Posted by toen on Sep 21, '07 11:46 PM for everyone  looks good: - it’s thin & light - just right for a smart phone :) fit comfortably in our palm. - has QWERTY button, I think that would be convenience to keyed in a lot of texts. Although some people said that’s like a calculator. Sometimes I would too lazy to pull out the stylus. - use windows mobile 5 - smartphone. By default supported by any Windows application. I can't install any program freely in office’s computers. - Support 3 GSM bands & 3.5G/HSDPA. - Has WIFI connection. - Reasonable price (3.8 mio). - has good rate in www.gsmarena.com looks bad: - camera only 1.3 mega pixel. No flash. - screen is not so big - but i can still live with that. - Windows mobile 5 only have viewer program for MS Office documents. Note taking only possible by using notepad & no spreadsheet. I don’t know if there is freeware application to edit MS Office documents in windows mobile 5 or can I install Office Mobile. not sure: - It has no touchscreen. Navigating it’s menu by using menu scroll bar & 5-way-navigation button. That quite easy - I had tried it in the last couple months mobile phone exhibition in JHCC. Not sure how we can browse a page in IE with this navigation options. Considering as well - Motorola Q (nice design but no WIFI) - Sony Ericsson P600 (no WIFI) or P1 (too expensive - 5mio), both using SYMBIAN (have to install it’s own program). - Dopod c720w (too big like blackberry) - Treo 700 (too expensive about 5mio & bit bulky. But it’s already a PDA phone - use Win Pocket PC). - Ipaq 6515 (expensive & bulky) Any better options? what Smartphone is in your wish list?
Posted by toen on Sep 21, '07 11:28 PM for everyone Firefox browser has been downloaded by 400 million people.
So there must be something.
Haven't use Firefox maybe it's the time?
Anyway I just like their new promo banner .. -who can resist this- cute fox :).
It's called foxkeh!
It's born in Japan (site) to help promote and deploy Mozilla products in Japan (wiki).
Foxkeh name combines the English word "fox" with the suffix "suke" (すけ; 助, 輔, 介) found in some Japanese male names.
Get foxkeh wallpaper as well from their site :).
Posted by toen on Sep 6, '07 2:18 AM for everyone I found that my post about and Travel Jakarta Bandung ( here) and Samsung SCH-S179 ( here) were the most visited ones. I hope they found that useful (well that might not really up to date now :P). I see that all post in multiply are well indexed by google or google-blog-search. Means that what you share could be more useful cause they are reachable to more user. One thing that I want to know - if we can we still see restricted post in MP through google cache? It also mean that if we have a business and want to do some advertising on the internet, we can use Multiply, cause creating an account and post an article is easy in Multiply. Some example that I had know is Daihatsu Xenia and Elex media. - We can use "journal" to post articles and/or news.
- We Use tag to categories a post (as news, products, articles, etc.) & show this on the front page.
- Use favorite blog list to show key information (profile, faq, contact, etc).
- Use photo as a gallery and
- Market to sale products.
- need online transaction? you can share a bank account, let buyer transfer the money & send the proof. Then you process the order.

Posted by toen on Aug 28, '07 8:21 AM for everyone  NUMBER is part of iWork, an office suite from apple and NUMBER is the name of it's spreadsheet application.
In excel we have one spreadsheet as one tab. In NUMBER we have one working area and we can put many tables in there. It's like sticking a post-it in your working area, but they act as a table/spreadsheet. That's cool!
I work a lot with MS Onenote (do similar thing but for text) and wishing to have this feature in there. There are also tables in Onenote but have very limited features.

Posted by toen on Aug 2, '07 6:28 AM for everyone  It’s a about special kids. But it’s not ’really’ a story for kids, i am not sure if they would enjoy this movie. The story is pretty much telling old kind of story. People from the future send us a message to help them. It is a science fiction story. Then by some coincidence two kids find a way to do that - in an amazing triller adventurous action. But that common story was pack in a very neat form. Acting of the kids (and all others players are good). And the most attracting thing is the special effect, not really a WOW effect but very neat. It planned & designed carefully. The whole technic are really interesting to see. If you had heard about talking to the universe (law of attraction), time travel, ever things is energy. This movie is highlighting those stuffs and also a model of a perfect family :P. The director also directing Lord of The Ring. MIMZY adalah film science-fiction degan alur cerita yang biasa, tapi dikerjakan dengan detail yang luar biasa .. rapi dan menarik.
Posted by toen on Aug 2, '07 2:04 AM for everyone  Akhirnya ada juga website lokal untuk review tempat2 makan, namanya MakanMulu.com. Mirip Yelp.com yang ada di Amrik sono. Enaknya punya site seperti ini, tempat makan yang bagus bisa ketauan karena rate & komentar kolektif dari partisipan yang ada. Semakin banyak yang memberikan rate atau komentar semakin kelihatan objektifitasnya. Apalagi dengan fasilitas top 10 dll. Kekurangannya tentu saja dari subjektifitas pengguna.
- Di sini databasenya sudah cukup lengkap (tapi masih kurang dari cukup). Sekarang kebanyakan dari Jakarta.
- Search-nya cukup bagus & cepat.
- Kategori makanannya nya cukup banyak.
- Fasilitas yang ada: database (dengan komentar & rating), artikel (resep, tip & trik), forum & blog si pembuat, bantuan, search, shout box, poll & tentu saja iklan.
Mungkin kedepannya bisa dilengkapi dengan peta. Untuk ini bisa memanfaatkan website wikimapia. Website review lainnya (segala jenis produk) www.pintunet.com
Posted by toen on Jul 25, '07 7:10 AM for everyone  Through this site you can learn how to read some useful star and used them to point direction. It is easy, simple, interactive and interesting way to learn. It will need 15-20 minutes to finish the whole session. Check this out http://www.quietbay.net/Science/astronomy/nightsky/
Posted by toen on Jul 24, '07 4:56 AM for everyone  This is a documentary film from Michael More. It about how bad health services is in America. How bad? many people could not afford to have health insurance. People are hard to get health insurance. People are hard to make claim (the corporation even do special investigation to make an excuse to reject a claim). When people have to pay for their medical treatment it’s cost fortune. Sometimes hospital just dump a passion on the street when they find out that they can not pay all bills. People still have to queue for a long time. He also show the political history how all this could possible happen in America, as what their politician call as socialize health support. He also bring a case that even some of the 9/11 warrior even not get support for their health issue due to work hazard during their voluntary. He also compare how other country (Canada, England and French) give health service to their people, which is a lot much better (free & more people focus). They even have 24 hour doctor support that could be called to come to your house, a nanny support, baby day care even laundry for the elder that pay by the government (yes they pay a lot of taxes but for a good result). One thing that had been highlighted here that in that country, people have strong voice power to be listened by the government while in America people more afraid with the goverment. One finding by this movie is that in Guantanamo Prison, the health support even better. Moore then bring some sick people there, but no luck. Ironically they even got better services from Havana’s hospital (which are cheap but in a good quality).
I don’t know how true is this? or how subjective is Moore reviewing this? But the issue is real. So, we see a lot of success stories, multi billion stories from America ... but what’s that for if on the way there that’s not bring good for more other people. People that not as lucky as small percentage of wealthy society. It should be about we, not about me. How about us? no much different (probably worst). --- Film documenter terakhir dari Michael More. Menceritakan buruknya sistem pelayanan kesehatan di Amerika karena kapitalisasi perusahaan-perusahaan kesehatan dan buruknya kinerja pemerintah.
Posted by toen on Jun 29, '07 3:29 AM for everyone  Finally, Portable Firefox 2 is ready. A pop up window appear telling this upgrade when I was reading my Google Reader. But when I check from portableapps.com
actually it's been there since 31 May, miss a month then ... HAH who cares.. trying a new one. Why portable? I can use it anywhere, weakness? Take longer time to open the application.
Posted by toen on Jun 28, '07 11:11 PM for everyone  reduce & control your ’byte’ consumption with firefox’s extension Browsing from home using some certain services (like speedy - volume base) will charge us by byte that being consumed/loaded. These are the extensions that I use to reduce & control bytes & see more within your volume quota. Would like to hear yours :) Flashblock. Many ads appear as flash image & give bigger size that regular image. This extension replace flash objects with a button that you can click to show the flash if you like. It’s appear in on the toolbar as well, click it to switch it on/off as default. ImgLikeOpera. Similar to flashblock but for images. It’s appear in as an icon in the status bar. You can define the default setting or make exception for certain sites. You can also use right click menu to load image one by one as you like. Useful shortcut, ctrl+[right click] to open certain image that you want. Adblock. Give better ads filter from web-pages. Browser Statistics. Appear in status bar. In fact it take about 20% of toolbar’s space. It show size of data loaded (in Kb or Mb) from a page, total loaded since last run, total loaded since installation (this one less useful for me). Speedy also provide a tool to monitor your byte loaded. TimeTracker. show you long you had been online. Browsing is fun, sometimes we forget how long we had been online. 
Posted by toen on Jun 28, '07 9:47 AM for everyone  Tau kan stiker lable Tom & Jerry? Stiker ini biasanya aku pakai untuk label clear folder yang aku pakai. Masalahnya product ini menempel dengan terlalu sangat baik – alias susah di buka lagi, pasti ada sisa yang tertinggal dan cukup ribet membersihkannya. Padahal sering kali clear folder yang ada aku pakai ulang. Memang sih bisa langsung di tempel di atas label yang lama, tapi tulisan lama biasanya masih kelihatan :-(.
Sempet beli kertas stiker ukuran besar yang bisa di potong2 sendiri, tapi ini juga masih ribet.
Akhirnya kemarin dapat labeler merk APLI. Memang agak sedikit lebih mahal tapi yang ini gampang di bukanya lagi juga ga gampang lepas :-) :-). Dapet free cd juga untuk edit & print labelnya .. nice!. So, Tom & Jerry want to change, improve & keep exist or .. die. Strong is good, but there is another market for re-change label sticker.
Posted by toen on Jun 17, '07 11:31 AM for everyone  Like it. it's not an entertaining kind of movie. But the story is good, a true one I guest. telling about a husband, a father struggling to give the best option for his family. His struggle is extreme, not every man would come to his situation, but if we struggle as hard as his or harder that now we might pursuit a better happiness. If you follow the law of attraction idea, this is a good case. Like the story – its really touching when they pretend to use a time machine and go back to dinosaurs age.
Posted by toen on Jun 17, '07 11:30 AM for everyone  They are quite a lot comments on the internet about this movie. But I think this is too ordinary. Telling about a men come from a very poor country (Tajikistan Kazakhstan) - i don't like the idea make fun of a poor country and take profit of that. The are slapstick kind of joke.
Posted by toen on Jun 17, '07 11:29 AM for everyone  It's about a soldier who get sick with the war and take advantage with what he know and become a diamond smuggler. The story much about his attempt to get & smug the biggest diamond ever found. He meet, got help and giving help from an African men. There is a male reporter as well interfering his life seeking for diamond smuggler story.
There is a heavy message here that many diamond in the market are come from slavery mine. Taken from a corrupt nation where they who has power crush other - usually ordinary citizen, mostly with violent. While rich greed country pretend don't know about this and simply close their eyes and don't care. That's why it's called blood diamond.
There is a romantic -heart broken- ending in this movie.
Don't like the violent shown in the movie - brutal, but that truth.
Posted by toen on Jun 17, '07 11:27 AM for everyone  The one on DVD is un-censored, so be 'prepare'. Nothing really special from the film. Story is -just like that. Player ok. A sequel taking advantage from previous version.
Posted by toen on Jun 17, '07 11:26 AM for everyone  Film about alien abduction. How that happen. Why that happen. The story run fast, from all episodes it's talking about 3 human generation.
Story is good interesting, detail, actors play very well, and that not strange since Steven Spielberg was involved.
Posted by toen on Jun 15, '07 6:47 AM for everyone  UMPC. Platfon yang lumayan baru untuk media komputasi. Dibanding PDA, ukuran lebih besar, spesifikasi teknis juga jauh lebih baik. Dibanding notebook, ukuran lebih kecil, spesifikasi teknis sedikit di bawah. Spesifikasi teknis tentu
bersifat relatif, ada juga yang sudah setara notebook umumnya. Sebagai gambaran prosesor 900mhz, RAM 512 MB, screen 7", hard disk 30 GB. Tapi dilengkapi dengan feature jaringan (WIFI, bluetooth). Operating system sudah memakain Windows XP table PC, jadi mendukung hand writing recognition & inking. Disediakan juga Port USB, external monitor, microphone, ear phones dll. Sehingga bisa juga di gunakan seperti komputer desktop terutama saat bekerja di meja. Cocok untuk mereka yang selalu bergerak tapi juga memerlukan komputer tapi juga memerlukan sebuah komputer untuk pengolahan data (office document). Sementara mungkin sebuah table notebook masih terlalu berat dan harganya lebih mahal. Sementara mereka juga tidak terlalu memerlukan spesifikasi teknis yang terlalu tinggi. Harga berkisar antara 900$ (Samsung Q1) - 2000$ (Fujitsu). Ga tau ya udah di jual disini atau belum. Model yang ada di pasaran antara lain Samsung Q1, tabletkiosk, Fuijtsu, Sony, OQO. Perbadingan product (disini (http://www.dynamism.com/sa1/main.shtm )). Ingin lihat demo produk, bisa search produk UMPC di www.youtube.com atau www.cnettv.com. Useful links:
Posted by toen on May 28, '07 9:40 AM for everyone Personal development does not have to be delivered by 'serious' or formal guys.
