Selamat dan Lanjutkan!

Berdasarkan hasil penghitungan suara cepat (quick count) yang dilakukan oleh sejumlah lembaga survey hingga malam hari ini, pasangan Bapak SBY-Boediono jauh memimpin pengumpulan suara, mengungguli kedua pasangan Presiden/Wakil Presiden yang lainnya. Hasil ini belum dapat dijadikan pegangan resmi, karena penghitungan suara di KPU masih berlangsung sampai beberapa hari ke depan. Walaupun demikian, saya (dan mungkin juga anda) yakin hasil resminya nanti tidak akan jauh berbeda dengan hasil yang ada sekarang.
Dan ini telah kita saksikan bersama dalam pemilihan-pemilihan sebelumnya.

Oleh karena itu, rasanya tidaklah terlalu dini dan berlebihan sekiranya saya mengucapkan selamat kepada Bapak SBY-Boediono atas kemenangan ini. Semoga Bapak dapat membawa Indonesia menjadi lebih baik dan maju di masa lima tahun mendatang. Amin.

Wees Dankbaar

Ik citeer een paar zinnen uit het boek, “Die sewe geheime van sukses”, pagina 36, in het Boers, om mij te herinneren en hopelijk zou het nuttig zijn voor ons allemaal.

“Wees in alle omstandighede dankbaar. Wees daankbaar in teespoed. Wees dankbaar wanneer jy bedroef is. Wees dankbaar wanneer jy jou op ‘n golf van geluk of in die dieptes van ellende bevind. Dank Hom, prys sy Naam, want die Here is goed, aan sy liefde is daar geen einde nie, sy trou duur van geslag tot geslag.”

Prettig weekend!

Open Source and Drilling Activities?

Yesterday I was triggered by a friend’s question whether it is possible to use or adopt open source application in drilling activities. In spite of the fact that most (perhaps all) of drilling softwares are Windows based and proprietary ones, but I see the potential possibilities. Do you agree with that?

This question is surely kind of waking me up and making my eyes wide open to explore more. In conjunction with this, I would like to ask your favor. Is there someone out there who has working case studies or experience and minds to sharing those with me? Hopefully we could contribute something useful to drilling world.

I am trying to come back soon with some insightful things regarding this matter.

Thank you.

When are you going to release it ? Hopefully I will be able to announce it publicly by the end of this month or within the first week of July. Stay tuned.

Thank you.

Update:

I forgot to mention something. Starting from this release, besides the version information, I will give a release a name. The name of SLAMPP 2.0 is Kalinda. I name it after my daughter’s name. :)

Mirror Server Needed for SLAMPP

Dear friends, if everything goes smooth as expected, I am planning to release the new version of SLAMPP at the end of this month. The new SLAMPP will be based on the latest stable release of  Zenwalk and Slackware Linux 12.2. Just like the previous releases, SLAMPP is compiled to be an instant home server solution to everyone who would like to set up their own server without any fuss. However, the size of the iso file would be a little bit bigger than before, estimated around 650 to 700 MB. Hopefully you will not complain about it. Right now I am in the phase of beta testing the protoype.

Regarding this release plan, I would like to ask your favor, guys. I urgently need (a or) some mirror servers to distribute SLAMPP. Location does not matter me, as long as you have enough space and bandwith to serve the traffic. So, if there is someone out there could help me out with this, please let me know. I will appreciate your support.

I will be back to you soon with more details about the release. Thank you so much.

Update:

I am also open and welcome for new SLAMPP logo and desktop background submission from public. I will include your creation in the release.

Jajak Pendapat Pilpres 2009

Sekedar memeriahkan pesta demokrasi kedua tahun ini setelah pemilihan legislatif awal April yang lalu, saya ingin mengadakan jajak pendapat kecil-kecilan bagi para pengunjung situs ini. Tentunya jangan anda samakan hasil jajak pendapat ini dengan hasil survey yang telah dilakukan oleh lembaga-lembaga survey profesional, karena bisa dipastikan hasilnya tidak dapat dipertanggungjawabkan secara ilmiah. Jadi, jangan dibawa serius ya teman-teman. :) Siapapun yang menang nantinya, mudah-mudahan dapat membawa Indonesia kepada kemajuan dan peningkatan kesejahteraan rakyat. Amin. Selamat memilih!

Update 8 Juli 2009:
Dengan telah diselenggarakannya Pemilihan Presiden RI 2009 pada hari ini, maka jajak pendapat ini saya tutup. Adapun hasilnya, sesuai dengan prediksi banyak orang, yang akan menjadi pasangan Presiden dan Wakil Presiden RI berikutnya adalah pasangan Bapak SBY dan Bapak Boediono. Selamat !

Terima kasih atas partisipasi teman-teman dalam jajak pendapat ini. Sampai jumpa di jajak pendapat selanjutnya.

Open Source dan Pilpres RI 2009

Sepertinya dalam ajang Pemilihan Presiden Republik Indonesia tahun ini, komunitas Open Source di Indonesia dapat berbangga hati dan mengambil banyak manfaat (dibaca: rezeki materi dan immateri). Kenapa saya beranggapan demikian? Tidaklah perlu kita melihat terlalu jauh dan membuat analisa yang dalam untuk membuktikannya. Cara sederhana yang dapat dilakukan semua orang adalah dengan mengunjungi situs web resmi kampanye masing-masing calon pasangan Presiden dan Wakil Presiden tersebut dan memperhatikan secara keseluruhan tampilan yang ada.

Dari tampilan luar dan karakteristik yang terlihat, seseorang dapat dengan segera mengenali aplikasi yang digunakan untuk membuat situs-situs tersebut. Untuk memperoleh informasi lingkungan server, saya menggunakan data yang disediakan oleh Netcraft dan DomainTools. Berikut ringkasannya.

Radio PPI Dunia

Sebagai seorang mahasiswa yang pernah berkecimpung di Perhimpunan Pelajar Indonesia (PPI) di luar negeri, rasanya tidaklah berlebihan jika saya ikut mempromosikan media komunikasi baru yang dapat mempersatukan seluruh PPI di dunia ini. Mudah-mudahan dengan adanya media ini dapat memperkuat persatuan dan kesatuan pelajar/mahasiswa Indonesia di mana pun mereka berada.

Silakan kunjungi situs Radio PPI Dunia dan dengarkanlah suara teman-teman anda dari seluruh dunia.

Selamat menikmati (dan bernostalgia!).
