Germo menggelitik

Ada posting yang menggelitik tentang penggunaan Bahasa Indonesia yang benar. Biasanya kesalahan yang disinggung oleh pak “Polisi”:http://polisieyd.blogsome.com/ saya anggap kesalahan yang manusiawi tanpa mengurangi fakta bahwa hal itu memang keliru. Namun kritiknya kali ini sangat menggelitik saya. Tidak tanggung-tanggung, “Germo”:http://polisieyd.blogsome.com/2006/01/06/pengusaha-wanita-adalah-germo/ di bawa serta.

Memang kadang kala kita tidak memperhatikan aspek Menerangkan dan Diterangkan (MD-DM) ini. Padahal hanya gara-gara salah menempatkan kata, ternyata akibatnya bisa fatal. Bravo untuk pak Polisi! Selengkapnya, silakan baca di sana

PS. Kali ini, posting (apa ya Bahasa Indonesianya?) saya ini sudah diusahakan untuk menggunakan Bahasa Indonesia yang baik, semoga tidak jadi bahan sentilan pak Polisi juga

Check this out:
 

Above pictures are taken using a N6600(Nokia 6600)’s camera, in a hurry this morning.

My new Canon PowerShot S2 IS arrived yesterday, It’s just as nice as I expected it would be. This is (one of) my dream come true. I’ve been browsing and hunting for a good camera since I don’t know when, The hunt become more intense in the last year and a half. I have seen many cameras (but not buying one ), but none of them are cheap enough for me to buy hehehe..

So, about a month and a half ago, I receive my BCA(Bank Central Asia) Card bill, and like always there’s a shopping catalog accompanying the bill. To my surprise, this Camera is in that catalog, and here’s the treat: There’s no interest (0%) for 12 months payment plan. I don’t care if the price is not the lowest price on the market, but the 0% and 12 months plan works for me, so I mailed my order to BCA(Bank Central Asia) Marchendising department a few days later. But, out of 3 things I ordered, this camera has a little problem. By e-mail I was told that the camera is out of stock and new stock will arrive in Indonesia at the end of October. Well, there goes my chance. I’ve planned to use this camera on many big occasions during September. For one, there are a lot of events in my Church at that month. Another one, on October 5 there’s a big event that involves a very famous artist in Indonesia, that come to Makassar to join in birthday celebration with my former workplace (Radio Cristy Makassar). The artist was Ari Wibowo (yes, the scream maker ). During his visit in Makassar, I have the chance to pick him up at the airport, take him to the hotel, later on, take him (escort him to be precise) to the birthday event, and later on the next day, take him back to the airport. There’s no screenshot, because there’s no camera! (so, you know why I’m basbang.. I have sometimes violated tao no. 7)

DSL-Stick

Long time no post.. it’s hard to start writing again

Then, let’s just start with pictures:

And a last shot of my current desktop:

Mobile computing has come to a new era with this technology. The pictures you have seen above is a picture of my workstation at MCEC(Makassar Cyber Education Center), with a DSL(DamnSmallLinux) running. The distro I use daily is Fedora Core, which is installed on the hard drive of the pc you’ve seen above. But, using just a simple USB(Universal Serial Bus) Flash Drive, my machine is now running DSL, live.

The 512MB flash drive is a gift I give myself on my 25th birthday just recently , and it (I call it Jogr) is loaded with 2 linux distros on 2 partitions, one is DSL, which you’ve seen, and the other is SLAX, killbill edition. Too bad my machine cannot boot from SLAX, The BIOS only sees one partition of the Jogr, the first one, which contain DSL.

The installation of DSL is quite simple, and could be done from a running linux, with a simple 5 steps of installation, which you can read/find at DSL’s ftp server/mirrors. While the installation of SLAX was done using Window$, with a tool called MySlaxCreator or something like that

The other great thing about DSL, the OS can start in an ongoing Windows or Linux; OS inside OS, using QEMU. All you have to do is run a simple script called dsl-windows.bat (for windows) or dsl-linux.sh (for linux). And you have yourself a running copy of DSL right inside of your current Operating System.

This is something else, this is great, this is quite a revolution.

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!
