PlayBoy 2nd Edition

Today at lunch time Me with other QnAp members goes to Citra Land Mall, We are going to buy pizzas on Pizza Hut to celebrate Mr. Rohim's birthday and also Veronika's farewell party as She is leaving the company.

At Citra Land We pass by a book shop, in that book shop I saw a PlayBoy Indonesia 2nd edition. PlayBoy Indonesia had big protests from mainly Islamic organisations because They thought that it contains pornographic content. This protests make Me curious about PlayBoy's content, so I bought one.

After thumb thorough the pages, I didn't see any single naked woman's picture, of course it's disapointed Me :D hey... it's PlayBoy! it should contain at least one barely naked woman picture right??

The nudest picture I saw only a woman wearing bra and lingerie, that's all. I even saw that kind of picture on woman magazine - bra advertising. So what is the problem with those people who protest??

What make Me think is.. why only PlayBoy that being protested? what about other imported magazines or even local magazines that also had a woman pictures wearing only bra or bikini? There is alot of that kind magazine in the market..

Anyway I don't care about the protest. Now I want to reading PlayBoy's articles.

Last words: Happy birthday Mr. Rohim and farewell Veronika :)

Cleaning Server IP From Yahoo Blacklist

Two days ago I filling form on Yahoo abuse department website to ask Them to whitelist RevTI's server IP from Yahoo blacklist. Because the IP is blacklisted by Yahoo all email from RevTI server to Yahoo mail are delivered to Bulk Folder which have a big chance not being readed by the recepient.

I get a reply email with a quisionare that I must sent back to Yahoo, I fill it and sent it back to Yahoo. Today I got a notification email from Yahoo that They will do check on all email from RevTI's server to Yahoo mail.

I tried to send an email to My own Yahoo mail, it seems that RevTI's server IP is not blacklisted anymore, but Yahoo's checking still in progress I guess as I not yet receive Their confirmation that RevTI's server pass the checking.

Crossing My Fingers :)

1 Minute Free Call

A few days ago My friend Jose called Me from Netherland. He call Me using VoIP - Voice over Internet Protocol - which cost cheaper than if You make international call through landline phone.

This afternoon, I chat with Him and ask what VoIP company He used to call Me, and He said He is using VoIP Buster. I visit Their web site and found that I can make a phone call to Netherland's landline phone for FREE! :D

I was excited knowing that I can make a phone call to Netherland's landline phone for free. I downloaded the VoIP client, install it and try to call QnAp iT BV office in Netherland. It hooked up! I made a phone call to Netherland B-) Marc was the one who pickup the phone.

Although there is a delay on the call - which quite disturbing but I'm OK with it as I make a phone call in the afternoon when all peoples in the office use the Internet - but it quite clear voice call. But... there is always a 'but' on a 'free' things.. the 'free' call is only for 1 minute :(( if You want to continue talking You must buy a credit - Ain't free - or if You still doesn't want to pay a dime, just like Me :D You can call again and again and again, 1 minute each :))

I'm happy I can talk with Ferdy in Netherland. It's been 1 month after I return to Indonesia. I met Him first time in Bogor - Indonesia and start Our friendship when We are in Netherland. Good to hear You're OK Ferdy!

Find How To Record Sound in C#

This few days I've been searching for how to record sound in C#. After doing some searching on the Internet I found DirectX SDK. Unfortunately the documentation and example of DirectX SDK are writen in C/C++ which is diferrent with C# so I get confused on how to implement it in C#.

I'm still searching for an example on the Internet, I hope I can found one that give a good and easy example.

    It seems that I didn't go thoroughly on DirectX SDK installation directory as this morning I found an example of C# code for capturing/recording sound in '\Samples\Managed\DirectSound\CaptureSound' directory.

    Although the code not working correctly. I got some error when running it and the program can't capture sound, but I'm a little bit glad because at least I have an example.

Go Kart Race

Yesterday the PLN - Perusahaan Listrik Negara - or in English 'Goverment's Electricity Company' do maintenance on a electric box which needed the electricity to be shutted down for half day.

Because without electricity QnAppers can't work, so We decide to do company outfit. We decide to do go karting, We gather in the office at 13.00, but some of QnApper including Me already in the office from 08.00.

Actually I was planning to check My email first because the electricity will shutted down at 10.00 so I still have time to check email, but the server went down too.. it seems to have a problem with it's motherboard.

Anyway at 13.00 We go to the go kart circuit. It was light raining when We arrived so We must wait until the rain is stopped. Not for long the rain is stopped so We start go karting :D

It was very fun and exciting! We really racing each other. Although the go kart only run 35 - 40 Km/hour (approximately) but it was quite fast on a small circuit.

We do more than 5 sessions for each QnApper, each session are 6 minutes long which if You drive fast - to fast and to furious :D - You can do 5 or 6 laps.

Some of the go kart doesn't have good tires so it always slides when You turn in a corner with fast speed.

It was a much of fun company outfit :)) can't wait to do it again :p

Tsunami? Not Again!

This morning I got a bulk message via Yahoo Messenger from My friends, telling that there will be an earthquake and tsunami on 7th June.

It's obvious that the message are chain message, picking a great news channel CNN to make peoples believe the issue. I visit CNN website to find any news about it, but I can't find it.

A few minutes later My brother telling Me to see Detik.com an Indonesian news portal, there is an article that said it was an issue.

The issue make Me wonder, why people make fun of others disaster and make Them more frightened with the issues? Is it not enough for Them to have Their homes collapsed and Their familly members died?

X-Men 3

After Mission Impossible 3 and The Davinci Code here come X-Men 3. I watch X-Men 3 last evening, together with My brother and His girl friend.

As the previous X-Mens; in X-Men 3, Logan a.k.a Wolverine is the main character. I like Wolverine but I like Xavier more :D

I like Xavier because of His mutant power, telepathy. But sadly He is dead in the last episode of X-Men trilogy. He is killed by His student Jean Grey which have 2 personality, the bad side of Jean Grey which call Her self the Phoenix kill Professor X. Phoenix have a telekinesis power, She is a powerfull mutant, the most powerfull I think.

X-Men 3 is a good movie, better than Mission Impossible 3! Be sure You watch this movie :D
