Kepada Bapak Rektor UGM:
Lapor! Saya kesulitan mencari mirror repo Fedora di network UGM (untuk repo EXTRAS)

Lapor! Apakah saya boleh mengklaim bahwa UGM sama sekali tidak serius dengan OSS.

Lapor! Saya kesal dengan kampus ini.

  • Amarok, UI is frozen when playing a song
  • PHP is still 5.1.2, needed: 5.2.x
  • Beryl, emerald not running:
    error while loading shared libraries: libXRes.so.1: failed to map segment from shared object: Operation not permitted

    . SELinux problem?

  • libfreetype.la does not exist. WTF, it should have been provided by freetype-devel package. Fuck it, I only got libfreetype.so.

OMFG, WTF!. I should have chosen clean install. Darn low space issue.

Upgrading Fedora Core 4 to Fedora Core 6

Finally I made the decision to upgrade my current FC4. Quite adventurous but I’ll kepp it short: I made it using NFS ‘way’. I made a new boot entry, using vmlinuz and initrd image copied from a FC6 ISO. Booted my machine, and pick the install from NFS. Setup my IP and the NFS share, then went through usual update stages.

My KDe was borked. But solved by installing gcc-3.4 compat packages. FC6 comes with gcc 4.1 libs stock, I read it on mjmwired. There’s still 600 packages not upgraded, obvisouly will be my homework. Some apps were removed during apt-get install –fix-broken. Will catch up later, using trial and error method (read: do daily activity and install as necessary)

Yup, that’s it. No fancy tricks.

Another (silly) wish

Somehow, I just cannot forget what I’ve seen few weeks ago: RC car, and RC helicopter. OMG, now they are on my wishlist. Hmm, I wonder wether I can buy it next month. Darn, budget is so damn tight. :(

Aishi, Aisare, Aishiau

Pardon me, this is a song lyric. Pardon the noise.

愛してるからはじめよ

é›…-miyavi-

“aishiteru” kara hajimeyou

donna ni tsuyogattemo bokura wa ai no te no hira no ue de dakiatteru

aishi, aisare, aishiau…

soshite mata, soko kara ai ga umareru

“aishiteru” kara hajimeyou

dore dake kizutsuitemo bokura wa ai no te no hira no ue de, sore de mo mata aishiau

ai tte nan darou, nan nandarou?

nante kangaeru hitsuyou no nai mono ga ai da to boku wa omounda

I love you, I love you, I love you,

soko kara bokura wa hajimaru

I love you, I love you, I love you,

kou da, mata ashita kimi ni tsutaeyou

sou shiyou

Translation:

Let’s begin from “I love you”

No matter how tough we act, we are holding each other on the palms of love.

Loving, being loved, loving each other…

And again, from there love is born

Let’s start from “I love you”

No matter how much we hurt, we are on the palms of love, we can still love each other again

What it love, what is love I wonder?

A thing that does not need be thought about, is love, I think.

I am me, and as you are you, love is love.

I love you, I love you, I love you,

We’ll start from there

I love you, I love you, I love you,

Yes, I’ll tell you again tomorrow

I shall

If I were to look into the future…

You probably have known how much I adore web 2.0 spirit. I’ve just gain a pretty retarded insight tonight. You know, it would have been no longer web 2.0 when I’ve reach the required level to jump into the band wagon. So, if I were to look into the future, I should correct my vision now. Should be something more abstract, not quite real, less specific but also have room to grow. Yeah, that’s look a deep shit for me :p. Oh, look just how I love to put myself into some sort of challenges. Like I have more room to put another stuff into my brain. Totally a moron :))

Kenapa?

February 20, 2007 · Filed Under General · 1 Comment 

Kenapa tiba-tiba tulisan saya hilang? Apakah tadi saya menekan tombol delete, alih-alih tombol publish. Apakah kepala saya terlalu pusing hari ini. Sampai-sampai saya tidak ingat apa yang baru saja saya lakukan.

Seebanrya tadi sudah menulis tentang kepala saya yang sakit pagi ini. Entah akibat resistensi atau dejavu. Sayang tulisan dua paragraf pendeknya hilang. Padahal saya sudah lupa rincian kecilnya, walaupun sangat sedikti sebenarnya. Intinya, hari ini tidak seperti biasnaya, entah karean resistensi atau dejavu. Atau saya terllau serious,a tau malah kurang serious sehingga hanya bsia mencerna informasi secara dangkal.

Oh, kepalaku …

Infosys Outage?

February 19, 2007 · Filed Under General · Comment 

Tulisan ini sengaja saya taruh di sini juga, meskipun juga sudah saya post di internal forum, demi meraup audiens yang lebih banyak. So, gomen ne, buat yang merasa de javu :D

GigaOm menulis tentang gejolak perubahan iklim IT yang terjadi di India, ditandai dengan churn yang terjadi di Infosys. Bagi dunia IT, seringkali dipercaya bahwa turnover tinggi adalah suatu kewajaran. Tapi tentu saja ini tidak bisa ditelan mentah-mentah, tetap saja diperlukan suatu analisa sebelum bisa memaklumi turnover.

Poinnya apa? Banyak. Tergantung sejauh mana mau menyikapi.

  • Yang paling simple, ternyata juga sudah jadi pendapat umum bahwa untuk bertahan dan stay competitive, companies have to be bright and best.
  • Mengelola outsource company ternyata tidak semudah yang dibayangkan [:p], apalagi dalam mega company seperti Infosys. Eh, Infosys itu outsource company kan?
  • India is not all that cool. Ini bukan rasis lo. Hanya sekedar motivator untuk kepercayaan diri. Baca juga blognya didats (lagi down, dan lupa sepertinya dia nulis di sideblog yang gk ada permalinknya!) tentang resistensi programmer india terhadap teknologi baru (baca: CSS).
  • Lainnya? Saya ingin mendengar pendapat anda :)

Music Station Special Live

February 18, 2007 · Filed Under I love Japan · 1 Comment 

animax music station live superspecial

Though it was only a re-run of Music Station Special Live from Christmas show, I was stunned. I have never watch 43 artists in a row, further more in live format. The long 4 hours really worth it. Though sometimes I felt like watching some kinda “over-quota boy band” show, I still can notice the legends in between. Kinki Kids celebrating their 10th anniversary, SMAP (I don’t think they have good voices, especially the copilot from Good Luck!!!. I may be wring, I’m nto an audiophile :p) celebrates their 15th years! B’z is actually quite old, but rocks so much, and already well known for its blasting stage performance, literally. There’s also YUI, GLAY, an OST from new Ghibli movie (with the dragon thingy), Koda Kumi singing Yume No Uta, and Hamasaki-san singing JEWEL. Those two female singers is what I was waiting for. Nope I’m not a fan of BoA, though I like her Inuyasha OST, Heart no Kimochi (Every heart).

Kummi-chan voice is just as stunning as what I can always listen in my Amarok playlist, so does Hamasaki-san. I wonder Hikki doesn’t have much luck in 2006, thus cannot join the live :p. Or she may have been busy doing show somewhere else.

Sugoi, it was a really interesting experience. And it will be even omoshiroi since Animax will air Music Station regularly in March. Kyaaaa!!! ^_^ Uh Oh, Initial D and Onimusha in somming soon also in Animax. I’ll be looking forward for them, though I’m afraid I’ll be quite dissappointed since I cannot enjoy it in original language. Yare yare. It just can’t be helped, sadly.

J.Co Donuts May Harm Your Computer

February 17, 2007 · Filed Under General · 6 Comments 

Momon menulis di blognya, tentang google yang menaruh lebel: “This site may harm your computer” untuk situs jcodonut.com. dengan sedikit curiosity, dan dengan sedikit keyakinan bahwa Google tidak akan sembarangan unutk mengklaim suatu situs adalah berbahaya, maka saya beranikan diri untuk .. view source .. halah. Deanna menggunakan intusisi heker *huasyeng* (baca: yang aneh pasti mencurigakan) maka ditemukanlah sebaris kode javascript di bagian akhir source code halaman indeks jcodonut.
