About Nokia Tune

Thomas Arie — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 20:23:18 +0000

I just knew that Nokia tune was composed in 1902. This tune — also called Grande Valse — is a phrase from a composition for solo guitar, Gran Vals, by the Spanish classical guitarist and composer Francisco Tárrega. And, it’s estimated that this Nokia tune is heard 1.8 billion times per day, about 20,000 times per second. [Reference: Nokia tune on Wikipedia]

Wikipedia’s New Look

Thomas Arie — Fri, 14 May 2010 18:06:20 +0000

Wikipedia now has a new design, and logo too. About the design, here are few things you should now (taken from the announcement):

Look and feel: We’ve introduced a new theme we call “Vector” which makes essential functions easier to find.
Navigation: We’ve improved the navigation for reading and editing pages. Now, the tabs at the top of each page more clearly define whether you’re reading or editing a page. There’s also a collapsible navigation for the left sidebar that hides items that aren’t used often, but allows them to continue to be easily accessible.
Editing improvements: We’ve reorganized the editing toolbar to make it easier to use. Now, formatting pages is simpler and more intuitive. And we’ve introduced a table wizard to make creating tables easier. You’ll also discover a new find and replace feature to simplify page editing.
Link wizard: An easy-to-use tool allows you to add links to other pages on Wikipedia, or to pages on external sites.
Search improvements: Search suggestions are now improved to get you to the page you are looking for more quickly.
Pediapress book creator: Create a printed book by selecting Wikipedia articles and adding them to the Book Creator. Your articles will be turned into a PDF (or OpenDocument) file so you can easily take Wikipedia wherever you go.
Updated Puzzle globe and wordmark: The well-known Wikipedia globe and wordmark have been enhanced and improved. We’ve introduced Linux Libertine, an open source typeface to help support the creation of hundreds of localized Wikipedia wordmarks, and the internationally-recognized puzzle globe has been recreated in 3D and includes even more languages.

Unfollow All People You Follow (on Twitter)

Thomas Arie — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 18:38:03 +0000

I’m not sure whether I will use this tool called Unfollow All or not, but right now, I don’t have plan to unfollow Twitter users I’m following. But, if I — or an account I maintain — need to do this, this tool should help me do the dirty job.

What is Unfollow All?

This tool will automatically unfollow everybody you’re following. There will be no further confirmation. Please be patient as this may take some time, depending on how many people you are following. After completion, unfollows may take some time to take affect.

Indonesian Batik as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity

Thomas Arie — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 11:46:17 +0000

In 2009, Indonesian batik is inscribed on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization). Type of batik reinforced as World Heritage is a type of “batik tulis” (hand-written batik) and not “batik cap” (printed batik). See more photos about batik from my photoblog.

Thomas Arie — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 12:29:29 +0000

Mediacorp sues Malaysian firm for copyright, trademark infringements.

Singapore media company MediaCorp has taken a Malaysian company to court for selling content recorded off its radio and television channels.

The Malaysian company, MediaBanc, is alleged to have compiled, sold and distributed MediaCorp news and radio programmes, without licence. The acts were discovered in 2006.

i-teve and YouTube

Thomas Arie — Fri, 01 May 2009 15:34:15 +0000

Few days ago, I joined a discussion on other site about i-teve. I thought, I need to respond some comments there. Why? OK, someone wrote this:

wahhh parah banget nih i-teve. Niru2 youtube banget. Malu gw sama bangsa Indonesia. Bikin yang baru gitu dong, apa kek

OK. What about this:

Iya, tapi menurut gw kurang aja nih i-teve kalo konsepnya bener2 njiplak youtube. Plagiat mungkin adalah kata-kata yang tepat, atau mungkin copy cat?

The question is: does he — who gave comments above — already understand what i-teve and YouTube are? But, thank you for your comments… :)

Keep my blog without entries

Undo a sent email in Google Mail

Thomas Arie — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 19:31:00 +0000

After enabling media file preview in Google Mail, I decided to enable another Google Labs feature. It’s Undo Send. This email feature will give us 5 seconds to decide whether we want to send the email or cancel it. I think this feature is very useful. In 5 seconds? I think it’s enough. Or, not?
