You’re idiot or what, lady?

Spammers just don’t know when to quit. This particular girl has sent me several spams, and this morning I got another one from her in my Gmail inbox.

Just using common sense would let her know that the promotion is fake. Few reasons:

  1. I don’t think Apple would use spam for their promotion
  2. We got Apple branch office here at Indonesia?
  3. Apple officer use other company’s e-mail for official promotion?

But I guess greed make her IQ dropped by few points, eh?

Below is the spam

Upgrading WordPress

March 4th, 2010. Posted by Willy Permana

Today when I logged in into this blog dashboard, there’s a notification to update WP to 2.9. 2 version.

When I installed WP for this blog, I did it manually, not with Fantastico installer. But for this update, I’ll go with WP automatic update. I have to back up some files and database first. The database back up process is done (lurrrvv you, phpMyAdmin), and right now I’m waiting for files back up process to be completed (it’s testing my patience, as it’s so slow).

Wish me luck :)

RPM Konten: Imposing analog rules on digital era

February 18th, 2010. Posted by Willy Permana

Internet user on Indonesia got a surprising Valentine gift from Minister of Communication & Information, Mr Tifatul Sembiring, in form of Rancangan Peraturan Menteri Konten & Multimedia. Plenty of people voiced rejection for this draft, as it’s somewhat reflecting the Orba spirit (censorship, privacy breaching). Even companies and organizations like Kaskus, Aliansi Jurnalis Indonesia and Kamar Dagang dan Industri (to name a few) reject this draft.

Just when people already embracing People 2.0 culture, Mr Tifatul still think in Gov 1.0 paradigm. Well, Mr Tifatul, you might want to reflect to this statement

Those folks who try to impose analog rules on digital content will find themselves on the wrong side of the tidal wave

Universities, colleges and academies at Bangka

February 9th, 2010. Posted by Willy Permana

There’s several universities, colleges and academies at Bangka island. They are

And there’s some others which I couldn’t remember :) .

I think it’d be a good thing if high-schooler at Bangka and Belitung islands choose to continue their education on local schools instead at Java or Sumatra schools. The money they’d spend will contribute to local economy. Also, some local schools already got “B” accreditation from Badan Akreditasi Nasional (some even on progress to “A” accreditation), so they shouldn’t worry about local company questioning their capabilities.

Of course, if they’re aiming to get best education quality, they should apply for famous universities at Java or Sumatra, or even go abroad, provided they could afford it :) .

PS. Almost forgot to mention Universitas Terbuka :D

Screenshot, screenshot!

February 4th, 2010. Posted by Willy Permana

On Windows box, I usually grab web pages screenshot using Fireshot add-on for Firefox. It got rich features, including built-in editor, annotation insertion, printing and e-mail integration. Too bad it’s not available for Linux.

Anyway, there’s still plenty of screenshot add-on available for Linux. Currently I’m using Screengrab. It simply saves webpages as images or copy them into clipboard. It can grab complete page, visible portion or just a selection. It also integrated to Firefox context menu.

Well, it’s not as sophisticated as Fireshot, but it’s good enough for my need :) .
