Road To WikuFest 2013

Life is about learning and sharing. It’s an endless cycle to make you better, in my opinion. And for the next 7 hours, i’m honoured to be part of Wikusama Festival (WikuFest) again.
This is my second year in a row 😛

It’s a sharing session (we call it like that) from alumni of SMK Telkom Sandhy Putra Malang (like me) along with some guest speakers from industry to our junior.

There are so many topics in this event. Starting from technical workshop like class from Mozilla Indonesia, cloud computing, enterpreneurship up until life wisdom. My class will talk about social media. It’s a fun session (i hope so) talking about what is social media and what it can do for you other than being narcist 😛

My last year presentation was talking about how to utilize something that most people carry everywhere everytime… mobile devices. My point is to dig the creativity with everything around you.

We’d like to say very big thanks to Himawan Nugroho who’s willing to spare some of his busy time for helping us in this year event. And finally we met in person after years join in the same mailing list 😛

Thanks also to Mozilla Indonesia for participating in this event. I heard that you guys want to make your own event, am i right? Please put my almamater in first priority if -whatever it is- held in Malang.

Ichal always talking about wanna go overseas, well bro I can say there is one of many doors open for you. Try to be an active and dedicated Mozilla Reps ^_^ Malang does not have any currently.

Yollo, who’s crazy about Agnes Monica, you have Denny K class. You’ve got one of my korg nano already. It’s up to you now 😛

And Ghea, well I think she’s on the right track. Good example for my presentation 🙂 Lucky that Benny and Rara are here this year. 2 good example of (Indonesian) people who does right with social media. Ben, please let her stay on the ground. No tower nor dementor involved please *rofl*

And I’m sure there are still so many diamonds unpolished. I hope we can help a little to make ’em shine.

So, Who will go home smiling with one of this?

some toys giveaway…

Of course only the lucky WikuFest2013 participant. Good luck ^_^

“What if i’m not WikuFest participant?”
Well, that’s your problem, not mine 🙂

FINALLY, i can eat pangsit mie again after years drooling for this one *nyammm*

Pangsit Mie!!!

This is my fave food during my childhood. Since I went home to Malang mostly on Lebaran, I couldn’t find it because there’s no one selling it during the holiday 🙁

Geez, I do really need to sleep properly….

Instagram & 90 juta Active User

instagram

Buat pengguna iPhone (iOS) maupun Android tentu familiar dengan aplikasi yang bernama Instagram. Aplikasi berbagi foto (yang diakuisisi oleh Facebook 2012 lalu) ini melaporkan bahwa mereka mempunyai sekitar 90 juta pengguna aktif per-bulan. Sekitar 40 juta foto di-upload tiap harinya. Kurang lebih sekitar 8500 foto per detiknya.

Wow!

Statistik sederhana ini cukup menggembirakan buat Instagram setelah akhir 2012 kemarin mereka bermasalah dengan terms and condition mereka sendiri. Buat yang belum tahu, Instagram dalam aturannya menyatakan diri boleh menjual foto-foto yang telah diupload ke pihak ke-tiga tanpa harus memberi tahu atau bahkan memberikan kompensasi terhadap si pemilik foto tersebut. Hal ini cukup membuat heboh dan membuat ‘eksodus’ pengguna Instagram (apalagi pengguna yang terasuk kategori High Profile seperti NatGeo) ke layanan berbagi-foto lainnya.

Lumayan sih, EyeEm langsung naik daun. Flickr bahkan memberikan bonus 3 bulan FlickrPro gratis buat anggotanya.IMG_6935

Huru-hara ini langsung direspon oleh Kevin Systrom, co-founder Instagram, yang melakukan pembaruan ketentuan layanan Instagram (khususnya di bagian advertising) kembali ke semula. Detilnya bisa baca di postingan blog si Kevin.

Kalau September 2012 kemarin Instagram melaporkan mempunyai seiktar 100 juta pengguna yang terdaftar di sistemnya. Maka dengan angka 90 juta pengguna aktif/bulan ini berarti total pengguna Instagram itu sendiri ada berapa yah di databasenya?

Sepertinya cocok buat bahan ulasan Wikufest berikutnya, High Scalability 🙂

Save The World

 

“Save The World”

by Swedish House Mafia feat. John Martin
from album Until Now (2012)

Into the streets
We’re coming down
We never sleep
Never get tired
Through urban fields
And suburban lights

Turn the crowd up now
We’ll never back down
Shoot down the skyline
Watch it on primetime
Turn up the love now
Listen up now, turn up the love

Who’s gonna save the world tonight?
Who’s gonna bring it back to life?
We’re gonna make it, you and I
We’re gonna save the world tonight

It’s far from home,
It’s for the better
What we dream, it’s all that matters
We’re on our way, united

Turn the crowd up now
We’ll never back down
Shoot down the skyline
Watch it on primetime
Turn up the love now
Listen up now, turn up the love

Who’s gonna save the world tonight,
Who’s gonna bring it back to life
We’re gonna make it, you and I,
We’re gonna save the world tonight.

Who’s gonna save
Who’s gonna bring
We’re gonna make it, you and I,
Who’s gonna save
Who’s gonna bring
We’re gonna save the world tonight.

Superman (It’s Not Easy)
cover by Boyce Avenue
originally by Five for Fighting, America Town (2001)

I can’t stand to fly
I’m not that naive
I’m just out to find
The better part of me

I’m more than a bird, I’m more than a plane
I’m more than some pretty face beside a train
And it’s not easy to be me

I wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
‘Bout a home I’ll never see

It may sound absurd but don’t be naive
Even heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed but won’t you concede
Even heroes have the right to dream?
And it’s not easy to be me

Up up and away away from me
Well it’s all right
You can all sleep sound tonight
I’m not crazy or anything

I can’t stand to fly
I’m not that naive
Men weren’t meant to ride
With clouds between their knees

I’m only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me

Inside of me, inside of me, yeah
Inside of me, inside of me

I’m only a man in a funny red sheet
I’m only a man looking for a dream
I’m only a man in a funny red sheet
And it’s not easy, it’s not easy to be me

life in mono

The stranger sang a theme,
From someone else’s dream
The leaves began to fall
And no one spoke at all
But I can’t seem to recall
When you came along

Ingenue,
Ingenue,
I just don’t know what to do

The tree-lined avenue
Begins to fade from view
Drowning past regrets
In tea and cigarettes
But I can’t seem to forget
When you came along

Ingenue,
Ingenue,
I just don’t know what to do

Ingenue, I just don’t know what to do
Ingenue, I just don’t know what to do
Ingenue, I just don’t know what to do
Ingenue, I just don’t know what to do
Ingenue, I just don’t know what to do

a relaxing nice song back in time.
what a great expectation…

Song of The Lonely Mountain

Far over the Misty Mountains rise
Lead us standing upon the height
What was before we see once more
Is our kingdom a distant light

Fiery mountain beneath a moon
The words aren’t spoken, we’ll be there soon
For home a song that echoes on
And all who find us will know the tune

Some folk we never forget
Some kind we never forgive
Haven’t seen the back of us yet
We’ll fight as long as we live

All eyes on the hidden door
To the Lonely Mountain
We’ll ride in the gathering storm
Until we get our long forgotten gold

We lay under the Misty Mountains cold
In slumbers deep, and dreams of gold
We must awake, our lives to make
And in the darkness a torch we hold

From long ago where lanterns burned
Until this day our hearts have yearned
A fate unknown, the Arkenstone
What was stolen must be returned

We must away ere break of day
To find our song for heart and soul

Some folk we never forget
Some kind we never forgive
Haven’t seen the end of it yet
We’ll fight as long as we live

All eyes on the hidden door
To the Lonely Mountain bourne
We’ll ride in the gathering storm
Till we get our long forgotten gold

The Misty Mountain…

far over the misty mountains cold
to dungeons deep and caverns old
the pines were roaring on the heights
the winds were moaning in the night
the fire was red, it flaming spread
the trees like torches, blazed with light

the mountain smoked beneath the moon
the dwarves, they heard the tramp of doom
they fled the hall to dying fall
beneath his feet, beneath the moon
the sword is sharp, the spear is long
the dwarves no more shall suffer wrong

far over the wood and mountain tall
though wind may blow and rain may fall….
