Surat Yusuf

"Loh, kok Al Baqarah sih!!"
"..."
"Harusnya kan surat Yusuf"
"Eh? Tadi kan sudah"
"Al Baqarah kan sapi betina"


"Tadi sudah..."
"Masak aqiqah baca sapi betina"
"hm, emang kenapa?"
"Harusnya surat Yusuf, biar ganteng seperti nabi Yusuf"
"Hidup seperti nabi Yusuf?"
"Iya, jadi..."
"nGgak mau!!!"
"Loh kenapa? Nabi Yusuf tampan lho"
"Mungkin, tapi justru gara-gara ketampanannya dia diceburkan ke dalam sumur saat kecil oleh saudara-saudaranya yang iri, dijebak oleh Siti Zulaikha saat dewasa, apa enaknya?"

iPad 1 Mirorring without Cydia's DisplayOut on iOS 4.3.3


Many of iPad 1 owner rely on Cydia's DisplayOut app for mirorring their display device on LCD or projector. However, althought just few, some had problem with iPad Dock to VGA connector to get worked with it.
Some experienced a blank display when using VGA connector. It's weird because if we enable 'dotting', and touch iPad display, the dot appear on projector. Maybe that's minor issue when we want a iPad mirror using DisplayOut but we have an alternative (thanks to MacStories). This method can be applied on iOS 4.3.3.
Assumming we could SSH-ing our Ipad, we must navigate to system/library/coreservices/springboard.app. Edit files K48AP.plist (I'm using VIM for iPad), Add lines under with 
display-mirorring
save the change, restart the devices, pray, attach VGA connector, wait n see. :)
Of course we don't have to use VIM editor, we could just download K48AP.plist and edit it with our favorite text editor or plist editor.

Goyang Asolole


Obat hati ada lima perkaranya
ya thoyiba...
Lir ilir lir ilir tandure wus sumilir 
tak ijo royo-royo...

Syair-syair tersebut akhir-akhir ini sering saya dengar di acara-acara pernikahan. Bergema di acara-acara pernikahan. Karena banyak yang menikah di bulan haji kemarin, maka semakin gatal-lah telinga saya tiap dengar lagu-lagu tersebut diputar. Eh...?


Yeah, kita tahu format lagu-lagu populer di hajatan saat ini adalah "Dangdut Koplo Asolole". Entah berasal dari mana kata yang terakhir itu namun yang jelas nama tersebut mewakili jenis musik dangdut dengan irama kendang/ketipung yang "itu itu saja" dengan beat/ropel berdasarkan mood tukang ketipung tanpa menghiraukan itu saat jeda atau bukan. 

Hasilnya adalah berpuluh-puluh lagu dengan irama yang sama, bahkan jika anda berkaraoke, anda bisa berkaraoke menggunakan lirik lagu manapun. Satu lagu tanpa vokal bisa digunakan untuk berkaraoke beberapa lirik lagu, fiuh... 

Bukan hanya itu, sang musisi panggung bahkan bertindak lebih jauh dengan menambahkan seruan-seruan spontan yang mungkin memang cocok dalam situasi panggung namun kadang sangat tidak cocok dengan lagu yang sedang dimainkan. 

sekedar contoh seruan yang cocok

iwak peyek sego tiwul (yiiiiaahh...)
wis tuwek blablabla mentul (haahhaa...)


yang aneh

Obat hati ada lima perkaranya (yiaah)
yang pertama baca qur'an  (hya..hya)
yang kedua sholat malam (goyang titik joss) perbanyaklah

atau 

lir ilir tandure wis sumilir (hiya-hiya..)

dan diakhir lagu (baik gembira maupun sedih) selalu ada tambahan seruan

ciat ciaaaat ciiiiiiaaaaaah....

DropBox as iCloud-like Cloud

iCloud coming this fall bringing cloud computing capability to OS X Lion and iOS 5. So Mac user and iDevice (iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad) always have their data synced among their device.


I have a Macbook and an iPad. Unfortunately its OS is still old Snow Leopard and iOS 4.3.3 respectively. I tried to register at icloud.com but maybe apple had "track record" of my device because it ask me to upgrade my mac. Hm, I wonder why Windows Vista, an old released OS, is supported while 2009 released Snow Leopard is not.

Rumors is spread that Apple will bring iCloud capability to Snow Leopard through next 10.6.9 update. While it's good to be true, I've had applied cloud solution slightly longer than apple do, using Dropbox.

Using Dropbox, we can sync files on multiple device. Dropbox upload a file to Dropbox server and then the devices, with Dropbox client installed, compare file version in its local Dropbox folder.

Dropbox is also able to sync via LAN, resulting a faster sync.

Dropbox is available at appstore as free apps.

iPad as Display Remote Device from Anywhere using iTeleport

We're already know we could access display of computer from other computer using software like VNC, provided we can "reach directly" that computer over network.


If we're using free hotspot or LAN network behind NAT, there is no problem about it, however, if remote display behind NAT it's likely we can't access our remote display easily.

Fortunately, for iPad user, there is iTeleport, an apps used for remote display client. It's act as common remote display through LAN but it's not just that. iTeleport has capability to remote a computer display from anywhere in the world (with internet acces, of course) through gmail connection.

iTeleport

One minor issue is keyboard. From screenshot, it's obvious that my mac use dvorak layout, however my ipad keyboard is still presenting QWERTZ keyboard; the result is gibberish character output if we type using default floating keyboard as is. Can be solved by setting back mac keyboard to QWERTZ.

iTeleport can be obtained at iTunes store. Here excerpt description from AppStore.

Teleport yourself to your computer from anywhere in the world. With its intuitive and patent-pending interface, iTeleport gives you full control of your computer's mouse and keyboard, and provides a rich visual display of your computer screens, without any screen resolution limit....

iPad Mirroring

Yeah, as we know, iPad2 have video mirroring feature using its HDMI cable whereas we, iPad user, stuck with "keynote only" VGA adapter, but there is alternative.


There are app designed to mirorring at iPad named DisplayOut. This app, as mentioned by its name, bring mirroring capability on iPad.

DisplayOut is available to purchase at Cydia. Available at Cydia means your iPad must already jailbroken.

I don't really know if this app work with iPad dock to VGA adapter as I didn't purchase it yet. But if you googling, you'll find there is problem with VGA adapter; it just give black screen. AV component seems have no problem though.

Jailbreaking is legal (at least in US) despite its voided warranty, so it's worth to try this app.

Berdamai dengan Blogger

Ada yang aneh saat saya mengunjungi dashboard blogger untuk mengedit kesalahan ketik pada beberapa posting. Ada semacam notifikasi yang menyarankan saya untuk mengupgrade template. Hm, emang kenapa dengan template lama saya? Namun penasaran juga akhirnya sehingga saya meng-klik tab template dan wow....

Halaman template sudah sangat berubah, wuih. Ada tawaran untuk merubah ke template dynamic view, artinya pengunjung bisa memilih sendiri format blog saat membaca blog saya; bisa model classic, magazine, ... . Ternyata blog saya tidak mau berubah ke format ini. Lah, lha terus kenapa haru upgrade template kalo gak boleh memilih template yang terupgrade? Eh, tapi ada 'learn more', hm, lihat dulu.

Ternyata untuk dapat menggunakan template dynamic view saya harus mengubah RSS feed dari 'few' menjadi 'full', OK. Nah, sudah bisa memakai template view namun, untuk jaga-jaga, saya full-backup dulu template yang lama.

Ternyata template dynamic view memang lumayan bagus. Pengguna bisa memilih tampilan blog saat mengunjungi blok kita. Namun saya kurang cocok karena tidak ada yang mendekati template lama saya yang memiliki side bar berisi macam-macam.

Akhirnya saya kembali ke template lama saya.
Masalahnya, saya terlanjur melihat dan menyukai fitur-fitur di template yang baru. Pikir-pikir sebentar, akhirnya coba template baru, memberi kesempatan untuk kemajuan, :).

Masalah baru. Saya berusaha agar template yang baru memiliki tampilan seperti template lama saya. Saya menghias template lama saya dengan mengedit CSS namun saya tidak bisa melakukannya dengan template yang baru. Alhasil, sayay gagal membuat template yang baru memiliki cita-rasa template saya yang lama.

Konyol. Akhirnya saya kembali lagi ke template lama. Berusaha agar fitur template yang baru bisa saya terapkan di template lama saya. Setelah googling agak lama, akhirnya ketemu juga caranya.

Teenyata ini adalah pekerjaan yang 'tedious', uh.

Nyerah, pakai template baru tapi bukan yang dynamic. Sambil berusaha pelan-pelan mengembalikan cita rasa lama.
