About nuri

Hi, i am Nuri. Just another IT guy working on fintech and telco at Jakarta, Indonesia. While tech stuff became my daily breakfast, i also love to travel around the globe and taking photos also. I DJ on my spare time while dealing with any mess my 9 cats made at home :)

State of Fear

It happen that right now i’m reading Michael Crichton’s “State of Fear” while stuck at home by the rain.
Saw on the news that China still struggle with mass transportation problem caused by a worst snow storm in last decade. It’s chaos because millions and millions of Chinese people are now on “mudik” tradition for celebrating chinese new year with the family back home.
Jakarta is submerging, samething happen at Pasuruan and Bengawan Solo line (again). Landslide on Aceh kills at least 8 people.
Switch channel. Naked Science pick a very good topic, Big Freeze. What is it? Ever watch a movie called “The Day After Tomorrow”? It worse and it’s happening. Let say Montreal on 1998 as an example.
What a coincident, it all has the same big picture. Extremes in climate variability seem to be the cause of weather changes dramatically, unstable and less predictable. Global warming, environmental destruction. All end up in anger of mother nature. All because of us. Greed of the human kind, suck the planet resources like vampire suck its victims.
Yes, that day is coming. Sooner than we thought.

Jakarta underwater

An overnight rain has put Jakarta into ‘chaos’ today. Flood everywhere. It reaches 90cm or more in some area.
International airport has been closed down. Flights are either delayed, cancel or rerouted. No trains available.
“Serahkan pada ahlinya”? Yea right.
It’s just a big f bullshit. Jakarta has too many “ahli”, but the only expert they have is just …. Talking :p NATO, no action talk only. Some of them even talking nonsense and sell concepts which are rubbish. And it’s happening for years.
Mr.President, it’s time to move the capital city. Our 1st president has also came up with this idea like decades ago. But if you still like to swim during flood, not feeling humiliated for having underwater capital city, then whatever.

Boys of Summer

Nobody on the road
Nobody on the beach
I feel it in the air
The summer’s out of reach
Empty lake, empty streets
The sun goes down alone
I’m drivin’ by your house
Though I know you’re not at home

I can see you-!!
Your brown skin shinin’ in the sun
You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

I never will forget those nights
I wonder if it was a dream
Remember how you made me crazy?
Remember how I made you scream
Now I don’t understand what happened to our love
But baby when I get you back
I’m gonna show you what I’m made of

I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin’ in the sun
I see you walkin’ real slow and you’re smilin’ at everyone
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

Out on the road today, I saw a BLACK FLAG sticker on a Cadillac
A little voice inside my head said, “Don’t look back. You can never look back.”
I thought I knew what love was
What did I know?
Those days are gone forever
I should just let them go but-

I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin’ in the sun
You got that top pulled down and that radio on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin’ in the sun
You got that hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on, baby
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

Me, Blogger and Multiply

If blogging is considered as writing an online journal, then I’ve started years ago since I knew how to build a webpage using HTML. Thanks to geocities 🙂 It was on geocities.com/heartland/ranch/some_number_i_couldnt_remember 😛 Then i made several sites again at bravenet and some other free webhosting providers. Due to my tight schedule @the office, I have no much time to play with web designing for my own self. Then on 2004 I continued blogging using blogger.com.

Well, blogger.com (kidy.blogspot.com) actually provide me more than enough to do simple blogging. It has a dashboard which is easy to navigate, archives, I can change the layout, BloggerAPI. I also joined multiply (nuykidy.multiply.com), which is also offering me a blog service. What I felt as disadvantages using Blogger.com (and Multiply) were space. I have to put all my files, images, scripts, css for my layout somewhere else out of the blogger.com. It could be tricked acutally for images, but still it didn’s satisfy me. Furthermore when I started developing a modul that enable me to submit a post via SMS & MMS (using BloggerAPI and later change to AtomAPI).

SMS Scam

I got this &*%@! SMS on my cellphone today.

And this *&T@)) idiot put "Pengirim: +777" in the last line of the message. What the ….. *sigh*

So, be carefull with these numbers:

Sender +6281331505231, from provider Telkomsel

0899-3333-442, 0899-3333-441 are from Hutchison CP Telecom/Three

If any of you, your family or friends got this kind of SMS, just forget it. It’s a scam. Usually operators will contact you by phone, formal letter, and put announcement on local/national newspaper + their website. If you’re still not sure, contact the official callcenter. And the callcenter numbers are not cellphone number. 

Telkomsel’s call center: 0807-1-811-811 or Medan (061 – 457 8811), Jakarta (021 – 5291 9811), Bandung  (022 – 415 0811), Surabaya (031 – 730 1811) (website, ya ya ya i know it’s so slow)
Hutchison/Three call center:  0896-4-4000-123 (website)
