XMMS on Fedora Core 4

I've had installed Fedora Core 4 in my notebook, together with WindowsXP. FYI, the type of my notebook is Compaq EVO N800W, very high specification and performance :) although it has old type. That was really common disappointment on Fedora Core 4, the most usefully application is not installed by default, it was XMMS. Maybe you're agree with me about that because we cannot work comfortably without the music, and the most really suck again was Fedora Core 4 CDs not included XMMS application. But you don't be affraid, we can do install manually from rpm packages which are distributed on many Linux sites. There are following minimal rpm packages that i got to installing XMMS application properly :

xmms-1.2.10-19.fc4.i386.rpm // the core of xmms application
xmms-mp3-1.2.10-13.2.fc4.i386.rpm // plug-in module for xmms to play mp3 files
xmms-skins-1.2.10-13.i386.rpm // minimal skin for xmms GUI
xmms-wma-1.0.5-1.2.fc4.i386.rpm // optional, only if you will play wma files
mikmod-devel-3.1.6-35.FC4.i386.rpm // development module for play soundtracking on linux
mikmod-3.1.6-35.FC4.i386.rpm // library module for play soundtracking on linux

After you got it, then executed them with rpm command :
rpm -ivh xmms-1.2.10-19.fc4.i386.rpm xmms-mp3-1.2.10-13.2.fc4.i386.rpm xmms-skins-1.2.10-13.i386.rpm xmms-wma-1.0.5-1.2.fc4.i386.rpm mikmod-devel-3.1.6-35.FC4.i386.rpm mikmod-3.1.6-35.FC4.i386.rpm

To run XMMS, just type "xmms" (without double quote) on command line interface or run menu at KMenu. Now , you can enjoy work on Linux with playing your favorite music :-), but there is some noise in music sound and the linux sound quality not as good as windows sound. So,until now i still confused why linux is not good for entertainment program, especially audio and video :(. D'you can answer that ?

Hard Rock Cafe - Jakarta

Last week, precisely at Friday night, my company held outing event at Hard Rock cafe. This place was just second alternative before, the first we would play go-cart but unfortunately it was cancelled because the Jakarta's weather was often rainy. So, dinner at Hard Rock café and followed with playing bowling were the best choice. This was the first time for me came to Hard Rock café and I thought this place is very glamour and prestigious for ordinary boy like me :-). The foods are almost very expensive, for example: you must pay min twenty thousand rupiahs just for soft drink, and hmm min one hundred and fifty thousand rupiahs for some foods. Then I just ordered soft drink, I little bit remembered the name is "Pierre xxx", instead of my friends who ordered martini, beer and some alcoholic drink :(. As you know, that my ordered soft drink was not special, it just a mineral drink like soda or aqua. Because of it just from different producer (foreign producer) then the price is very expensive. But I was very impressed when I ordered lamb chop steak, tender meat, sweet tempered, and of course with high price. That event will be reminded for me forever, the most glamour place which I visited until now for just only to eat and talk. Yes it is good quality place for the rich people who will throw theirs money. Believe me!!.

With increasing my age, I hope I will better in behaviour, chance and of course all of in my future planning. Amien

First Time Install on Solaris

Continuing with my scarab problems, I explain in my article before that I had successfully cheated to make clean compile scarab installationJ. But there are many problems again before scarab can be running up. I think it’s caused by solaris OS L which known as one of the best OS but with complex configuration. FYI, there are some synonyms name within solaris, some people sometimes called sunOS or just Solaris.

Regarding manual installation of scarab, it explains that scarab need requirement database server (mostly using MySQL server) with version 4.0 or up. Currently in my sunOS just running MySQL 3.23, it’s very oldest hah? So you’re right, I must install the new one. Wow , this is my first time install a software on Solaris. First I go to www.sunfreeware.com to get MySQL installer. Then i follow step by step rule install howto (there are coming from many articles and communities), what I am doing is nothing more than just follow it . So in my opinion, installing on solaris is not so easy and not difficult too. You just to know what the error messages are, then you should search the answer by google aid or solve by your experience. The most important thing is I am very enjoying work with Solaris although in daily working I still use Windows. Because of with big community you will never lost an answer for your problem. Trust me bro !!, today my scarab is running up on sunOS 5.8 , aka Solaris 8.

How long a Java Class Name length?

I have found some strange behaviour in Java. Today, I failed to install scarab in sunOS 5.8, but last day I had succefully install on windows OS (wow that's why widows is more interesting :)). Because i am a fighter so i am not give in that condition. With my experience on ant builder tool then i checked one by one the error messages. What i found ? javac compiler cannot clean compile because some of java codes are not imported properly. But IMO, those codes are right on. Then google in action, i search all about keyword that are appropriate with error messages. Finally, I know those errors are caused the long limitation of java class name, hmm i am jugde java is bad for this condition. FYI, java class name is limited until 71 character, there included package_name+class_name. But it will run properly in windows , why ? because windows separate package and class name, windows just know package only as directory, so we will never create java class name with more that 71 chars length, right ?. All of above are first answer for this problem. There is second answer that's coming from my friend in JUG milist. He said, this problem is not caused from java instead of from Operating System. Every OS have different behaviour for supporting file name (in that case for java class name), so older OS maybe have capability to support shorter file name length. Until now i am still confusing about those answers. But what i do is how to make scarab is running properly in sunOS, I make a little cheat by copying all of scarab's java classes from windows into sunOS. And it makes run, he4x this is an advantage of java ... Multi platform languange !!
