E-Books History Grows in Our Gampong

History grows in our gampong tells us about the coastal region of post-tsunami Aceh from the viewpoint and experience of Mardiyah Chamim, a female journalist of Tempo weekly newsmagazine.Those involved in the aftermath of the killer tsunami, which devastated parts of Aceh province, undoubtedly have deep impressions of the tragedy. Mardiyah, a professional journalist, is no exception.

Journalists are people who know a lot of things. They are trained to record events in their minds and later write about them for the general public, but how much they can write is often constrained by the publication’s space limitations and policy as well as the editor’s selection. Many journalists are limited by these constraints and hence write only abridged reports that media circles classify as “newsworthy”. Trapped by such limitations, journalists then adopt their own attitude and tend to become exclusive, as if denying that the things not included in their reports simply never happened. They know all too well about newsworthiness but acknowledge nothing beyond it. Even if they acknowledge such things, they consider them unimportant because the news is seemingly not worth covering.

Now the books is free for anyone. You can download the books at http://acehjourney.net/e-books/en/

Free Hotspot At Banda Aceh

Do you know starbucks coffe? what do you like about starbucks? i love their coffe and of course their internet connection.

Unfortunately starbucks using a voucher to use their internet connection, this is different with Starblack at Banda Aceh, Indonesia. Starblack is a small coffe shop at Banda Aceh, Indonesia. I called starblack that’s because their coffe has a black color and almost people at Banda Aceh called this as a “Warung Kopi”.

And what’s the different between starblack and starbucks?

Starblack has an internet connection too, but this is free of charge. That’s the different. Yeah, i know this is not a good news for you which have good internet connection. But on Indonesia this is a good news just because it’s to expensive to get internet connection.

Hope someday, there will be a lot of hotspot at Indonesia and free of charge of course!

Finally, Gnome removes from slackware distribution :(.

What a damn things? :(

Looks like i'll be using dropline gnome as my desktop manager

Here's Information about Dropline Gnome:

Dropline GNOME is a version of the GNOME Desktop that has been tweaked for Slackware Linux systems. It is available in Slackware's standard .tgz package format, in addition to the usual source code. The current release is based off of the latest GNOME 2 distribution from the GNOME Project.

Slackware has long been renowned as one of the most secure and stable GNU/Linux system available, but its desktop has always left something to be desired. Dropline GNOME serves to address this while maintaining the core stability and simplicity of Slackware we all know and love. This is not simply a set of GNOME 2.6 packages; it has been tweaked and modified for a better appearance, cleaner interface, and a nicer integration with Slackware as a whole. Some of these differences are:

* A complete set of i686-optimized packages
* A convenient network-based installer and update system to easily keep your desktop up-to-date.
* The latest release of FreeType combined with X.Org to display crisp, elegant fonts at any resolution on any type of display.
* PAM integration, allowing configurable, increased functionality to non-root users (Example: changing the time or date).
* FAM integration, allowing Nautilus to display an up-to-the-second accurate representation of your filesystem.
* Library support for both ALSA (sound) and CUPS (printing). Niether is required, but the Dropline GNOME packages can take advantage of either.
* A simplified, task-based menu system.
* A default layout and theme setup designed to stay out of your way while remaining visually elegant.

Aksi Prihatin Terhadap Skema Bisnis Anne Ahira



Kami, warga masyarakat dan komunitas Internet, merasa prihatin terhadap model bisnis yang diterapkan oleh Anne Ahira. Kami keberatan bahwa bisnis ini diasosiasikan dengan melakukan marketing di Internet. Marketing yang dilakukan di Internet sebenarnya adalah sesuatu yang baik dan wajar asalkan dilakukan dalam batas-batas etika dan kewajaran.

Setelah melakukan penyelidikan, kami berkesimpulan bahwa bisnis ini hanyalah sebuah praktik skema piramida yang dibungkus dengan istilah Internet Marketing. Hal ini jelas terlihat dari apa yang harus dilakukan oleh setiap anggota Elite Team, yaitu merekrut empat anggota baru. Skema piramida sejatinya merupakan penghisapan oleh segelintir individu terhadap banyak orang. Menurut kami, Internet tidak perlu dikotori dengan pemasaran dari bisnis tidak jelas seperti itu. Silakan melakukan pemasaran via Internet sejauh masih dalam batas-batas kewajaran dan bisnisnya adalah bisnis yang baik dan jelas.

Lebih jauh lagi, kami melihat bahwa Elite Team menawarkan janji yang menyesatkan, yaitu menyatakan bahwa tujuan Elite Team adalah agar semua anggota Elite Team memperoleh penghasilan $6.688 per bulan, dan bahwa ini adalah tujuan yang realistis. Tetapi realitanya adalah: seandainya semua anggota Elite Team bekerja keras dan teguh pada regimen Elite Team, hanya 1 dari 341 orang, atau 0,29%(!) yang memperoleh $6.688 per bulan. Sangatlah jauh dari apa yang diakui sebagai tujuan realistis Elite Team.

Produk yang ditawarkan Anne Ahira/EliteTeam adalah keanggotaan representative (rep.) di Financial Freedom Society, Inc. (FFSI), di mana setiap rep. harus membayar $54,95 per bulan kepada FFSI. Setiap rep. memperoleh komisi dari menjual keanggotaan FFSI ke orang lain sehingga menjadi rep. baru. Orang yang direkrut ini disebut sebagai affiliate, atau di MLM lain dikenal dengan nama downline, dan setiap rep. juga memperoleh komisi dari penjualan yang dilakukan oleh downline-nya sampai empat tingkat downline.

Selain dari keanggotaan FFSI, boleh dibilang tidak ada produk atau jasa yang dijual oleh Anne Ahira dan Elite Team. Dalam sistem Elite Team, besar penghasilan bulanan seorang anggota tergantung dari jumlah downline FFSI-nya dan bagaimana struktur downline tersebut karena tidak ada atau hampir tidak ada penghasilan seorang anggota Elite Team selain dari komisi FFSI.

Dengan perhitungan satu anggota mendapatkan 4 anggota baru, seperti yang dipraktikkan oleh Elite Team, maka hanya dalam 17 tingkat piramida jumlah anggota keseluruhan menjadi sebanyak 5.73 miliar. Sedangkan jumlah populasi manusia keseluruhan di dunia hanyalah 6.4 miliar. Jika seluruh 5.7 miliar manusia tersebut mengikuti program ini, maka hanya 89 juta orang yang akan berpenghasilan $6.688 per bulan. Sementara 5.3 miliar lainnya merugi!

Dengan demikian kami menghimbau masyarakat Internet untuk tidak mudah terjebak oleh iming-iming kekayaan yang dijanjikan oleh Anne Ahira, Elite Team maupun pihak-pihak lainnya. Kami berharap masyarakat Internet bisa menyadari adanya model bisnis semacam itu sehingga dapat lebih waspada. Kepada redaktur media massa juga kami berharap untuk selalu melakukan investigasi terlebih dahulu ketika membahas bisnis-bisnis yang tidak memiliki kejelasan seperti itu agar nantinya tidak dimanfaatkan oleh pihak-pihak tertentu sebagai promosi terselubung.

Gnome 2.10 Release

Finally Gnome 2.10 is released. There's a lot of new features on Gnome 2.10.

Here's some information i took from Gnome:


GNOME 2.10 has a new ability that you might not notice at first, implementing another cross-desktop Freedesktop.org standard.

In the past, while typing something into one application when suddenly your instant messenger offered a chat request from your friend, your words would be typed into the chat window. Imagine if you were typing your password at the time. This should no longer happen in GNOME 2.10.

In addition, if an application takes a long time to start, your work will not be interrupted when it finally opens its window.

Vulnerabilities Discovered In Firefox/Mozilla

Yesterday, the security firm Secunia has released 8 more security bugs. It has discovered in Mozilla products, including Firefox and Thunderbird.

If you have downloaded the Firefox 1.0.1 you should be carefully, because there's another bugs on that version. The Mozilla 1.7.6 and Thunderbird 1.0.1 released should be out this week as well. The exploits "could be used by criminals to spoof, or fake, various aspects of a Web site, ranging from its SSL secure site icon to the contents of an inactive tab."

This announcement comes 1 day after iDefense announced a vulnerability is Mozilla 1.7.3 and Firefox 1.0 that would allows hackers to "create a memory heap overflow, which then allow remote code execution and a compromise of the system."

AJ-Fork, Wordpress or MoveableType ?

AJ-Fork. Lightweight, flexible and powerful publishing tool. Forked off Cutenews 1.3.1 in 2003, and in active development since then (minus one years worth of military service). Aims to have a pretty but functional interface, output XHTML Strict compliant code, and has a plugin architecture similar (though not yet as extensive) to Wordpress.

I choose AJ-Fork than Moveabletype because AJ-Fork has a GPL license. I prefer AJ-Fork than Wordpress because AJ-Fork has a flat database which mean there’s no need MySQL.

Themes IE For Firefox...?

If you are using firefox as a browser on your operating system windows 98, windows xp or another windows you should try IE themes for firefox.

FirefoxIE is a customization of Firefox 1.0 by Mozilla.org to make it look and feel more like Internet Explorer.

Almost Cyber Cafe (WarNet on Indonesian Languange) still using IE as a default browser. There's so many reason why Cyber Cafe did'nt want to change their browser and one of this reason is many people's using IE.

With Firefoxie, it can be an alternative solution switching IE to Firefox.

You should try this themes!
