Joint the Programme!
Finally, the nail has been hit into Joint Programme's Coffin. The third batch of Joint Programme has been officially aborted. The link and page for Joint Programme has been missing from MST website. So much for billions of Rupiahs have been spent. Not one side in this program is completely satisfied. The commissioners, stakeholders, participants (especially), and supporting sides is somewhat
Why Should I Write About You?
It's been forty days since my father's gone. Such a moment to commemorate, yet I can't find the gut to write about it. Twelve years in handicapped status, constantly deteriorated, sometimes I think death has just knocked on the door. It's only a matter of time. My father's sickness was really stressing, even depressing not only for him but also the entire family. How can you write about something so depressing, watching someone close to you slowly degrade into the end of the line in such a long and painful way anyone could ever imagined?
Ironically, I don't have much to say about my father when he's alive. Yes, he's been a very good father and a role model for us, but there's not much left out of it. All I can remember is how he took education very seriously, how he was angry when I blew my midterm grade back in high school, how he's always there when we got into college. My father himself visited me in Bandung all the way from Semarang by regular bus!.That was right before the stroke comes and destroys anything good in him. I remember taking his hand to the mosque every Friday. We had to come very early so that we can take a special place in the mosque before it got occupied by someone else.
The last two years were the most depressing times after he was completely incapable to move or assisted to move. He was also completely lost his ability to communicate in any way. It makes both sides frustrated, and made us can only think of the worst possibility that might happens.
And now that my father's gone, we still learn to live without him. My mother still finds it difficult to sleep getting accustomed to keep an eye on my father every night. My father left a hole, an empty space that used to fill this house up, even in his condition. Now this house feels so vacant, I cannot imagine how we can solve this dilemma. The way we lived revolves around him, and we have to determine a new course now, and so far is not yet determined. That's something that not many people understand, when all they care about is irritating me and my brother about our spouses-to-be and our aging state.

No More Free Ubuntu CDs?
Akhir bulan Oktober ini sesuai dengan jadwal, Ubuntu versi 9.10 (Karmic Koala) akan dirilis. Seperti biasa pula, Penulis mengantisipasi dengan melakukan pemesanan CD ke ShipIt. Namun, berbeda dengan rilis-rilis sebelumnya, kali ini upaya Penulis memesan CD mengalami hambatan, dan pemesanan CD Ubuntu versi 9.10 pun gagal. Hari ini saat Penulis mencoba lagi, pesan kegagalan [...]
a-ha…Kami pun Bubar!
Setelah grup musik Toto membubarkan diri, satu lagi band era 80-an, a-ha, mengumumkan pembubaran dirinya pada tanggal 15 Oktober 2009. Trio asal Norwegia yang dibentuk tahun 1982 ini melejit lewat hit Take on Me, yang menduduki posisi puncak di Amerika di tahun 1985. Video musiknya yang menggunakan teknik animasi “sketsa pensil” ini sempat menguasai MTV [...]
Why Should I Cry for You?
Selain Fields of Gold, ini adalah lagu Sting favorit Penulis. Sebagai bagian dari album The Soul Cages (1990) yang bertemakan kematian (ayah Sting meninggal sebelum pembuatan album ini), Why Should I Cry for You? merupakan lagu pertama yang ditulis pada sesi The Soul Cages dan banyak menggunakan metafora tentang pelayaran untuk melukiskan kesepian dan penderitaan.

Yeah, We're All Eliminated!
It seems that I'm all mistaken. Turns out that we all are scraps of this program. Nothing good seems to come out. The best of us are wasted, the rest of us are hopeless. There's no way we can win. A joint program is supposed to be a collaborative work that includes more than one side. But in the end, what's left is a name, a jargon. without followup. I don't need the degree nor the certificate, it's all just papers. I've had all I got to survive this life. But the rest of my friends in this program need them so much. They have sacrificed much, time, effort, enthusiasm, and passion.They are more than deserve their recognitions. Now it seems that every piece of this program has a mind of their own about it. This is not joint program after all, this is not even a program. This is a reality show where nobody wins. Yeah, we're all eliminated!

Jerman yang Bukan Jejer Kauman (10)

Akhir pekan ini telah memasuki bulan Ramadan 1430 H, maka Penulis pun berketetapan untuk tidak melakukan kegiatan ke luar kota Karlsruhe dan lebih berkonsentrasi untuk menjalani ibadah puasa dan mempersiapkan kepulangan ke tanah air.

East-Timor
Pecinta musik lebih mengenal Morten Harket sebagai vokalis grup asal Norwegia a-ha, yang pada tahun 1985 mencetak hit Take on Me dan The Sun Always Shines on TV. Grup ini masih cukup populer di Indonesia sampai tahun 1993 dengan hit-hit seperti I’ve Been Losing You, The Living Daylight, Stay on These Roads, dan Crying in [...]
Jerman yang Bukan Jejer Kauman (9): a.k.a. Prancis yang Bukan Prapatan Ciamis
Kali ini, jalan-jalan terakhir sebelum bulan puasa dilakukan ke Strasbourg, sebuah kota di dekat perbatasan Jerman-Prancis. Karena Strasbourg termasuk dalam wilayah negara Prancis, maka judul tulisan ini menjadi agak spesial (panjang dan maksa). Untuk mencapai Strasbourg dari Karlsruhe dibutuhkan waktu sekitar 64 menit (sekali ganti kereta di Appenweir) dan tiket khusus €2/orang sekali jalan, untuk [...]
Auto Super GRUB Disk: Memperbaiki Boot Loader Linux setelah Instalasi Ulang Windows
Bagi mereka yang mengonfigurasikan komputernya dengan dual-boot Windows dan Linux hampir pasti pernah mengalamai masalah saat harus menginstalasi ulang Windows. Karena Windows tidak mengenali partisi Linux secara native, maka boot loader Windows akan menimpa boot loader milik LInux (GRUB/Lilo), sehingga partisi Linux tidak dapat di-boot. Berbagai pemecahan yang selama ini ditawarkan hampir seluruhnya melibatkan bootdisk/CD [...]
Jerman yang Bukan Jejer Kauman (8)
Akhir pekan kali ini mungkin yang paling datar daripada sebelumnya. Hari Sabtu kembali dihabiskan di Flohmarkt Berufsakademie. Bedanya, kalau minggu lalu berakhir tanpa hasil, kali ini kami harus berjuang menahan diri untuk tidak menghabiskan seluruh uang di kantong. Hari Minggu akhirnya dihabiskan untuk beristirahat di rumah sekaligus menunda rencana menunjungi Strasbourg. Hari Senin sore kami [...]
Lima Artis Penyanyi yang Dilupakan Jangan
Mana yang dipilih antara mempunyai karier pendek yang mengesankan dengan karier panjang tapi biasa-biasa saja? Di dunia hiburan, khususnya dunia musik, persaingan antarartis penyanyi sangat ketat dan sangat memungkinkan satu artis yang hari ini sangat terkenal dan melahirkan banyak hit dalam waktu beberapa tahun kemudain sudah tidak terdengar lagi. Untuk sebuah grup band yang di [...]
Burung Merak itu Telah Terbang
Baru saja kita dikejutkan dengan meninggalnya Mbah Surip, dua hari kemudian kita kehilangan lagi sosok seniman (yang jauh lebih) besar, Willibrordus Surendra Broto alias Wahyu Sulaiman Rendra, yang dikenal dengan WS Rendra. Kita baru disadarkan akan kondisi seniman yang terkenal dengan julukan Burung Merak ini gara-gara wasiat Mbah Surip yang ingin dimakamkan di kompleks Bengkel [...]
Urip Ariyanto a.k.a. Mbah Surip
Akhirnya, menulis juga tentang Mbah Surip. Bisa dikatakan akhirnya, karena beliaunya memang sudah meninggal tanggal 4 Agustus 2009 pukul 10.30 WIB di RS Pusdikkes Jakarta Timur. Banyak spekulasi seputar kematiannya, seperti halnya kematian orang terkenal lainnya, namun faktanya hanya satu: Urip Ariyanto a.k.a. Mbah Surip sudah meninggal titik.
Sosok Mbah Surip memang fenomenal, namanya melejit dalam [...]
