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!)
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).

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)
Be yourself?
I noticed something funny yesterday (for me at least). I just realized that “Be Yourself” by Audioslave was the only song that has zero playcount on Rhythmbox, even though it’s been weeks since I installed Lucid and God knows how many times it plays “Human Beings” by Van Halen over and over. It’s rather surprising that there’s a song that hasn’t been played yet despite the playlist is quite short (about 158 songs). Guess that’s what you’d expect from shuffle mode, but still…
Speaking about “Be Yourself”, I think it’s the only necessary mantra to get yourself alienated from the crowd. People tend to expect you to dress the same, behave the same, speak the same, and or think the same like them before they would accept you tho the group. To be yourself means being different to the rest of the group, and that’s a no-no.
But what am I kidding? We are social beings to begin with, so to submit to the peer pressure is only inevitable. Even if it’s feel bitter 
A witty advice
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.
