Foto-foto di Jogjakarta

On November 28th, 2007 with no comments in travelling, fun, personal

Beberapa hari yang lalu saya berkesempatan melancong ke Jogjakarta, posting lebih lengkap nanti menyusul :D
Tapi sebagian foto-foto ada di halaman Pictures, boleh dilihat-lihat siapa tahu nanti pengen ke Jogja juga.

Tapi sayang sekali saya tidak sempat main ke Mirota Kampus, ini dulu itu semacam mall ya… bukan kampus tempat anak kuliahan itu. Mmm… tapi, duluuu (1989an) itu juga tempat nongkrong mahasiswa; mungkin karena itu disebut kampus juga ya.

df - Disk Free for Windows

On November 28th, 2007 with no comments in productivity, tools

Do not compare this ‘df’ with ‘df’ on *nix :p
This ‘df’ just a simple tiny (only 40KB) console application to show disk size, free space, used space, with percentage of each installed fixed drives in Windows.

Find it in Freeware page,
or direct to “df - Disk Free” page here ::.

Lotus Symphony for Windows Beta 2 from IBM

On November 7th, 2007 with no comments in productivity, cross platform

After a little over a month, IBM released beta 2 of Lotus Symphony.

I already used it for daily use, but for spreadsheet I still use Excell after bad experience with OOo, which a simple COUNTIF() gave me wrong result because after little more test, seems OOo doesn’t support ‘wildcard’, but well, back to Lotus Symphony, LS Document is ok, though it’s nice if we can configure shortcuts; LS Presentation, maybe just me, full screen is not full screen, …

On October 23rd, 2007 with 1 comment in productivity, tools

This is mkZIp renamed to zipnftp to reflect the function of the tool more precisely, and because too many tools already named mkZip…
From previous post:

I uploaded a little program utility that I use daily to backup a folder to a zip with datetime in the zip filename (eg. salesrep-070118-1230.zip) and upload that zip to ftp server in a directory depend on the year/month (eg. back0701 folder).

I search the tools in the net but could not find one, so I …

I uploaded a little program utility that I use daily to backup a folder to a zip with datetime in the zip filename (eg. salesrep-070118-1230.zip) and upload that zip to ftp server in a directory depend on the year/month (eg. back0701 folder).

Site(s) update

On October 15th, 2007 with no comments in intern

After feedback by readers, I rearranged Trooper-Indonesia BALI to make it easier to see Recent Posts and Comments. Current theme was not suitable so we have to choose another theme; create or select from massive collection on the net.
After comparing more than dozen, and our own creation, then we choose New Order theme by writerspace with very little modification to suit the site.
And many new pictures added to the gallery, please give it a …

Problem with Indosat’s DNS

On September 26th, 2007 with no comments in Uncategorized

For about a week, seems there’s problem with Indosat’s DNS server, it can not resolve some domain name including this dewai.net !
Naturally I complained the hosting service, because I can browse other sites without any problem. After some testing then I realized the problem at their DNS 202.155.0.10/202.155.0.15, I changed to other DNS: 212.2.96.52 (I think it is Telkom’s :D )
This morning I tried to use only Indosat’s, but the problem’s still there so I added back 212.2.96.52.

Is it …

Lotus Symphony

On September 22nd, 2007 with no comments in productivity, cross platform

I tried Lotus Symphony for some times, it is built on Eclipse just like CodeGear’s 3rdRail and JBuilder also I think.
The first thing I notice was the icon, it’s the same with Lotus Notes 6.x, maybe with newer Lotus Notes; I read somewhere that Lotus Notes is built on Eclipse also, since Notes 7 I think.

It seems the interface much differ with other office suite, but I guess I …

Office Suite application

On September 21st, 2007 with no comments in productivity

It’s been a while I use OpenOffice most of the time and some MS Excel at office, in my opinion MS Excel is the best spreadsheet and used extensively in my office.
Until recently I am just aware that Lotus Symphony is back. Yes ! That Symphony, was big brother of Lotus 123.
Looong time ago, this Symphony was great. The first Office suite in DOS text era (as far as I remember), and then came Aston-Tate’s Framework.

I just downloaded Lotus Symphony beta, not yet try it, and I am not sure whether it’s free or no; yet at the website I don’t see link about pricing.
