Credo's Walk Of Life

Apartemenku di Delft ada di jalan yg namanya Roland Holstlaan. Seringnya sih disebut Roland aja.
Waktu tahun pertama tinggal di Delft, aku tinggal di gedung ini. Tahun kedua, pindah ke gedung lain. Untuk Agustus-Oktober 2009 ini, aku kembali ke Roland.

Tapi entah kenapa tiba2 jadi banyak kemalingan di gedung ini. Poster2 yg ngingatin soal kemalingan udah banyak di tempel di dalam gedung, termasuk ngingatin ngunci kamar kalau keluar (bs sih ga usah di kunci, dab jadi ga bs dibuka dr luar. Tp dgn obeng ato sejenisnya, bisa dibuka dgn agak maksa. Aku jg bisa, hahaha :D), ngunci jendela, nutup pintu ke bike shed, pintu masuk ke koridor dan ke dalam apartemen. Selain itu jg ga membiarkan org lain yg mencurigakan utk ikut masuk ke dalam gedung (perlu kunci kamar masing2 utk masuk ke dalam gedung).
Tp ya gmn nentuin mencurigakan apa ngganya.. feeling masing2 itu mah..

Pas ketemu caretaker di lantai dasar 2 minggu lalu, dia ngasi selebaran pengumuman yg ada nomor telp polisinya. Dia bilang dalam 4 tahun ini, ini pertama kalinya ada kemalingan lagi.
Hari ini udah ada poster baru yg bilang yg kemalingan udah 6 kamar.

Semoga cepat bereslah urusan maling2 ini. Jadi was-was ninggalin kamar

I wrote this following questions from some friends at Plurk about why I do not use googledoc instead.

Since I worked on my thesis last March, I has at least 2 workstations. My notebook at home, my notebook in the office ( I do in-company thesis), and computers in my faculty.

I've tried to only use my office notebook, but after some times, carrying the notebook back and forth on twice a day 1,5 hour indirect train travel became too annoying.

I have a special folder for my thesis work, including subfolders that organize my literature collection based on how I get them and whether I have printed them or not. It's common for me to add new articles or move some articles to printed-folders.

For that reason, I back up my files by simply copying my thesis folder to my flashdisk and copying it again to my home notebook. However at some point, my pathetically-small-capacity flashdisk (256Mb) can't handle my files anymore :p

I tried to send files to my own email address. But this really is not the best solution, because I can't have my perfectly organized thesis folder on hand.

That's how I started using Dropbox from Getdropbox.com. It gives me 2Gb online space.
I installed it on my home notebook. Then I moved my thesis folders to the Dropbox folder. When I installed the same application on my work notebook and link it to my own account, it automatically made an exact copy of my Dropbox folder at home.

Everytime I made changes to my thesis at work, i.e.: document update, document relocation, etc, the application automatically synchronize the change online and when I get home, the same synchronization is also performed in my home notebook.

That's how Dropbox helps with my thesis work :D
Btw, I need more Dropbox space. If you register through my referral link, you and I (it's fair right? hehe) will get additional 250Mb space, haha.. So, if you wanna give it a try, register through this link :D

There are similar concepts that might be as useful, such as online desktop (I forget the application name).

I love this video.
The song is from Mandisa, "Never Gonna Steal My Joy" and the dancer is Walking Palm.
This video can always brighten my day everytime I see it :)

De Tenoren van Krashna Musika heb ..err.. er.. No, I can't continue in Dutch :p

Yaa, The Tenors of Krashna Musika decided to have a brunch together this Saturday morning (like the Sopranos, Altos, and Bass also do with their own respective groups).

Yoben as the Papa Tenoren (coordinator) who arranged the date and everything, unfortunately couldn't make it because his sister gave birth to two girls just recently.

However from 9 invited Tenors, only 3 could make it. So, ya it's just Alex, Tom, and me (with two of Alex's housemates) enjoying the warm sun, cool breeze, and church bell's chime on the balcony. The brunch consisted of fried egg, bacon, toasts, jams, butter, hagelslaag, sausage, coffee, tea, and fruit salad. Oh, and I brought 2 packs of dadar jagung with me.

Great moment to relax once in a while.. and the weather's nice too :)

Sepedaku udah bocor ban 4 kali dalam 3 minggu ini. Karena bosan nambal ban melulu, rencananya pengen beli sepeda (second) baru aja, karena tanpa sepeda hidup ini menderita (halaaah :D)

Tapi kemudian dapat tawaran dari Ucup untuk minjem sepedanya aja (ohh, baik hati sekali). Jadi kemaren sore dia datang bawain sepedanya. Walau mestinya aku yg jemput, tapi dia bilang ga papa karena dia mo skalian mampir ke tempat Baqir. Datanglah dia sekitar jam 8 lewat (eh, terasa masih sore krn masih terang, hahaa).

Sesaat setelah dia pergi, aku mo belanja ke Aldi. Baru beberapa meter, kok ada bunyi2 aneh ya.. Dan puncaknya ada bunyi letusan. Hhhh.. ternyata ban belakangnya meletus. Tauk deh kenapa.. Pas ada banyak orang di dekat taman itu, tapi cuek aja balik badan ke arah rumah, hehe.. Eh, tapi ada Nelson & Michelle juga yg tiba2 menyapa (mereka mau ke Mina, ngejual lumpia. Cicip testernya dikit, enak :D)

Intinya, batal deh pake sepeda pinjeman. Nelpon Ucup utk ngasi tau, dan memutuskan untuk jalan kaki aja belanjanya.. Ke Aldi, "Ehh udah tutup." Baru sadar liat jam udah jam 9 kurang dikit. Hmm, keknya C1000 & AH tutupnya jam 10 malam deh. Jalan kaki lagi ke C1000, "Looh tutup juga. Semoga AH masih buka." Dengan optimisme yang tersisa, lanjut jalan ke AH, dan tadaaa... petugas2nya lagi beres2 di dalam.

Akhirnya pulang dengan sia-sia.. dan jalan kaki...
