June 4, 2010 2 comments

Rekan saya setengah bercanda bersyukur karena gagal saat pemilihan legislatif. ‘Gua dulu ngecap 10.000% hehe, ya harus begitu kata bos-bos partai’ – Ia berbalik sedih menendang puntung rokoknya sendiri. ‘Toh gua ngga bisa juga menuhin (janji-janjinya)’ -ada sedikit senyum. Entah senyum pahit atau lega. ‘Elu mau nyalon ngga?’, dia bingung lihat saya yang agak terpesona melihat keputus asaan sekaligus kelegaan, walau mungkin pengakuan hanyalah excuse.

Dia bukan kader Golkar. Kalo dia kader Golkar mungkin dia menyesal banget lihat usulan Dana Aspirasi DPR.

Tapi menebar ‘pork barrel’ kan haram? :) )

Dana Aspirasi DPR, Pork Barrel versi Indonesia Beberapa hari ini kita membaca ataupun mendengar berita mengenai Dana Aspirasi DPR yang sebesar 15 miliar rupiah per tahun per anggota. Apalagi ini? Bukannya anggota DPR sudah dapat gaji? Apakah ini jenis tunjangan baru? Saya akan menulis sedikit berdasarkan apa yang saya tahu mengenai Dana Aspirasi DPR ini.

Facebook is absolutely great. Saya adalah penggemarnya. Tapi ada beberapa hal yang perlu diwaspadai. Kita melihat bagaimana calon pegawai ditolak karena empunya perusahaan menilik sejarah perilaku calon pegawai dari rekaman status dan foto-foto yang di-tag, dan seterusnya. Ini adalah resiko sosial, tapi tak kurang berbahayanya adalah resiko teknis. tentang data-data yang tersimpan di facebook maupun sekarang oleh -yang disebut oleh gizmodo- adalah ekosistem facebook.

Banyak kontroversi seputar privacy policy dari jejaring sosial facebook. Beberapa alasan selengkapnya dapat dibaca diĀ www.gizmodo.com, berikut kutipan singkatnya. Read more…

Im not a wine drinker at home -not our tradition-, mostly I am having my wine when dining out, socializing with friends. But once in a while we had glasses of wine at some celebrations. Most of the wines were gifts. Well, leftover is disgusting. So this might help if you are having same problem with me.

Guys… I found this coquettishly techie, a good friend of mine sending me this.

A Blonde goes to Bed Bath & Beyond to buy curtains.

She tells the clerk…”I would like to buy a pair of pink curtains.”

The clerk assures her that they have a large selection of pink curtains.

She shows her several patterns but the blonde seems to be having a hard time choosing. Finally she selects a lovely pink floral print.

The clerk then asks what size curtains she needs. The blonde promptly replies…”Seventeen inches”.

”Seventeen inches?” asked the clerk… “That sounds very small…What room are they for?”
The blonde says…”They aren’t for a room…They are for my new computer monitor.”

The surprised clerk replies…”But Miss, computers do not need curtains!”

The blonde says…”Hellllooooooooo…I’ve got Windoooooows… ????????”

I need a back up mobile phone, with very minimum features, call and sms only. Bunch of features only add the price and would consume unnecessary power.

Why I need a back up? Besides anticipating run out of power on the road, I’m aware of possible incident such as recent catasthrope in Padang Indonesia where power availability is critial. I could buy a car charger or spare battery for my blackberry but I learned also that its not a bad idea to have another handset with different operator, which again might be critical in emergency situation. So.. I should get another cheap, minimum feature, small size, good battery, branded mobile phone (dont give me scrap lousy unbrand product from China) Read more…
