Movie Review: Disturbia

My Rating: 8 of 10

After his father's death, Kale becomes sullen, withdrawn, and troubled -- so much so that he finds himself under a court-ordered sentence of house arrest. His mother, Julie, works night and day to support herself and her son, only to be met with indifference and lethargy …

The Cheapest Internet Provider Now Available: FastNet from FIRST Media

This is not an advertising post, just my great pleasure to let you know if you haven't read newspaper couple days ago. Internet Cable now available to Greater Jakarta region at a very low price. Rp 99,000 monthly subscription fee with unlimited access and up to 384 kbps is a very hot offer. Challenging Telkom Speedy should be done on this way, right? Unlimited download is on the way :)

Probably the company name is not familiar enough, but FIRST Media is a new company setup by Lippo Group, previously named as PT Broadband Multimedia Tbk, which offered KabelVision and Digital1 cable tv and internet service to home using Hybrid Coaxial Fiber Cable. All existing setup and infrastructure will be managed by this company. So if you are asking about reability, just ask to some friends who are subsribing to KabelVision or Digital1 internet. My friend who have been subscribing to Digital1doesn't have any major issue regarding reability of service. Existing Digital1 users are directly subscribed to 768 kbps package.

Read Offline Wikipedia from Mobile Phone

Sometime I wish to have a mobile encyclopedia walking beside me wherever I go. Currently because I subscribe to mobile internet broadband, that wish is temporarily abandoned because I can open wikipedia directly from Opera Mobile Browser or by visiting ~~wapedia.com~~ http://wapedia.mobi which is mobile friendly. And …

Jogging Track Planned on Kelapa Gading

Last week I went to Kelapa Gading Mall for some purposes. On my way home, I passed boulevard circle between East Boulevard and West Boulevard, just noticed that one corner in East Boulevard had been blocked and had a sign telling "Jogging Track is coming soon". It will be built by Summarecon and Local Government. No information about when it will open for public.

Shake Your MacBook

I know that MacBook Pro has shock sensor installed in the laptop, but just got stunned that my MacBook has it too (maybe I haven't learned all the features so far). This morning I found an small application that can detect and simulate MacBook orientation. LiquidMac is a freeware which …

A Trip to Papua New Guinea

I had implementation project in PNG on early July, then I started to pack things for this. Visa Request has been approved (Rp 1,500,000 for this stamp), and Jakarta to PNG tickets have been issued. Do you know the ticket price? USD 1600 for CGK-SIN-POM-LAE and trip back again.

Flight from Singapore to Port Moresby took 6 hours and 30 minutes. It was a night flight and I thought I could sleep well in the plane but apparently I couldn't. Sitting in economy class was exhausting, legs couldn't move freely and sadly I sat on the middle. So my advise is you should ask for aisle for long flight. Just slept intermittently every 1 hour because the flight attendances offered meals and drink and blanket. The interesting thing was we were shown flight animation including speed and altitude. Finally I knew that my plane flew at 860 km/h at 10000 m altitude and outside temperature is -40 celcius degrees. That's way the cabin pressure and humidity must be maintained.
Arriving in Port Moresby International Airport, I thought it was near the harbour city, but by reading the map I knew that I had landed 7 miles outside city. Still have to wait for 6 hours before next flight.. really boring waiting in departure lounge.

Inside the plane, packed with most of local people (and interestingly wore sandals), 45 minutes flight was not to long compared to my previous flight. Finally arrived at airport without automatic running rubber for baggage. All stuffs just threw from truck to arrival area. Lae/Nadzab International Airport is 30 minutes away from city center.

Cool Transformers

It's a special day in any young man's life when he gets his first car. The day gets all the more special when it turns out it's not a car at all, but a robot in disguise. Luckily for Sam Witwicky, his new ride is …

Notes: This article's Indonesian translation available at Teknolagi.

Telkomsel has just launched new campaign called Telkomsel You've Got Mail. I call it as campaign because the promo was not a new thing. Basically Telkomsel provides mobile email client program (J2ME Java-based) for customer that can POP3 or IMAP from any …
