All about manga!

I found a good article today about all different interesting manga out there.

And I found myself got carried away to re-live those good old time spending the whole day reading manga :D

I finished reading 12 manga today @_@
I guess thats a bit too much actually >.> but, well, I guess thats to repay my absence from reading manga these past few...weeks? xD

And that reminds me how my usual list of visited manga sites are gone with my ruby.
So here I'll write some links for manga sites I usually visited for my future reference:
http://stoptazmo.com/
http://shoujomagic.net/ --> mostly girly shoujo manga ;P
http://vnsharing.net--> the site is in vietnamese but you can get your hands around it easily for manga downloads
http://www.vimanga.ru/manga/
http://www.mangaworld.org/
http://www.omanga.net/
http://kotonoha.monkey-pirate.com/

I found some manga really have mature contents, not necessarily in the "H" meanings, but also in that they have mature topics: some might be so dark, weird, and abstract you get yourself confused. Still, not many succeeded to impress me though. I think I have to make some posts later about manga that touches me.

Daily program necessities!

Ok, this one is a rather geeky post.
After my ruby left me I am forced to make use of my working desktop optimally, not just as my unix workstation to which I connect from my ruby :P

And...turns out im sooo highly dependent on some programs. I just can't function without having them ready at my disposal first. So. I'd like to enlist them, also for my own need when later I have to set up my ruby part de deux ;P

Of course as a fake CS student I dont really know much abt these programs aside from merely their use which is relevant to my need. You should refer to J for more informations, plus he is my trusted source of information abt all these programs :P

1. Mozilla
This is the first and foremost because I need to use it to download other programs that I will need :P
Along with it, install the add ons :
  • Adblock plus ( J's suggestion)
  • Delicious ( still J's suggestion)
  • Pray time! (my own need, dont forget to set the alarm 10 mins before the prayer time. no, not to prepare to pray on time, rather to not miss the previous prayer xD)
2. AVG
Everyone needs an anti virus of course. This one is free and working great for me =]
Unlike that symantec one which always bugged me with updating process and taking soo much effort just to uninstall it completely @_@

3. Yahoo messenger (+ msn live messenger optionally)
It's of some utmost priority to be installed immediately because I need to bug J if I need to ask question abt what to install, how, etc xD
I started to use MSN too. They have the customizable emoticon feature that just made me much more expressive than in yahoo ;P

4. Putty
My works are involving programs that only works in unix system. Since I refuse to use all those unix kind as my main OS. I rely on Putty to connect to my unix workstations.

6. WinSCP
Still related with the previous I use this to transfer back and forth the files I manipulated in Windows to be executed in Unix.

7. TortoiseSVN
Working in a team which use SVN (almost the same with CVS back then) to collect the works and maintain the versioning I found this program is convenient for my windows oriented mindset ;P
J complained that it adds things to the right click though, which is correct, but *shrugs* o, well.

6. Ultra Edit (pirated) or PSPad
I love Ultra Edit! I make use of its macro well for my work. It's pirated though >.>
J is advocating me to do right and use free programs. And this PSPad comes quite as a nice replacement for UltraEdit.

7. Acrobat PDF (pirated) or Ghostscript + Ghostviewer
The thing I love most abt the pirated Acrobat is the commenting facility. Oh, how I love to scribble so many things on all my pdf files I read. It just doesnt feel that I really read it if I dont put at least some highlights in some lines, or some question mark in some sentences, or a not so short comment of my a ha! moment when I read that file.
It's pirated though... I have to resort to GS *sobs sobs*

8. Miktex + WinEdt (Pirated) or TexnicCenter
To work on LaTex files. TexnicCenter is decent, I have not used it long enough, but then WinEdt wasnt really good in particular either, so *shrugs*

9. Visio 2002 (pirated)
I just have to have it! I'm a pretty visual person, so I really like to draw some graphs illustrating my thoughts. And I just already get used to visio I get so irritated not finding it in a basic microsoft office setting.

10. Microsoft Excell
Somehow I just make use of it a lot. And no, the one from Open Office could not replace it.

11. VMWare
So I can have another OS running along with my Windows. J suggested this. I haven't tried it yet but I suppose when I really make use of it I can delete Putty and WinSCP from my topmost lists ;P

The rest of the list would be some not really necessary stuff"
11. CDisplay
To read comics xD

12. Xming
To be able to display some GUI from my remote terminal.

13. go to pixelgirlpresents
Ok this is not a program ;P but I love myself a nice looking wallpaper, and thats the ultimate source for it :D

Hmmm...what else...I guess I'll add my list when I remember them along the way. Whats your daily program necessity ?

Random light thought abt ayat2 cinta

*ini tadinya di draft kan karena setelah dilihat2 isinya rada jahat gitu, ngga gitu fair. bagus2nya ni buku ngga dibilang. tapi berhubung ternyata ada yg udah ngeh duluan ;P ya sudahlah di publish lagi dulu aja, dilengkapinnya kapan2 ;P*

ngga, gw ngga mo ngulas ni buku :p

cuma tadi kepikiran aja,

kan komen orang yg dtulis dsitu banyak tu yg bilang pngen dapet suami kaya fahri.
kok klo gw ga gitu suka ya karakternya si fahri ini?

mnurut gw karakternya rada tinggi hati, gitu. ngga begitu rendah hati lah *redundan banget bo*
(tentang status dia yg S2 al azhar, berguru di syaikh Utsman; ttg harusnya cewenya yg bilang suka ma dia *duh!*, etc)
kadang-kadang kaya ngga genuine, ngga tulus.
("saya cuma ingin dia merasa senang. tak lebih") -->or something like that.
dalam nyampein pendapat/dakwahnya kadang2 ngga halus
(karena gw orang jawa kali ya ;P)

kesimpulan gw pribadi aja sih dari yg tersirat.
I guess this is good, the character isnt perfect the way human is never perfect in real life ;)
tp, ya, intinya bukan tipe cowo gw lah ;P

somehow gw jg sebel ada beberapa salah kata serapan, editornya kok ga teliti.
(but im being anal in general abt this, so not really the editor's fault i guess)
yg gw inget kaya : "Mom, please take my seat" kata si Aisha di tram.
heh? emang doski nyokap elu?
gw rasa sih harusnya "Ma'am" kali ya maksudnya?
ato di mesir biasa manggil Mom ke sembarang ibu ibu yg ditemui di jalan mungkin ya?
trus ada istilah asing yg bikin gw "huh?" juga karena kayanya dia pikir spellingnya gitu padahal bukan (bukan sekedar typo maksudnya, tp ini gw lupa apa)
trus bahasa jermannya kok rada janggal ya?
diksinya ngga begitu umum gitu.

but maybe its just me being sirik, nyari2 kesalahan orang *shrugs* :p
overall its a good book to read anyway =]

disclaimer:
komen ini ditulis dengan asal, kutipan2nya ditulis seinget saya aja jadi mungkin beda ma yg asli :p

Procrastinating : lite on politics

Posting ini bukan tentang apa itu procrastinating; posting ini ada karena gw sedang berprocrastinating ;P
(itu serapan dan penggunaan imbuhan yang baik dan benar bukan, ya? xD)

Light thoughts abt politics:

1. Abis baca judul provokatip di detik "Kyai Berdoa Hancurkan Sigid"

Kirain Sigid tu apaan, jenis rudal yang ngancem bakal ngancurin Indonesia gitu, ato singkatan nama virus berbahaya (temennya SARS? Severe Immune Gigantic I.... --> dilanjutkan kalo dah ada ide), ato benda apa kek yang sebegitu bahayanya bakal merusak harkat hidup orang banyak ampe kyai2 pada berdoanya rame2.

Eh, taunya itu nama orang! Astaghfirullahhaladzim.

Ya, Allah, mana doanya serem bener, disama2in sama peristiwa di surat Al-Fiil @_@

Gw tau lah orang indonesia suka aneh, tapi kalo kaya gitu udah kebangetan banget banget banget, tau ga sih.

Dimana2 setau gw juga ga ada ceritanya Nabi Muhammad SAW nyontohin ngedoain jelek ke orang laen kaya gitu.

Its....sooo.......
erghhh...ewww...eww....ewww
im speechless.

Gw ga pngen sok teu apa2, gw jg gak pengen khotbah apa2, cuma gw bener bener amat sangat sangat terganggu denger orang make sarana doa untuk hal kaya gitu.

Dari dulu gw emang udah 'nek sih sama politik, jadi mungkin gw emang rada bias. Tapi plis deh, cuma gonjang ganjing satu partai politik disamain ama pasukan gajah nyerang Mekkah yang sampe masuk Al-Qur'an? *sigh*

May Allah SWT be with us all and bless our politicians, may all of us always be in the right and straight path.

Masih ada yg laen sih, kaya itu tu khas indonesia banget ngga sih ngambinghitamin satu orang. tapi itu masih minor lah...

2. Obama kayanya bakal menang dari Hillary ya ;D

Waa, seneng, deh. Soalnya sebelumnya kayanya ga mungkin gitu dari Democrats bakal keluar Obama yg notabene bukan kulit putih :D

tapi liat ntar deh...semoga aja ntar ngga kalah ya dari McCainnya Republicans. Denger2 kebijakan McCainnya ini serem2 T_T

Tapi denger dari temen2 yg US, pemilu mereka ini bener2 hot topic buat semua orang disana. Jadi semoga aja yg ngevote taun ini bakal bener2 aware dengan pilihan mereka.
Hope US will really change!

3. I wuv Angela Merkel xD

hihihi, sebenernya daku ngga gitu2 perhatian amat sih ma politik Deutschland. Tapi....angela merkel itu imut banget pas piala dunia 06! xD

Doski (oopss...ganti apa ni vel?;P) tu yang semangat banget loncat2, berbinar-binar dan tepuk2 tangan tiap lagi liat tim Deutschland maen!
hihihi, kaya anak kecil gitu, padahal kan dia tu presiden xD

Dan kemaren ini dia ngumumin bahwa dia ga bakal ngedatengin pembukaan olimpiade di Cina. Shes the first.
Respekt.

Gw ngga begitu baca2 banget sih ttg Cina vs Tibet, tapi dari yg gw tau, kok kayanya Cina kebangetan gitu. (Reinkarnasi hanya seizin pemerintah Cina, what the ...?)

So, yea, i wuv angela xD
