergerak (iPhone menguasai 30% pangsa pasar telepon pintar di Amerika Serikat).

Hal ini logis. Jajaran produk Apple adalah sebagai lambang bergengsi seperti merek Ferrari pada mobil. Di antara 30% itu pasti banyak yang menggunakan jasa penerbangan. Sebagai entitas bisnis, mereka tentunya melihat peluang terbuka tersebut. Maka, Anda dapat lihat bagaimana dominasi Flash akan mulai tergantikan.

Hal ini sama seperti Symbian yang akhirnya membuka kode sumber mereka. Mereka mulai mempertimbangkan tekanan Android, Maemo, dan berbagai konsorsium yang mulai muncul. Tidak ada, bahkan Microsoft sekalipun, dapat mengalahkan kekuatan kerja sama.

Lalu bagaimana di Indonesia?

Saya masih melihat bahwa kita masih terikat dengan produk bajakan. Bahkan, kita masih bisa diancam-ancam kalau menggunakan FOSS. Padahal, ada banyak hal yang bisa digunakan dan dikembangkan. Sebagai contoh, kita hanya tahu bahwa OpenOffice.org sebagai perangkat pengganti M$ Office. Kalau seandainya Anda agak iseng, coba lakukan ini:

$ apt-cache search openoffice

Anda akan melihat ada begitu banyak ekstensi OpenOffice.org. Bukan hanya ekstensi, ada juga UNO Bridge dan berbagai language-binding dan sebuah eclipse-plugin. Arti dari masing-masing teknologi silahkan Anda pahami sendiri (tinggal baca deskripsinya).

Akan tetapi, arti implisit dari semua itu adalah OpenOffice.org dikembangkan untuk sebuah Enterprise Knowledge Management yang komprehensif.

Bagaimana itu dapat dilakukan? Seorang penceloteh seperti saya saja sudah mengerti bahan-bahan yang dibutuhkan. Hal tersebut dapat saja dilakukan:

• Gunakan Apache HTTPd + PHP untuk server side. Atau gunakan Tomcat sebagai servlet.
• Komunikasi antar aplikasi dan server digunakan menggunakan Web Service.
• Teknologi pencarian dapat diserahkan kepada Apache Lucene.
• Nilai semantik dapat direpresentasikan secara ontologi oleh OWL.
• Postfix dapat menyediakan layanan email.
• Jabber server dapat dibuat untuk sarana komunikasi antar bagian.
• Red5, FFMPEG, dan sebagainya dapat diramu menjadi server konferensi dengan protokol SIP.
• Asterix juga dipakai untuk VOIP.
• Empathy dapat dipakai sebagai klien yang terintegrasi dengan komputer kantor.
• Tentunya, Kerberos, CAS, dan SSO dapat dipakai untuk menentukan kontrol akses (ACL)
• Yang paling utama, semuanya itu bisa diintegrasikan.

Zimbra adalah sebuah contoh produk solusi yang meramu sebagian dari hal-hal tersebut.

Tapi, seandainya ada sebuah sistem enterprise terbuka yang dikerjakan secara gotong royong untuk keperluan Indonesia. Yah, sebut saja sebuah proyek e-Gov yang terbuka kepada publik sehingga kita dapat berkontribusi. Produk tersebut dapat dipakai oleh Pemda dan perusahaan di Indonesia. Sehingga, bukan tidak mungkin, semua bisa terkoneksi ke pemerintah dengan mudah. Penghitungan SPT tidak perlu dilakukan dan blunder-blunder proyek tidak perlu ada. Dana-dana yang berhasil diselamatkan dapat digunakan untuk kesejahteraan pegawai negeri sehingga tidak ada alasan krusial untuk korupsi.

Bagaimana cara ke sana?

Bahan yang tidak ada saat ini adalah kreativisme dan pengertian. FOSS yang seperti pisau swiss (Swiss Army knife) memerlukan kedua hal tersebut untuk membuat sesuatu. Membangun sebuah integrasi berbicara tentang pemahaman tentang domain masalah. Artinya, ditemukan masalah, dipahami, baru kemudian dicari solusinya. Itu cara kerja di dunia FOSS. Sedangkan dunia perbajakan mengatakan sebaliknya, Anda didikte cara membuat gambar atau menulis. Kreativitas Anda sebatas solusi produk yang Anda gunakan.

Satu langkah yang perlu dilakukan, sebuah jembatan keledai, adalah dengan mengubah sistem pendidikan Indonesia. Seandainya Anda yang adalah pengajar (guru, dosen, guru les, pelatih, ahli agama, dan lain sebagainya) bersedia berkontribusi untuk mengenalkan FOSS kepada anak didik Anda, maka makin banyak orang yang menggunakan FOSS. Atau, Anda sebagai seorang pengguna biasa, maukah Anda mengenalkan teknologi tersebut?

Saya pikir, seandainya dari 100 orang Indonesia yang dikenalkan, ada 5 orang yang intensif ingin mempelajarinya sungguh-sungguh. Maka, akan ada cukup banyak tenaga ahli yang bisa meramu impian mereka.

Maukah Anda memulainya?

JePe: Insider Info

March 01, 2010 07:12 AM

This is an unofficial/opinion/subjective info about what happens in the past few days in UI. This info is taken for granted and not in liability for any legal matter. In other words, let’s just say this is for the curious. This is a post for friends out there wondering.

Wednesday, 24th Feb 2010 about 15.40 WIT, central UPS that runs electricity for Computer Science faculty and Universitas Indonesia’s Data Center. This renders the Data Center disabled and crippling all of the IT services. The central UPS have 7 fuses that get burned.It would be easier to just bypass all of the servers electricity into PLN. But, the jitter and random shut down from PLN would likely risk our data. It would be dangerous to have data corruption than to have the service up easily. So, we decided not to run high priority servers from that power source.

Fortunately, we have a backup UPS that can bring some of the servers up. The backup UPS only have about 5 kVA, while the central UPS have 150 kVA. We must select which must go up and which must remain in waiting for reliable source. So, on that day, we can only started few servers. Many, including Kambing, must wait for the real backup.

One problem is that backup UPS is on another room, we had to pull cable extension. Thus, wires made the server room like spider web. Every time we walked, we had to watch our step. Few kVA can get us to heaven. Kudos to all people that had setup the cable fast.

On Thursday, we decided to put some server up by using PLN. Now, deciding which is the server that have less severity if data lost is hard. We all know that every information system hosted is important. But, bravely enough, and a big faith to God, we decided to up few systems. Unfortunately, Kambing is a little storage farm, so to bring it up is out of the question.

Because this is a blog post, I would like to share about the people. We are very much in a pinch. In this desperation, we still make some calls and even few people had to camp in campus just to make sure it works. But, I’m very proud of my co-workers, including my superior, that still in the campus just to troubleshooting. He was not just watching, but he also on the field taken care of what he could done. After some phone calls bugging the vendor, we have a solution to temporary rent a UPS. It was scheduled to be available on Sunday, yesterday. I didn’t attend yesterday because I had to attend sunday service. Afterall, faith is the one that put this heart firm.

The problem was to put all the bypass systems, the one that had their electricity from PLN directly. So, my friends shutted some servers down and put them on the right power plant. FYI, we had to plug off the cable from each server and put them up one by one. We also must attained 60% from regulator so that it would not overloaded. Gah, I’m not that into hardware thing, so I don’t really get it. What I do know, we have so many servers.On that day, my friends managed to bring services up, including Kambing. Unfortunately, due to the nature of high load in Kambing, the server had corrupted parts. So, we (Adin, you’re the man! :D) are now on the way to recover Kambing.

Oh, well, c’est la vie. This disaster does gives me some insight on life:

There is nothing certain than uncertainty itself. But, when sh*t happens, we have reliable friends.

Thank you. (Yeah, all of you, including staffs, students, and others that understand the circumstances and still entrust us. Those encouragement matters)

Sering kali terjadi salah sangka tentang manfaat FOSS (Free/Open Source Software). Kebanyakan melulu berpikir tentang memerangi pembajakan perangkat lunak dengan menyediakan alternatif bagi perangkat lunak berbayar.Tetapi, mari kita evaluasi sejenak. Ya, Anda yang telah memakai FOSS selama ini secara aktif. Tidakkah Anda merasa mendapatkan sesuatu yang Anda tidak pernah duga bisa Anda kuasai? Tidakkah Anda merasakan kreativitas yang lebih dari pada orang sekeliling Anda yang memakai perangkat lunak bajakan? Berapa banyak dari Anda yang dapurnya telah menyala dari FOSS? Berapa banyak sekolah yang telah tersentuh teknologi informasi akibat FOSS?Semoga ini bisa menjadi pemacu bagi Anda yang berjuang di jalan kebenaran. Hidup FOSS!

Weil ich kein Land habe und auch wahrscheinlich unfähig bin so viele Pflanzen zu schaffen, wachse ich die ganze Pflanzen in so genannte “Pflanzetöpfe”. Als Student habe ich auch kein verprassendes [...]

JePe: What I’m Using Right Now

February 27, 2010 04:30 AM

If you ask me, what FOSS that I use. I would like to share it a little now.

# Operating System

Kubuntu 10.04 pre-release.

## Desktop

KDE SC 4.4

## Command line

I use Yakuake.

# Productivity Tools

For serious document, e.g. scientific paper, I use LaTEX. It is used on international journal. Many have their own template so I can do better writtings with it.

For making leaflet and simple document, I’m using OpenOffice.org 3.2.

For graphics, I entrusts GIMP + inkscape.

# Administering tools

## Database

For mySQL, I’m using TORA. I know it’s kinda weird using tool that was for Oracle. Well, it works for me.

For PostgreSQL, I’m using pgAdmin 3. I’m used to this tool. Its simple interface and the SQL browser and query is make sense to me. When I was the admin of database, I used to use this tools to do the vacuum operation flawlessly.

For web-based, I entrust all to PHP{my|pg}Admin. But, I don’t use this quite well.

## Web server

Apache HTTPd 2 (Apache2). This is the defacto standard on the web. It quite heavy, usually I’m combined it with others.

Lighttpd with AIO. It is available at SVN (SVN Head) and quite handy. I know this apps stable enough from a friend that runs an anime fansite. I use this for… (hehehe….)

NGINX. I don’t know what is NGINX capable of, but Iang showed this is the good thing. Many portals on Universitas Indonesia running with this as a proxy to Apache and whatever Rails server.

As you can see, I usually using a hybrid solution to get both advantages.

## Scripting

BASH. Yes, I know perl, but BASH by far is the make sense for me. I am not a script guru, but small programs in GNU/Linux is my Swiss army knife.

# Programming

## Netbeans

This is the real thing for Java programmer like me. I don’t want to start a flamewar, so for the fair mention, my co-worker using Eclipse as his tool.

## Project Management

Redmine.

## SCM

SVN and now considering to Mercurial.

##

# Fun

## Activity

I found it amusing that the plasma by KDE4 is a fun thing. It connects directly to Open Desktop community. It means it connect to any websites that uses Open Desktop specification.

## Chatting

Unfortunately, I’m using Pidgin because we use Proxy in campus. But, right now I’m using Kopete on my laptop because I’m using IM2 Broom.

Oh, I thank Indosat for their service. Since early February, I have full connection and the connection is stable. Now I can upgrade and download from everywhere, including my house. I used to do upgrades from campus because of the crappy signal it used to have.

## Microblogging

Choqok

## Browser

Because I’m in the KDE land, I’m using Arora + Konqueror. But, I still keeping my Firefox just in case.

## CD Tools

I’m using K3B for ripping my CDDA into ogg/flac. Use it also to write ISO to blank media.

## Blogging

I’m new to Blogilo, but now I’m trying to post using it.

What FOSS you would use?

JePe: Totally Blatant Crap

February 27, 2010 01:53 AM

Because of the UI disaster, I’ve just now got the time to blog and blogwalking. Harry Sufehmi had given a shocking news on 24th Feb about IISA’s complain on IGOS movement (Indonesia Goes Open Source). Well, for those of you that actually read the document, you could see that the government recommendation is not the real issue, but it’s about the piracy movie industry. The recommendation is not that an issue.Right now I’m not capable to search deeper about the issue. But, from the document attached, it seems that about the MenPAN issuing recommendation letter about using FOSS can be solved by taking the recommendation letter. But, I agree with Harry Sufehmi, this is totally a false accusation. From my observation, all of the pirated CD/DVD here in Indonesia is from oversea.I’m not competent in legal field. Hello, friends from Law Faculty, please voice your voice. But, I can show you how other country promotes FOSS.The most prominent FOSS leader is European Union. How they promote FOSS, but can get away from accusation?The key is about market is limited to FOSS software only that making Microsoft US software company can’t play well. Different than Indonesia that only recommended the FOSS software, EU strictly enforce Open Standards to all of their government projects. That’s why Microsoft push a big effort to get OOXML an ISO standard.Why can they push open standard? Well, the reason is clear: to promote interopability.Ah, I’m very pissed off right now and can’t make better judgement. I’m pissed how our country can be dictated easily. Look how Brazillian government can promote Free/Open Source Software. I’m very pissed! So, before this blog entry becoming a flame war and unproductive, I’d rather stop now and will considering on writing better blog entry.This makes me want to use FOSS even more.Reference:http://harry.sufehmi.com/archives/2010-02-24-2257/

JePe: Configuring Basic Network (2 of 2)

February 23, 2010 04:14 AM

Now, you could pinged the network router, yet, you couldn’t access google.com. It’s because the way internet runs is by using IP, not names. So, when you type google.com, actually your system is trying to translate it into IP.

There are two ways of setting it.

#1 Using /etc/hosts

This is an ARPANET legacy and still holds true. Although nowadays we are using DNS, but this file still can be used to point in some site. This is what it looks like:

127.0.0.1 localhost rajagukguk-laptop

It binds IP 127.0.0.1 to localhost and rajagukguk-laptop. So, when you type localhost, you would be directed into 127.0.0.1

#2 Using DNS

There are ways to set DNS, but the default standard is using /etc/resolv.conf. Here’s my /etc/resolv.conf:

nameserver 152.118.24.2
search ui.ac.id

The first line is the DNS server that we would be using to query IP. The second line is about our home network name. So, when we type http://www/ the address will be rewritten as http://www.ui.ac.id/, or if we enter “webmail”, then it would be rewritten as webmail.ui.ac.id. Neat, eh?

Now, here’s some bonuses tips.

#1 If you are a web developer

When we entered an address, the system will looked into /etc/hosts first then your DNS. So, you could set your own version of something.com before you published it with real IP. For example, smartcard.ui.ac.id is situated on 152.118.24.116. But, we are going to pimp that one out. Instead of pimp it online and pissed people, I could set another box in 192.168.1.68 and then set my development PC to point into that address. So, in order to do that, I add my web development PC’s /etc/hosts as following line:

192.168.1.68 smartcard.ui.ac.id smartcard

So, everytime I access http://smartcard.ui.ac.id/ from my browser in that computer, it would go into 192.168.1.68 instead of the real one.

#2 You are an anti-ad

WARNING: I don’t recommend this, because ad is something that some people lived from. But, sometimes a site is awfully slow because of these ad sites keeps pushing bad javascript.

[Gah! This is left as an excercise for the reader. HINT: Point them to localhost]

JePe: Configuring Basic Network (1 of 2)

February 23, 2010 03:04 AM

There are several reasons why this basic skill is important:

• Your network is failing because of your experimentation.
• You want to be an l33t and impress your GF.
• You are stranded on an Debian/Ubuntu server.

To configure a basic networking, usually we use “/etc/network/interfaces“. Every network interface (e.g. ethernet card) can be brought up and down by using command
$ sudo ifup eth0
$ sudo ifdown eth0

Change eth0 with any network device you like. To see available network interface, type this:

$ sudo ifconfig -a

Currently, these way of action is being deprecated in favor of network-manager. But, these commands still can be run and overriding network-manager.

One more powerful command is to use ifconfig directly. The principal is easy, set the network card’s IP and then set the default gateway

#1 Set the network card default IP

$ sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.3 netmask 255.255.255.0

#2 Set the default gateway

$ sudo route add default gw 192.168.0.1

That’s it.

Vita: I’ll move on..

February 22, 2010 08:57 AM

This road that I’m taking twists and turns
My life my chance turning dreams into reality.
Down this path faced with so many things
Sometimes I feel like giving up and turn away

Can’t seem to go on
And I’ve been thru’ this before
Now where am I?
Where do I stand?
A little lost here.
But I’ll remember.
All those times you’ve bought me thru’.
I’d be a fool to give up cos’ the goal is near

I’ll move on I’ll go on.
Lord I will take your hand.
And you will guide me along.
Survive thru’ this storm.
So I say, come what may.
I’ll hold on to my hope.
Yes, I will walk down this road.
And my passion drive will lead me on

Here I am Once again caught in the rain.
Looking back I’ve come so far And I want to carry on
Take a step at time
It’s alright.
Even thru’ this rain, I want to smile again

Don’t hold back now.
And i’ve been thru’ this before.
Now where am I?
Where do I stand?
A little lost here.
But I’ll remember.
All those times you’ve bought me thru’.
I can feel the sun shining down on me

Here I am, Here I am.
Lord I will take your hand.
And you will guide me along.
Survive thru’ this storm.
So I say, come what may.
I’ll hold on to my hope.
Yes, I will walk down this road.
And my passion drive will lead me on.

Maya: City Hall (review timeeee)

February 20, 2010 06:59 PM

Like I've mentioned in the previous post, I'm in love with this series. Why? Well, there's a couple of reason:

1. It featured GREAT chemistry between Cha Seung-won and Kim Sun-Ah, or maybe like what my friend once said, "You could actually hold your breath from seeing those characters exchange something as simple as a glance". Great chemistry as in deep love chemistry, not teenager love-story chemistry kind of thing. Great chemistry as in even in real life, you'd enjoy seeing them interact cause they're both so endearing to each other. Great chemistry as in it's about the dreamer vs the realist, what would be better? Great chemistry as in each dialogue, each expression, you could and would feel what they think without them actually saying it, without any third party voices sounding from out of nowhere. Even their eyes can speak, if I must say. Great chemistry as in they could both still behave as fools fell in love, even in their thirties.

2. It has no insignificant side plot. Even I got to admit, I love the entire side plot. Whether it's about political play between The Big Brother and Deputy Mayor, the cold-yet-funny marriage relationship between Deputy Director and City Council, the continuously election scenes, or even the heart-warming friendship between the Lady Mayor and her Family Planning Biro Director.

3. It has lovable antagonist character. I didn't mean lovable as in I like them and I want to be their friend, but lovable as in they're stick to their character, not with over-the-top acting and expression (i.e. eyes bulging out). Even the bad guys has soft side, so I'm helplessly fall into their charm, whether it's BB, Joo Min-Hwa the City Council, Go Go-Hae the fiancé, gyaaah, I like them all.

4. The plot is addicting. Watching it is like riding a roller-coaster. Even within one episode, you'd go from teary eye to laughing your ass out. Seriously.

5. The kiss scene /is/ good. ‘nuff said ;)

6. The soundtrack is amazing, always well-placed and not annoyingly and gruesomely boring (for its repetition). Its lyric is gorgeous (as always) and they at all times matched the scenes (or even better, some scene would seems like fresh out of some video music clip)

7. You'd have three eye candies in one movie (Jo Gook, Soo In, and Lee Jung-Do). Ah, bless the PD for casting delightful and charming actors!

8. The dialogue and the quotes, for all time will be tremendously captivating. The hottest place in hell will be reserved for those, at times of great crisis, remain neutral. Tsk tsk. Very-very catchy quote from Dante.

Ah, there will be no word describing how infatuated I am to this series, so the only line I'd say is I'm grateful I'm watching "You're Beautiful" first. Hahahahahaha, considering that I also enjoyed that one, I might have been taken aback at how childish and ridiculous the YB's plot is given that I watched City Hall first.

So, yeah, thank God.


Back to the review, City Hall is a political drama (or at least the major plot of it is political) about one guy, Jo Gook, determined to climb the ladder to the highest position in Korea (the Blue House, similar with White House in US). He bowled over the fact that the scheme his role model (BB, a.k.a. Big Brother, the man behind the presidency candidate) had for him was not align with his wish. Instead of putting Jo Gook in provincial election level, BB put him in one small insignificant city called Inju City whose citizen is not even that interested in politic.

Jo Gook represented the entire passionate politician, I mean even his breathing and talking is all politic. He's manipulative (but not in cunning manner) and full of schemes, with standard fake public laugh and all small talks that politician has. Seriously, if he hadn't got that tall genes and sexy voice and lazy puppy eyes, I'd smack him with one brick.

Anyway, in Inju City, there's one woman, Shin Mi-Rae, who works in City Hall for the Mayor as one of his secretaries, devoted to remain neutral and not-sided to anyone, even to her mom or dad. She hates to vote and even more reluctant to get involve in politic. She chose to focus on her task instead, which is making great coffee for everyone in City Hall.

Life is pretty simple for Shin Mi-Rae. Should she ever getting caught in a middle of a brief political play (say, discussion over who wants to eat where), she'd chose to step back and follow the majority.

Shin Mi-Rae practically represented the ignorant people in the world, including me. The politic is way too high for her to grasp, and she might be the happiest person in earth when the Non-Aligned Movement was formed. She's so simple that she stumbled into political play when she needs money. ‘fcouse, what else would lure someone out of their nest?

And so, when the two different people from two different worlds met, what would happen? Aaaaah, suki desu…

Vita: Mengapa wanita suka bersolek?

February 20, 2010 03:42 PM

Ada seorang rekan yg dgn kesalah kaprahannya blg:
“bknnya kalian itu dandan bwt mempesona pria?”

errh.. knock2.. hallo..?
self-centered skali.. huhuhu..

Memang pada dasarnya wanita itu suka dipuja2.. bagian dari pridenya wanita untuk selalu tampil apik.. layaknya pria dgn pridenya yg hrs bisa smua hal…

Tapi bkn berarti kita ini ingin mempesona pria (saja) loh.. banci jg.. eh.. bkn gitu mksutnya.. ada kepuasan tersendiri ketika kita itu bersolek.. ada sensasi kebanggaan dan penghargaan diri sendiri.. kadang2 puas jg kalo uda bs bkin iri wanita lain.. OHOHOHO.. kalo enggak, knp jg ibu2 dtg  arisan pd dandan??

Katanya semakin tebal kita memoleskan bedak, menunjukkan bahwa semakin tidak PDnya kita.. Memang yg berlebihan itu selalu tidak baik.. nanti susah dibedain lagi ama dedemit kalo bedaknya ketebelan..

Saya rasa sih, berpenampilan baik juga berarti berpenampilan sesuai dengan situasi dan kondisi.. ya kalo ke kantor jgn pake kaos oblong ama jeans belel lah.. kalo dikau divisi marketing mo rapat, jgn pake jeans/kemeja santai.. kalo divisi IT kaya gw, bole lah… ato kalo ke pantai jgn pake kebaya… (ini sih extreme).. ato kalo lg pake kebaya jawa tuh rambut jgn digerai pnjang lah (ini gw plg gemes liatnya kalo di kondangan..) … trus dah tau jakarta tuh 30 drajat celcius, ngapain pake overcoat ama boots tinggi???? ato pake winter jacket di dlm mesjid salman -___-; dan.. berbagai fashion error lainnya..

Gw sendiri kalo di kntor agak asal dandannya.. yah.. krn pengalaman prnah diganggu oom2 mesum di bis pas pake rok, gw kapok ke kntor pake rok.. kalo bw baju gnti, ganti baju dulu.. aaaaaargh! biarkan hidupku simple saja, komandan..! Tp yah.. bkn berarti bersolek itu jadi menghabiskan waktu kerja kita, merepotkan, dan membuat tak nyaman.. kalo naek kreta/bis, ngapain jg pake rok?? mo dicolek2? dah tau bemper gede ginih.. -___-;

Ya.. intinya.. kita suka bersolek.. untuk kepuasan pribadi.. bentuk dari ego dan cinta diri sendiri..

Maya: Happy Year

February 20, 2010 12:59 AM

Happy New Year everybodeeh...

May the following year brings us the best, in life and peace and love and gaul..

Anywaaaaaaaaay, having spent the last Christmas vacation in my uncle's place (instead of a hospital like the previous year -__-) brought me in state of happiness and bliss.

Why? Cause I got the privilege of 24 hours internet and TV cable. Yes, that's a luxury for such a scrawny lil girl that I am. Huhuhuhu. So Happy. I downloaded almost everything that I could think of, likewise with the TV cable, I absorbed everything I could possible chew in. Say, Super Junior stuff, their songs, their reality show, their video clips, their pictures, their fanart, ohmygoat I take it all in. Aaargh, what a lunatic!!

As a result, I ended up being this autism girl with her dorky glasses squatting in the corner, browsing at her art collection of Super Junior in the office cubicle. Pathetic. But yet so giggly, since it reminded me of my young age (am I that old now? Geez).

My life? It's been up and down the hills. Bored since some of the engagements seems like another endless engagements, but excited since the old client returned. Boho, I almost forget their names and the roles and occupation. Bloody hell.

Some of my friends plan to return to this country in this year, so I wait with much anticipation for whatever they shall bring home. Hahahaha, what a gift lurker and presents obsessive.

That's all for now. Please stay tune for much much more capturing event from my point of view. My, as in my name, not kata ganti orang pertama. Hehehehehe. Deey.

Gosh, I almost forgot, my resolution for this year is to smile. Period. Seems easy, but somehow, I dunno, a bit wacky and too much false hope put into it. But we'll see.

Maya: Korean Band

February 20, 2010 12:58 AM

Okay, time to indulge my long-lost teenage years once more.





After all this time I'm obsessed with Super Junior (and yes, I mean /obsessed/ about basically /everything/ about them!), I went from zero to hero with this group, memorized all their names (13 of them), collecting all of their songs (well, maybe after I filtered it first actually), downloading any reality shows featuring all (or part) of them, keep tracking of their improvement (in which I happily announced that they are now much more mature and ngga malu-maluin), gathering every other artists' video clip that featuring one or more of them (I even took that unimportant SNSD clip entitled Kiss Me purely because there's Donghae in it, geez!), and promised myself to someday watch their concert live for whatever it cost (even if I have to fly to Korea, for God's sake)... NOW finally I have alternative source to obsessed with.

Hmm, maybe 'obsessed' is a bit much of definition, since I'm pretty sure I will not feeling the same feeling I feel *halaah* towards Super Junior, so maybe I'd used the word 'interested' as in 'want to know more' as in 'eager to look forward for new videos'... and the honor goes to.. BIG BANG!

Among so many Korean boyband these days, just named it, 2PM (with its recent incident), 2AM (with its dorky yet funny leader), SHINee (with err.. I dunno, personally I'm not into this group), SS501 (okay, I actually like this band, they're just lack of attractiveness when performing upbeat song due to the member's lack of dance skill, I much prefer the moronic version videos, though), U-KISS (euh, not my generation), EPIK HIGH (they rock, but I dun get the obsessed feeling, I just love the song), DBSK (brother band of SuJu, but again I dun get the obsessed feeling, I think they're generally too uptight and too image cautious), FT-Island & A’ST1 (seriously, I just know them from OST Boys Over Flower, and it's not like I'm into the movie, so..), and so on and so on..

As for the girl band, err.. practically I think Korean girlband is just selling their faces. Even if they managed to get famous, it is mainly because of the song, not the singer (as in the case of SNSD a.k.a Girls Generation - Gee song which is booming soon after being released, the song is just catchy, that's all). I like Wondergirls and Jewelry better than SNSD, cause let's face it, SNSD can't sing (let alone performing in live concert). Korean girls who can truly sing would really stand out if they pursue the solo career. BoA and YounHa are just one of those lucky girls.

Anyway, I just think BIG BANG is much more interesting than the others. Why? I dunno. There are lot of seasoning in this group, good song, great dance, wide music genre, easy listening tracks, and G-Dragon. This member of BIG BANG came into my attention after I noticed how indifferent this guy is. His style is uniquely him, and I like it. Despite all the extra effort to look menace or fiery or else, he's just interesting. He kinda reminded me of Heechul - Super Junior for the eccentricity, but G-Dragon is much more attractive (at least for me). Heechul, well, at first appearance his light might shine brighter than the others but as time goes by, you'll get tired of this guy.

You would start looking at other member, the less shining one, and you'd find they are much more fun to know.

Err, why am I talking like a psychiatrist?

Anyhoo, BIG BANG's video is like rapid movement from nada to yada. They're making nu videos each and every now and then. So intriguing. What is it that they're after? From all of the music videos, I prefer Oh My Friend MV and Dirty Cash MV. And yes, practically I love all of their MVs, it's random, unpredictable, and fun to watch.

Unfortunately, they're not as photogenic as SuJu is (again, my selfish comment, pardon) so it's kinda hard to look for one picture describing the complexity of this band. But I tried my best and here they are..


Which one is G-Dragon? Well, which one is the most weird? (I know they are all weird in this pic, but that's what makes them adorable =_=) The guy on the second right, 'fcourse.

Maya: Donghae

February 20, 2010 12:55 AM

This post is dedicated to the only member I adore in my favorite band who seems to be getting older and hence no longer suitable for my pedophile's taste =_= Hahahahahahaha..

Ookay, first of all I know how ridiculous this might seems but in my youthful days *halaaah*, I actually adore this little creature (who is now not so little anymore T_T). His name is Lee Donghae, the member of Super Junior whose actual talent is dancing. I mean it, he can dance better than anyone despite his girlie cutie look.

Among all members, I still could not distinguish his voice whatsoever, hahahaha. I'm really sorry, Mister, but you do really have soft-yet-indistinguishable voice. He pronounced 's' as 'sh', 't' as 'ts' in any English word he spoke. Seriously, this guy is cute. For example, "You are my everything" will be heard as "You are my everysching",etc. But still I could not despise this young man (which is weird since I do have zero tolerance with people pronouncing English in a wrong way, including myself, thus I seldom using it in daily conversation ;P)

Anywaaaay, day after day I kept everything logged about him (er..), his CF's, his live performances, his reality shows (which honestly there is nothing special about his attitude other than being so quiet and only get along with non-stranger people), and et cetera et cetera, I realized this guy is growing old (duh, you think?). He has reached the age in which the youth innocence slowly disappeared from his look. So, I'm sad.

I saw him in Infinitely Yours, Seoul commercial and I'm sad. He's gettin old. Why oh why??? He still got the adorable jaw and stuff but I could see clearly that he's being more mature (not that is a bad thing) but I'm still sad.

Well, I think this confirmed my pedophile's taste, after all.

Donghae-ne.. you will always looked like Ariel Peter Pan in my eyes. Hahahahahahahaha!

JePe: Lucid From Debootstrap

February 19, 2010 06:19 AM

What scenarios does this would likely involved you in? Well, for instance:

• Creating an Ubuntu system on your USB stick because your lack of faith to trust all of your system to GNU/Linux.
• Creating new system from your Ubuntu stick because you have become the enlightened.
• Creating a customized *buntu flavour because you have become one.
• Killing time because you have insomnia.

Most likely I’m in reason #4. This scenario is tested on GNU/Linux Debian and Ubuntu. I played with Unstable/Experimental and Lucid.

#0 Backup your data on USB stick.

Don’t tell me that I didn’t warn you!

#1 Set the partition

Stick your USB and seek what is the node file it representated.

$ dmesg | tail

Now, it would come up something like /dev/sdb1 or /dev/sdc1 depending how funky your system is.

#2 Format the USB stick

$ sudo mkfs.reiserfs /dev/sdb1 -l "KEREN DEH"

I’m used to label the filesystem. This label is important that you may prevent from accidentally formatting that particular partition. (Been there, done that) Oh, before the holy war begin, let me warn you that my flavour on ReiserFS is subjective, stick with whatever your fave filesystem. Here the change: EXT3: mkfs.ext3, XFS: mkfs.xfs, JFS: mkfs.jfs

#3 Mount the filesystem

$ sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt

#4 Debootstraping begins

$ sudo debootstrap lucid /mnt http://kambing.ui.ac.id/ubuntu/

The “--arch amd64” before “lucid” parameter is optional. It would come in handy if you are trying to make 64bit Ubuntu from 32bit system, vice versa. See the manpage for more information.

#5 Setup before chrooted to there

Mount all the important directory.

$ sudo mount /proc /mnt/proc -t proc

$ sudo mount /dev /mnt/dev -o bind

Optionally copy these files:

$ sudo cp /etc/hosts /mnt/etc

$ sudo cp /etc/resolv.conf

resolv.conf is deprecated on desktop because of the modem-manager being. But, it won’t hurt you if you still use it.

$ sudo cp /etc/fstab /mnt/etc

Don’t forget to edit the /mnt/etc/fstab and delete the root directory entry (find “/” and delete it) because we are using USB stick.

#6 Chrooted there

$ sudo chroot /mnt

#7 Add a user

This is important! Don’t let your system userless…

# adduser user

Make him/her an admin.

# addgroup user sudo

By default Lucid is making everybody in the sudo group to be an admin. If you are using another, you could add yourself a group:

# addgroup penguasa

# echo “%penguasa ALL=(ALL):ALL” >> /etc/sudoers

(Or just type visudo to edit the file properly)

#8 Install kernel

There are few flavours of the kernel. Desktop user usually stick with generic.

# apt-get install linux-image-generic

This virtual package will install linux-image-generic-2.6.32-13 in time this writing. If you want, you could search for another linux kernel with

# apt-cache search linux image

#9 Install grub

# apt-get install grub2

Usually, it would let you choose where it would like to install. Install it into USB stick’s Master Boot Record/MBR (/dev/sdb). If later you would like to install it, the sane way to install is:

# dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc

Or, if you’re the rock star:

# grub-install /dev/sdb

To have GRUB reconfigured, i.e. generates the GRUB menu, do:

# update-grub

#10 Install your flavour

# apt-get install kubuntu-desktop

#11 Get some sleep!

It’s already morning and you have a life? No? Well, you could go on and try your new system by restart to the system.

JePe: Kata untuk Surat Elektronik (e-mail)

February 19, 2010 05:11 AM

Baru lihat dari blognya [BR] tentang penggunaan kata email dalam Bahasa Indonesia. Satu kata yang saya bisa katakan, seandainya ini dibahas dahulu kala, maka saya akan memilih kata “surel” dari pada “ratron”.  Dahulu ketika hendak mendokumentasi [MAILUI], saya melakukan pertarungan antara dua kata “surel” dan “ratron”. Keduanya imbang digunakan. Tetapi, kata “ratron” akhirnya dipilih menjadi kata pengganti email di [MAILUI] karena digunakan oleh PT Pos Indonesia.

Hal yang menarik dibahas di [BR] adalah kata-kata pengganti tersebut asing dan malah membuat pusing kepala. Untungnya, Bahasa Indonesia cukup fleksibel untuk menaturalisasi (menyerap) kata-kata asing menjadi kata-kata Bahasa Indonesia. Misalnya:

• Kata “design” diserap menjadi “disain”.
• Kata “interview” diserap menjadi “interviu”.
• Kata “authentication” diserap menjadi “otentikasi” atau “autentikasi”.

Dari contoh-contoh tersebut dapat diketahui bahwa aturan penyerapan dalam Bahasa Indonesia menggunakan aturan pendengaran (fonologi). Maka, kata email bila mengikuti kaidah penyerapan menjadi kata “imel” karena demikianlah cara kita menyebut kata tersebut.

Tentunya, masalah tentang surat elektronik dan laser hanya sebagian kecil dari masalah utama: kurangnya sosialisasi Bahasa Indonesia. Sudah jadi rahasia bagi umum bahwa di Indonesia ini sudah ada yang namanya Pusat Bahasa. Dari situ kita sebenarnya bisa tahu informasi tentang bahasa, seperti misalnya justifikasi penggunaan kata “jadwal” dan bukan “jadual”. [PB]

Tapi, coba tengok produk mereka yang sangat tidak bersahabat: KBBI Daring [KBBI]. KBBI Daring hanya memperbolehkan kata yang tepat, tidak boleh yang lain. Mereka bisa saja memasang Apache Lucene untuk mengindeks data seperti [LONTAR]. Atau kalau mereka mau, mereka bisa saja membuat Google Custom Search pada situs mereka dan biarkan mesin pencari itu yang buat indeks. Sehingga, kita dapat dibantu dengan menemukan kata yang kita maksud.

Saya mendapatkan proyek-proyek dari [ITB], [UGM], dan [kamus.net]. Sayangnya yang mereka buat adalah kamus untuk penerjemahan, bukan kamus Bahasa Indonesia. Tetapi, saya suka fasilitas [kamus.net] yang menyertakan fasilitas kata hari ini (”word of the day”) untuk mengenal kata-kata baru.

Proyek WORDNET Indonesia yang dilakukan oleh Information Retrieval Lab FASILKOM UI [WNUI] belum menyediakan antarmuka pencarian untuk kata-kata tersebut. WORDNET [PRU] sendiri adalah sebuah proyek dari Princeton University yang terkenal itu. Saya suka mencari arti kata bahasa Inggris dengan menggunakan Google dan selalu menemukan artinya dari sana. Semoga saja proyek ini bisa segera digunakan.

Adakah rekan-rekan yang mengetahui proyek lainnya? Silahkan berkomentar.

Saya rindu supaya komunitas Bahasa Indonesia bersatu dan menerapkan proyek bersama. Seandainya ada situs de facto yang menjadi rujukan Bahasa Indonesia…

Kania: My Wardrobe Staples

February 15, 2010 12:50 PM

Sudah bukan rahasia lagi kalau saya adalah one of the Yoyo Dieters yang bisa naik-turun sampai dengan 10kg dalam waktu yang cukup singkat. Bagaimana saya bisa melakukannya, itu adalah bahasan lain, namun kalau benar penasaran, yah itu adalah kombinasi dari separuh kesabaran dan separuh anorexia musiman. Singkat kata: it's all nothing but a mind trick. Hehe. Back to pakaian, barusan saya menonton Tim Gunn's Guide To Style dimana dia dan seorang stylist yang bertindak sebagai co-host, akan mendatangi seorang wanita di rumahnya dan mereka akan me-review seluruh koleksi pakaian yang ada di dalam lemari wanita tersebut. Biasanya, sebagian besar pakaian akan dibuang atau disumbangkan, dan tersisa hanya beberapa potong yang boleh disimpan atau bakalan dialterasi alias dimodifikasi jadi bentuk pakaian lain.

Melihat isi lemari para wanita tersebut, saya jadi kepikiran sendiri sama isi lemari saya. Ada banyak pakaian yang tergantung selama beberapa waktu lamanya tanpa pernah saya pakai lagi. Mala...

JePe: Dunia Maya dan Kebudayaan Indonesia

February 15, 2010 06:56 AM

Onno W. Purbo dalam tulisan di [DTK] menyatakan keberatannya kepada Rancangan Peraturan Menteri mengenai Konten Multimedia. Setali dua uang, saya pun keberatan dengan peraturan tersebut. Kecenderungan menggunakan peraturan untuk menyaring informasi publik dari Internet adalah hal yang sia-sia. Berikut yang bisa saya sampaikan:

1. Tidak ada teknologi yang bisa membendung konten Internet, kecuali dengan memberangus Internet itu sendiri.
2. Ranah hukum yang berlaku tidak akan pernah diakui oleh internasional. Seandainya server diletakkan di Mali, apakah penuntut di Indonesia bisa menuntut pemilik konten sekalipun ia adalah orang Indonesia? Bagaimana membuktikan bahwa profil seseorang adalah benar seseorang?
3. Apakah saya sebagai orang yang sudah berusia lebih dari 17/18/21 tahun tidak berhak mengakses konten-konten dewasa?
4. Apakah saya sebagai seorang oposisi tidak berhak menyatakan kebenaran versi saya dalam melawan pihak yang berkuasa? Apakah saya tidak berhak menerapkan hak berdemokrasi saya?

Hal yang diperlukan dalam ranah hukum Indonesia sebenarnya adalah bagaimana cara pembuktian melalui media Internet. Bagaimana perilaku menyimpang seperti peretasan dan spamming yang dilakukan di Internet dapat diatasi melalui jalur hukum. Justru, menurut saya, yang paling berkepentingan mengeluarkan peraturan mengenai konten Multimedia adalah Kementerian Pendidikan.

Saat ini, pendidikan kita tidak dapat menyerap laju pencapaian Internet. Apalagi, Indonesia sudah meratifikasi perjanjian yang menyatakan bahwa seluruh Indonesia akan tersambung Internet pada tahun 2015. Ketidaksiapan orang tua dan pendidikan juga terlihat dari banyaknya anak-anak yang mengunjungi Warnet untuk bermain. Dari Ragnarok sampai Point Blank, semua permainan itu menyebabkan adiksi yang membuat banyak orang kehilangan masa depan.

Tapi, untuk membuat tulisan ini berimbang, seharusnya sebagian anak-anak itu boleh diarahkan untuk menjadi pemain game profesional. Dengan demikian, industri perangkat lunak di Indonesia bisa berkembang pesat. Apakah pemain profesional itu haram? Apakah game itu hanya cenderung merusak?

Tidak ada pekerjaan di dunia ini yang tidak berpotensi merusak. Pekerjaan di kantor membuat keluarga berantakan. Pekerjaan sebagai ahli agama membuat sesat umat. Pekerjaan di lapangan merusak raga. Pemain game profesional pun beresiko hal yang sama. Hanya saja, saat ini potensinya lebih besar karena tidak dibina.

Menurut saya,

Sudah saatnya para tokoh pendidikan membuat simposium dan memperkenalkan materi ajar berbasiskan komputer. Saya suka dengan metode ayah saya dalam memperkenalkan kebudayaan. Justru dia yang memperkenalkan terlebih dahulu ding dong (mesin arcade) kepada saya. Ia yang mengajak saya main ding dong sewaktu saya kecil. Saya baru sadar, ketika saya sudah SMP, saya tidak eksesif dalam bermain ding dong karena saya sudah terbiasa mengatur diri bermain.

Internet bisa menjadi musuh mau pun teman yang baik. Jika semenjak dini guru dan orang tua murid (hey, masak orang tua tidak?) memperkenalkan Internet kepada anak, niscaya ia akan belajar menggunakan media tersebut menjadi dunia belajar. Pasti, hal yang dicari saat pubertas adalah konten-konten seksual dan hal-hal yang tak lazim lainnya.Yang diperlukan adalah sebuah lingkungan di mana ia bisa jujur bercerita dan dibimbing dengan baik, bukan lingkungan yang memaksa ia menjadi orang munafik dan pembohong.

Jadi, untuk itu, inilah tugas pendidikan kita:

1. Menemukan pola pendidikan yang memanfaatkan jaringan Internet.
2. Membuat pedoman melek berinternet bagi setiap orang, terutama bagi guru dan orang tua murid.
3. Penerangan untuk bermain Internet yang sehat seperti halnya pendidikan seks itu sudah penting.

Dari pada melarang, lebih efektif membuat dewasa.

Seberapa kuat, pun, kita membendung, pasti teknologi itu bocor. Sebagai contoh, kendati Facebook dan situs porno diblok, tetapi orang-orang bisa mengaksesnya menggunakan TOR atau pun situs anonymizer. Sekalipun rapidshare membuat metode blokade unduh langsung, akan ada selalu celah untuk mengunduh dengan kecepatan maksimal. Sekalipun sensor diterapkan, akan ada selalu cara untuk mengunduh konten terlarang seperti misalnya pengubahan nama berkas, pengubahan metadata, sampai kepada enkripsi.

Terbersit sebuah pernyataan seorang teman yang disampaikan oleh seorang teman yang lain (ribett amattt)... kira2 redaksional-nya begini
"Bener ya jadi perempuan itu bebannya berat, gk cuman ngurus suami, ngurus anak, tapi juga tetep harus kerja juga apalagi di jaman sekarang...."

Yups, menurutku peran perempuan (sebagai seoarang istri) yang ideal adalah memfokuskan diri untuk bisa menjadi ibu yang akan membuat rumah menjadi madrasah pertama untuk anak-anaknya... Bayangan segala macam rencana untuk anak, bagaimana mendidik anak, bagaimana membuat anak senang belajar, beribadah, bersemangat, selalu patuh dan menjadikan orangtua sebagai sahabat terbaiknya, penuh wawasan dan sebagainya menjadi sebuah bayangan yang teramat indah...

Tapi, tanpa bisa dipungkiri. Kondisi saat ini, menuntuk sebagian wanita untuk menambah prioritas hidupnya yaitu mencari penghasilan untuk mencukupi kebutuhan hidup. yaitu dengan bekerja...

Memang tidak semua wanita memilih bekerja untuk mencukupi kebutuhan hidup, a...

Kusut: This Theme

February 11, 2010 08:21 AM

I watched a lot of movies/TV series lately and had some writing materials. For now this suffices.

This Theme
I made a wordpress theme some years back. Well, actually, not me (japran did mostly). It is nowhere to be found now. You can find the release note here. To prevent that, I decided to put this blog theme publicly available. Get it here. I actually wanted to host it on github (just for learning git in the process), but they dont allow write access via http, and I cant connect to them via ssh from my machine.

Emacs Rant
It has been a few months since I started using emacs. I am getting familiar with a new habit but still having difficulty since I also use vi and regular editor. It is quite annoying and funny to misuse key bindings on a different environment. The version control integration is nice but I still have some problems. Kill ring and system clipboard separation is unusual, GNU coding convention is rarely used outside GNU project, and many more. Actually they are not much of troubles, we can customize everything on Emacs. I am just too lazy to fix those things.

Anyway there is a kit around to help emacs newbie (WARNING: it is HUGE and makes you feel comfortable). I also put my emacs setup under version control, just in case.

JePe: Using JSR 268

February 11, 2010 07:28 AM

JSR268 is a Java specification for accessing Smart Card device (ISO 7816 specification). It is included in Java6 SE specification. To enable it into Debian, don’t forget to install :

# sudo apt-get install libpcsclite-dev

PCSC-lite development package.

Tested on Sun J2SE 6 and OpenJDK 6.

JePe: Journey Log 3: A Glitched Upgrade

February 11, 2010 01:00 AM

This morning I upgraded my workstation which runs Lucid. I have found that there are 2 failed upgrades. The solution to those packages are trivial.

INITRAMFS fails

The first problem  encountered is initramfs-tools that failed to found “./lib/udev/firmware.sh“.  After a quick check on “/lib/udev” directory, I found out that the given file was named “firmware“. Thus, solution should be an alias:

$ sudo ln -s /lib/udev/firmware /lib/udev/firmware.sh

After  that, I ran the Debian’s configuration:

$ sudo dpkg --configure -a

It then hits the second configuration

Virtuoso Server fails

If you are using Kubuntu, which using Virtuoso for her semantic things, most likely you would encounter this error. The Virtuoso was 5.x version, but the one that would be installed is 6.x version. So, there are some new packages that need to be installed. Fortunately, it is easy enough to do so:

$ sudo apt-get install virtuoso-opensource-6.0-common

$ sudo apt-get install virtuoso-opensource-6.0

In Debian, *-common is a virtual package to install the given software. But, here I must install the virtuoso-opensource-6.0 virtual package manually. Well, after that two installs, the upgrade went smooth.

UPDATE

fix from :

Vita: Street Musicians..

February 10, 2010 12:06 PM

or.. Train Musicians to be exact..

It’s a common thing nowadays to have a good street musicians on the train.. (hmm.. for me it’s a new thing, since I’m a new rider of Jakarta’s “splendid” electrical train..) Some of them are actually bring a big contra bass or electrical guitars/bass or even keyboard plugged to  a car’s accumulator. For the drum set, they create a simple version with roller below and consist only 2 drumskins (bass and snare) without their cylinders and one crash cymbal. The pop band I can enjoy.. but the Dangdut one from Bojong Gede station.. -__-; can’t.. really can’t!

Today was the 1st time I heard this band. It was a pro! damn pro! They actually played groovy jazz with Oboe, percussions,  nice contra bass, and 2 acoustic guitars.. wuiiii.. nice! It was more like a jam session in a cafe.. That’s what I call “music”, my friend..

I’ve seen street bands with violins.. pretty common nowadays.. but an oboe?? That was the 1st time.. People can’t learn to play an oboe in just a couple of months, can they? I mean to play it good.. not just do re mi..

My mom said that they usually play in Depok Baru station (my stop).. and the band leader is actually a real musician.. well no wonder they can play so perfectly well..

The strange thing is.. I was immediately got the idea of make them my wedding band.. I almost approach them to ask if they do such thing.. but then I hesitated.. hmm… it’s still a long way anyway.. so why bother.. Huhuhuhu.. let’s hope that someday, if I’m getting married, they’ll still be around..

I do have a vision of my wedding.. you know.. women and their imaginations… It would be all white… and with Jazz music.. no “organ tunggal” please… definitely no Dangdut! -___-; I’ve got enough of a non-stop Dangdut every weekend echoing from across the river (my house is by the river)

February 09, 2010 03:10 AM

The hottest solo act in Korean Pop, G-Dragon, whose one of the members of Korean band Big Bang. These music are all worth of hearing for. Although you may not get whatever he's saying *lol* but the music are great and he did write and compose all of those music of his. A Boy (소년이여) is the single I like the most and had been my ringtone for quite some period of time. He's not like those of KPop artist who had been blessed with good genes (or good surgeons ?) which made them looked unbelievably gorgeous, G-Dragon is not that handsome. He's not even fulfill the minimum (unwritten) requirement of 180cm height that Korean Male Idols had to

JePe: Pola Pikir yang Sehat

February 08, 2010 11:01 AM

Saya berharap tidak menjadi seorang pelukis tua yang hanya bisa mengritik dan menggerutu. Dari pada saya mencela-cela lemahnya pendidikan saat ini, saya coba menuliskan apa pemikiran saya tentang pendidikan yang benar. Tentu saya bukan seorang psikolog dan ahli pendidikan, tetapi siapa tahu ada orang-orang yang mau mendengarkan dan berbuat lebih baik dari saya. Semoga celoteh ini bisa menginspirasi Anda, atau setidaknya menghibur. Silakan berkomentar, toh, ini artikel dari seorang pengamat amatir dan jangan takut salah, saya tidak akan menggigit. Sudah disuntik Rabies, kok.

Oh, iya, terbalik dengan kebiasaan menulis blog saya yang terdahulu, kali ini saya mencoba belajar Bahasa Indonesia. Mohon diperiksa apakah ejaan saya sudah benar.

Jawaban yang Benar

Kesalahan pendidikan kita adalah terlalu mengindoktrinasi kebenaran absolut kepada anak. Hal ini sebenarnya karena kita berkiblat semula kepada sistem pendidikan lama yang menempatkan guru sebagai sumber ilmu. Guru ditempatkan pada posisi yang di atas. Seperti sebuah peribahasa “nilai 10 milik Tuhan, nilai 9 milik guru” yang seakan mendefinisikan guru sebagai tempat segala-galanya. Walau pun dengan perubahan kiblat kepada pendidikan moderen,dogma ini tidak terhapus juga.

Apakah bahaya dari dogma ini?

Pertama, hal ini mengintimidasi baik guru mau pun siswa sehingga menghasilkan pendidikan yang tidak benar. Sering kali, sang siswa kehilangan kemauan belajar karena guru yang salah dalam menjawab. Jawaban guru itu berupa bentakan atau pun meredam pertanyaan tersebut. Bahkan, alih-alih malah diacuhkan dengan tidak dijawab sama sekali. Anak Indonesia dipaksa untuk tidak berpikir kritis yang positif dan out of the box.

Kedua, terciptanya keregangan antara murid dan guru menyebabkan transfer keilmuan berjalan negatif. Padahal, anak-anak memiliki waktu paling banyak di sekolah. Bahkan, sudah ada fenomena lebih banyak waktu bersama guru di kelas dibandingkan orang tua di rumah. Hilangnya rasa percaya kepada orang dewasa mengakibatkan dunia mereka lebih rentan kepada penyalahgunaan hidup kepada hal-hal yang menyimpang.

Ketiga, setiap siswa tidak memiliki kemampuan untuk menerima perbedaan pendapat. Setiap siswa tidak berani menyatakan pendapatnya karena takut berlawanan dengan arus utama (mainstream). Hal ini berakibat kepada siswa yang tidak berani berinovasi dan takut gagal.

Padahal,

Tidak ada satu pun kebenaran yang absolut, hanya ada kebenaran yang dapat diterima.

1 + 1 = 2 adalah sebuah kebenaran yang ditentukan dengan mendefinisikan secara universal operasi matematika “+” pada himpunan bilangan. Saya bisa saja membuat sebuah himpunan bilangan sendiri dengan mendefinisikan operator “+” pada angka 1 menghasilkan A. Bagaimana Anda menerimanya, tergantung seberapa populer saya mendefinisikannya. Seandainya saya adalah nabi dan Anda pengikut saya, tentunya Anda pasti menerimanya sebagai kebenaran.

Di dunia industri ini terjadi pula. Antara CD+ vs. CD-, antara HD DVD vs. Blueray, bahkan perang spesifikasi Bluetooth. Yang menang adalah yang populer. Walaupun Richard M. Stallman dan FSF sang pencipta pondasi dari sistem GNU/Linux menamai sistem operasi tersebut GNU/Linux dan diikuti bahkan oleh Ubuntu sekali pun, tetapi karena kepopuleran nama sistem operasi tersebut menjadi Linux.

Hal tersebut juga terjadi di dalam dunia akademis. Walau pun Mark Weiser menyebut sebuah lingkungan yang pintar sebagai Ubiquitous Computing, tetapi dalam perkembangannya istilah tersebut berubah menjadi Pervasive Computing dan beberapa entitas komersial merubah namanya menjadi Everywhere Computing.

Menurut saya,

Sudah saatnya guru menjadi teman/rekan bagi siswa. Guru sudah tidak perlu takut lagi apabila ia tidak mengetahui informasi yang diingini oleh siswa. Tentunya, mengatakan tidak tahu dengan elegan harus dipelajari. Dari pada berkata “[saya] tidak tahu”, lebih baik berkata “[saya] tidak tahu, tapi mari kita cari bersama” atau seandainya tahu sedikit. “[saya] kurang menguasai, tetapi silakan cari dengan topik X, Y, dan Z”. Lalu tunjukkan bahwa guru juga mau belajar.

Berbeda pendapat itu perlu. Hanya, yang perlu diperhatikan adalah bagaimana siswa dapat mengutarakannya secara logis dan sistematis sehingga mudah dipahami. Intinya, bagaimana seorang siswa dapat mempresentasikan idenya dengan baik dan bagaimana ia dapat menerima pendapat orang dengan baik walau pun tidak diterima dengan murni.

Fokus Anak Panah

Cuma satu istilah yang bisa menggambarkan bagaimana anak Indonesia dibentuk:

“Jack of all trades, master of none”

Saya menyadari di studi saya sekarang, bahwa untuk beberapa hal saya sudah terlambat untuk fokus. Seandainya dahulu saya diarahkan untuk melakukan sesuatu, atau diberi stimulus untuk tetap fokus, saya pasti bisa lebih baik. Mengapa kita hanya punya IPS dan IPA? Bahkan, dulu sempat muncul stigma bahwa IPA lebih superior dari IPS.

Padahal,

Saat ini ilmu terapan tidak seratus persen IPA atau IPS. Sebagai contoh, dalam dunia pervasif, HCI, dan sejenisnya, terdapat studi sosial yang dikaitkan dengan pengembangan teknologi. Sebuah lab riset yang terdiri dari berbagai cabang ilmu pengetahuan (sosial dan teknik) adalah hal yang umum di luar sana. Tetapi, saya belum menemukannya di Indonesia. Apakah saya katak dalam tempurung? Silakan koreksi saya kalau saya salah.

Saya banyak melihat orang-orang yang berpotensi sering kali layu sebelum berkembang. Hanya karena talenta yang dia miliki tidak dipelajari di sekolah, ia menjadi golongan orang-orang “bodoh”. Karena kecenderungan sekarang yang mengejar nilai rapor semata dibandingkan ilmu, kebiasaan mencontek menjadi kebiasaan yang lazim.

Jangan salah! Saya tidak melarang mencontek, tetapi mencontek yang ada saat ini namanya plagiarisme. Lagi pula, tujuan dari ujian di sekolah hendak memacu pemikiran siswa bukan untuk mengkungkungnya. Dengan mencontek seorang siswa tidak lagi mengandalkan kemampuannya sendiri.

Menurut saya,

Sudah saatnya cabang-cabang ilmu mendapatkan penghargaan yang sama. Stigma yang terlanjur melekat di masyarakat sudah harus dikikis dengan membekali sekolah dengan penjelasan yang benar. Sudah saatnya nilai rapor dievaluasi dan kelas-kelas penjurusan diberlakukan.  Pentingnya pengenalan siswa semenjak dini kepada berbagai pekerjaan (halal) yang ada di dunia ini. Selain itu, fungsi guru BP seharusnya sudah sejak kecil (SD) diadakan untuk mengarahkan siswa sejak dini.

Untuk membuat kelas khusus mungkin amat sulit karena membutuhkan perubahan silabus secara nasional, termasuk menyediakan mata ajar yang sesuai serta menyediakan pelatihan kompentensi guru. Tetapi untuk pengenalan profesi yang ada, hanya perlu mengundang profesional ke sekolah untuk bercerita mengenai pekerjaannya. Hal ini tentunya tidak sulit. Toh, dari antara orang tua siswa pasti ada pekerjaan-pekerjaan yang berbeda yang bisa diceritakan.

Pendidikan Milik Kita Bersama

Terus terang, hal yang mengangkat rasa ingin tahu saya adalah film MacGyver. Terbalik dengan itu, saat saya melihat acara-acara TVE, saya merinding. Pembahasannya kaku dan tidak ada rasa bersahabat. Selain itu, jam tayang saat sedang sekolah, membuat siswa tidak bisa menonton acara tersebut. Hanya pada saat liburan dan sesekali saat guru rapat di sekolah mungkin siswa bisa (kebetulan) ganti saluran dan menonton secara sekilas. (Biasanya liburan ada film kartun dan film keluarga yang lebih menarik)

[Terus terang, saya salut dengan TVE karena secara konsisten terus menerus membuat acara pendidikan. TPI juga terakhir kali saya lihat masih menayangkan acara tersebut.]

Selain itu, ketika saya pertama kali masuk kuliah, saya diperhadapkan pada kenyataan pahit: saya bukan orang yang paling tahu. Barisan anak bangsa yang duduk di depan dengan percaya diri mengangguk-angguk, sedangkan kami orang-orang terpencil di barisan tengah ke belakang hanya bisa geleng-geleng dalam hati dan tidak percaya diri untuk bertanya. Mereka memiliki pengetahuan yang lebih dibandingkan kami, tapi hal itu tidak pernah diajarkan di sekolah. Beberapa terminologi asing yang kami tidak pernah dengar, berbagai bahasa dewa, membuat kami hanya tersimpuh….

Menurut saya,

Saya sering melihat selintas di TV dan koran mengenai guru-guru yang berhasil membuat alat praktikum sederhana. Seandainya ada dari kalangan media yang menyediakan (mendonasikan) 30 menit dari waktu siarannya di TV Swasta untuk membagikan cara penggunaan praktikum tersebut. Tentunya acara tersebut akan merangsang pemerataan pendidikan ke daerah-daerah.

Lagipula, membayar guru-guru untuk menyumbangkan ilmunya tentunya tidak semahal membayar artis sekaliber Matias Muchus atau Sandy Nayoan. Seandainya ada orang-orang yang mau secara profesional mendonasikan waktunya untuk membuat acara pendidikan yang menarik dan memacu siswa untuk belajar. Adakah CSR dari perusahaan media yang mau melakukannya? Adakah korporasi yang mendanai siaran tersebut dengan CSR-nya?

Saya melihat TVOne menghadirkan siaran Animal Planet pada jam utama. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa animo bangsa Indonesia pada acara-acara pendidikan yang menarik sungguh besar.

Hmm…

Masih banyak ide, tetapi sudah panjang begini. Saya akhiri saja, takut ada yang terintimidasi membacanya.

Ramot: A Kind Reminder

February 07, 2010 09:33 AM

Penting untuk diingat semua orang yang memakai angkutan umum:
- Jagalah barang anda baik-baik. Masukkan HP dan dompet anda ke dalam tas, dan pegang erat-erat tas anda tersebut.
- Bagi yang naik ojek, jangan lupa pegang erat-erat tas anda. Jambret motor cuma memerlukan sepersekian detik untuk merampas tas anda.
- Bagi yang naik bajaj, jangan duduk di bagian pintu. Duduk di bagian dalam dan pegang erat-erat tas anda. Kalau anda duduk di bagian pintu, serahkan tas pada yang duduk di bagian dalam atau letakkan tas anda di bawah dekat kaki. Lebih baik tas itu menjadi sedikit kotor daripada berpindah tangan dan tidak akan pernah kembali kepada anda lagi. Jambret motor juga punya perhatian khusus terhadap penumpang bajaj.
- Jika anda masih dijambret jg, langsung blokir semua rekening ATM yang kartunya atau buku tabungannya ada di tas tersebut. Demikian juga dengan nomor HP anda.

Sekedar catatan, pacar saya kemaren dijambret di bajaj. Jambret motor, kejadiannya hanya sepersekian detik. Harta memang bisa diganti, tapi tentu saja hal ini menimbulkan stres dan trauma. Kalian tidak perlu merasakan hal itu untuk sadar bahwa kalian harus menjaga barang bawaan baik-baik.
