Manfaat Cincau (Grass Jelly) bagi Kesehatan

Pada posting sebelumnya saya sempat membahas tentang Yeo’s Grass Jelly Drink alias Minuman Cincau. Saya jadi tertarik, apa benar sih kata teman saya bahwa cincau itu baik bagi kesehatan. Kalo iya, apa saja manfaatnya? Sedikit tanya2 sama om Google menghasilkan beberapa “penemuan baru” yang cukup “signifikan” 🙂 Sebuah artikel di situs Himpunan Alumni IPB, Bogor…

Google Picasa: Best Photo & Image Management Application for Linux

I hope to have said otherwise, but in my opinion the best image/photo management software for Linux is Google’s Picasa. If you haven’t known yet that Picasa is available for Linux, well so did I. It was surprising for me, but I was really glad when I found out about this. F-Spot and DigiKam is…
