Ini saya baca dari [blognya MDAMT](http://aksi.mdamt.net/log/ar/2004-12-20-30/). Konon Roy Suryo mengetahui bahwa 68% data dari [Friendster](http://www.friendster.com) adalah palsu. Hal tersebut disampaikannya pada acara Bincang Pagi di MetroTV. 68% darimana saya tidak tahu, yang jelas pencarian dari Internet yang saya lakukan tidak dapat menunjukkan bukti ke arah sana, walaupun mungkin ini disebabkan terutama karena mesin pencari tidak… Continue reading Roy Suryo: 68% Data Friendster Palsu?

My Linux on Thinkpad T41p Guide
I recently bought myself a second hand [IBM Thinkpad T41p 2373GEU](http://www5.pc.ibm.com/us/products.nsf/$wwwPartNumLookup/_2373GEU). Only recently I managed to install a Linux distribution in it. The distribution is, of course, [Gentoo Linux](http://www.gentoo.org). The greatest thing about this notebook is that the model and its variants are used by many greatest Opensource hackers. So it is easy to find… Continue reading My Linux on Thinkpad T41p Guide
Firefox NY Times Ad
They did it! Two-page of advocacy advertising of an Opensource software. And they even put my name on the left edge, how convenient! It will be easy for you to spot my name there :). Also see the official [press release](http://www.mozilla.org/press/mozilla-2004-12-15.html) from the Mozilla Foundation. Meanwhile, my [SpreadFirefox point](http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=user/view/11248) still hovers around 110. I should… Continue reading Firefox NY Times Ad
Fun With Words
While waiting for my long compile batch to finish, I crafted a quick [Perl](http://www.perl.org) script to get various statistics of [Aspell](http://aspell.sourceforge.net/) dictionary. Aspell is a spelling checker commonly found in Linux and UNIX like systems. While putting together Aspell package for the new BlankOn Linux distribution, I thought it would be fun to get some… Continue reading Fun With Words
Thinking of A Better Approach for Eliminating Spam in WordPress
For the last few days I’ve been busy wasting my morning time deleting comment spam from moderation queue, sometimes it even reaches one hundred! Deleting them is tiresome and easily ruins my mood for the rest of the day. This morning I even changed the default from ‘Do Nothing’ to ‘Delete’ in moderation.php, so that… Continue reading Thinking of A Better Approach for Eliminating Spam in WordPress
Pemakai Palm == Tukang Becak?
Pemakai Palm == Tukang Becak, itu topik yang akhir-akhir ini banyak dibicarakan di forum-forum pemakai PDA [Palm](http://www.palmone.com) di Indonesia. Saya sendiri terlambat menyadari hal ini karena kepergian saya ke Medan minggu kemarin. Sumber dari pernyataan tersebut tak lain dan tak bukan adalah [satu lagi artikel ‘berbobot’](http://www.reviewland.com/pda-duel2004-5.htm) dari [ReviewLand.com](http://www.reviewland.com/). > Oleh karena itu cukup konyol jika… Continue reading Pemakai Palm == Tukang Becak?
Hosed My Disk Partition Table
I managed to hose my notebook’s partition table today while I was attempting to install [Fedora Core 3](http://fedora.redhat.com) in it. At first I tried using Partition Magic to resize the Windows NTFS partition. The resize process went without any problem whatsoever, and finally I was able to install Fedora Core 3 in the resulting free… Continue reading Hosed My Disk Partition Table
MotW: Kompetisi Web Lainnya
Dari [blog tetangga](http://secandri.com/blog/2004/12/08/kompetisi-masters-of-the-web/), saya mendapat kabar bahwa ada kompetisi web lainnya. Kali ini yang mengadakan adalah [ISOC Indonesia](http://www.isoc-id.org/). Sedangkan kompetisinya sendiri bernama [Masters of the Web](http://www.motw.org/). Tidak seperti penyelenggara kompetisi web lainnya, kali ini penyelenggara MotW terlihat lebih memperhatikan [standar web](http://www.w3.org). Hal ini terlihat secara sepintas dari dicantumkannya logo XHTML 1.0, CSS dan Bobby Approved.… Continue reading MotW: Kompetisi Web Lainnya
Thunderbird 1.0 is Out!
After [FireFox](http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/) hit 1.0 a few weeks ago, now it is [Thunderbird](http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/)’s turn. This is a boon to Windows users whose OS doesn’t come with a decent email client. Download size for Windows is only 5.8 MB. Yes, Outlook/Outlook Express users, I’m talking to you, make your switch now and enjoy a better email client.… Continue reading Thunderbird 1.0 is Out!
Annoyed By Thinkpad’s Previous and Next Buttons
Thinkpad’s keyboard has two buttons ‘previous’ and ‘next’ to complement cursor keys on the right side of the keyboard. This keys are supposed to bring the previous page or the next page, similar to web browser’s back and next button. But in my opinion, those keys are clearly designed to be the “inadvertenly clear three… Continue reading Annoyed By Thinkpad’s Previous and Next Buttons
PHP Programmers: Please Learn to Escape Your Data Correctly!
I really don’t like the way PHP is heading now, but still PHP is probably used by more web based project than all other languages combined. In my unscientific opinion, PHP programmers tend to make more elementary mistakes than programmers of other languages. This is probably caused by the abundance of poor programming examples on… Continue reading PHP Programmers: Please Learn to Escape Your Data Correctly!
