Where is my widget file...

I had been try to modify this blog design many days ago, and I made a backup for it including design and widget. Sadly I'm forget where I save it, oh God, I haven't the other.

Now, may be I have to start it from the beginning, looking for the everything I need.

Backup data

I had lost my data for many times, and now I don't want it happen to me again. Data is something very precious for me. If I lost it, oh my God... dont't ever and never it happen again...
It is the big reason why I burned all of my data into DVD+R. So if the data in computer is erased or lost (and can't be recovered), then I have the copy, something simple but important.

The power of kepepet

Last night my friend who studies in Padjajaran University came to me, he told me about his new business and he also gave me a book which have title “The Power of Kepepet” that have been bought. From the title it is looked like a freak book, what kind of book is it…

After my friend told me about his new business, then he asked me a help him for showing him a potential places for making a marketing near my place. I guided him along the street, seeing left right of street. We have not found the right place yet, but he still has the plan to spread his business near my places.

After we had been finished making an “observation”, then he decided to go home.

A moment after he gone, I was looking at the book given to me. “What kind of book is this?” Actually I knew it, but the title makes me still vexed. First I looked up the cover then I read from the most beginning page and to the next. What surprised I was! After preface page there is a closing page, this is naked style. It is looked freak but I do like it!! The closing is not the general or common closing but inside it the writer wanted his reader to close the bad memories. Do you understand what I mean? Yup, you are right. Before readers read the next page, writer wants to close their bad memories so it is the reason why he put the closing page off there. Looked from the style, it is not normal, but if I look at the sentences, there is a deep meaning.

The book is absolutely crazy and I take up my hate for this. The contents make me imagine clearly and concrete, because this book explain and talking about real actions. I’m satisfied of theory and what I need know are real action.

The point of this book is the writer said that establishing sense of urgency is the first step to begin in making a change and urgent condition is the biggest motivation resource. Just for example, what will you do if there is a lion that will hit you and you are dropped by a 3m wall, off course you will not think twice whether must you climb/ jump across the wall or not. In the normal condition may be you can’t do it but in such condition it is possible.

Thank you my friend for the book… Thank you very much.

DANGER: Wrong example diagram in my UML book module.

When I was studying UML Diagrams using my module, there was something which made me to think twice and I was asking by myself; “Is this true, false or just incomplete?” Then I try to analyze and imagine about implementation of that diagram. Then I was sure that if this diagram is implemented in real life, it will be danger. Absolutely.

Now take a look at the picture below,

this is the example of Activity diagram in my UML book module. This is the activity diagram of customers of a bank to take their money on ATM. After the customers inserts ATM card then customer asked by machine to enter PIN. Then PIN will be validate, if customer enter the wrong PIN then the machine asked to enter it again, otherwise customer can continue to the transaction menus. There is wrong flow on the pictures (mistake?), the wrong flow I blocked using red color. Now keep your eyes on the red block. When the customer enters amount of money to be taken, there are no validation between current account and the amount that will be taken. If this diagram implemented in real project, it will be very dangerous. What will be happen is, the customers can take amount of money as they want. Just imagine, said that I have $500 in my account and then I take more than it, for example I take $1 00.000 , based on the diagram above I can do this, off course it hasn’t to be allowed. It must be forbidden by ATM machine. So the diagram have to implement validation which check between the amount of money will be taken and the current account, by implementing this validation the customers will be forbidden if they take the amount of money greater than their current account.

Although it is an example, but I think it’s is very important to be understood for the beginner.

Someone cheating me, but…

In the afternoon when I was in my class I got SMS which said,

You've got a voice mail from 0857xxxxxxxx. To hear it press *123*5*1*2*4*0857xxxxxxxx# Then press Yes or OK.

(I have translate it in English, the original SMS message is in Bahasa)

At the firs time I read this message I didn’t believe to this message. The problem is, why I had to check my voice mail using such way, even though I can check my voice mail using voice mail number such as 355 which used by my cellular operator.

Finally I try to find out something which wanted by sender,

first I press *123# OK,
then 5 OK,
1 OK,

When I was on the last number (but not the last step), I found that this step is a step which make user able to access point plusplus. And the next step, pressing

2 OK,
4 OK,

Is used to exchange point plusplus with SIM charge balance and then it will be transferred to the destination number.

Finally it was known that the sender of that SMS want to get my point plusplus which then will be exchanged with something (eg. SIM charge balance). Sadly, the sender couldn’t cheating me. :p

My friend's FS account was hacked.

Yesterday my friend said that his Friendster account has been hacked.
Of course this is bad news for me. I don't know how his account was hacked

but he said that the last time he loged in to his Friendster account -- he used his own laptop. And he didn't let someone borrow his laptop.

One thing which make me surprised is -- the shout out of his friendster
is writen text "If you want your FS account back, call this number xxxxxxx".
If we read this sentence, as if there are something to be wanted.

The case like this usually happen when someone use the public computer
such as in internet cafe and he/she forget to clear the private data. It
can be happened on our own computer too of course, if we forget to 
clear our private data and then someone use our computer. In the

exthreme case it can be happened if someone spying us via network connection.

So be carefull whatever you do, for the security -- paranoid is good.

Unupdated?

Not updated?

So long I don’t update my blog, and at this time I just try to make it up to date again. Many people say that blog is just like Tamagochi, it means we have to play it periodically, we can’t play it as want as we can. And now I try to play Tamagochi by its rule.
No matter how long I had not update it, for now I just want to give my blog a ‘new soul’. Just wait it… :D

Just a picture.
By the way to make a variation of contents on my blog, here I have my own photo which had modified using GIMP. What do you think about this? Is it funny, freak, nothing special or what? :D
