Setting Nokia 2115i as Modem

I bought Nokia 2115i several months ago. I bought it because I want to use Fren as my mobile phone service provider. Fren currently have a promotion of cheap phone call between Fren users, it cost me around Rp. 1.400/hour which is very cheap.

Another benefit of using Fren is I can access Internet for Rp. 5/KB, which is the cheapest price for volume based Internet connection compared with other mobile phone service provider.

Opera 9.02

I download Opera browser version 9.02 two days ago and have time to install it yesterday. From a quick glance, there is not much different between this version and the previous version Opera 9.01 in the features side.

The main difference that I notice is that Opera 9.02 now fully supports Yahoo Mail Beta and GMail. Although user experience when using Yahoo Mail Beta is still not satisfying. Opera run very slow when opening Yahoo Mail Beta and sometimes clicking on buttons inside the Yahoo Mail Beta doesn’t work or work very slow. Looks like Yahoo Mail Beta is too heavy to be opened. GMail works well now in Opera 9.02 this is what I like :)

Foxit PDF Reader

On this post I’ll talk about PDF reader. The most well known PDF reader of course is Adobe Reader, but I’m a little bit dislike it because it’s bulky and quite slows.

Sometimes ago my friend David give me a free software that he found in the Internet. It’s called Foxit Reader.

After playing it for hours, today I finished playing Need for Speed: Most Wanted. Most Wanted is a street racing game. I like this game until I play it almost everyday after I finish working.

Most wanted have a story line that you – gamers – as the main character. At the beginning of the game there is a short movie which telling that you are racing with blacklist #1: Razor. You’re being cheated by Razor so you lose the race and you car is taken by Razor.

Crystal Report’s Failed To Load Report

I spend half time of today’s working hours just to do some research on how to solve a problem that happen on software that currently being worked by other team. The software that they currently do is having problem when it’s being run on Microsoft Windows 98. It producing an error that nobody knows what is the cause.

At first we suspect that Crystal Report is causing the problem because some Windows XP that also having the same problem can be fixed by installing Crystal Report component from Visual Studio .NET 2003 installation CDs. But it’s not the case for Windows 98. I can’t install the Crystal Report component from Visual Studio installation CDs, I even can’t run the setup program :(

Advertising Junk

Got a phone call this afternoon, it’s from sales person of Celebrity Fitness. She tried to advertise seven days fitness for free. She said that she got my phone number from one of my friend – she also tells me the name of my friend.

I really don’t like this kind of advertising, it’s really disturbing me. Phone number, although it’s not a private thing, I don’t like to receive calls from strangers just to listen them trying to sell their product which I don’t have interest in it.

Stream Ripper As Winamp Plug-in

On my previous post I write about Stream Ripper 32, standalone streaming ripping software. On this post I’ll write about Stream Ripper as Winamp plug-in.

SR as Winamp plug-in has the same feature with the standalone version but I think it’s easier in using it. The installation is easy, not much you need to setup. SR will integrate with Winamp seamlessly.
