RPM Konten: Imposing analog rules on digital era
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
There’s several universities, colleges and academies at Bangka island. They are
- Universitas Bangka Belitung
- STIE Pertiba
- STIE IBEK
- STIH Pertiba
- STMIK Atma Luhur
- STIKES Abdi Nusa
- STIKES Citra Delima
- Akbid Depati Hamzah
- Akbid Sepintu Sedulang
- Politeknik Manufaktur Timah
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
Screenshot, screenshot!
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
