Just like last year (and previous years, I suppose), The Boston Globe is putting Ramadhan-themed photos on the Big Picture.
one of the photos posted on The Big Picture
Gotta say, last year photos were better than this year, but that’s just my personal opinion. Besides, it’s always fun to see and to know how other Moslems on the world going through Ramadhan.

Yesterday, I happened to notice something really weird on my Ombilin machine. Each time I logged in, there’s this “ipconfig” process that consumes one of CPU cores usage up to 99%.
IIRC, ipconfig is a Windows program. So what’s it doing on a Linux box?
When I was logging in to this blog this morning, I noticed there’s an update notification. WordPress 3.0.1 is available for update. Unfortunately, automatic update is failed, as the memory alocation is exhausted. It seems I had to update it manually.
But that can wait. For now, I’m changing the theme from default Twentyten to Fusion, available at wordpress.org. Aside of looking neat, there’s no special reason why I choose this theme.
It doesn’t need Compiz, got minimal resource usage, no-OpenGL mode, and has several nifty widgets. It’s essentially giving you flashy stuff without sacrificing performance.
What else you could ask? 
After installing python-gtkhtml2 from Karmic repository, now I can install Lekhonee on my netbook. Don’t really have to install it from source, I just have to fetch it’s .deb packages from repository.
Lekhonee is still as simple as when I used it on Blankon Nanggar. At least it worked well. It fetch categories I used on this blog, and I can put tags too. gnome-blog didn’t offer those features.
I hope Lekhonee would get more features on the future, such as ability to save local draft and more formatting option (code, blockquote, etc).

Blogging client untuk WordPress yang biasa saya gunakan di Linux adalah Lekhonee. Walau sederhana, tapi cukuplah untuk kebutuhan saya. Sayangnya, Lekhonee tidak bisa langsung diinstall di Ubuntu 10.04, karena belum tersedianya dependensi python-gtkhtml2 di repositori resmi.
Solusinya mudah saja, cukup ambil dan install paket python-gtkhtml dari repositori Ubuntu 9.10, baru install Lekhonee.
wget http://kambing.vlsm.org/ubuntu/pool/main/g/gnome-python-extras/python-gtkhtml2_2.25.3-3ubuntu1_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i python-gtkhtml2_2.25.3-3ubuntu1_i386.deb
sudo apt-get install lekhonee
Lekhonee from repo can’t be installed on Lucid, and I’m feeling lazy to build it from source. So I’m trying gnome-blog. The interface even more simple than Lekhonee (and I thought Lekhonee is dull)
I noticed something funny yesterday (for me at least). I just realized that “Be Yourself” by Audioslave was the only song that has zero playcount on Rhythmbox, even though it’s been weeks since I installed Lucid and God knows how many times it plays “Human Beings” by Van Halen over and over. It’s rather surprising that there’s a song that hasn’t been played yet despite the playlist is quite short (about 158 songs). Guess that’s what you’d expect from shuffle mode, but still…
Speaking about “Be Yourself”, I think it’s the only necessary mantra to get yourself alienated from the crowd. People tend to expect you to dress the same, behave the same, speak the same, and or think the same like them before they would accept you tho the group. To be yourself means being different to the rest of the group, and that’s a no-no.
But what am I kidding? We are social beings to begin with, so to submit to the peer pressure is only inevitable. Even if it’s feel bitter :P

Hmm, it’s scanlations gotta be lying somewhere ’round the Internet….

My netbook webcam doesn’t work properly on BlankOn Nanggar. It can capture images, but it will be displayed upside down. After several hours googling, I finally get some sure workaround to solve this problem.
*Try holding your computer upside-down*. Dead simple, no? :)
Well, it’s not like I badly need to use the webcam. But I do hope it’ll be fixed on the next BlankOn release. Maybe it’s already fixed on Ubuntu 10.04.
