Hey Dude!

Somebody asked me something, something that made me scared to answer it. Her questions made me question myself. I just realized that after we finished talking, waking up hours after the conversation.
What do I do? What do I need to secure myself? I saw my hands and saw no hope. It was up to me, only myself, to make it or fail it. A usual defence mechanism brought me to succumb to the feeling of powerless. Human make mistakes, so be it. I am powerless.
Then something hit me, brought in by the steady and chasing bass sound of Kula Shaker.
So what? So my best plan is under cooking. So what if I still have to wear the sign “Still Learning” and slam the pedal to the metal.
Yes, so what? This is not the time to close the transaction.
This, my friends, is the time to ride the wave!

Presentation tips

Interesting preception: Kalau lagi menerangkan presentasi memakai proyektor dan menggunakan laser pen sebagai alat untuk menunjuk, JANGAN gerakkan laser pen tersebut di atas benda yang ingin ditunjuk. Cukup lingkari sekali, atau tunjuk ruang di samping benda itu. Gerakkan memutar itu menjadi fokus sendiri, mengganggu orang melihat hal yang sebenarnya anda ingin perlihatkan!!!

Father to Son

Father
It’s not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy.
You’re still young, that’s your fault,
There’s so much you have to know.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I’m happy.

I was once like you are now, and I know that it’s not easy,
To be calm when you’ve found something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything you’ve got.
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.

Son
How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again.
It’s always been the same, same old story.
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.
Now there’s a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.

Father
It’s not time to make a change,
Just sit down, take it slowly.
You’re still young, that’s your fault,
There’s so much you have to go through.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I’m happy.
(son-- away away away, I know I have to
Make this decision alone - no)
Son
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside,
It’s hard, but it’s harder to ignore it.
If they were right, I’d agree, but it’s them you know not me.
Now there’s a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
(father-- stay stay stay, why must you go and
Make this decision alone? )

cara mengakses gutenberg, penyedia buku gratis

Aku pernah membahas gutenberg project (linuxku.blogspot.com) sebagai tempat buku-buku yang gratis. Buku-buku ini kebanyakan klasik, jadi belum tentu ada semua buku di sana.
Hari ini, for some reason, situs mereka down. Itu tidak jadi masalah, karena mereka punya banyak mirror. Aku mengakses salah satunya, ftp://ftp.archive.org/pub/
1. Ambil file GUTINDEX.ALL. Itu berisi daftar buku mereka
2. Bukalah file itu dengan Ms Word, Open Office Text Document, Notepad, Crimson Editor, dst. Carilah buku yang ingin dibaca. Contoh, dengan find, aku menemukan agamemnon.
3. Agamemnon itu di baris 3251, tertulis "Agamemnon, by Aeschylus 14417"
4. 14417 ini adalah kode yang kita cari
5. Karena nomer kodenya, aku mencari di ftp://ftp.archive.org/pub/etext/1/4/4/1/ dengan Opera, Firefox, Internet Explorer dst. Ini aku dapat dari nomor 14417, aku cari di folder 1, lalu 4, lalu 4 dan seterusnya berdasarkan nomornya. Di folder itu ada folder 14410 sampai 14419. Aku pilih 14417. Kalau mau langsung ke foldernya, ftp://ftp.archive.org/pub/etext/1/4/4/1/14417.
6. Isi folder nya:
14417-8.txt Text Document 141 KB 22/12/2004 10:26:00
14417-8.zip Compressed (zipped) Folder 58 KB 22/12/2004 10:26:00
14417.txt Text Document 141 KB 22/12/2004 10:26:00
14417.zip Compressed (zipped) Folder 58 KB 22/12/2004 10:26:00
Karena semuanya cuma teks (tidak tersedia dalam html), aku ambil txt. Supaya cepat, aku ambil yang sudah dikompres dalam format zip. Aku klik
14417.zip Compressed (zipped) Folder 58 KB 22/12/2004 10:26:00
7. Udah deh.. Selamat mencoba.

Move in

Di mana ya?

Di mana ya?
Di mana ya? Sepertinya tertinggal di suatu tempat? Kenapa rasanya ada yang ketinggalan?

triste

Everything went back to being slow. Need readjustment.
