Lagi asyik experimen set-up FreeBSD 4.10 di mesin Compaq AlphaServer DS10. Hehehehehehe moga moga sukses deh. Jadi biar bisa dipake production juga 🙂 Soale sebelumbta gagal total masang FreeBSD di mesin Sparc Sun E220R 🙂

Case kali ini asal sukses install, set-up jaringan, pasang aplikasi2 kaya di mesin FreeBSD intel ama test running aplikasinya. Kalo sukses, di hajar pake hits tinggi OK, baru deh ngacak-ngacak kernel ama filesystemnya untuk hard tuning 🙂

Jum’at 13 Agustus 2004 jam 10 malam. Ada network problem, laper berat pula. Duh, kolaborasi yang sangat ga sesuai deh. Ada rekan dari Gratika mengajak makan malam di daerah Casablanca. Jadilah kita ber-6 berangkat. Zikri dan seorang lagi menyusul karena kita baru inget kalo masih ada si Zikri pas udah sampe di kolong Casablanca 😛 Sori ye Jek hehehehehe

Tempat makan kita kali adalah Mamink Daeng Tata yang terkenal dengan Tata Ribs-nya. Eh jangan salah, Tata Ribs ini sudah dipatenkan lho. Dan setelah nyobain tadi, wow, yummy berattttttttttttttttt. Tata Ribs adalah konro (tulang iga sapi) yang di bakar. Pemilik patennya adalah Muhammad Amin Rahim Daeng Tata atau yang lebih dikenal sebagai Mamink Daeng Tata.

Latar belakang Mamink menciptakan resep “tata ribs” adalah kekhawatiran bahan baku untuk sop konro yang makin sulit dicari. Menurut dia, seekor sapi yang dipotong hanya cukup untuk 16 porsi. Karena itu, untuk memenuhi bahan baku rusuk atau iga sapi buat menu konro di empat warungnya, dia membutuhkan iga sapi sampai 150 sapi setiap hari.

Sebenarnya, menurut dia, setiap rusuk bisa dipotong dua. Namun, tindakan itu menuai protes pelanggan. Pasalnya, konro yang asli harus ada pangkal rusuk atau tulang punggung sapi yang masih menyatu.

Akhirnya, dia meramu bumbu untuk memanggang ujung rusuk yang ditolak oleh penikmat sop konro. Kemudian dia mendaftarkan hak paten resep tersebut dengan nama “tata ribs”. “Mungkin orang mengibaratkan ’tata ribs’ seperti makan steak di restoran Amerika atau Eropa. Bedanya adalah rasa ’tata ribs’ ini lebih cocok dengan lidah kita dan terasa lebih sehat dengan bumbu tradisional yang segar,” ujarnya.

Dibandingkan dengan konro karebosi di Jl. Lampobatang Makassar, yang ini lebih menggigit rasanya. Kalo ga inget Razi yang bersusah payah dengan konronya, tentu aku udah nambah nasi untuk ketiga kalinya 😛

Nyam nyam nyam, kalo Rara jadi ke Jkt nanti bakal aku ajak ke sana deh buat nyobain Tata Ribs nya 🙂

Satu yang aku senang dari Google ada simplisitas dan performance mesin pencarinya yang memuaskan. Desain webnya mungkin payah dibanding situs2 lain yang berflash ria (padahal malah nambahin beban loading) tapi emang bukan tampilan yang ditawarkan google. Jadi ngapain juga ribet bikin flash2 segala 🙂

Trus satunya adalah logonya yang tematik, berubah-ubah sesuai dengan event internasional saat ini.
Nah berkenaan dengan pembukaan Olimpiade Athena 2004, logo Google juga ada modifikasinya 🙂

Cool, keren, kocak

I’ve made a blog update notification system.

Hehehehehehehe.

It will parse the content of my atom.xml file every 10 minutes. Checking the submit time to find wether the content is a new one or not. If it is, the notification system will send SMS and mail to me (for testing) and to my girlfriend Rara 😛

Inspired by a thead @ blogger family forum, posted by snookie

For you, who was born before 1985. Do you still remember the character below ?

He is ALF.
Alf was one of my fave tv show. This tv show was a comedy series about an arrogant, furry alien from the planet Melmac who crashed into the Tanner family‘s garage. They agreed that he could live with them if he stayed hidden from the rest of planet Earth. They named him Alf, an acronym for “Alien Life Form” and the Tanners constantly had to bail him out of trouble. Alf left Melmac because it blew up.

His home planet Melmac was made of Melmac. (So what exactly is Melmac anyway ? huehuehueheuuhee )

Alf’s name is Gordon Shumway.

His heart is located in his ear.

Wahahahahahaha,
kocak banget hari ini ngeliat Wulunk tergopoh-gopoh panik to my desk coz of a university at Palembang 😛

Besok, ceritanya mereka (TheUniversity XXXXX) mo launching program SMS Kampus kerja sama dengan Telkomsel pake nomor 7890. Tapi aplikasi di sana ga siap sama sekali. Ancur deh. Maunya make protokol HTTP untuk post request ke sana buat ngelihat hasil ujian SPMBnya. Tapi yang disediain bukannya response handler malah sebuah html form. Nah, gemana mo nyambung. Masa SMS Kampus tapi harus entry dulu ke html form ? Udah gitu form processornya error pula karena sintaks-sintaks PHP nya pada ngaco. Oh iya, ceritanya mereka pake PHP :p

Wulunk dengan setengah senewen nahan gemes nelpon ke contact person-nya ngasih tahu they should do this and this and that. No form, only response handler, all http parameters will be submitted by HTTP GET or HTTP POST. Then the contact person asking back to Wulunk “What is HTTP Paramater ?”

*BANG* If Wulunk did not remember that he’s using my phone, probably he’ll smashed the phone to the wall. Huheuhueuehueheheuhueheue. I ask him who’s the person he’s calling and he said that that person is the admin, the web admin. And I laugh loudly making Wulunk more stress 😛

OK, stop joking 😛 We could just pretend to ack that we knew nothing, it’s their side. Our system is OK, their system is completely awfull. So, who cares. But we’re not like that. Telkomsel is not like that. They are our customer, so we try to help them as much as we can 😛 After talking bla bla bla bla for couple minutes, Wulunk said it’s hopeless. So it’s my turn.

I sent the PIC (Person In Charge) a logic sample using PHP. Yes, it’s hopeless coz he’s only copy paste the code and include his own code (which was “amburadul”). Doesn’t work.
I sent another code with real PHP code, there’s no logic stament like:

if condition is true then 
    execute your function 
else 
   display error message

But I made a classical type by missing “;“. Wulung call him to fix it, add “;” on line X please (if he copy paste 100% without modifying anything). But again, it’s hopeless….
Then we ask, are we allowed to access their machine for just 5 minutes to fix it. He said he know nothing about it. Everybody is on training including the programmer the admin. Did i mention that he’s also an admin before ? :P~ Wulunk gave up.

Fortunatelly, they sent me their code before. Yeah it messed up. I just need the SQL statement and create a db simulator. After finishing the complete code, with no typo, 100% works then we sent it again to TheUniversity XXXXX.

Error …. coz they haven’t fill the username and password for accessing the database yet. Wulunk call him again to fix it. Thank God, he could do it properly 😛 We try to post a request and we get the correct response. OK, it’s time to try with the real deal. We sent SMS using their keyword, and we got connection error. What the hell !! After tracing the log file, it said that UNSRI has change the URL so the previous URL that they’ve given us was not valid anymore. Yeah right, changing/modifying the most important patr without notification ….

Wulunk call him again and asking for that. TheUniversity XXXXX said the XXXX.php file has changed to YYYY.php file. YYYY.php not exist. Pheww … YYYY.php changed to ZZZZ.php, it’s also not exist. Wulunk has no word to say anymore. They he’s told that the file has been changed to index.php which is also not exist. It’s stupid when you enable the directory browsing without index file at your webserver and they did it. There’s no index.php, only index_x.php and other php files. But finally, maybe after hear what i said behind Wulunk, the file we’re looking for suddenly appear ….

Horeeeeeeeeee…. Wulunk took a deep breath.
SMS OK, reponse OK, charging OK. Technical part has been tested OK. Well, I hope they wont do anything stupid like changing the URL without notify us again or changing the code.
Then I asked Wulunk
“Wulunk, did I get additional salary for the code I’ve made for them ?”
Wulunk only said with sad face and voice
“Please deh …….”
