The New Hacker Manifesto

Manifest

I. Hacker

1. We are those, the Different. Technological rats, swimming in the ocean of information.

2. We are the retiring, little kid at school, sitting at the last desk, in the corner of the class room.

3. We are the teenager everybody considers strange

4. We are the student hacking computer systems, exploring the depth of his reach.

5. We are the grown-up in the park, sitting on a bench, laptop on his knees, programming the last virtual reality. Read the rest of this entry »

I have 26 hours a day

Many of you maybe don’t know how come we can have extra 2 hours? Here the story begin.

Yesterday when I was working, one of my friends told me that he had a project to do, and asked me to help him taking down this project. It’s quite a ‘big sum’ project for me. I really hope that I can do that, but if only I have the time. Actually it’s not that I don’t have the time I need, just I don’t know how to manage my time.

As usual before I sleep every night, I let myself rest a while and think back what have I done the entire day. And so I got a conclusion for myself, maybe for you if you want.

If I can work effectively, it’s not impossible that I can have all my jobs done in less than working hour. If I can do it, that means that I have much more time left to do something else. I think that is possible for everyone. It depend on ourselves. In conclusion, I ‘generate’ formulas to have more time each day:

  1. Stop doing things that is useless (in vain).
  2. Stop being lazy.
  3. Never postpone doing your important tasks that is can be done right now, because you don’t know what will HAPPEN NEXT.

Nah, if you could do that, it’s 100% possible for you to have 26 hours a day. :)

Why 2012?

A little information before you start reading. This is an article (of a research) for Mayan’s Calender. I believe something will happen on 2012, as it will be the exact year with the end of Ancient Mayan’s Calender. Lastly, Zoiz Spells for 2012.

Why did the ancient Mayan or pre-Maya choose December 21st, 2012 A.D., as the
end of their Long Count calendar? This article will cover some recent research.
Scholars have known for decades that the 13-baktun cycle of the Mayan “Long
Count” system of timekeeping was set to end precisely on a winter solstice, and
that this system was put in place some 2300 years ago. This amazing fact – that
ancient Mesoameri- can skywatchers were able to pinpoint a winter solstice far
off into the future – has not been dealt with by Mayanists. And why did they
choose the year 2012? One immediately gets the impression that there is a very
strange mystery to be confronted here. I will be building upon a clue to this
mystery reported by epigrapher Linda Schele in Maya Cosmos (1994). This article
is the natural culmination of the research relating to the Mayan Long Count and
the precession of the equinoxes that I explored in my recent book Tzolkin:
Visionary Perspectives and Calendar Studies (Borderlands Science and Research
Foundation, 1994).

The Mayan Long Count
Just some basics to get us started. The Maya were adept skywatchers. Their
Classic Period is thought to have lasted from 200 A.D. to 900 A.D., but recent
archeological findings are pushing back the dawn of Mayan civilization in
Mesoamerica. Large ruin sites indicating high culture with distinctly Mayan
antecedents are being found in the jungles of Guatemala dating back to before
the common era. And even before this, the Olmec civilization flourished and
developed the sacred count of 260 days known as the tzolkin. The early Maya
adopted two different time keeping systems, the “Short Count” and the Long
Count. The Short Count derives from combining the tzolkin cycle with the solar
year and the Venus cycle of 584 days. In this way, “short” periods of 13, 52 and
104 years are generated. Unfortunately, we won’t have occasion to dwell on the
properties of the so-called Short Count system here. The Long Count system is
somewhat more abstract, yet is also related to certain astronomical cycles. It
is based upon nested cycles of days multiplied at each level by that key Mayan
number, twenty:

San’s News Update

It has been 7 days since the death of our beloved friend. The police forces has been collecting clue and witness. Last night when I was at UIB, I saw them (police and UIB staff, security, students) creating the reconstruction of the incident. That’s a nice move I think.

Whilst, the Peduli Keamanan Mahasiswa Petition has collected so far. I really appreciate your participations and thanks for signing it. Although there are some critics, but I knew that all of us have the same intention.

Update : Please don’t post your signature more than once in the petition. If you have any news or ideas to share, you can post it here, or at Rob’s Blog


UIB has decided to install CCTV at the campus
. It’s a good news. we are going to send this petition (with all signatures and comments) to all associated parties. But as now, we don’t have enough contact information (emails) yet. We will send it asap after we got all the email that we want.

Let’s pray for Sandriani. And hope that the police could find the murderer(s) and bring them to justice.

Regards,

Jac

R.I.P. Sandriani

SandrianiTadi siang Saya menerima kabar dari Eddyyanto tentang kepergian seorang teman kuliah kami yang bernama Sandriani (Mahasiswi jurusan Akuntansi semester 8). Sebelumnya Ia sempat dikabarkan hilang sejak hari jumat tanggal 13 Juli 2007, kabar menghilangnya Sandriani saya dapat dari blog Halim. pada post tersebut tertulis bahwa Sandriani naik taxi dari UIB ke bengkong (Menurut sumber lain, Ia sebenarnya akan pulang kerumahnya di batam centre, bukan bengkong) dan sejak malam itu dia tidak pulang kerumah. Karena cemas, Ibu nya mencoba untuk mencarinya melalui poster-poster yang disebarkan di mall maupun lewat pemberitahuan di koran.

Dan pada akhirnya dia ditemukan dalam keadaan tidak bernyawa di daerah sekitar Bukit Mata Kucing dalam keadaan terikat oleh tali rafia. yang menemukannya adalah seoarang tukang sampah. Menurut keterangan yang diberikan polisi pada pihak universitas kami, Sandriani diperkirakan telah meninggal sejak malam pertama Ia menghilang yaitu hari jumat tanggal 13 Juli 2007 dan menurut berita di Batam TV, pada malam itu juga terdapat penarikan tunai dari rekeningnya memalui atm (masih dalam tahap pelacakan lokasi penarikannya) yang memperkuat dugaan bahwa Ia adalah korban perampokan dan mungkin karena sesuatu dan lain hal, dia dibunuh oleh orang yang merampoknya.

Sekedar informasi, Sandriani adalah anak sulung dari 3 bersaudara. Ia tinggal bersama 2 adiknya beserta ibunya di Batam Centre (Ayahnya sudah tiada). Dan Sandriani merupakan tulang punggung keluarganya dan dengan kepergian Sandriani, dapat dipastikan keluarganya akan mangalami kesulitan dan rasa sedih yang luar biasa.

Bagi teman-teman terutama yang berada di Batam, saya menghimbau agar dapat mengulurkan bantuan kepada keluarga Sandriani. Sumbangan dapat diantar ke counter sumbangan yang terletak di kampus Universitas internasional Batam. Counter sumbangan akan dibuka selama 1 (satu) minggu. Dan bagi teman-teman juga diharapkan agar selalu waspada dan hati-hati terutama bila anda naik taxi gelap.

Creating a home network using Wi-Fi

You can create a small home / office network without using any access pooint or router. Not only like any peer-to-peer network uses NIC, but also Wi-Fi network can be done peer-to-peer by using the same method. And the connection speed will be far more faster.

The steps are :

1. Activating your Wi-Fi

The first and the utmost important step is preparing your wireless device and activating it. There are various way to activate wireless decives on computers. Some of it you need to press an activation button, and sme you need to activate it through a series of your operating system settings. To configure it on Microsoft Windows XP : Open your Control Panel, on the Wireless Network Connection icon,, right click it and choose Enable. If the Wireless Connection icon appear in the Taskbar, then the last step to do is to click the connect menu on it. Read the rest of this entry »

Don’t Whois my Domain

This morning, I took a walk to register.net.id , and wanted to change my profile. The reason is that I don’t want other people can have my personal information easily when they whois my web. As we know that regisrating an .id domain, they ask me to send them a scanned version of identity card (KTP), and the profile submited there must match the information on the identity card. SO, that’s kinda f*cking easy of information gathering for somebody else if i don’t change my profile after this domain approved xD~

When I intend to change my profile, I found out that they don’t have any XSS filter there. Maybe they think that all user all bound to be honest (hum..honest?? :P ). Nah, so now when anyone trying to whois my domain, he’ll get a present, so becareful :D
