Priyadi’s Place

Sifat yang tidak dewasa, kesimpulan prematur, tuduhan tak berdasar serta email panjang yang tidak berbobot selalu menjadi ciri khas pakar gadungan Roy Suryo. Kali ini masalahnya dipicu oleh sebuah email yang berasal dari roy.suryo@gmail.com yang mengaku sebagai Roy Suryo. Email ini berisi penawaran invitation gmail yang dikirim ke mailing list ITB. Kemudian Eko me-redirect email ke mailing list telematika dan mailing list genetika.

After several hours compiling and waiting for a chance to restart X, finally I got X.org 6.8 running with drop shadow and transparency. These are what I did to achieve that under Gentoo Linux.

Kemarin saya menerima spam berbahasa Indonesia yang isinya kurang lebih bercerita tentang cerita sukses Anne Ahira, seorang mojang Bandung yang konon sangat sukses dalam berbisnis di Internet. Saya sendiri menerima banyak spam, tetapi karena spam ini ditulis dalam Bahasa Indonesia dan jarang menerima spam dalam Bahasa Indonesia, spam ini tidak tertangkap oleh filter bayesian yang saya pasang.

Spam tersebut bercerita bahwa Anne Ahira memiliki penghasilan ribuan dolar sebulan dari Internet. Kemudian diceritakan juga bahwa dia telah diwawancarai oleh berbagai macam media di Indonesia. Juga disebutkan bahwa karena telah diwawancarai oleh media massa, maka artikelnya memiliki kredibilitas yang tinggi. (ingat “As seen on Oprah and CNN!”?)

X.org 6.8.0 is finally out! This is the much anticipated release that includes many long awaited features. The Gentoo project already has the testing ebuild pushed to rsync mirrors in less than 24 hours, excellent work guys! If you don’t already know, the X.org ebuild is very solid. Despite numerous changes from the last XFree86 releases, it was a breeze upgrading from XFree86. I’m compiling this right now, should be finished in a few hours.

John Gruber of Markdown fame kindly let me know that it is easy to insert code blocks without reindenting. Just use the old fashioned <pre>...</pre>. Thanks John!

Another explosion, not much I can say about that. But these are some independent web pages that have a few pictures of the incident:

• kayshifa.net
• indoradio.net
• adhi.web.id
• gunung.pantai.org
• zikri.com
• adypermadi.com

The subject says it all. I’m currently using Markdown. However as you can see on my other post it does too much to my code blocks. Code blocks don’t need quote prettying, thank you very much! It also requires me to use at least four spaces for indenting, it really does require a very good eyesight to be able to count that much spaces when I need to reedit the code later on. The alternative is to use tabs, but with the web browsers I’m using, tabs are used to move focus between form elements!

I would prefer Wikipedia’s syntax, it only requires one space. Or even better: PHPWiki’s syntax, which doesn’t require reindenting at all. Is there any way to use any of those syntax on a WordPress blog?

Earlier this week I tried to register with both Multiply.com and Skype, but my traditional username ‘priyadi’ has already been taken . Having a name that is not usual almost anywhere in the world, I’m very used to the privilege to use my first name if any web site asks me for a username, no need to resort to witty nick names or special numbers after names thing.

After having a few dozens servers, just opening remote shell to each servers is becoming tedious. This is a simple shell script I wrote to open multiple session on the running Konsole. Put the sessions you want to open in $SESSION variable, and make sure you have the sessions already created in Konsole:
