Different Result

Yesterday, Nicky Hayden won his first motoGP championship. This broken off Vallentino Rossi's hegemony in motoGP class. I belived that Rossi is unbeatable but he lose by himself, with high preasure the holder couldn't handled this game. He slipped down from his motor, althougth he could continue until finish but the game was over. Hayden deserved this title because he gave all his ability to beat Rossi. Really unlucky day for Mr Valle "Lucky Man" Rossi. Congrats for Hayden.

But different result goes to AC Milan which was beaten by their rival, Inter Milan. As a fan of AC Milan, I thought this was Carlo Ancelloti's mistake. The strategy was very poorly and no creativity by this coach. But I was really happy with all AC Milan's player which are given the best performance and work hard to reach a win. But until final whistle , Inter won this match and deserved it. Ancelloti still have too much home work to make AC Milan better and the best, If he cannot prove it, I think fired him will be the best decision for Management.

Naruto Anime Mania

Since 2 years ago , I was a member of narutocentral to get the newest naruto anime. But during that time I feel something not good enough for me. It's about the movie/anime quality. Because I was a free member so I just got low quality of anime. FYI, this anime has size around 30-40 Mb for duration 20-30 minutes long. So, as you know this is very painful.

But now all painful will vanish, now I get new site which provides naruto anime with high quality. For same duration , the file size is larger than before. With file size around 170 Mb , you will get movie quality as same as DVD quality. What is this site ? please check out from narutochaos .Just signup as free member then you will get what you want. No free stuff without any caveat, in here only one caveat that i get is you can only download three Episodes from a media server every 24 hours.

Still finding other nice site for naruto mania :p

High-Tense MotoGP

I wanna say congrat to Mr Valentinno "Lucky" Rossi who finally got first-rank-championship rider. But the game isn't not over man, he must give all of his power to get the champion at last grand prix. Althought I am not a fans of neither Rossi nor Hayden, but I wish Hayden will be a champion in this season. Because my reason is I am like a challenger instead of a holder.

I am also will give "Golden Knob" award to Dani Pedrosa, althought I am a fan of him. With "kamikaze" action, now Hayden have very hard burden to get his first championship. But actually I am very like with Dani's performace in this season and of course with younger age and with brilian talent I believe in next season he will give push harder to the holder. So no one doubt that he choose as Rookie in his first motoGP class.

The amazing performance has been shown by Toni Ellias who finished in first podium. From other Rookies (Stonner and Pedrosa) only Toni who is never got podium before. But finally, at Estoril he deserved to get it. The unforgotten action is he always use sliding-style to catch up the leader. I believe if he can hold on current his performance , it's possible he will call "King of Sliding". As far as I know currently only Gary McCoy hold this nickname

OK, The last grand prix at Valencia will determine who will be a champion. Let's see, what will be doing by Rossi, Hayden and Dani. Very very high-tense MotoGP season

Nice day

I think today is very nice day for me. After waiting for long time about visa request, finally my visa has been approved by UK embassy. I don't why it's direcly approved and doesn't any inteview again. But whatever about all, the important thing now is I go to head office as soon as possible. Horay .. Approved...

Hacker Cheat :p

A colleague of mine sent me this link http://www.freestuffhotdeals.com/hacker/1.html, and being a puzzle addict myself I happily answered the riddles but that fuckin ojofuffo kept me stuck in page 19… anyways I finally got to the last page and saw granny dancing.

Below are the answers to all the pages:

The first page gives all the hint you’ll ever need, and you have to be really dumb if you cant get to the next page. Just replace 1 with 2.

Page 2 has the word “two”, follow the pattern to go to the next level… replace 2 with three.

To get to page 4 just replace three with iv. Think that’s self explanatory, since iv is the roman numeral of the number four.

You’ll get the word ruof which is the number four spelled backwards. Since the next page you want to go to is 5, you have to type the word five in reverse as well, so type in evif to go to page 5.

You’re in page five and have this ffiivvee glaring at you. You just have to see the pattern; you want to get to page 6, double every letter and you’ll get ssiixx.

666666. No its not an evil sign or something. Just follow the pattern, no need to compute… just type in 7 seven times. 7777777

uranus is the seventh planet in the solar system, so you have to ask what the eighth planet is… and the only answer is neptune.

acht is number 8 in German language… so it’s telling us to give the number 9 in German which is neun, pronounced as noin.

sept, once again you just have to see the pattern, September is the ninth month and October is the tenth month but you have to just type in oct since the clue is abbreviated.

Next page will give you a 10th of spades playing card, the next level you’re aiming is 11, and if you’re talking about cards, there is no eleven, but there is jack.

Page 11 just shows you eLeVeN, so all you need to do is follow suit and type in the number twelve, but make sure you’re following the pattern, notice that the word eLeVeN has caps alternately, so you have to type in twelve in the same pattern… tWeLvE

144, now you have to do some math in here. 144 is the product of 12 x 12, since we want the page 13, you have to compute for 13 x 13 = 169

You’ll only get a black page on level 13, so you have the highlight the center and you’ll get the word number13, so level 14 means typing in number14, no space between number and 14.

catorce, is the number 14 in Spanish… so the number 15 is quince

James Buchanan, is the fifteenth president of the USA, and so it follows that the site is asking for the sixteenth president who is none other than Abraham Lincoln. just type in lincoln.

sedecim is number 16 in latin, and you know the rule… number 17 in Latin is septendecim

10001 is 17 in binary. You just have to find the conversion of the decimal number 18 into binary. The binary numeral system (base 2 numerals) represents numeric values using two symbols, and the only numbers you’ll be seeing are 0 and 1.
<-- this is the long way to compute.
Based on this computation/formula you will gather that the typical way to count numbers in binary is 1 2 4 8 16 32 64 and so on. You just have to put 1s and 0s in the sequence to add up to 18, another thing is you count it backwards. See the table below to get to the 10010 binary value of 18.



(Just remember that 1 has a value and 0 is null, so you’ll notice that only the numbers 2 and 16 are marked with 1… so 2+16 = 18)

argon is the 18th element in the periodic table of elements, and potassium is the 19th element. (Now, this one makes you remember your chemistry teacher and how you hated her when she asked you to memorized all the elements and its corresponding number in the table)

ojofuffo, now this fuckin word kept me stuck! How could this meaningless word would mean anything like 19 or be related to 20? I’ve tried different languages but no, so grrr I asked the answer from leslie, and she said the answer is uxfouz. Ok what the heck! I can’t just accept that the answer is uxfouz, there has to be logic. Then when you see the logic you’ll realize that ojofuffo is not meaningless afterall. It’s a sequence wherein you replace an alphabet letter by shifting one letter forward. So a=b, b=c, c=d, and so on. nineteen becomes ojofuffo and twenty becomes uxfouz.

icosagon is the 20 sided polygon. Remember the rule of naming polygons with greek prefixes. Anyways, the 21 sided polygon is called icosihenagon.

1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, ... 10946. This is the famous fibonacci sequence (adding the last 2 digits to get the next number). 10946 is the 21st number in the sequence so you have to compute to get the 22nd number which is 17711. The formula is usually Fn = Fn-1 + Fn-2

Aoozy, Booyy, Cooxy, ... Vooey… look for the pattern, and you’ll see the answer. First letter in the word is capitalized and follow the normal sequence of the alphabet. Next letter to V in the alphabet is W, it is consistent that the 2nd and 3rd letters is o, so we now have Woo. The fourth letter is backwards, from z to a, hence from vooey, the next letter to e is d, and we have the word Wood. The last letter is always y, so the answer would be Woody.

And you’ll see this granny dancing

A Wish from A Begger

Today I have interviewed at UK embassy to get my visa. Nothing difficult questions for me and I already answered as I can. I hope tommorow this visa will be released for me and I can go to head office as soon as possible. Too many sad memories in here that I must clear from my mind. Just a wish from a begger :)


Trying busy in idle time :)

At these several days, I write down a journal in my blog frequently. Yes, currently I often in idle at office. Almost 2 weeks without new job and every day just doing transfer knowledge to my friends who will take all of my responsible since I go to head office.

Then I tried some java technology in my free time, I have explore how to access Scanner and Web Camera device via Java. Horay, I 'd like to thank to all java developer in the world, because they already created some utility class to support those exercises :p. FYI, to connect scanner device via Java you can refer to these following articles :
As additional you can also follow the milestone of JTwain Project . Because it's relative new so currently you can't get the real implementation from it :(. Please be patient bro.

The second exercise is I used JMF (Java Media Framework) to connect, access and capture from Web Camera device via Java. It's very really simple, just install JMF library , then register device using JMFRegistry and create SwingCapture class . Finnally, it's done and working properly. FYI, I used webcam from logitech family , and I am not guarantee for another webcam brand will be running OK in JMF.

I am very happy because I can still doing my hobby in my busy work :p. I hope this article will give some benefits for other java developer.

Preparing to Management Master

I am always believe that to be successfull as an employee you can't only rely on your technical skill. It's also need some soft skill like management, administration, speaking etc. To be that, I have plan to take Master course at Indonesia , maybe I'll take Management (please praying for me :p) in next year. Then after reading an article on Joel on Software , Reading List: Fog Creek Software Management Training Program, I am re-thinking again and little bit shame with the knowledge that I have now. There so many recommended-book by Joel which I haven't read before, preciselly almost all of the books :p. Fortunally I have read the one book "Applied Cryptography" as reference in my final project.

So I have short plan to read those books possible I can, before I take Management Master. Does anyone get same problem like me ? Let's share to me :p. And I hope I can spend my day in other country to do this.





Funny Accident

Two days ago, I slipped and fallen from my motor cycle. After dinner together with sister then I go back to my house. When I was on the way , the whether is somewhat rainy. Although i tried drive carefully, suddently my motor cycle's tire slipped because the road was slick. Before I fallen down, I remembered I though ridiculous some words "If She were mine". Finally I lay down on the road, but fortunatelly I was OK. Nothing serious injured just a little bit scratch in my finger.

But followed with my accident , I saw a funny accident again. It's not happen again to me but it's happen to someone. Exactly it's a little boy who slipped and fallen down too like me.

So, I would like to give an advice .. Please be carefull when you drive motor cycle in the rain. Believe me !!
