Final Distance

Utada Hikaru - Final Distance (2001), this simply touches my heart, Utada sure had put so much into this song. You can also fetch the lyrics here.

I just realized, it's soon my final distance with her.

Amarok Pidgin Script

Recently I (re-)write a small shell scipt to update your Pidgin status message with currently playing Amarok track.

It's using Purple and DCOP for sure. :D

Here it is.

note: the server won't reply if you change your status too often. it's my personal experience, not sure whether it will happen on your net

Clipless Pedal

I've recently attached pair of clipless pedal to Cathy. They are FPD-C13BA.

Sorry for the blurry images:



About the cycling shoes, I adapt an football shoes, fixing cleats into them. Don't ask me how to do is--it was a big mess. :D

It's Joma shoes which I sacrificed:


How it's done, the cleat is properly installed:


Finally, mounted :D

New Casette for Cherry

After I put the old casette off after 5 years of faithful service, I installed 7 sprockets casestte into Cherry.

Just wanna show it:


The smallest sprocket still "cling-cling" as the frame (and rear hub) was originally designed for 6-sprockets casette. Frame and hub works awaiting! :)

Cheap Brake-pads

I should've posted this days ago.

I (recently) bought cheap brake pads (a pair cost Rp 5k), I bought 6 pairs of them. They are soft and lock the wheel in split a second, suitable for my riding style.

Here they are:


And this is how they are installed on Cherry:


Not suprisingly, they are made in China.
