Nigerian scam, Kenya version

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

Shoot enough bullet, you’ll hit at least one gullible person. Too bad I’m not gullible enough :P . Found this e-mail on Evolution inbox, I could immediately recognized it as Nigerian scam variant.

Copy-pasted as is, including spelling and grammar error

My dear,
Honestly I am glad that you honour my mail,how are you today? My name is Anita Kipkalya Kone,from Kenya 24 years old and a daughter of the former Kenyan road minister late Mr Kipkalya Kones who died on Tuesday 10th June 2008 along the Cessna 210 plane crash which was heading to Kericho in a remote area called Kajong’a, in western Kenya as You can read more on the crash below:

Although this mail might comes to you as a surprise because we haven’t met,please consider it as a divine wish and accept me with a deep sense of humanity,I believe you will look into my condition and listen to my cry and consider me to be like your own sister or close friend. Ernestly i am writing this mail with tears and sorrow from my heart due to the condition i find myself after the passing away of my parent and nothwithstanding the whole tragic feel i was mallested and rejected without any cause simply because my mum had died earlier and we are polygamous family. Thereafter the funeral of my dad,my stepmother and my uncle with their african mentality conspired and sold off my father’s properties worth milions of dollar to an italian expertrate and shared the money among themselves living almost nothing for me.
One faithful morning as i tried to open my father’s briefcase,i found an important documents with which he had deposited some money in my name as the next of kin at the African development bank,Burkina Faso. I travelled down to Burkina Faso to withdraw some of the money but the Bank Director whom I met in person highlited me on my father’s instruction to the bank concerning the money and how it should be withdrawn that only on the account that i am married or i should present to the bank an honest and worthy trustee who will assist me in reclaiming the fund and transfer it into his account for an investment as i finish up my education. In my search for a reliable person i have found you a man i can count on. I believe that you will not betray my trust on you but rather take me as your own sister or close friend because right now i am suffering terrible here in Burkina faso in the refugee camp as i have no body to rescue me from this strange situation in a foreign land.
I have chosen to contact you after my prayers and i was convinced that you will be the true one to rescue me from this trouble,I have the money confirmed in the bank $7.2 million in their records as unclaimed bill in my father account and i have the death certifictae and the deposit certificate of the fund stating as proof of my geneuity. I shall compensate you with 30% of the whole money in as much as you could help me make the transfer of this money into your account successfully. I wait upon your positive response showing your interest and ability to carry out this transaction and in the light of the above i shall appreciate your urgent message indicating your willingness to help me with all your mind to achieve this successfully. Thanks and God bless you as i look forward to seeing your reply.

Anita Kipkalya

Tell me your secrets and ask me your questions

Other than Viva La Vida, The Scientist is one of Coldplay’s songs that I really like :) .

Come up to meet you, tell you I’m sorry
You don’t know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart

Tell me your secrets and ask me your questions
Oh, let’s go back to the start
Running in circles, coming up tails
Heads on a science apart

Nobody said it was easy
It’s such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh, take me back to the start

I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart
Questions of science, science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart

But tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start
Running in circles, chasing our tails
Coming back as we are

Nobody said it was easy
Oh, it’s such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard
I’m going back to the start

Be grateful of your health

Ketika postingan ini ditulis, kondisi saya sebenarnya agak kurang sehat. Batuk-batuk, bersin-bersin, badan ngilu. Walaupun nafsu makan jadi bertambah, tapi tidak bisa merasakan kelezatan makanan.

Tapi ada hikmahnya juga kalau lagi sakit begini. Saya jadi semakin meyakini, bahwa suatu sehat adalah sebuah nikmat, anugerah, aset. Sayang sekali kalau di saat sehat kita justru tidak produktif.

Duh, pengen cepat-cepat kembali ke kondisi fit. *hatsyiii*

Do you know
that you’re special, unique?

An emerald among pearls,
a jasmine between rose shrubs,
the Spica on Virgo?

I wish it true, that I’ve observed you well

Menyisipkan “random text” di website berbasis WordPress

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

Kalau Anda berkunjung ke blog saya yang baru, di bagian sidebar Anda akan melihat lirik lagu yang ditampilkan secara acak. Kalau kebetulan Anda mempunyai domain sendiri dan menggunakan WordPress, Anda juga bisa menyisipkannya ke website/blog Anda. Postingan kali ini akan menunjukkan bagaimana caranya.

Pertama, install terlebih dahulu plugin php-code-widget. Plugin ini akan menambahkan kemampuan parsing skrip PHP pada widget Text.

php-code-widget plugin

Tarik widget PHP Code ke sidebar, lalu isi dengan skrip berikut

PHP Code widget

Menyisipkan kode

<?php
/**
* @package Hello_Dolly
* @author Matt Mullenweg
* @version 1.5.1
*/
/*
Plugin Name: Hello Dolly
Plugin URI: http://wordpress.org/#

Customized
*/

function customSongsLyric_get_lyric() {
$lyrics = "I'm waiting patiently, I'll wait for the sign (Muse - Exo Politic)
Terang saja aku merindunya, karena dia, karena dia begitu indah (Padi - Begitu Indah)";
/* cuma beri contoh dua baris lirik saja, bisa ditambah sesuka Anda */

// Here we split it into lines
$lyrics = explode("\n", $lyrics);

// And then randomly choose a line
return ($lyrics[ mt_rand(0, count($lyrics) - 1) ] );
}

$chosen = customSongsLyric_get_lyric();
echo "$chosen";
?>

Beres. Hasilnya jadi seperti ini.

Random text

Tentu saja Anda dapat mengganti lirik dengan quotation, puisi atau rayuan gombal :D . Atau malah menyisipkannya di tiap akhir postingan (kalau yang ini anda tidak perlu install plugin php-code-widget, cukup menyisipkan skrip di atas ke berkas page.php di folder theme)

PS. Ya, saya hanya menggunakan skrip Hello Dolly yang sudah dimodifikasi. Penjelasan skripnya lain kali saja ya :wink:
