resistance is futile!

acer: asli cepat rusak.

That's really true. Zero, I got a dead pixel on the screen from the beginning. First, I got problem with the charger/adapter in less than six months, fortunately they gave me a new one, even though I had to threatened them with law suit because they said my adapter was fake. Second, I lost electricity on my battery. Third, it constantly hang due to horizontal position changing, that force me to treat my mobile laptop as portable desktop. Four, I plug the hardisk off and boot from a usb disk dongle, I made my hardisk as external hardisk until now. Five, I didn't boot at all. From the sound I suspected it might be the DVD/CD-ROM, since I didn't have any moving parts except the fan. So I plug the CD-ROM. This picture is the destructive result.

e rosso

I saw a nice things on the road. It was red light when a woman with her son passed by ignoring it. Her son yelled protesting her "E ROSSO!" (en:It is red). The woman was mumbling something, but the child kept yelling "E ROSSO!" until I couldn't hear them. Education.

Pescheria

This morning I bought some fish for nutrition upgrade. There was an old woman ordered a small slice of fish meat. It was expensive, so the woman said that she only want a small slice. Unfortunately the smallest slice is still quite big for her, and the vendor didn't want to cut it smaller. The woman protested and just leaved the shop, meanwhile the vendor has weighted, packed the fish and made the bill. Yes it happened, in europe.

asnf audio system

Reading posts on jimmyauw's blog send my memories back when I was child. I bought an amplifier kit for Rp20.000(around USD10), ready to plug without chasis and power supply. Rode bicycle to the town (yes I lived more less 10km outside the town) with Reza, who lived 3-4 km from my home. Now I'm wondering on how we made appointment without phone, sms nor email, it was beautiful day isn't it.
It was quite complete kit, preamp, tone control and power amp. I used a bare casette/tape deck as head unit, and two full range pioneer speakers(grab from my parents stereo set, hmm my parents were quite rich for they afforded to buy this precious portable stereo tape player). It was not very long until Reza generously gave his tape sharp walkman, I used it as my new head unit, it sound definitely better and louder.
The powersupply was 5Ampere trafo, quite big. I didn't assemble it together in a chassis since I need it to fed my head unit(fortunately there was 3V output to feed the walkman battery power). The chassis was half centimeter wooden multiplex and some coconut tree wood, painted red, never finish :(. The driver casing was made made from soft wood(kapuk), ex concrete construction works, painted contemporary also never finished. I almost forgot to mention that this two fullrange speaker was put in the same box! ok I admit it was dumb.
I got cursed by DIY project, modifications. As I remember I only did modification on single capacitor that change the tone higher or lower, given bigger capacity it went lower and vice versa.
Full range was not cool, I wanted extreme bass and treble. I went for one tweeter and one woofer, actually they weren't bought at the same time. Build the case using ex concrete construction works again. It was quite big and time consuming. I meant to build sub woofer actually, but finally it went to single channel of my stereo, and the other two fullrange went to other channel. Another blatant dumb.
It sounds, good? well everything is relative. This system filled days of my adolescence for couple(4-5) years. I think it was not the amp, the head unit was the most important.. thank Za :D.
Many casettes were played on it, as I remember only one was copied version, the rest were originals; Iwan Fals(a lot), P-Project(I knew their parodical songs version more than the originals), dewa19(all of their album), Def Leppard (a bunch of them), MLTR(yes we're chicks), Saigon Kick(sometime also kick out), Kenny G, SlanK, Oasis, Alanis Morissette, Green Day, Metallica, Sherina(when she was cute), and many more. Most of them were borrowed.
After some years in university I feel that I lost my respect to music, probably due to mp3 format that can be easily copied and pasted. I feel sorry for myself, I lost respect to what I loved. Practically I never bought a single song/album after I leave my fancy audio system.
