Pimpinan musik indie label Indonesia?

Ada yang punya kontaknya?
Proteksi file DLL Microsoft
Sunday, April 16th, 2006
Ternyata Microsoft Windows memiliki proteksi untuk menjaga file DLL-nya dari perubahaan yang tidak sah (misalnya dilakukan oleh virus atau trojan horse). Proteksi ini menggunakan konsep digital signature, dimana checksumnya diletakkan di tempat lain sehingga DLL yang diubat tidak dapat ditanda-tangan ulang (secara tidak sah, tentunya). Masih belum jelas bagi saya apakah maksud dari "di tempat lain" itu masih lokal di komputer yang sama atau di jaringan. Mestinya sih di jaringan ya? Akan tetapi jika demikian, bagaimana mekanisme pengecekan bagi komputer yang off-line.

Slashdot | Microsoft Bypasses HOSTS File
Sunday, April 16th, 2006
Apparently, Microsoft software, such as its anti-malware tools, does not look at HOSTS file. This is done so that malware cannot redirect windows update to fake sites, for example. But many people thought that this is the wrong approach (and useless).

Belajar Antri
Sunday, April 16th, 2006Salah satu “kebiasaan Barat?” yang melekat di saya adalah kebiasaan antri. Entah kenapa di Indonesia ini orang tidak bisa antri. Padahal dengan antri proses (pembelian tiket, masuk ke ruangan, dan pelayanan lain) bisa berjalan dengan lebih tertib dan cepat. Mungkin karena orang yang antri melihat bahwa menyerobot dibiarkan, tidak dihukum? Lantas mengapa saya harus antri? Begitu alur berpikirnya, mungkin?
Tadi siang kami naik pesawat (dari Batam ke Bandung). Sebelum masuk ke pesawat instruksinya sudah jelas; “Sekarang kami mempersilahkan penumpang baris ke 15 sampai dengan ke 26 untuk masuk pesawat.” Semua orang lantas berbondong-bondong, termasuk baris sebelum 15! Petugas bandara marah dan meminta orang yang belum gilirannya untuk minggir dulu. Mereka, yang berada di baris sebelum baris ke 15 dan tetap mau duluan ini, seperti tidak merasa bersalah! Aneh juga.
Nampaknya kebiasaan antri ini harus diajarkan sejak kecil. Bagaimana pendapat Anda?
Tim Indonesia Raya masuk 100 besar dnetc
Thursday, April 13th, 2006
Akhirnya tim "Indonesia Raya" berhasil menembus 100 besar OGR-25 di distributed.net
Silahkan lihat http://stats.distributed.net dan pilih statistik OGR-25. Tampilkan statistik 100 besar, nanti di bagian bawah terlihat tim Indonesia Raya. Horeee. Makan-makan?
Hanya, sekarang di beberapa mesin kami, dnetc bikin gara-gara CPU panas. Akhirnya terpaksa dimatikan. Hik hik hik.

You were slower compared to MSN space. So I posted an entry in my account at MSN spaces (http://spaces.msn.com/budirahardjo/) instead.
Reliability of blog services (again!)
Monday, April 10th, 2006I was going to update my blog at wordpress.com but could not login. It said "408 Request Timeout ...". I had to contact their admin for it. Okay, I will do that later.
Then I wanted to access my multiply.com account. What do you know? They were down for maintanance. Okay. I then started two concurrent sessions to this blog and AOL journals. I will post to whichever faster to respon. Lo and behold, this blog came up faster. So I posted an entry here.
In my other blog(s) I have complained about the reliability of blog services. I understand that they are (mostly) free services, but it does not mean that people do not depend on it. Maybe I am too demanding, but when you have to write ... you gotta write. Otherwise, the mood is not there, the idea is gone, and whose fault is it?
There is a beautiful example of this. I was part of modblog.com addicts. I posted regular at my account there. Then it happened. The server(s) down for more than 2 weeks. The users had it. We all moved to efx2.com. So, now you'll find blog addicts from modblog at their new addresses in efx2.com (which has served me better!). I post regularly at budi.efx2.com.
We will see if this hickup(s) is happening to MSN.
