Installing Firefox Aurora binary
I rarely use Firefox these days. I usually use Chrome, Lynx or Opera for web browsing. I think it’s because the latest Firefox version on BlankOn repository is 3.6 (or is it 3.5?). It’s still quite a good one, but I didn’t have any reason to use it while I got other browsers on their latest version at my disposal.
A couple days before, I decided to try Firefox again. But which one? I decided to get Aurora build. I’d like to get the nightly build but I guess it’s a bit overboard. Read more
Wikipedia planned to do anti-SOPA blackout
I’ve heard the news for couple weeks, but only this morning I read official announcement from Wikimedia foundations about their Wikipedia blackout plan. It’s quite an unfortunate decision, but I agree that Wikipedia must make clear of their stance and hold their grounds against the absurdities SOPA and PIPA now (and would) bring.
I heard other Internet giants (Google, Facebook, etc) will launch their own anti-SOPA campaign. I hope their campaign will be a victorious one.

Ubunchu #006
After long hiatus, Indonesian translation of Ubunchu #006 is finally released. The zip file is hosted at ubunchu.dompu.info, along with previous issues. Neat.
Thanks for Mr Farhan Perdana for doing the translations (and inserting random local jokes here & there 
Anjrit!)
The Piratebay switch to magnet link as default options
The Pirate Bay has announced that they’ve decide to make magnet link as default replacing torrent files. The torrent files would be still available as usual.
I really had no idea what significance this change would bring. Some say this means TPB is doomed to die. Some say it’ll be for better. Well, as I rarely use TPB (3 or 4 times top, IIRC), it doesn’t really matter to me.
Update to WP 3.3.1
There’s notification from WordPress.org that WordPress 3.3.1 is available. As it contain fix for XSS vulnerability that affects WP 3.3, I immediately update this blog WP installation. The update went unusually smoothfast; maybe because it’s a minor update?
If your website run WP 3.3, you should also update it immediately.
