Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. (Romans 12:2, ESV)

Announcing the release of Fedora 8 (Werewolf)
Posted on November 9th, 2007 by john.
Categories: FOSS, fun.
(To the tune of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”)
It’s close to midnight and something cool is coming through the “tubes”
It’s looking real tight, a distro for the experts and the n00bs
With Live CDs* so you can try it out before installing
Or DVDs so you can have the packages you choose
No way to lose
‘Cause it’s Fedora, Fedora 8
We’d love to have you join us and together we’ll be great
Using Fedora, Fedora 8
Just click the link and rescue your computer’s future today
Hotplugging speakers, you realize PulseAudio is sweet
You feel the power of kernel 2.6.23
You close your eyes but then you can’t see all the gorgeous artwork
You want online? New NetworkManager helps you explore
And try out BigBoard
‘Cause it’s Fedora, Fedora 8
This is the leading edge of free and open source today
You’ve got Fedora, Fedora 8
A brand-new shiny desktop with the latest, greatest awaits
(BRIDGE)
Now firewalls, you will find, are a ball to configurate
Virtual hosts you can manage the most secure way
(It makes your day)
Now you can authenticate
They’re out to get you, security enhancements stop them cold
You want your codecs? Codeina is the legal way to go
We’ve got the spins — developers, electronics, and gaming
And that’s not all, we wanted to make sure your Java’s free
So we’ve got IcedTea
Inside Fedora, Fedora 8
We promise Number 9 is no more than six months away, world
Fedora, Fedora 8
So get aboard the torrent, share Fedora, score a new Fedora, by next May
‘Cause it’s Fedora, Fedora 8
You get to keep both pieces anytime that something breaks, girl
Fedora, Fedora 8
If only Vincent Price could read this killer filler:
“Werewolf” moves across the land
Router meltdowns close at hand
Sysadmins in search of blood
For those who caused this bandwidth flood
And whosoever took the risk
But failed to make an extra disc
Must face the Bastard Op from Hell
And lose his access to the shell
The best of Linux now is here
To kill the FUD and strike with fear
The hearts of those who steal your rights
And hide their code far from your sight
Closed source takes away what’s yours
But you’ll never shake the horror
Until you taste the freedom and
The power of FEDORA!

john: HORRAAYYY!!! 
SD Kelas 1
Posted on November 2nd, 2007 by john.
Categories: General, stupid things.
Belakangan ini, di berbagai mailing list yang saya ikuti, ada posting mengenai tragisnya hubungan antara orang tua dan anak di Indonesia, yang menurut pengirim terwakili dengan gambar ini (dikutip tanpa izin, maaf sebelumnya):
Tapi, bagi saya, soal itu yang salah kaprah.
- Soal-soal seperti ini yang membuat anak Indonesia bodoh. Sama sekali merugikan bagi anak itu, bisa membuat anak itu akhirnya cuma tahu menghafal saja, apalagi kalau si anak protes, gurunya tetap ngotot dan menyalahkan si anak. (Adakah anak kelas 1 yang protes nilai?)
- Dari segi interpretasi gambar ke-3 jawaban di nomer 2 itu jawaban A & B benar, apalagi kalau ternyata ayahnya adalah seorang cross-dresser, maka ke-3 jawaban (A-B-C) itu benar.
- Yang menjawab ini pasti anak-kota. Soalnya mana ada lagi sekarang ibu-ibu di kota pakai kebaya gituan di rumah? Kecuali ya si Mbok.. Apalagi rambutnya lebih mirip dikonde daripada dire-bonding.
- Bagi saya sebenarnya justru gambar itu adalah gambar seorang wanita ingin mematahkan leher si anak… jadi kata siapa ini tentang kasih sayang?? (sengaja 2 tanda-tanya!)
Anak SD kelas 1 kok disodori pertanyaan yang butuh interpretasi dan pemahaman seperti ini, udah gitu ambigu pula gambarnya. Mestinya menurut saya kalau anak SD harus disodori gambar, harus gambar ibu-anak yang familiar bagi mereka, contohnya mungkin gambar Marge & Bart Simpsons. Itu baru harus disalahkan kalau si anak masih pilih pembantu. Tapi itupun relatif, kalau si anak tidak pernah lihat serial The Simpsons gimana?
Kalau soal no. 1 atau 3 masih mending, tidak ada interpretasi, justru lebih menggunakan nalar.
Mari kita protes yang buat soalnya
