Ini berkaitan dengan kunjungan presiden kita(Indonesia) ke Amerika baru-baru ini. Saya juga baru nyadar ketika salah seorang peserta milis id-foss di googlegroups nanya, ada berapa orang kepala negara sih yang pernah ngunjungi BG?
Akhirnya saya coba nge-search.. hasilnya secara singkat:

- BG pernah ngunjungi/ketemu dengan presiden Maldives.
- BG juga pernah ngunjungi/ketemu dengan presiden Cina.
- BG pernah ketemu dengan presiden Ukraina (tapi ini kemungkinan = dead link, dan saya ngga bisa bahasa Ukraina).

Itu sebagian dari hasil search di google yang saya temukan.
Lucunya, tak satupun yang mengindikasikan bahwa si presiden _datang_ ngunjungi pak BG.. yang ada malah si BG yang datang ngunjungi pak pres… Aneh Lucu juga ya :)

Anyway, idup SBY!

I found this site long time ago, thebroken.org containing 3 video files about hacking and other stuff, check it out. They give you some information about hacking into networks and other security related issues. The last (3rd) video also includes an interview with Kevin Mitnick.

The main information of this post is, telling you about… I’ve recently (just about 5 minutes ago) downloaded a 4th release by this team, and its the first release of another series called the systm. check it out at their website at systm.org. Brief info, the video is about hacking into unencrypted wireless video camera.

happy downloading..

Cleaning Up

I’m cleaning up my hard-drives these days, making space for a big (’bout 15+Gb) library of resourceful files of Onno W. Purbo. Doing so, i need to delete some movies i’ve stored in my hdd, also some old setup files..

As I browse through my setup files, it’s amazing, how my windows’ application/setup files sum up to more than 8 Gb, compared to 3 Gb of linux files.. I must try to do more with linux. Of that 8 Gb, almost 2 Gb is allocated for Adobe‘s applications.. so that explains it. I’m (trying to take time) learning Gimp, it’s a lot like photoshop, but still very different in many ways.. and that’s frustating! Also with Audacity, quite similar to audition, but still, frustating!

Anyway, this is just an ‘iseng’ post, i’m posting this message using a program I got from fedora-extras archive.. I don’t even know the name, I’ve just installed a LOT of extra programs, and found this one hanging in my ‘start menu’ list of accesories.. I give it a try.. and… whaalaa.. there goes my ‘iseng’ post..

Funny (old) Game/Puzzle…, found it via planet.terasi.net, refering a post on Ariya Hidayat’s blog.

I solved it after about 5 minutes of thinking, but I didn’t try to compute heavily yet, just tried some substraction, addition and multiplication..
The key is .. (again) The name of the game is The Petals Around The Rose. :)
There’s also a story on how Bill Gates solve/play this game..

Try it!, hope it won’t take you days to solve it.. :)

Saya pikir hoax tentang 1 ons bukan 100 gram sudah mulai mereda, berhubung sudah banyak pihak yang memunculkan sanggahan (termasuk saya di beberapa milis yang saya ikuti). Tetapi ternyata berita konyol ini masih saja beredar di berbagai milis.

Berikut e-mail tanggapan saya yang berisi rangkuman tanggapan terhadap ‘artikel’ ini:

Use legal software.. If M$ is too expensive.. use linux and free/open source software.

This is my first post using w.bloggar.. neat!
I’ve installed this program long time ago, but I have the chance of using it (read: remember to use it) now.

Today, I attended HP’s Roadshow called HP Hot Serve, featuring Michael S. Sunggiardi, Onno W. Purbo and Frans Thamura.
