Maybe not many people know about 1st Asian Beach Games 2008 which held in Bali, Indonesia. But, for me who are Balinese (but currently college in Surabaya), the Bali Asian Beach Games 2008 is a big event.

I don’t know why Bali is chosen to be the host for this Asian event since there are 6 other country that show their interest. Maybe the athlete also want to have a vacation in Bali since there are many places you can visit in Bali.

I already make a post about Bali Asian Beach Games 2008 in my website about Bali.

I didn’t realize that Google Translate now support Bahasa Indonesia – the Indonesia language – until i read from a forum. Well, i’m very delighted that there are Indonesian language in Google Translate. That means reader who don’t understand Indonesian also can read my post which I write in Indonesian.

But, looks like the translation is a little bit incorrect. Maybe this is not a mistake from Google Translate, maybe this is because of the Indonesian language itself. Why ? well, many Indonesian people write incorrect Indonesian. Indonesian people use slang language or stop words very often on their blog. And there are a lot of slang and stop words that has not been indexed by Google.

But, the Google Translate really useful. I use it for translating words. Sometime also translating sentences, but when the result is a little bit wrong, I just translate it word by word and rearrange it by myself. By the way, I’m suggesting a lot of better translation for Google Translate. For you who speak Indonesian, you better do that too, since it will improve the Google Translate ability to translate Indonesian into English.

Sometimes, i need to code in javascript when working on the web application. I’m not an expert in javascript. I can only code the simple javascript. And lately, i code more in javascript than in PHP. Why ? Well, it’s all related with web 2.0. You all may know that term. The term that invented by O’reilly. That’s is not a new programming language or something that really new. But it is a new way to develop a web.

Well, i’m not gonna talk about web 2.0, i’m going to talk about how much will i code in Javascript. Since the new project will be code more in Javascript. Of course there are also in PHP too. But, i have already learn PHP so it’s not that hard to code the PHP.

I have collect a view list about web/blog that list (list of list ?) a great resource where you can learn more about Javascript. Maybe you don’t need it if you are an experti in Javascript. But, i learn more from this list.

There are a new search engine on the net. The name is Cuil. Cuil is an old Irish word for knowledge. For knowledge, ask Cuil. On the website, Cuil said that Cuil searches more pages on the Web than anyone else—three times as many as Google and ten times as many as Microsoft. I don’t know whether this is true or not.

But, I’m preferred to search in scour than in Cuil. Since searching in scour, you can earn point and when you have enough point, you can change it with dollar.

Btw, this search engine have a really nice interfaces and fast loading website. I don’t whether this is my fast Internet connection or Cuil speed itself is fast. About the interfaces, the interfaces really good. The accordion panel on the right of search result makes me busy hover and hovering again to see the nice effect. Lately, I know that this effect using Mootools – a JavaScript framework.

There are a lot of Cuil features such as search result that can be categorized. Change cearch result layout whether using 2 column layout or 3 column layout. Nice tooltips. A tabbed category view. Search term suggestion.

Cuil’s technology was developed by a team with extensive history in search. The company is led by husband-and-wife team Tom Costello and Anna Patterson. Mr. Costello researched and developed search engines at Stanford University and IBM; Ms. Patterson is best known for her work at Google, where she was the architect of the company’s large search index and led a Web page ranking team. They refused to accept the limitations of current search technology and dedicated themselves to building a more comprehensive search engine. Together with Russell Power, Anna’s former colleague from Google, they founded Cuil to give users the opportunity to explore the Internet more fully and discover its true potential

Biasanya aku sering lupa sama halaman-halaman web. Untuk itu, supaya enggak lupa, aku bookmark halaman itu. Bookmarknya bisa kusimpen di Mozilla Firefox (browser favorit nih) atau di Del.icio.us. Tapi belakangan saya jadi jarang ngebookmark blog-blog hasil blogwalking.

Kenapa ? Karena mungkin sudah hampir ratusan blog yang sudah aku bookmark. Sudah aku golongkan di berbagai kategori pula. Tapi masih aja scrollnya tetep panjang. Nah lho gimana tuh ? …

Akhirnya aku backup bookmarknya … kemudian aku bersihkan lagi semua daftar bookmark di Mozilla Firefox .. kamudian add lagi situs-situs yang penting … dan kembali nge-blogwalking. Sekarang kalau bukan situs yang bersifat personal dan penting banget, aku akan book di del.icio.us aja .. Kenapa ? yah secara (aww pake kata secara) kalo di del.icio.us kan gak gak ngabisin harddisk, trus enak ada tagnya. Kapan nih Firefox pake tag, ga pake kategori. Ato klo tetep pake kategori, permudah user supaya  bisa memberi kategori lebih dari 1. Ntar deh aku email developernya (cieh, kayak kenal aja ) ..

Maw tau blog yang sudah aku bookmark bisa diliat di del.icio.us.

3 kata yang terjadi malam ini. Saya begadang maen game Warcraft sampai jam (skrng jam .. ) , sampai jam 3. Aww, gimana besok bisa bangun pagi ? kita lihat aja, apa bisa saya besok bangun pagi atau tidak.

Ada beberapa hal juga yg baru aku sadari. Soal internet di kontrakan. Ternyata kalau ada temen yang lagi maen game online, misal RF, trus ada yg lagi browsing maka yang maen game RF ini bakal lag – semacam hang gitu .

Detailnya gini, ada temen lagi maen Dota 2 orang, trus yg lagi 1 maen SEAL. Trus aku (yg sudah capek maen Dota karna kalah terus) akhirnya istirahat dan browsing-browsing supaya ngantuk trus tidur. Nah, setiap kali aku loading halaman maka temenku ni bakal teriak “lag, lag” mungkin mau kasi tau yg lagi download biar ga download kali. Tapi aku kan buka halaman bukan download …

Dari sana aku nyadar, besar banget bandwidth yang diperluin buat maen game ya. Sesuatu yg hanya untuk kesenangan aja ..

Setelah 3 hari di Surabaya (sabtu-senin) akhirnya mamaku balik ke Denpasar. Oiya aku belum cerita kalau sabtu kemarin adikku yang cewek, tiwit (begitu orang rumah memanggilnya) dateng ke Surabaya sama mamaku.

Ada acara apa mangnya ? si tiwit ni ikut tes masuk UNAIR lewat jalur prestasi. Setelah lolos seleksi pmdk (jujur aku gak ngerti birokrasinya gimana) akhirnya si tiwit ni bisa ikut tes masuk UNAIR. Pilihan pertama jatuh pada Fakultas Kedokteran trus kedua .. apa ya .. ilmu kesehatan masyarakat klo ga salah. Diantara 3 bersaudara, saya, tiwit, dan si komang …. tiwit ini yg paling bagus otaknya. Kalau otak saya … yah tau sendirilah … bisa naek kelas aja dah seneng … kalau si koming …. pinter cuma lebih keliatan malesnya.

Oiya, tiwit ni juga pernah ikut tes masuk di Universitas Udayana (UNUD), kalau di UNUD, semakin besar uang sumbangannya semakin besar peluang keterima .. yah biasalah .. kedokteran UNUD. Tau dari mana ? Yah, wong belum apa-apa yang harus kita jawab itu adalah ‘berapa besar nanti sumbangan pembangunan kalau keterima ?’ bukannya menjawab pertanyaan tes, malah jawab yg begituan.

Memang tidak heran, wong temen saya SMA (cewek) yang tidak berotak saja bisa masuk kedokteran unud, tapi memang dia orangnya super kaya raya. Dulu wkt sma, kerjaannya dugem, dandan, salon, gak pernah tau yg namanya buku pelajaran … mmmm … pulpen aja gak bawa (oiya dia selalu pinjem pulen di aku, gak pernah dibalikin) . Tapi berkat duit ortunya , bisa masuk UNUD.

Jujur ja, klo di Bali (daerah lain mungkin juga) urusan sogok menyogok (apalagi di kalangan pemerintah) memang sudah biasa. Jadi kalau sudah maenannya ke pemerintah, harus ada anggaran biaya sogok. Intinya, saya lebih yakin liat anak kedoteran UNUD pake speda motor daripada anak kedokteran UNUD bawa mobil .. kenapa ? kemungkinan besar yang pake mobil itu masuk pake duit. Gak di DO ? yah kalau mau di DO tinggal sogok lagi biar ga jadi di DO. Benarkah itu ? yah, itu rahasia umum kaleee.

Kembali ke adikku, si tiwit. Mama pulang tapi tiwit tetep disini untuk menunggu pengumuman hasil tes. Kan bisa diliat di internet ? memang sih, tapi pengen ja lihat-lihat univ lain di surabaya. Sekalian si tiwit ini menikmati fasilitas internet gratis yang di di kontrakanku hihihi … coba deh cek blognya dia di http://dwriting.blogspot.com

Aduh … belanja lagi belanja lagi. Sebenernya saya tuh tergolong orang yang sulit untuk keluar duit. Bahkan untuk diri saya sendiripun. Tapi entah kenapa … tadi saya malah beli tas untuk laptop saya.

Yah, memang selama ini sudah ada tas laptop, tapi itu tas bawaan dari beli. Jadi ya .. tau sendiri kan modelnya. Saya memang berencana untuk beli tas laptop, cuma itu bukan rencana yang harus cepat dilakukan. Tapi akhirnya tadi, begitu lihat harganya Rp 95.000 saya jadi tertarik karena model tasnya sangat sangat sesuai dengan yang saya idam-idamkan. Untuk ukuran tas laptop, harga sekian tergolong cukup murah lhoo.

Hahhh … entah bagaimana nasib saya melewati bulan ini dengan duit yang berkurang Rp 95.000 dari anggaran. Harus mengkalkulasi ulang anggaran nih …
