Whoa, it’s 2011 already?

It’s been a while since the last time I wrote on this blog. And for a while I think it couldn’t again. You see, I totally forgot that this domain is expiring last Tuesday (Jan 11th). Good thing I noticed before too late. Paid the bill, and this site will still up till January next year, hopefully.

Following the 365 day challenge on my other blog, I might do similar challenge on this blog too. Not 365 consecutive daily post, off course. That would be way crazy. Once a week sounds reasonable. And if even that’s too hard, I can always lower the target to 1-2 posts a month (albeit it can no longer called a challenge, isn’t it?)

The point is, this year I’m planning to make full use of this blog. Write till the last period. Quantity over quality! :P

Lekhonee on Lucid Lynx

After installing python-gtkhtml2 from Karmic repository, now I can install Lekhonee on my netbook. Don’t really have to install it from source, I just have to fetch it’s .deb packages from repository.

Lekhonee is still as simple as when I used it on Blankon Nanggar. At least it worked well. It fetch categories I used on this blog, and I can put tags too. gnome-blog didn’t offer those features.

I hope Lekhonee would get more features on the future, such as ability to save local draft and more formatting option (code, blockquote, etc).

The post is brought to you by lekhonee v0.7

Testing gnome-blog

Lekhonee from repo can’t be installed on Lucid, and I’m feeling lazy to build it from source. So I’m trying gnome-blog. The interface even more simple than Lekhonee (and I thought Lekhonee is dull)

Weather anomaly

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 :)

Upgrading WordPress

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 :)
