Few days ago my OpenOffice.org Documentation project sites contains some errors on the database since there were some migration and i didn't notice that failure. I noticed that when i tried to update the files and i couldn't login to the site. I asked the hosting service and they tell me the problems and i finally knew it. I have fix this problem and the sites is up and operate again as normal again.
For backup solutions, i have made a new mirror for the site which is located on the Jogja's Linux User Group website. Here is the real URL: http://jogja.linux.or.id/project/Dokumentasi-OOo. There might some difference with both site regarding the path, since i have to change some settings so they fit with the new settings in different hosting services. There might be some gaps between this two sites when there are updates, since i have to manually updates them and i can't use rsync to do synchronizing on both sites.
Let's hope that there are no future crash on both servers :)

Liferea-0.6.2
In the last two days, i got unpredictable updates from OpenSource application. Yesterday it was Gaim who updates to 1.0.3 and now it's Liferea. After launching their first 0.6.x version, Liferea has a VFolder support and it's quite stable enough in 0.6.1. And now it's time to updates to 0.6.2 to get a stabler version of Liferea. This month, Lars is planning to do some code cleanup and also bug fixes to prepare the first final release that is scheduled by the end of this year, that means next year. In the final release, it will be equipped with documentation so you don't have to be online to read the Liferea manual or FAQ.
Unfortunately, until now Lars haven't updates his website, so you won't see any updates available right now. If you want to update your Liferea, you can directly go to Download Section and you will see this updates. Have a nice weekend with updates from Liferea and Gaim :)

POP3 On Gmail
For you who loves downloading and reading emails using POP3 (Post Office Protocols), you might have disappointed since GMail, the free 1GB webmail from Google doesn't provide that protocols, so you will have to login to their website and read them online, just like Yahoo! (exception for Local Yahoo!, such as Singapore, Australia, Germany who still ofered their POP3 opened) and the other webmail services.
But time has proven that Google cares about their consumer's wish. One of the main wish is access to POP3 protocols and also Forwarding services. Google has just announced that they will add this facility, but i'm not sure when will it be realized. If you visit the About Gmail site, you will notice that they have released this facility, but if you log in into your GMail account, you can't find any setting about POP3 and SMTP.
If you visit the GMail Help Center, they have published a new help page, called POP > How do I enable POP? and they have also published a simple howto to enable your POP3 Access, but still i can't find it on my GMail account.
Finally i can get the answer. Look at the bottom of the page and you will see the answer. Well... here you are: We're rolling out POP access to all users in phases. Once it's available to you, a 'Forwarding and POP' tab appears on your 'Settings' page. You need to have this tab in your Gmail account before you can configure POP in your mail client.
That means, not every user can find this tab in their GMail account for now, since they give them in phases. Just wait and keep logging in to your GMail account and when you have your POP3 tab, start POPPING down your GMail account :)

Party is NOT Over Yet
Mozilla Firefox has been released, party has been celebrated, so what next?
Should this joy end like the previous fenomena (i mean Microsoft and Internet Explorer who reached their peak and finally stopped their development process to make a better browser application with less bugs and added functionality)? I don't want that to happen on the development process of Mozilla Firefox because i believe that Firefox has a longer roadmap than IE does and it does have. You can search in the Mozilla's website and they have published their roadmap for 2004 and 2005. Maybe you can find it also in my previous blog.
Right now, every electronic media is talking about Firefox. It is definetly a true big leap since IE dominates browser market for about five years (or maybe more). It's Firefox who cracked their domination in this year, even though the market share still dominated by Internet Explorer, but it already dropping down to 3-4% and Mozilla Foundation is hoping that they will get about 10% by the end of this year. You can view Firefox's articles in PCWorld, Extremetech, eWeek, CNET, The Guardian, CNN, Libération, BBC, Financial Times, Los Angeles Times, and Aljazeera.
There are also some third party support for Mozilla Firefox, such as Vivisimo has released the Clusty Toolbar for Firefox, which lets Firefox users easily perform searches using VivĂsimo's Clusty search engine. In addition, the extension's ClustyClips feature provides access to pop-up dictionary definitions or encyclopedia articles relating to any term on a page. There's also a Mini-Mode option, which allows users to collapse the toolbar into the standard Firefox Search bar, saving screen space.
Another third party support is the launch of the new Bloglines Firefox Central site, which offers two community-developed Firefox extensions. The first, Bloglines Toolkit, adds various Bloglines integration features to Firefox, such as a notifier that informs users when new information is posted to their Bloglines feed list. The second extension, LiveLines, changes the Firefox Live Bookmark icon (in the Status Bar) so that it adds feeds to a user's Bloglines feed list instead of creating a new Live Bookmark.
You can view some blog from the persons behind the Firefox development team, such as Blake, Mitchell, and also Ben. They showed their opinion about Firefox development process.
Some reports stated that Mozilla Firefox has been downloaded more than one million times in the first day it was released. That's an extraordinary fenomena that ever happen in the OpenSource environment, since Firefox is not only for Linux, but also for Windows and Mac OS platforms.
I believe that Firefox will not stop like this and enjoy their victory, but they will keep moving on making a better, safer, and faster browser that can be enjoyed by all people around the world. They still have a lot of tasks to be done for the next release for Firefox.
Updates:
Bradley has posted his Extension, called LookAhead and i think that's a great Extensions. Here are the summary :
"The Lookahead extension for the Firefox browser was created to provide for efficient usage of time while a user performs Google searches.
The extension adds functionality to the existing SearchBar in Firefox. See the screenshot page for an idea of how it will look after installation.
The Lookahead project was conceived as a result of an idea the project lead had for a year or so of making use of the ability of a machine to download multiple web pages while the user was viewing one page for the desired information. In utilizing the time the user is viewing a web page for relevant information to retrieve additional resources, the time normally spent waiting for the next resource to download is somewhat avoided.
The idea is fairly simple and little code is required. After the user chooses the LookAhead mode for Google searches in the toolbar, subsequent searches use the Google Web Service to query for URLs matching the search and these URLs are loaded into multiple tabs in the browser (the default is to open 5 tabs but is configurable). The user can then quickly scan the returned resources for the desired information and close those windows providing nothing of value."
If you want to install this extensions, you can visit MozDev and search for LookAhead or you can install it from here.

Extensions: Need Attention
Firefox has introduced a new alias for plugin that were used in Internet Explorer as Extensions. Extensions will improve Firefox's capability while keeping Firefox's base file as small as possible to reduce unwanted growth (it makes no different to Mozilla if every extensions are included in the installer packages). As new developers start their new project, they will add new extensions and publish them at Update Page. Here you can find extensions and also themes for Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird.
Unfortunately, as Firefox releases their new versions, some of the extensions aren't compatible with the newer version and they will be disabled or have to uninstalled when Firefox reopened for the first time after installation process. Some of the extensions are compatible until the latest version, such as ColorZilla and Web Developer Toolbar. This is the most important extensions for me at this moment since i need it in my daily work.
Things that need to have more attention for the developers are not just extensions, but also themes. Some of the themes available for Firefox 1.0 RC2 is not compatible with Firefox 1.0, so they also have to be uninstalled since they can't be used anymore unless the developers released newer version that suit with the latest version of Firefox.

Expat, Sablotron, PHP and XSLT
Yesterday i compiled PHP from source code and it worked, but it left me with one problem that i haven't been able to solved yesterday, which was the XSLT module that couldn't be installed or activated. When i was using RPM version of PHP, it was just fine since i only have to install php-xslt packages, but since i'm using source code packages, i have to manually reconfigure the source code to give the module that i need.
In general, XSLT modules requires Expat and Sablotron for their backend XML parser. I have downloaded the latest version of Expat and Sablotron today and i will try the process maybe in the next few days since i have to do other task, which is finishing my reports before next thursday (it's not mandatory but sooner the better, since i will have more time playing with my Linux box).
Yesterday i tried to enable XSLT module by adding this parameter on the configure script: '--enable-xslt' '--expat-dir=/path/to/expat' but the configure script couldn't locate the path where i installed Expat. Maybe i should add another parameter: '--with-xslt-sablot'.
Anybody has an idea about this?
Any suggestion will do as long as it's related

Compile Time
I'm having a trouble testing my project's website since i encountered a bug in PHP 4.3.4 which leads to session errors. When i login with user A and i looked at members page which displays user B, the sessions thinks that i'm user B. This is obviously not a good security implementation. I encountered this problem if i'm using Linux because Mandrake doesn't release newer PHP version, except for PHP 4.3.8 which is designed for Mandrake 10.1. I have also tried to upgrade from those RPM packages, but it would need to upgrade pam-devel and glibc as well, so i decided to try compiling from source code.
I'm used to compile an application from source code, but not for big application, such as Apache, PHP, and MySQL so i stayed with the old version that was included with Mandrake 10.0. Recently i need to upgrade to the newer version to solve my problems. The first application that i update was MySQL. I found a RPM package for Mandrake 10.1 and it worked for Mandrake 10.0 as well, so i just use that RPM packages rather than installing from source.
I encountered a problem when i want to compile PHP. I'm using parameters that was used by the RPM version of PHP developed by Mandrake's developers and it won't worked, since it couldn't find libphp4.so. I asked my friend Jaya via YM (i'm using Gaim) and he told me to install Apache2-devel that includes APXS2 library that was required to build Dynamic Shared Objects (DSOs) for Apache2. I tried his suggestion but still it won't worked. When i view my website on my computer, the browser will display download prompt rather than displaying my websites. I decided to delay this process since i thought that i need to recompile Apache2 from source either, so i asked my admin in campuss to download source code for Apache2.
Today i have all the application needed and i started by writing down my PHP packages installed in case the installation doesn't go smoothly, i can restore it by installing it again from Mandrake's CD. Luckily, the process was so smooth and i'm able to see my website again from my local browser. Now my computer is equipped with the latest version of PHP and that would solved my problems :)
Here are the parameter that i used to compile my PHP
'./configure' '--prefix=/usr/local' '--enable-discard-path' '--disable-force-cgi-redirect' '--enable-shared' '--disable-static' '--disable-debug' '--disable-rpath' '--enable-pic' '--enable-inline-optimization' '--enable-memory-limit' '--with-config-file-path=/etc' '--with-config-file-scan-dir=/etc/php' '--with-pear=/usr/share/pear' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--enable-debugger' '--enable-track-vars' '--with-exec-dir=/usr/bin' '--with-versioning' '--with-mod_charset' '--with-regex=php' '--enable-track-vars' '--enable-trans-sid' '--enable-safe-mode' '--enable-ctype' '--enable-ftp' '--with-gettext=/usr' '--enable-posix' '--enable-session' '--enable-sysvsem' '--enable-sysvshm' '--enable-yp' '--with-openssl=/usr' '--without-kerberos' '--with-ttf' '--with-freetype-dir=/usr' '--with-zlib=/usr' '--with-zlib=/usr' '--with-zlib-dir=/usr' '--with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs2' '--with-gd' '--with-png-dir' '--with-jpeg-dir' '--with-zlib-dir' '--with-tiff-dir'

'./configure' '--prefix=/usr/local' '--enable-discard-path' '--disable-force-cgi-redirect' '--enable-shared' '--disable-static' '--disable-debug' '--disable-rpath' '--enable-pic' '--enable-inline-optimization' '--enable-memory-limit' '--with-config-file-path=/etc' '--with-config-file-scan-dir=/etc/php' '--with-pear=/usr/share/pear' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--enable-debugger' '--enable-track-vars' '--with-exec-dir=/usr/bin' '--with-versioning' '--with-mod_charset' '--with-regex=php' '--enable-track-vars' '--enable-trans-sid' '--enable-safe-mode' '--enable-ctype' '--enable-ftp' '--with-gettext=/usr' '--enable-posix' '--enable-session' '--enable-sysvsem' '--enable-sysvshm' '--enable-yp' '--with-openssl=/usr' '--without-kerberos' '--with-ttf' '--with-freetype-dir=/usr' '--with-zlib=/usr' '--with-zlib=/usr' '--with-zlib-dir=/usr' '--with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs2' '--with-gd' '--with-png-dir' '--with-jpeg-dir' '--with-zlib-dir' '--with-tiff-dir'

DeBritto 2001 generation Reunion
I'm one of the DeBritto's 2001 generation and today we had our first reunion at DeBritto's canteen. Unfortunately not everybody can attend this reunion, since some guys can't came to Jogja today and they will arive here tommorow. Some other are still abroad, such as Raymond (Deutch) and Othie (Australia). Total peoples that came to today's reunion were about 60 persons, but not everybody stayed on the party till the end (i was one of them) for another reasons.
We shared our experiences for the last three years since we separate from DeBritto in our graduation day. I haven't finished listening of my friend's experience since i have to left the canteen at 18.45 PM and went to my girlfriend's house.
We will hold a bigger event next year. This events was just an event to collect information about our generation and submit many contact person because we were separated in some cities, even countries. Hope i can join this next event.

Book Fair ... No... Book Store
Yesterday, i was planning to go to book fair with my girl friend, but somehow, my girlfriend's friend who was actually became one of the sales promotion boy on one of the book stand sent my girl friend an sms notifying that the whole place was used for a church concert and he advised us not to come to the JEC (Jogja Expo Center). We agreed and finally i decided to go to book store, Gramedia with my girl friend.
We looked at the third floor, where the books were located. First floor was used to sell various items, such as sports, sellular phones, computer items, toys, bags, etc. Second floor was used to sell office and education items, such as pencils, pen, notes, cards, etc.
I was one good book from I Made Wiryana called "From Germany With IT". He was considered as one of the main fanatic supporter for OpenSource development. He is studying in Germany right now for his Doctor degree. I want to buy it, but after a while i decided not to buy it, since it wasn't a technical book, just his thought and he viewed it from managerial aspect.
After finishing our book session, we ate at Mister Burger and having some ice cream. Next we went to book rent to rent some comics book. I rent Dandoh, a golf comic book.
Finally, i want to write this blog yesterday, but unfortunately Blogger was down so i decided to write this today and post it as yesterday :)

Preparation For the Parade
Mozilla Foundation have announced that the final version of Mozilla Firefox will be launched at November 9th this year. That means five days from now on, but it seems that Firefox developers have not reached a standard level for final release, since they have just released their second Release Candidate (RC2) version today as soon as they found a glitch on the first Release Candidate. The Firefox developers please ask that you look at the following areas:
* site authentication (especially over SSL)
* extension installation via update.mozilla.org and other sites
* MacOS X builds
* software update
They also suggest to continue doing a carefully testing on
# the find toolbar
# gecko and website rendering
# migration from other browsers on first run
# opening links in Firefox from external applications
# focus interaction between tabs
Along with English builds, a number of localizations are also available for testing. More information on what looks to be the final RC before 1.0 can be found on Ben's weblog.
Ben also write some information about the next trunk of Mozilla Firefox, called Firefox 1.1 which will come out at sometime around March 2005. "We don't have ambitious goals for this release aside from getting the branch landed on the trunk and ongoing HIG compliance work for Aqua/GNOME, as well as general bug fixing.", ben Said.
For more information about Firefox's roadmap, please refer to Mozilla Firefox 1.0 Roadmap

Embedded System
In the next three weeks, which will be on 24th of November, there will be a guest lecturer that will explain about embedded system basic and maybe some about implementations in the real world. This guest lecturer is a guest of my lecturer, Mr. Hendro Setiadi and he has many friends that are willing to spend their time to give a short explanations about robotics or embedded system.
Mr Hendro has allocated a place which can hold up to 75 persons approximately, and he gives us a change to invite our friends who are interrested in embedded system to come and see the class. If you want to join this class, please contact me first via my email in order to fulfill the quota allowed so that you will not be disappointed if the quota is overloaded.
Thank you :)

PCStuff, the new player
World of OpenSource is truly an amazing environment. Many people are willing to support and donate their knowledge to help spreading information to other people. In the last three years, many OpenSource resources are available around the world, from magazines, books, events, workshops, etc. They were made by individuals or with another company as their funding sponsors.
One of the new player on the OpenSource resources is PCStuff, an OpenSource Software Magazine which has just released their first issued which discussed about Knoppix, a famous LiveCD Linux distributions, OpenOffice.org 1.1.9 m54, the current development branch of OpenOffice.org, the most widely used office application on GNU/Linux platform, and some other hot topics.
They also opened up an invitation for other people to contribute. Below are the rule if you want to contribute:
1. At the moment PC Stuff does not generate any profit, so we cannot pay our contributors.
2. You are welcome to choose whatever topic you like as long as it covers open source software and aimed at beginners and i ntermediateusers.
3. You agree that your contribution will be released under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike License
4. PC Stuff reserve the right to reject and to edit the final article.
I have submitted my article, but i don't know whether it will be published or not. It's my first article written in English and for foreign magazine. Anybody will join and contribute?

Intel Itanium 2 9M
Intel, the world greatest processors manufacturer is issued to release their latest generation of server-class processor, Intel Itanium 2 9M next week. If it is true, than it will be on the same day with the official announcement of the world's fastest supercomputer ever made. Columbia, made by NASA is the first candidate of the world's fastest supercomputer competition.
This new processor will have code name Madison, like the New York Knick's stadion, Madisson Square Garden. Madison will have up to 9MB cache and it will be 3MB higher than the previous version. Intel will also updates their itanium processor products and also suppying dual-processor model which will consume less energy than the previous models.
Columbia was build based on Intel Itanium 2 9M using 130 nanometers fabrication process. By using this new processors, Columbia gained 51.9 terraflops while the current champion (Earth Simulator) which made in Japan gained 35 terraflops.
In the Intel roadmap, they will develop a new processor by using 90 nanometers fabrication process that will be called Montecito and also 65 nanometers called Montvale. It seems that Intel is pushing Itanium's technology to the limit to cover their failure when they released Intel Itanium and was beaten by AMD 64.
What will AMD do with this? We will find out in next few weeks. I'm preety sure that AMD also have some surprises on their roadmap before the end of this year :)
