A witty advice

Posted by Willy Permana in Komputer on May 22, 2010

My netbook webcam doesn’t work properly on BlankOn Nanggar. It can capture images, but it will be displayed upside down. After several hours googling, I finally get some sure workaround to solve this problem.

*Try holding your computer upside-down*. Dead simple, no? :)


Even though I already used the libv4l library, the webcam still displaying images upside-down. Maybe the webcam still haven’t been included on libv4l table on Nanggar release.

Well, it’s not like I badly need to use the webcam. But I do hope it’ll be fixed on the next BlankOn release. Maybe it’s already fixed on Ubuntu 10.04.

Weather anomaly

Posted by Willy Permana in Lain-lain on May 13, 2010

Back on the elementary school, our teacher thaught us that on Indonesia, dry season begins on April and ends on September. Back then it fits to the facts; on April there were only light rains, leftover from previous rain season. And on May, the day were always sunny and completely dry that we have to go miles to the public well or sago palm forests to get fresh water.

But these days, the seasons seems to be messed up. This morning I waken up by the sounds of heavy rain outside. I remember last year we still got rain on July.

But that’s okay, I’ll accept rain on holiday. That’s more reason to stay at home and tinkering with my Linux machines :)
