Another Mentality Test

2006-01-08T03:56:00.000+01:00

There is a story about a girl.

While at the funeral of her mother, she met a guy whom she never seen before. She thought this guy was amazing, so much her dream guy. She believed him to be just that, she fell in love with him there but never asked for his number and then...

A few days later the girl killed her own sister.

Question: What is her motive in killing her sister?

Give this some thought for a while before you scroll down.

Answer: She was hoping that the guy would appear at the funeral again.

If you didn't answer correctly - good for you!

If you answered this correctly, you think like a psychopath.

If your friends answered this correctly, I suggest that you keep your distance.

Future Emailing Services

2006-01-06T11:28:00.000+01:00

I figured out that Future Me is not the only future emailing service. There are many other website with this kind of service. So if you would like to send an email to yourself or your friend, such that it is delivered at a future date, like on 1st January 2020 or any other future time, there are several unique email services which make it possible.

Here is a list of future emailing services:

FutureMe. I had blogged about this service before. No registration needed, just required the email address, subject, message and the date to be sent in the future. The drop menu shows the last year as 2036. You can also keep the email private or as a anonymous public one.

FutureMail. You can send reminders, notes, or any information you want to have in the future. You can even share your future items in a public RSS feed or your own FutureMail Blog. Registration required.

Mail to the Future. It Allows you to send mail to yourself or others at a specified date and time in the future. Requires registration and "your browser must send us a cookie that contains an encoded password.

MyLastEmail. This one if you know that you're going to die soon =D, it allows you to store personal information and deliver them to any addres you specify once you have passed away. You can store text, images and audio messages for free. Registration needed, and there is a limit of file can be stored. They charge a fee if you want to store more.

Consider about these before you send an email in future.

Will these services exist till the period you want the email to be sent?
Do they guarantee that your email will be delivered?
Are you really sure that your email address remain the same in the future?
What if they use or sell your email for spamming purposes?

Another Old Photo

Just feel like wanna post a picture, another interesting old photograph.

Never again a President mingles with streetwise mechanics

Soekarno, the first president of Indonesia (on the right, in all white). This photo was taken at 1947

Google Braille Logo

2006-01-05T06:47:00.000+01:00

I've just realize that google has been using that Braille sign as their logo, in order to celebrating the life and birth of Louis Braille. Google is in its way recognizing the efforts of great minds that have made the world more accessible to people with disabilities.

Louis Braille, who was born with normal sight but entirely blind at the age of 3 because of an injury, is the inventor of Braille system which is a writing and printing system for blind or visually impaired people. In Braille alphabet, each letter is represented as a raised pattern that can be read by touching with the fingers.

Cheap USB Stick

2006-01-02T01:37:00.000+01:00

Everyone likes cheap stuff. I do, and I swear I'll never suggest anyone to buy a cheap made in China USB stick.

Just Take a look at the picture on the left, it's pretty self-explanatory. =D

Old Jakarta

2005-12-28T04:36:00.000+01:00

This is a vintage photo of Jakarta:

I got this photo from someone in a mailing list, and this is just one from many pictures from him. He didn't give information where the location on the photograph is nor when the photograph was taken.

There's always this kind of emotional feelings when I looking at old photographs, you know, a weird impression, and I'm thinking like, it is not just a photograph, it's a screenshot of a scene that really happened in the past, a history. Even they said thousand words cannot replace a picture.

OK, so I was looking a little bit closer at the photo. At the first glance, I noticed the "muara" sign on the left top corner. My wild guess is it might be somewhere in North Jakarta(because muara means estuary), maybe around 1960's by looking at the vehicles. There are also some people with their bycyles on that photo. Yeah, that made me sure that it is North Jakarta, where many of those bicycles still exist nowadays.

Below is another picture of the city in present time.

Jakarta today's always busy and crowded, like many other big cities in developing countries in Asia.

Indexing Service

2005-12-26T08:06:00.000+01:00

A friend asked me what it is, after he saw a popup notification box regarding indexing service bla bla,,, on his monitor. Ten minutes searching from google and got some info, this is all I can say about indexing service.

Indexing service is a sevice in win xp/2k which create and update indexes of contents and properties of all files on local and network drives, so you can search for them quickly. Some people says indexing service consumes huge amounts of RAM and often can make a computer endlessly loud and noisy.

By default, this service turned on and always run on NTFS partition and can slow down performance of your pc because it has to index files continuously.

If you're rarely searching file in your drives, indexing service is completely unnessesary. Turning off this service will increase overall pc performance and slow down searching process.

There are several ways to turn off this service:

Go to the Control Panel -> click Add/Remove Programs -> click the Add/Remove Window Components -> simply unclick the Indexing services and click next.
Open My Computer -> right-click on a Drive icon -> Select Properties -> Remove the checkmark from "Allow Indexing Service to index this disk for fast file searching" -> Click Apply. Make sure to select "Apply changes to :\, subfolders and files." before clicking OK in the new window.
You can navigate to: Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services -> Disable Indexing Services.

By the way, I've disable it in my computer, but I didn't notice a big difference. =D

Chainletters

2005-12-26T05:28:00.000+01:00

For normal people, receiving chainletter might be the most stupid and anoying things ever. In general, there are 4 types of Chainletter.

Chainletter type 1

Hello, and thank you for reading this letter. You see, there is a starving little boy in Bubblaliviatatosen who has no arms, no legs, no parents, and no goats. This little boy's life could be saved, because for every time you pass this on, a dollar will be donated to the Little Starving Legless Armless Goatless Boy from Bubblaliviatatosen Fund. Remember, we have no way of counting letters sent and this is all bull. So go on, reach out.

Send this to 5 people in the next 47 seconds. Oh, and a reminder-if you accidentally send this to 4 or 6 people, you will die instantly.

Thanks again!!
Chainletter type 2

As if you care, here is a poem that I wrote. Send it to every one of your friends.

Friends

-A friend is an angel, someone who is always at your side,
-A friend is someone who likes you even though you smell like poop,
-A friend is someone who likes you even though you're disgustingly ugly,
-A friend is someone who cleans up for you after you've soiled yourself,
-A friend is someone who stays with you all night while you cry about your loser life,
-A friend is someone who pretends they like you when they really think you should be raped by a mad goat and then thrown to vicious dogs,
-A friend is someone who scrubs your toilet and vacuums and then gets the check and leaves and doesn't speak much English, no sorry that's the cleaning lady,
-A friend is not someone who sends you chain letters because he wants his wish of his crush doing the nasty with him to come true.
Chain Lettertype 3

Hi there!! This chain letter has been in existence since 1897. This is absolutely incredible because there was no email then and probably not as many little 8 year olds writing chain letters. So this is how it works. Pass this on to 1,5067 people in the next 7 minutes or something horrible will happen to you like:

Queer Horror Story #1
Miranda Pinsley was walking home from school on Saturday. She had recently received this letter and ignored it. She then tripped in a crack in the sidewalk, fell into the sewer, was gushed down a drainpipe in a flood of poopie, and went flying out over a waterfall. Not only did she smell nasty, she died.

This Could Happen To YOU!!!

Queer Horror Story #2
Dexter Bip, a 13 year old boy, got a chain letter in his mail and ignored it. Later that day, he was hit by a car and so was his boyfriend (hey, some people swing that way). They both died and went to hell. They continued to suffer in hell where they were both cursed to eat adorable kittens every day for eternity.

This Could Happen To You!!!

Remember, you could end up like Pinsley and Bip did. Just send this letter to all of your loser friends, and everything will be OK.

Wasn't that fun? Hope you made a great wish. Now, to make you feel guilty, here's what I'll do. First of all, if you don't send this to 5096 people in the next 5 seconds, you will be raped by a mad goat and then thrown off a high building into a pile of manure. It's true! Because, you know, THIS letter isn't like all of those fake ones, THIS one is TRUE!! Really!!!

Here's how it goes:

*Send this to 1 person: One person will be pissed off at you for sending him/her a stupid chain letter.
*Send this to 2-5 people: 2-5 people will be pissed off at you for sending them a stupid chain letter.
*5-10 people: 5-10 people will be pissed off at you for sending them a stupid chain letter.
*10-20 people: 10-20 people will be pissed off at you for sending them a stupid chain letter.
*20 to 674, 951 1/2 people: 20 to 674, 951 1/2 people will be pissed off at you for sending them a stupid chain letter.

Thanks!!!! Good Luck!!!

Now that we've covered and dumped on the four main types of chainletters into ironic part, in order for this to get some popularity, send it on! If you don't think it was funny at all, don't bother, but forward this sucker to everyone you know!

Thanks Yahoo!!!

More than a week after established, this blog managed to get a top position on Yahoo! search with keyword "bram zero" or "synthetic heartbeats". Hope this position will last for a long time, not only in yahoo! search engine but also in google, msn search, etc...

But still, there are many things I have to do to optimize this blog for search engine. I wonder when will this blog crawled and have a good position in search engines other than Yahoo!? I guess I got to learn more about Search Engine Optimization(SEO) and stuff. Having a site with good position in search engines is a dream of all webmaster.

Once again, Thanks Yahoo!!!

Merry Christmas

2005-12-25T02:53:00.000+01:00

In the days leading up to christmas, there are so much subtle signs of holiday everywhere. But the season doesn't seems make most people happier after all. It is just all about commercialization, the pressure to buy presents, prepare an ideal dinner and christmas party. Pretending so damn hard to be so happy to impress everybody around you just manages to bring out the worst. The older I get, the harder it is to be excited during the christmas season.

It seems that the only people who genuinely excited during the christmas season are kids, which might makes it a little bit worthwhile.

Merry Christmas.

Day and Night

2005-12-24T01:27:00.000+01:00

The photograph on the left was taken by the crew on board the Columbia during its last mission, on a cloudless day, showing Europe and Africa when the sun is setting. Right half of the picture is in night and the bright dots you see are the cities lights.

Note that the lights are already on in Holland, Paris, and Barcelona, and that's it's still daylight in Dublin, London, Lisbon, and Madrid.

The sun is still shining on the Strait of Gibraltar. The Mediterranean Sea is already in darkness.

In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean you can see the Azores Islands; below them to the right are the Madeira Islands; a bit below are the Canary Islands; and further South, close to the farthest western point of Africa, are the Cape Verde Islands.

Note that the Sahara is huge and can be seen clearly both during day time and night time.

To the left, on top, is Greenland, always totally frozen.

They're Only Chasing Safety

2005-12-24T00:34:00.000+01:00

Unlike Underoath previous albums, They're Only Chasing Safety takes yet another step away from metal into hardcore punk. Overall, this album is much more melodic and focussing less on screaming. They totally leaved the heavy style in their first release. I bet most of old fans won't like this and started to find something else to listen. But with this change, Underoath definitely draw a lot of new fans who love this genre.

Anyway, they still stand above the other bands similar to them and I'm on my opinion that the singer has a good singing voice. And if he's going to have clean vocals, just stop fucking screaming or just screaming all over the song and leave the clean vocals at all. That's all I have to say about this.

Below is a clip of Underoath performing Reinventing Your Exit, the most radio friendly track in They're Only Chasing Safety.

Father William

2005-12-23T07:09:00.000+01:00

This is a "think thank" classic question I did just minutes ago.

Father William Rides Again
by K.H. "Wicks" Wikremasinghe

A young boy asked Old Father William how he has the strength to cycle twice a day on a triangular course.
To this, Old Father William said, "In the morning, I ride the 15-mile flat section of the course at 20 mph. Then I ride the uphill section of the course at 15 mph. I coast downhill in 25 minutes to finish the course. It takes me a total time of 102 minutes to do this. In the evening, I ride in the opposite direction. Uphill first, then downhill, and then the 15-mile flat section. It takes me three minutes longer in the evening. I maintain the same speed uphill, downhill and on the flat section in the evening as in the morning."

What is the length of the course?

One Nite In Mongkok

2005-12-23T06:46:00.000+01:00

Derek Yee's One Nite in Mongkok (2004) isn't ordinary Hong Kong triad film by any means. Stared by Daniel Wu and Cecilia Cheung, One Nite In Mongkok is a genre with more thought and hits to the gut than most.

With its criss-crossing lives, dizzying coincidences and karmic symmetries, One Nite In Mongkok is a taut crime thriller that moonlights as morality tale and allegory of Hong Kong's relationship with mainland China.

This 36-hour narrative right smack in the middle of the busy area of Mongkok, which described not only as commercial quarter of Hong Kong's Kowloon province and the place with most density in the world, but also a focal point for many of the contradictions in contemporary Hong Kong society.

Basically This film was bound to hold more complexities than your average triad/cops flick.

History of Google

2005-12-23T06:39:00.000+01:00

Google began as a research project in January 1996 by Larry Page and Sergey Brin, two Ph.D. students at Stanford. They developed the hypothesis that a search engine based on analysis of the relationships between Web sites would produce improved results over the basic techniques then in use (At the time, other search engines ranked results essentially based on how many times the search term appeared on a page) It was originally nicknamed BackRub because the system checked backlinks to estimate a site's importance.

The domain google.com was registered on September 15, 1997. They formally incorporated their company, Google Inc., on September 7, 1998 at a friend's garage in Menlo Park, California.

In March 1999, the company moved into offices at 165 University Avenue in Palo Alto, home to a number of other noted Silicon Valley technology startups. Google received a big break in 1999 when one of the most popular search engines, AltaVista, relaunched itself as a user Web entry point, or portal. This unexpected change alienated part of AltaVista's user base. Google quickly outgrew its University Avenue home. After outgrowing two subsequent sites, the company settled into a complex of buildings (referred to by some as "The Googleplex") in Mountain View at 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, in 2003.

The Google search engine attracted a loyal following among the growing number of Internet users. They were attracted to its simple, uncluttered, clean design — a competitive advantage to attract users who did not wish to enter searches on web pages filled with visual distractions. This appearance, while imitating the early AltaVista, had behind it Google's unique search capabilities. In 2000, Google began selling advertisements associated with the search keyword to produce enhanced search results for the user. This strategy was important for increasing advertising revenue, which is based upon the number of "hits" users make upon ads. The ads were text-based in order to maintain an uncluttered page design and to maximize page loading speed. It also only cost a very small amount per click to the websites that advertised this way. The model of selling keyword advertising was originally pioneered by Goto.com (renamed Overture, and now Yahoo! Search Marketing). While many of its dot-com rivals failed in the new Internet marketplace, Google quietly rose in stature while generating revenue.

U.S. Patent 6,285,999 describing Google's ranking mechanism (PageRank) was granted on September 4, 2001. The patent was officially assigned to Stanford University and lists Lawrence Page as the inventor.

In February 2003, Google acquired Pyra Labs, owner of Blogger, a pioneering and leading weblog hosting Web site. Some analysts considered the acquisition inconsistent with Google's business model. However, the acquisition secured the company's competitive ability to use information gleaned from blog postings to improve the speed and relevance of articles contained in a companion product to the search engine, Google News.

At its peak in early 2004, Google handled upwards of 84.7 percent of all search requests on the World Wide Web through its Web site and through its partnerships with other Internet clients like Yahoo!, AOL, and CNN. In February 2004 Yahoo! dropped its partnership with Google in order to provide users at its site independent search results and to maintain their loyalty. Google lost user share of the search market. Yet Yahoo!'s move highlighted Google's own distinctiveness and today the verb "to google" has entered a number of languages first as a slang verb and now as a standard word meaning, "to perform a web search".

Google's Halloween 2005 LogoThe Google site includes humorous features such as cartoon modifications of the Google logo to recognize special occasions and anniversaries, known as "Google Doodles". Not only may decorative drawings be attached to the logo, but as well the font design may mimic a fictional or humorous language such as the Star Trek Klingon and Leet. The logo is notorious among web users for April Fool's Day tie-ins and jokes about the company.

Analysts speculate that Google's response to Yahoo! will be to continue to make technical and visual enhancements to personalized searches, using the personal data that is gathering from Orkut, Gmail, and Froogle to produce unique results based on the user. Frequently, new Google enhancements or products appear in its inventory. Products and demos Google Labs, the experimental section of Google.com help Google maximize its relationships with its users by including them in the beta development, design and testing stages of new products and enhancements of already existing ones.

Future Me

2005-12-23T04:46:00.000+01:00

I'm not talking about myself. This is about another interesting site. The idea is to write an email now, and send it automatically in the future time you've defined. You can define the sending exact date and year, up till year 2035.

Maybe some of you have a question like this in mind: "is this another way to collect people email for spamming purposes?"

I do not know for sure, but they guarantee that your email address is kept strictly confidential and will ONLY be used for the purpose of you sending an email to your future self.

In their site they stated:

"FutureMe.org is based on the principle that memories are less accurate than emails. we strive for accuracy."

Narcissist

2005-12-23T04:10:00.000+01:00

I've been hearing this word so often and some peoplo who ever say this word even doesn't really know what it is really mean nor where the word is come from.

In Greek mythology, Narcissus was spurned by his lovers when he fell in love with his own reflection. He was so consumed by his image that he could not eat or drink.

He finally died of his own self love.

The moral of this story: you wouldn't want to become a narcissist.

Shutdown Timer

2005-12-21T22:55:00.000+01:00

On my previous post, I've written about how to shutdown a computer using shortcut button. Beside the shortcut, it is also possible to shutdown or restart your computer using countdown timer. Both tricks are only work on window xp/2000.

First, open the command prompt, by clicking start >> run >> and type cmd to run the program. In command prompt do the following:

To restart, type: shutdown -r -t 900 then press enter
To shutdown, type: shutdown -s -t 900 then press enter

(-r = restart, -s = shutdown, -t 900 = set countdown timer 900 sec.)

To view the list of available shutdown commands we can type: shutdown /?

If you want to cancel the shutdown timer you can use this command: shutdown -a

There is also another different way to restart or shutdown your computer using timer. Other than using command prompt, we create a batch file (using text editor, for example notepad) by typing the same command like in command prompt. Save as the file, and make sure the file extension is .bat. Executing this file will running the command you've written and shutdown / restart your computer after the countdown timer is end.

Face Illusion

2005-12-21T19:24:00.000+01:00

If we take a look at the picture below, we must be simply assume that the guy's on the left pose an angry face and the woman on the right with her calm and cool expression.

Now stand up and move away from your chair, make some distance approximately 2 or 3 meter from the monitor.

What do you see now? Looks weird huh?

This Illusion picture created by Phillipe G. Schyns and Aude Oliva from Glasgow University.

So the moral of the story is: what we see and believe is not always true.

XAMPP

2005-12-21T16:49:00.000+01:00

We know that it's not easy to install an Apache web server, and it gets harder if you want to add PHP or MySQL. All of those software must be configured manually one by one and connected each other if you want to working with them together.

Fortunately there are some programmers from Apache Friends who created XAMPP.XAMPP is a compilation of free software distribution containing Apache, PHP, MySQL, and Perl. XAMPP is very easy to install and to use, we can just download, extract and start using it.

I've tried this software, and during the instalation process, it's automatically installed Apache server, PHP, MySQL, Perl, and also FileZilla FTP server. After that, just some basic setting configuration was needed, and we can start working. Very simple and helpful for beginner.

XAMPP is a proof that free software doesn't have to be bad.

The Real Ultimate Power

2005-12-21T07:47:00.000+01:00

For all of you who don't know about the real ninja, I'm telling you: there are 3 facts which define the feature of the real ninja.

Ninjas are mammals.
Ninjas fight ALL the time.
The purpose of the ninja is to flip out and kill people.

These true facts are based on ninja research center www.RealUltimatePower.net.

If you've entered the sites you might said it is the worst site in the entire world, but for me it's the funniest site I’ve ever visited in entire human existence.
=D

RealUltimatePower.net is certainly entertaining, love it or hate it.

Cycling

2005-12-21T07:12:00.000+01:00

As you maybe already know, cycling is the most popular transportation in the Netherlands. Even some people said Netherlands is cyclist's heaven. Yeah, that's might be true since there are dedicated cycle paths and bike facilities everywhere. But in my cycling experience that's not always true, it is possible that in some areas the roads and cycle paths are badly paved and very uncomfortable to cycle.

And the worst thing is: bike theft.

Last year, more than 900,000 bikes stolen in the Netherlands, that number excluding unreported cases.

The risk of your bike getting stolen is especially severe in the larger towns (notably Amsterdam) and area with a large student population. I mean, they are the market for cheap second hand bikes.

A strong lock and big chain is very essential to secure your bike. It isn't advisable to leave your bike outside at night or even at noon. It's always a good thing to keep an eye on the bike as often as possible.

And in any case my advice is: ride it or lock it.

Mental Capacity

2005-12-20T21:58:00.000+01:00

Shutdown Shortcut

2005-12-19T21:01:00.000+01:00

If you're using windows xp, normally it takes some time just Shutting down Windows, you have to move your mouse to the Start Button, click on it, move it again over Turn Off Computer, click it, then move it over the dialog box on the center of your monitor, click, then move the cursor over the OK button and once again click. It's pretty annoying sometimes.

But there is a quick way to do the whole process, by creating shortcuts on the desktop. These shortcuts will shut down or restart Windows at the click of a button.

1. Restart Shortcut

>> Start by creating a new shortcut( right click on the desktop and select New Shortcut). Then in the command line box, type:

C:windowsrundll.exe user.exe,exitwindowsexec

2. Shutdown Shortcut

>> To create a Shortcut to Shutting Windows, do the same thing as creating restart shortcut, but type the following in the command line box:

C:windowsrundll.exe user.exe,exitwindows

Click it and the shortcut will execute the command without any warning.

Amzanig huh?

Whoa, a little bit dizzy, but yeah it's pretty amazing. For some moments I thought about it over and over again and couldn't get those sentences out of my head, until somehow I realized something. It simply doesn't work for all words.

Then I replied him:

The very first time I heard 'blog' term long time ago, I ran into this very interesting article: "Why I Fucking Hate Weblogs!" wrote by Donald Brook. And I wasted my 15 minutes to do the "Weblog Author Personality Quiz".

Here's my result:
Congratulations! You're a totally normal person. Why are you even taking this survey?

As I started to discover and read random blogs that spread all over the internet, including blogs written by some friends, I realize that in some cases his opinion is totally true:
Reading stupid crappy blogs can lead you to a point when you feel like wanna stab the authors in the eyes with a blunt rusty knife.

Well, this doesn't has something to do with my intention to start this blog anyway.

So the conclusion is: I'm a totally abnormal person.

And if on a later time you planning to stab me, sharpen the knife first please.
