Avianto's Journal

Just upgraded the weblog engine to Movable Type 3.1. The main reason is so I can use MTBlacklist since I am quite tired of deleting almost 10 comment spams everyday.

Let see how this new engine run. Haven’t got the time to play around with the features tho, although it seems very interesting. Maybe later.

Another Tech Talks issue. Want to share your taste on music? Your favorites weblogs? Your photos? Here are some interesting online tools to do that:

1. Kinja. It’s a web based RSS reader. Its simplicity is the power. My only complain is it doesn’t have categories which I found quite difficult to organize my quite differ RSS feeds. Bloglines on the other hand provide the categories (or folder) but I just don’t like the interface, it just too complicated for my simple taste, but if you desperately need the categorical feeds then Bloglines will do. So here are my shared Kinja and Bloglines.

2. Audioscrobbler. With it cooperation with Last.FM, this is my chosen online music tool. Share my taste of music to the world and listen to the same kind of music from other people preferences. And it is legal. So what else do you need? It is a sharing taste experience. Curious about my taste? Take a look at my own personal taste of music and my current listening list on Last.FM.

3. Flickr. Yet another photo sharing web tools. With a twist. I mean it is basically a photo sharing community. It have some features like tagging, contact and other interesting stuff. Not to mention their amazing organizer. See my Flickr page.

That’s all for now. Next issue of Tech Talks will be about some useful online tools that I am regularly used and next time will be about some useful Mac application installed on my machine. Till then!

Farewell denise. It’s been great knowing you! Wish you a great life and future ahead.

One of my best friend here in Lübeck was leaving this afternoon. She went back to her country beyond the Atlantic Ocean. She is a good friend regardless her frantic behavior and “rush in the end” attitude =). But everybody have their own flaws and I know that her greatness is way much beyond her flaws.

So, thank you d for being a friend! Hope to seeing you again!

Some photos from Saas Fee now. The story will have to wait for a while. I have to gather my mind and finished some of more important things that I’ve left behind for the last couple of days.

Write more soon.

I’ll be leaving Lübeck tomorrow to Saas Fee. I will be my professor‘s personal assistance and attending his lectures and seminars for EGS on their Summer Residency Program. It will be some busy days and of course it will be fun and enlightening since the lecture and seminar are just exactly in the area of my study interest.

So unless I could find internet connection there I don’t think I can write anything here until I come back. Anyway, have a good weekend everyone. See you soon and have a good time!
