Comment Spammers Have Arrived
For the first time this site got hit by a few dozens of comment spam today (if you don’t consider [these](https://priyadi.net/archives/2004/09/10/anne-ahira-bukanlah-pahlawan/) as comment spam). I hope it doesn’t get any worse than this because that was the primary reason I closed the first version of this blog a year ago. Of course, since I set… Continue reading Comment Spammers Have Arrived
Situs Terbaik?
Kontes pemilihan [situs terbaik](http://www.situsterbaik.com/) kembali diadakan. Situs terbaik mengambil satu pemenang dari lima nominasi yang ada pada setiap kategori. Ada 16 buah kategorisasi situs berdasarkan jenis situs. Tetapi apakah situs-situs yang menjadi nominasi tersebut mengikuti [standar web](http://www.w3.org) dengan baik? Saya mencoba melakukan [validasi HTML](http://validator.w3.org) pada seluruh situs yang menjadi nominasi tersebut. Validasi dilakukan secara default… Continue reading Situs Terbaik?

Estimating The Cost To Develop Software Using Conventional Means

Butuh Dana Untuk Kegiatan Richard Stallman
[Richard Stallman akan jadi ‘pentas’ di Bandung](https://priyadi.net/archives/2004/10/13/richard-stallman-ke-bandung/), tetapi masih ada kendala yang selalu menjadi masalah, yaitu masalah **DUIT**. Untuk menghadiri presentasi dari [Richard Stallman](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Stallman) tidak akan dipungut biaya. Tetapi tetap saja kami membutuhkan biaya untuk akomodasi beliau selama di Bandung. Atas laporan [Dicky](http://www.massaint.or.id), dana yang terkumpul saat ini baru sekitar Rp 1.7 juta. Itu pun… Continue reading Butuh Dana Untuk Kegiatan Richard Stallman
I Need A New Keyboard
My current keyboard has started acting funny. My Left Shift and Enter keys frequently don’t respond when I hit them. I’ve been pretty disappointed with this [Microsoft Natural Multimedia Keyboard](http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseandkeyboard/productdetails.aspx?pid=019). It worked OK only for first few months. After that, it requires considerable more force to push down the key, writing a lengthy document could… Continue reading I Need A New Keyboard
Why I’ve Chosen WordPress
My previous blog post about [blogging software marketshare](https://priyadi.net/archives/2004/10/13/marketshare-software-blogging-di-indonesia/) spurred many comments from veteran bloggers. As I stated before, long time bloggers prefer [MovableType](http://www.movabletype.org) to other blogging software. [Thomas](http://warnadunia.net/) has told the world [why he still uses MovableType](http://warnadunia.net/archives/2004/10/why_still_mt). [Avianto](http://home.avianto.com) also posted the entry titled [Why MovableType?](http://home.avianto.com/archives/2004/10/why_movable_type.html). And what are my reasons switching to [WordPress](http://www.wordpress.org)?
Complicated Mobile Blogging
Mobile blogging is not yet straightforward enough. At least that what I thought when I was struggling to make my last post about [my nephew](https://priyadi.net/archives/2004/10/15/my-nephew-naufal-was-born/). I originally wanted to make the post with my notebook, however for some reason its modem refused to function properly. So I was left with my trusty P900 smartphone to… Continue reading Complicated Mobile Blogging
My Nephew Naufal Was Born
I’m in Bandung now to visit my brother Fahmy and his wife Renny who just had their first baby. *Naufal Hafidz Aria Bangun* was born at 11:48 in 12 October 2004. He was 3.18 kg and 50cm tall at the time he was born. He is my first direct nephew and my parent’s first grandchild.
Won a Notebook!
I just won an [IBM Thinkpad T41p model 2373GEU](http://www5.pc.ibm.com/us/products.nsf/$wwwPartNumLookup/_2373GEU) on [eBay](http://www.ebay.com) for $2025! A bit more expensive than what I had hoped before. I was hoping to get it within 1800-1900 range, but it’s still a good deal since the seller claimed it is brand new, not refurbished. And also considering the model is no… Continue reading Won a Notebook!
