Telkomsel Flash “rocks”!
Telkomsel Flash pagi ini cukup “lumayan”…
Saya mendapatkan kira-kira 7 KB/s download speed stabil dari koneksi “HSDPA” Telkomsel Flash Unlimited yang secara teori maksimum kecepatannya 256 kbps (32 KB/s).
Ironis memang, tapi Telkomsel Flash kali ini jauh lebih cepat jika dibandingkan dengan hari-hari sebelumnya:
Oh well, kita harus mensyukuri apapun yang diberikan kepada kita. Amiin.
Starting Out with OSGi
OSGi the modularity system for Java . Since some people prefer mailing lists than Google to request introductory material, here’s my own.
The first thing you’ll need to start practicing is an OSGi distribution. Pick one of them below:
You should be able to get example projects for any of the above, and try OSGi bundles, usually by dropping the bundles into a pickup folder.

Then get an IDE to start developing:
baru “dhong” what OSGi is all about

OSGi…. comparison-nya dengan WebSphere , Tomcat, JBoss …
Mereka mengepak sebuah "Application Server " beserta libraries-nya yang versinya udah ditentuin. Mulai dari servlet, JSP, JSF, ESB, JMS, JMX, dll.
Dengan begitu, file WAR "harusnya" sih kecil (dan pada kasus2 simple tetep kecil). Kenyataannya file WAR tetep banyak yang gede2, karena banyak library yang dibutuhkan yang belum tentu ada di paket AppServer yang awal, atau ada versi baru. Ato bahkan bisa konflik.

“I could’ve spent more time worshipping You…”
SacredLearning.org is an Islamic web site Parama Danoesubroto recently shared with me which, among other useful materials, contains general talks by Shaykh Husain Abdul Sattar (as freely downloadable audios).
Parama initially made me interested with a talk titled “Wisdom of Wealth” which is excellent.
I begin to listen to the other talks. Actually I dutifully enjoy his talks that my laptop is continuously downloading all of the rest of the talks (including the right-on-time Ramadan classroom) using my trusty DownThemAll. 
And then I struck gold, in Muraqabah – Step by Step Approach:
Organization-based Programming
Proposal: *
Organization-based programming = Organize agents, objects, and messages exchanged between them, to work on a goal or a process (i.e. “desired outcome”).
Inspiration:
Lemmings, DNA, construction sites, Impossible Creatures.
Definitions:
- Agents are actors that have less predictable behavior.
- Objects are actors than have predictive behavior.
- Both agents and objects are actors.
- Actors can send and receive messages.
- Messages contain content and language. Message content, can be actors themselves (meaning code, not just data).
Semantic Thoughts on Model, View, Controller (MVC)
Semantic Web is a technology family (or, a disparate set of sometimes non-related technologies) that allows computing applications to understand each other. It has the potential of transforming the way we do computing in the very near future… and power to make software developers’ lives easier.
I’ve been having lots of random thoughts about how to connect independent apps to work, talk, and walk together. Several components need to be identified. I call them Actors, Messages, and Translators.
NVidia NForce 610i / GeForce 7050 in Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10
We recently upgraded a server from a Jetway P4M9AP motherboard to a Zotac N73V-AC7V, which is actually very good… except that they (the motherboard, NForce 610i chipset, NVidia GeForce 7050 integrated graphics adapter/VGA, sound) doesn’t work out of the box with our Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10.
Fortunately, there is a solution: nForce 610i : audio and nVidia graphic drivers How-to, that actually works. Now we’ve got screamingly fast display (although we rarely use it… it’s a server anyway) and a working sound card.
Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10 di Axioo Neon TVR856C/TVR016C
Baru-baru ini kami “mendapat” laptop alias notebook dengan model Axioo Neon TVR 856C. Tugas yang kami terima adalah, “si bos” mengharuskan laptop ini diinstall Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10. Sayangnya, laptop ini tidak dapat diinstall Ubuntu dengan “cara biasa.” Ah, sedikit petualangan nih, pikir saya…
Sekedar petualangan ini ternyata berbuah puluhan kali restart, menunggu, googling, dan menggaruk2 kepala yang udah botak hahahha 
Masalahnya adalah:
- Live CD Ubuntu tidak bisa booting, hang sebelum instalasi karena tidak kompatibel dengan VGA onboard yaitu VIA UniChrome IGP.
- Live CD Ubuntu Alternate installer menampilkan tampilan teks yang kacau balau.
