IndoFresh? Orite!
Orite -> Harusnya Alright hehehehe…

Begitulah kata dua orang pmbawa acara [yang kliatannya asek ndiri ditemenin ama senior2 yang duduk di blakang wakakakakaka] yang membawakan acara IndoFresh tadi. IndoFresh itu acara presentasi pengenalan tentang NTU dan orientasi Indo NTU. Eeem biasanya buat freshie sih, tapi senior juga boleh nonton kok. Wakakakaka…

Acara tadi berlangsung mulai dari skitar jam 5 sampe jam 7 malam. Wow… 2 jam duduk nontstop buat nonton sesuatu yang baru dikenali pada saat itu. Ga heran ada yang mulai goyang2in kaki… hahaha… Pantesan gw dulu
cepet2 pengen udahan…

Seperti taun lalu, senior yang duduk di blakang pada nriakin pmbawa acara. Wkwkwkwwkwk…

Ada kmajuan untuk acara taun ini, di antaranya:

  • Acaranya di LT2A XD
    Taon lalu di LT2 [skarang namanya Tan Chin Tuan Lecture Theatre]
  • Weeee ada nonton bioskopnya!
    Ga penting sih. Cuma gara2 nyetel video buat GTD trus lampunya dimatiin. Dulu kayaknya ga ada. Hohoho…
  • Presiden PINTUnya pidato B.Inggris!
    Kliatannya ngapal, tapi tetep aja keren XD
    Taon lalu gimana ya? Ga inget…
  • Prof yang videonya ada di Youtube ngasi pidato! Wew…
    Sumpe,, kocak abis hahaha… Taon lalu dia ga ngasi pidato…
  • Prestasi2 anak2 Indo disebut2 XD
    Yang dapet medali Lee Kuan Yew disebut2… yang dapet Dean’s List diitung2… wew.. taon lalu ngga loh.
  • Lebih detail! Atau cuma prasaan gw aja?
    STARS, edveNTUre, dan lain2nya itu dijelasin. Hall dan club juga, walaupun ga disebut2 poinnya……. haaaaa…
    Mungkin juga taun lalu disebut2, tapi gara2 acaranya kelamaan jadi gw ga terkesan…(?)

Tapi satu aja si… Sebagus2nya acara ya kalo durasinya ga pas, tetep aja…

Kayaknya 2 jam itu kelamaan, apalagi kalo duduk doang. Kalo tahan duduk si ga apa. Terus lagi, gara2 kelamaan, freshie2 mungkin uda kehilangan konsentrasi sejak pertengahan acara.

Dan juga, info yang diberikan terlalu banyak… Jadi ya abis presentasi selese, buyar smua hahahaha…

[Gile,, lecture yang cuma sejam yang isinya ga nyampe 1 bab aja ga nempel, apalagi perkenalan 2 jem yang infonya banyak banget...]

Support Open Source!

Posted in Computer by nmutiara on 2008/07/31

Perhaps you wonder why you should support Open Source. Well, there’s one simple answer.

Open Source is Free!

“Free” in this case is in “Freedom” context, not “Free of Charge.” Almost nothing in this world does not cost money, right?

Mostly, Open Source software is available on the Internet. You can download it without being charged for the software [but you have to pay your Internet bill]. If you don’t have Internet connection or your Internet connection sucks, you can find stores selling cheap CD or DVD containing such software. You can also order free CD or DVD [but you have to pay the mailing cost for cheap price]!

You are free to use and spread the software. You are free to see the source code. You can copy, modify, enhance, or fix it if you want. You can also redistribute the modified software, but see the license from the author of the software first.

[But remember, you do so at your own risk!]

Open Source never disappoints you. If you find problems, you can search the community throughout the Internet [ just use Google search engine :) ] and find or ask for the solution there. If there’s no solution, you can still know why the problems happen. When you know that the problems cannot be fixed, you simply think that’s alright because you don’t pay for the software. [ then you can try for other Open Source one :) ]

The Open Source community is also a place for you to shout your opinion about the software. You can explain enhancement you want for the software or the source code.

But you know, there are many Open Source applications and operating systems that work very well. In fact, a lot of them can work for computers having low specifications! You can also run the software directly from portable devices such as CD, DVD, and USB flash drive!

So, why don’t you support Open Source?

By using them, you already contribute to the Open Source community. By spreading them, you contribute even more to the community. By shouting your opinion about the software, you also contribute very much to the community. By giving donations to the authors, you have them contribute much more to the community! :P

Moreover, if you spend your time to make enhancement for the source code, you actually spend your time to contribute to the world!

It’s very easy to contribute to Open Source, isn’t it?

A Little Act of Kindness Goes A Long Way.

You can start to support Open Source anytime. You can have banners and buttons to spread your favourite Open Source applications and operating systems. Just Google to look for the banners and buttons, then place them at your homepage.

Here are some examples.

Open Source applications

Get Firefox! Reclaim Your Inbox!

Open Source operating systems

Get Ubuntu! openSuse.org

Get Fedora!

Ok, that’s it! Have fun with Open Source stuff! :)

[If you think there are some other buttons related with Open Source, just let me know.]

Oh, and don’t worry. Doing all the things specified above is 100% legal :)
