Who’s the worst liar?

Posted by Willy Permana in Usil on April 17, 2010

The third worst people in this world is casual liars, because they tell regular lies to you.

The second worst people in this world is lawyers, because they tell legally convicting lies to you.

The real worst people in this world is politicians. They can tell a lie so vivid that even they come to believe it.

*Note: This joke ‘s taken from one of the posts in Politikana without permission :P

Happy unbirthday!

Posted by Willy Permana in Komputer, Usil on March 11, 2010

Uhh, I guess today is not my unbirthday. But yesterday is my unbirthday. My 9106th unbirthday, to be exact.

What’s an unbirthday? Why, it’s any day that’s not one birthday, of course. It’s a term first coined in Lewis Carrol‘s novel Through the Looking Glass.

Now, how do we check how many unbirthday has passed? If you’re using Debian/Ubuntu or their derivatives, you can install python2.6-examples package, which include a script to count your unbirthday days. For other distro or OS, please refer to included manual :P

$ sudo apt-get install python2.6-examples
$ python /usr/share/doc/python2.6/examples/Demo/scripts/unbirthday.py

If you’re interested on the novel, you can download it for free from Project Gutenberg website.
