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.

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

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

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! :)

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.

Electrical-linguistics, I suck

Just now, I realize (more) I suck at Electrical-linguistics (after a lecture on Electrical Power Engineering)
1. I thought transformator is Indonesian word derived from English, in fact it's not.
2. It's more natural to me to write travo rather than trafo (which is the correct one).
3. Sometimes my tongue still slips while saying parallel, making it sounds closer to pararel (which is absolutely stupid).

Integrated Break Shifter, really?
Label:

Comments: (0)
If you look closer to my handlebar, you will notice such misplaced ugly break-shifter which designed for normal hybrid (closer to mountain) bike. So why did I put it that way?

Left one.

Right one.
There's some advantages over regular STI/ergo brifters:
- much cheaper (IDR 200k)
- you could shift while braking (rather hard to do on STI)
- easier to adjust (has more joint) between bar and brifters
Disadvantages:
- hard to shift when on drop (especially pull-shift)
- look cheap :(
So how I made it:
Just put metal bar ends which you cut to appropriate length. Install it there! (you will notice such small bar of metal ascending there, won't you?)

New Handlebar
Label:
bicycle,
I take it personally
/
Comments: (0)
Recently after reading some bike-fitting articles, I found my handlebar somewhat too narrow (and I feel it has too shallow drop), so I just re-make it. ;)
The work involves some welding, making the drop wider, using longer middle part of handle (it's actually a cheap MTB handlbar I cut in the sides to make desired final length). The total length is about 41 cm.

Cheap drop handlebars found in bike shops are 35cm, cost IDR 15000, the flatbars cost IDR 10000, and welding service costs IDR 10000. Here you get a drop handlebar to your liking for IDR 35000, rather than 40 cm Ritchey's which costs IDR 125000.
Most people says, the proper drop handlebar length is around your shoulder length end to end, so here is my fitting. 1 cm difference won't hurt (unless you are professional rider). I am sorry I can't get better picture, I amn't used to self-timer camera.

This is how after it's installed to the bike, the taping is made from used inner tube. Quite satisfying I suppose overall. The next target is to install longer stem so I can accelerate better in hills.

I've always loved Grand Tours.
La Vuelta is starting tomorrow. There are some we (may) expect more from the tour.
First, Contador isn't racing. For sure his recent move to Saxobank needs him for some transition. Spanish couldn't have their own Hero in this tour. Second, neither is Valverde. His suspension due to doping allegation isn't over yet, so--let it be.
Yep, looking forward into the last Grand Tour of this year!

This has been pain for around two weeks (per my ignorance about openBSD).
The story began when I was entrusted a box in the lab, there are two must-install OSs: Windows XP, openBSD 4.7. As a senior of mine is working on his thesis about rendering videos over clustered boxes, he had me to install an instance of Ubuntu. And my personal boot is Slackware. :D
First, installing them. It's pretty easy, just note that openBSD and WindowsXP must boot from primary partition. This is how the partitions look (the Slakcware is on another disk)
this is from cfdisk on Slackware
As the harddisk containing Slackware is my personal belonging, I can't install the bootloader (LILO on Slackware) on it, so it comes to Ubuntu's GRUB(2). Straight to the point, here's the menus of

CG33 Font patch
I'd been slacking with this thing, really. Back then, I'd written the script to be able to change font on E680/i/g, but the CG33's gone to nowhere. In my previous-released CG33, the script seems to be doing nothing becase the font is just there already.
Recently calie's kindly requested the feature back. So here it is.
For E680i->E680g
33_minimal_ig_aep_1.2.smg.a
33_minimal_ig_aep_1.2.smg.b
For A780_AHP
33_minimal_a_ahp_1.1f.smg.a
33_minimal_a_ahp_1.1f.smg.b
For E680
33_minimal_o_aep_1.2.smg.a
33_minimal_o_aep_1.2.smg.b
And here's the font-linking script (if you're lazy enough not to write one)
font.sh
the previous script lacked "voidness" checking :(
Recently calie's kindly requested the feature back. So here it is.
AMCSL.TTF is linked to /tmp/AMCSL.TTF, I just like it there rather than on /ezxlocal like chiennk did in the old days. A default font will be used if no new font specified to link to mentioned location.For E680i->E680g

For real, I haven't done July's post. Now it's!
This holiday, beside enroll make-up semester, I play Pokemon Pearl which I haven't play to these days (because I didn't have sufficient hardware back then).
The emulator I use is Desmume as it runs well on Linux, depsite there's some lack of 3D rendering on it (compared to NO$GBA. The good thing is Desmume could do quick-save-load, rather than battery-only NO$GBA.
So here's the ROM.
