This 3rd movie of Death Note was very nice. I really like the story, of how the great L spent his last 23 days in his life. The only weak point of the movie was, no surprising strategy involved! Unlike the first and second movie where interesting and shocking strategy done by Kira or L, in this movie no such thing. But like i said, still a nice movie. Made me think, what I would do if I only have 23 days left in my life. Made me think, what I can do to change this world even for a little thing. Made me realize, that I am still no one.

I really really really really like the last scene before credits in this movie, where L walked towards the sunset

No matter how gifted you are, you can not change the world alone

Bahasa Indonesia:

Mulai sekarang, di blog ini bakal ada gambar tanda2/sign yang ada di Jepang sini, di jalan, di gedung, dll beserta penjelasannya. Siapa tau berguna buat yang mau belajar bahasa Jepang, ato yang mau kesini jadi dah tau arti tanda2/tulisan2 yang ada di tempat2 umum.

English:

From now on, I will try to post pictures and explanation of signs in Japan’s streets, buildings, etc. I hope it can be useful for anyone who wants to study japanese or anyone who’s planning to come here so that you can understand the meaning of the signs on public places.

日本語：

これから、このブログに日本の道か建物などでのサインについて投稿します。日本語を勉強したい人に役に立ちますように。それで日本に来たい人も役に立ちますように。

First sign!

漢字(kanji)：　指定車を除く

読み方(yomikata=cara baca/how to read)：　していしゃをのぞく

意味(imi=arti/meaning)： 指定 = mendaftar, menentukan (reservation,assignment,designation) 車 =  mobil, kendaraan (vehicle) 除く = terkecuali, menghapus (exclude, except). 指定車 =  kendaraan yang telah ditentukan (designated/specified vehicle). だから、このサインは「No Entry Except For Designated Vehicles」と言う意味です。

PS: Anyone who understands Japanese, if i made mistake, please kindly correct my Japanese, thank you. 間違いがあれば直してください。ありがとうございます。

Yatta! My first matsuri in Japan!! 大阪大学外国語学部の夏祭り! Although it was raining a little, still so much fun! I could take so many pictures with my new “baby”, the EOS Kiss X2 At the end of the day, I realized I had no pictures of myself in that matsuri, but it’s ok, still a very nice day

Finally the time to return “the free” emobile modem came So I applied for a new one and bought the i-thought-to-be-the-same-modem. It was the same shape usb modem. But when I got back home and used it, my Mint could not detect the modem. It detected the modem as mass storage device. Looked at the modem carefully, it was different! It’s a new version. Ossa’s modem was D01HW, while the new one is D02HW

By “uname -a” I found that my Mint was using kernel 2.6.22-14-generic. So hoping to be able to use the modem, I upgraded my kernel to 2.6.22.15-generic. Well it worked, from “dmesg” I noticed that my Mint could detect the modem and attached the device to ttyUSB0.

[ 9606.768000] usb 4-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 4
[ 9606.928000] usb 4-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
[ 9606.932000] option 4-1:1.0: GSM modem (1-port) converter detected
[ 9606.932000] usb 4-1: GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to ttyUSB0

But i still could not connect to the internet, it still returned “Modem is not responding” From the fabulous Mr. Google Japan, I bumped to this site. I followed the instruction and executed the following:

sudo modprobe -r uhci_hcd
sudo modprobe uhci_hcd

Then i plugged in again the modem, and from “dmesg” I got:

[10245.856000] usb 4-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2
[10246.016000] usb 4-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
[10246.020000] option 4-1:1.0: GSM modem (1-port) converter detected
[10246.020000] usb 4-1: GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to ttyUSB0
[10246.024000] option 4-1:1.1: GSM modem (1-port) converter detected
[10246.024000] usb 4-1: GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to ttyUSB1
[10246.024000] option 4-1:1.2: GSM modem (1-port) converter detected
[10246.024000] usb 4-1: GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to ttyUSB2

I opened gnomeppp, set the configuration to:

username: em
password: em
phone number: *99***1#
Deveice: /dev/ttyUSB0
Type: USB Modem
Speed: 460800
Phone Line: tone
Volume: High
InitString: init2=>ATH0E1

And it worked!　よかった!

上のビデオは私の日本語で初めての発表です。三分だけけれど、大変で緊張した。しかし、とても楽しかったです　:)。次は、修了の発表を頑張ります!!

Pantas saja Jepang menjadi negara maju. 1 hari = 25 jam.. sugoi!

四月五日に花見を初めてみました。インドネシアの友達といしょにばんぱくきねんこえんに花を見たことがあります。ばんぱくきねんこえんでたいようのとがあります。たいようのとは大阪の象徴です。花はとてもきれいでした。桜はすばらしかったです。たのしかったです。でも、よるにとてもさむいですから、体はちょっとよくなかったです。すぎつぎのさくらときは花をみましょう。こんどの春にさくらをたのしみにしています。

Ternyata gosip bahwa internet di jepang kenceng banget itu benar adanya.

Itu speed ke server di yokohama. Ini kalo ke server di new york

Yang ini ke server di london:

senangnya,,tp itu internet kampus,bukan em mobile yang saya pakai seperti pada post sebelumnya.

baru sadar, my previous post was 100th post!!

If you:

1. are in Japan
2. wants to have mobile internet connection using your notebook
3. have ubuntu (or linux in general, particularly Linux Mint Daryna) on your notebook

then you can try EM Mobile. If the sales promotion guy/girl said that EM Mobile can only be used on Windows Japan, IGNORE IT! Then,

1. Get the Huawei D01HW USB Modem from EM Mobile.
2. Plug the USB Modem to your USB Port on your notebook
3. Open command line, execute dmesg, check if the modem is detected, and find where it is attached to, usually it would be /dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/ttyUSB1
4. Open GnomePPP and Configure it.
5. Use the modem device (/dev/ttyXXXX)
6. Use username: em and password: em
7. Connect

If you’re in the coverage of em mobile, then you should be able to connect to the internet.

–my first post in Japan

thanks to ossa for the modem

I knew it, OpenBSD is sooooo not user-friendly. Installing and running Apache, PHP, and MySQL on it is such a pain in the ass. Here are some problems I encountered and the solution when I installed AMP on OpenBSD 4.2:

1.  When I installed MySQL using pkg_add mysql, the installation stopped with error can not find some libraries such as intl3.0. I found out that this errors were caused by the unmatched version of my OpenBSD and the package. I checked my system using “uname -a” and it showed that the version I used was OpenBSD 4.2-current. While the packages in the port tree is for the stable one. So you can do two things to fix this: 1. Install MySQL using port. 2. You search the library in your system that has the same name but different version with the one that is considered missing, then you link them using: “ln -s /usr/lib/somelibrary.42.so /usr/lib/somelibrary.needed-version.so”. For example, “ln -s /usr/local/lib/intl4.0.so /usr/local/lib/intl3.0.so”. (Note: it’s just an example, I forgot what library was missing :p )
2. PhpMyAdmin can not connect to MySQL server even though all setting is right. Solution: Make sure your MySQL server is running, then try changing ‘localhost’ to ‘127.0.0.1′ in <PhpMyAdmin_directory>/config.inc.php.
3. Error in PhpMyAdmin something about blowfish. Solution: fill the value of  ” $cfg['blowfish_secret'] = ‘<WHAT_EVER_YOU_LIKE>’;” in <PhpMyAdmin_directory>/config.inc.php.
4. Can not run cgi-script even though you have followed all directions you got from apache documentation. It keeps giving me errors: Premature end of script headers and Can not found the script. This could be cause by several things such as wrong syntax in cgi-script, uncomplete path, or Windows line-end (there is a different between line end in Windows system and Unix system), look for it on google to find more information I have tried all the solutions but still didn’t work. But then I found out one more thing that can cause that error: My apache was running on chroot mode. So all you have to do is run apache without chroot mode using: “httpd -u”. Or, if you want you could try this or recompile the apache like this to run cgi-script under chroot mode. This f**king chroot has driven me crazy (pardon my language, it’s just that this goddamn chroot had wasted my precious holiday time)

Note: Someday I’ll edit this post again to mention the real complete error log
