Baru baca sebagian buku “Kun Fayakun” karangan Ustadz Yusuf Mansur, gara2 dipinjami sebentar oleh bapak pemilik Warteg. Ada satu bagian yang sangat menyentuh hati saya, di halaman 108. Diceritakan bahwa kita tidak memiliki apa-apa. Mata bukan milik kita. Begitu pula tangan, hati, semua bagian tubuh dan juga harta yang kita miliki. Oh, jadi sedih, kalo…
SacredLearning.org is an Islamic web site Parama Danoesubroto recently shared with me which, among other useful materials, contains general talks by Shaykh Husain Abdul Sattar (as freely downloadable audios). Parama initially made me interested with a talk titled “Wisdom of Wealth” which is excellent. I begin to listen to the other talks. Actually I dutifully…
Just read a very interesting article from Wid Brilliant about Prophet Muhammad. It’s so good and “BLINK!” me a lot so I just had to make a copy here… Thanks a lot to Dedi Setiawan for introducing me the word “BLINK”, and Parama Danoesubroto for reminding me (again!) about this theme. Of course *BIG* Thanks…
Parama W. Danoesubroto, a friend of mine, recently shared a bit of his vast business-savviness. It’s great enough that I’d like to share it here, both with my future self and with you the cool person (yes! YOU) who read this blog. Extra-gladly he’s willing to license his ideas as Creative Commons (oh so geeky!)….

Inspiration: Lemmings, DNA, construction sites, Impossible Creatures. Definitions: Agents are actors that have less predictable behavior. Objects are actors than have predictive behavior. Both agents and objects are actors. Actors can…
Semantic Web is a technology family (or, a disparate set of sometimes non-related technologies) that allows computing applications to understand each other. It has the potential of transforming the way we do computing in the very near future… and power to make software developers’ lives easier. I’ve been having lots of random thoughts about how…
We recently upgraded a server from a Jetway P4M9AP motherboard to a Zotac N73V-AC7V, which is actually very good… except that they (the motherboard, NForce 610i chipset, NVidia GeForce 7050 integrated graphics adapter/VGA, sound) doesn’t work out of the box with our Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10. Fortunately, there is a solution: nForce 610i : audio and…
Baru-baru ini kami “mendapat” laptop alias notebook dengan model Axioo Neon TVR 856C. Tugas yang kami terima adalah, “si bos” mengharuskan laptop ini diinstall Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10. Sayangnya, laptop ini tidak dapat diinstall Ubuntu dengan “cara biasa.” Ah, sedikit petualangan nih, pikir saya… Sekedar petualangan ini ternyata berbuah puluhan kali restart, menunggu, googling, dan menggaruk2…
Ayat-ayat Cinta is an Indonesian movie about Fahri, a college student at Al-Azhar Islamic University, and his shortly portrayed but fruitful adventures in life and love. Along the way he’ll meet several pretty and not-so-pretty girls Maria, Aisha, Nurul, and Noura; and what’ll happen? Let’s just say that I think this is really a must…
