Silence Please!!
It start to giving Me a headache.. that damn sounds, musics, vocals.. etc. I really need silence so I can work peacefuly.
It begin when all people at second floor of QnAp office - except Me - watch the Fast and the Furious movie, They like it very much and then search for it's OST on bittorrent. They found it! and next they play it. The music mainly a trance / house music which I didn't really like it. Well if only play it for once or two times it's OK for Me because some of the music is quite good, but one person play it again and again and again and if he/she stopped the other person play another music which make the room always full of music and so 'noisy'.
Broken Notebook’s Keyboard
Three days ago when I turn on My Notebook Compaq Presario V2000 I heard a long 'biiip..' sound, it's very strange as it never happen before. It's sound like the memory module are not pluged in correctly but I also suspect that there is something wrong with the keyboard as My notebook had a problem with 'J' key some times ago but suddenly it never happen again, so I thought it's already fixed.
The Fast and The Furious Tokyo Drift
Last saturday I met with one of My best friend, Willy Suryajaya, We make appointment to meet at Plasa Senayan to watch a new movie The Fast and The Furious Tokyo Drift.
We had a lunch before We watch the movie and talk stories about our self, it's been a long time We didn't have a good long conversation. I left Jogjakarta about 8 months ago to work at QnAp Asia in Jakarta and after that We are busy with Our job.
I know Willy since high school and We are a best friend, I know His family quite well. I have been helping His father to maintain the computer software for Their Factory Outlet.
After finishing lunch We go to the cinema and watch the movie. The Fast and The Furious is a good movie, it's about car racing but not like the first movie, Tokyo Drift as like on it's title is mainly about drifting. Drifting is a technique of driving car that slide the rear of the car to turn on sharp corner while maintaining the speed and get the inside racing line. On motorcycle racing it's called 'sliding'.
No cars without woman 
Tokyo Drift really a pleasure for boys.. good movie, good cars, good music - although if I play it on and on it will give Me a headache - and ofcourse beautiful chicks 
alot of beautiful and sexy Japanese girls on this movie
After the movie finished, Me and Willy do some tour de malls as there is 3 malls that very near each other. We then go back to Willy's place and watch DVDs.. hehe.. alot of movies I watch that day

Jazzy Moments
It has been two days I stay longer than usual days before, just to enjoy Jazz music 
It's a Jazzy moment!
Two days ago I pick up an unused active speaker in the training room of QnAp Asia office and put it right below My desk now I have a more better speaker then My notebook's speaker, so listening music are more enjoyable.
I turn on Winamp MP3 player which also has capability to receive Internet Radio Streaming which on Winamp it's called Shoutcast Radio, I select "Jazz" on the selection menu and Winamp will list all Internet Radio that currently broadcast Jazz music.
Why I stay longer in the office? there is two main reasons:
- The Internet connection in the office is slow if I use the internet in working hours, as the connection are shared with other software engineers. So when everybody already return to Their home I can use all the bandwidth and the streaming radio is not lagging
- The only person in QnAp Asia that like Jazz is only Me and the Big Boss so I only can enjoy Jazz with the active speaker only when everybody has return to Their home, so I didn't disturb Them with music They dislike.
Despite that I'm alone in the office, but I very enjoying the Jazzy moment, it's so quiet and peacefull.. It's only Me and the Jazz music.. that's why I call it 'Jazzy moment'

Review MSI M630 Notebook
After a couple days using new notebook from QnAp office, I can give some comments on this new MSI M630 notebook.
First impression this notebook looks good, it has Wireless LAN, 15" Widescreen and a DVD Writer! but not for long those features doesn't compared with it's ugly keyboard interface and the air cooler output position.
Here is the bad things with this notebook that You should not buy it:
- It have a bad keyboard, You need to type like You are using old typing machines! press it softly, then no character come out in the screen.
- The 'Fn' key position are in the most bottom left, which I consider as a stupid design because on normal keyboard 'Ctrl' key are in the most bottom left which make most of computer user get use to it - including Me.
- The left 'Shift' key are not in "normal" size because MSI add some unused key '\' next to it, another stupidity in keyboard design.
- The air cooller output is on the right side just next to Your hand when You using Your mouse - if You are a right handed. I consider this as very stupid, because most people are right handed and using mouse when They using Their notebook. If You using the notebook for a long time, You'll start feeling hot on Your hand.
Personally, I don't like this notebook, but I need the widescreen because it's more comfortable when I writing code using MS Visual Studio.

Lunch Break and Meeting With Client
Today not much work I done, I just continuing installing softwares on the new notebooks as I'm not finished yet yesterday. Then on the afternoon Big Boss Ki take all the software engineer to Plaza Senayan, We had lunch there with collegues from another company, it seem They are Ki's friends.
After lunch Ki ask Me and Budi to go to Jakarta Covention Center to meet with a prospected client just to know each other and give Them a proposal. We stay on the JCC for about 2 hours and then go back to the office after We give the proposal.
When We are heading to the office, We almost forgot that there is 'Three in One' rules on the street We want to go. Because We are only two person in the car so We decide to take other way.
We arrived in the office at 17.30 so We just packup and go home

Opera 9 Released
Being fan of Opera browser I'm satisfied with the new release. On this new release Opera has changed it's way of saving a web page, now it separate the images to separate folder instead of combine it with the HTML page. By separating images with the HTML file it make Me easier in managing web page that I save from the Internet.
Another new feature from version 9 are widget and thumbnail preview on tabs. With Opera widget You can install widgets which is an eyes catching add-on, I don't use widget at this moment as I think it makes My screen crowded. The thumbnail preview on tabs is quite usefull, You just mouse over on a tab and You will get a thumbnail image of current website on that tab.
You can see the screenshot of Opera 9 here.

RevTI Server’s IP Blacklisted by SpamHaus SBL
Just a couple days after I submit a form to Yahoo abuse to clean RevTI server's IP which it seems Yahoo already whitelist the IP, today I found out that SpamHaus SBL also blacklist RevTI server.
Actually it's not RevTI server's IP that being blacklisted, but SpamHaus SBL blacklist all the IP block, so innocent IPs - including RevTI server's IP - also being blacklisted.
I already contacted the Datacenter regarding this problem, hopefully They can solve this problem as they are who managed the IP block

I check on SpamHaus website and found out that RevTI server's IP already whitelisted, I'm so happy
