			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pop quiz, hotshot. How do you navigate to the <strong>previous</strong> screen in a <a href="https://ibank.klikbca.com/">BCA</a> ATM?</p>

<p>If you&#8217;re like me and most people, you press &#8220;Cancel&#8221;, reinsert your card, punch in your PIN again, and navigate to the screen that you want. Try repeating that while finding a menu item and a few people line up behind you and you keep reinserting the card back as soon as the machine pops it out.</p>

<p>I saw there were at least two buttons on the keypad that were unassigned and could have been programmed as a generic back button. Even if implementing a generic &#8220;back&#8221; button is too much effort, the &#8220;back&#8221; function could have been easily assigned to one of the side screen buttons.</p>

<p>And if you want to pay for a ticket, do you go to &#8220;Pembayaran&#8221; or &#8220;Pembelian&#8221; first?</p>

<p><a href="https://ibank.klikbca.com/">klikbca</a> is not any better. They seem to enjoy torturing their user. OK, rather than just complaining, I&#8217;ll straight away give one possible improvement to their balance checking interface. Merge the &#8220;Informasi Saldo&#8221; and &#8220;Mutasi&#8221; as one menu item called &#8220;Informasi Saldo&#8221;. Then, show the balance at the top and all the transactions for the past 31 days below it by default while still allowing the user to filter the transactions by date. Don&#8217;t ask the user to <strong>manually count (today &#8211; 31 days)</strong>, just show it. If the range I put is more than 31 days, then just show what you have up to 31 days, don&#8217;t ask me to correct the starting date if you can easily fix it for me. If the info is too much and I don&#8217;t want to see that much info, then I&#8217;ll filter it later. If it&#8217;s too much info to show in one page, split it up into multiple pages. This is common sense. Why force the user to jump extra hoops <em>every time</em>?</p>

<p>The default should be sensible, and the default should be chosen because most people use it that way, NOT because it&#8217;s easier to program it that way. In order to understand the user&#8217;s pains, a designer must see from the user&#8217;s perspective and use the things they&#8217;re designing themselves. My girlfriend pointed out to me that most of these usability idiocy is because the people who designed/created it don&#8217;t use it themselves very often, and I agree with her.</p>

<p>All these big companies providing services to the public must hire at least a usability expert rather than wasting their money on paying half-assed so-called &#8220;designers&#8221; (that is if they even hire designers, they probably just let the programmers do the design). I mean just look at their websites. If any of you is an Indosat M2 subscriber, you would know how terrible their website is when you check your internet usage, it looks like it&#8217;s designed and written by a high-school kid who just learned PHP. Who the hell in this Web 2.0 age uses pop ups to notify the user that the login was successful?! Yes, successful, <em>not</em> unsuccessful.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Emang cuma mereka doang yang bisa bikin overly sensational headlines?</p>

<p><a href="http://jkt.detiknews.com/indexfr.php?url=http://jkt.detiknews.com/index.php/detik.read/tahun/2007/bulan/11/tgl/23/time/124436/idnews/856603/idkanal/10" cass="noborder"><img src="http://ronny.haryan.to/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/detikcom-penulis-goblok.png" class="noborder" alt="Detikcom dituntut penghuni Apartemen Taman Anggrek"/></a></p>

<p>Teksnya demikian:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Gudang Ekstasi di Apartemen Taman Anggrek Digerebek Polisi &#8211; Indra Subagja &#8211; detikcom</p>
  
  <p>Jakarta &#8211; Diam-diam penghuni Apartemen Taman Anggrek, Tanjung Duren, Jakarta Barat, 
  menggunakan kamar 19 tower 5 sebagai gudang ekstasi. Setahun beroperasi, polisi sukses<br />
  menggerebek.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Well, detikcom belum actually dituntut sih. Tapi ya siap-siap aja.</p>

<p>BTW, reporter mereka itu proses seleksi waktu hiringnya gimana sih? Kayaknya kebanyakan kok kemampuan berbahasa Indonesianya aja meragukan banget. Boro-boro kemampuan jurnalistiknya. Yang bagus cuma kemampuan misleading pembaca lewat headlines yg sengaja dibuat sensasional dan/atau isi tulisan yang tidak netral dan dijejali pendapat pribadi penulisnya yang cenderung menghasut.</p>

<p>Buat anda yang bilang &#8220;Ya udah, lu ngapain baca detikcom kalo udah tau begitu?&#8221; maka jawabannya adalah karena saya tidak tinggal di Indonesia dan saya mau tau apa yang terjadi di Indonesia lewat internet, dan karena belum ada alternatif lain situs berita yang lebih cepat dan lebih baik. Jadi saya baca detikcom cuma baca inti dari kejadiannya aja tanpa pay attention ke apa yg benar2 ditulis karena kebanyakan crap dan cuma bikin saya annoyed.</p>

<p>Oh, satu lagi kehebatan detikcom: pinter bikin pembacanya annoyed. Iklan yg jumlahnya seabreg-abreg, beranimasi pula, gak ada RSS/Atom feed, sok mau disable right click, tampilan layout yang bikin mata sakit, a complete web design disaster.</p>

<p>Kalo anda tau alternatif situs berita Indonesia yang secepat detikcom saya akan sangat menghargai kalo anda memberitahukan lewat komentar.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Beberapa hari belakangan ini lagi rame <a href="http://priyadi.net/archives/2005/12/12/herman-saksono-roy-suryo-dan-susilo-bambang-yudhoyono/">soal orang <abbr title="cari muka">carmuk</abbr> dan orang iseng yang jadi korbannya</a>.</p>

<p>Saya tadinya gak ingin ikut-ikut di masalah ini, soalnya saya gak mau encourage yang <abbr title="cari muka">carmuk</abbr> dengan memberikan publikasi gratis. Tapi yah cuek dah, biar kebobrokan terungkap dan istilah &#8220;pakar multimedia&#8221; atau &#8220;pakar telematika&#8221; itu dikubur aja dalem-dalem. Mau muntah tiap kali denger itu.</p>

<p>Sudah berapa hari panas dibicarakan masalah ini di mana-mana, sampe akhirnya <a href="http://priyadi.net/archives/2005/12/14/pasal-pasal-kejahatan-terhadap-martabat-presiden-dan-wapres/#comment-45278">Enda bilang mau nanya ke SBY sendiri</a>.
Dan sekarang <a href="http://enda.goblogmedia.com/sby-saya-baru-dengar-tentang-ini.html">jelas sudah</a> kenyataan yang sebenarnya.</p>

<p>Tenang aja, saya gak mau nulis lagi panjang lebar soal itu. Saya mau ngomongin soal sisi lainnya dari itu.</p>

<p><span id="more-84"></span></p>

<p>Sudah <a href="http://technorati.com/search/herman+saksono+roy+suryo">banyak</a> sekali yang ngeblog dan media massa yang meliput (dengan benar maupun salah). Saya cuma mau bilang saya sudah lama kagum dengan SBY dan sekarang pun kagum dengan <a href="http://enda.goblogmedia.com/sby-saya-baru-dengar-tentang-ini.html">kebijaksanaan beliau</a> dalam menghadapi hal ini. Walaupun belum pernah bertemu, saya yakin beliau orang yang punya common sense dan juga sense of humour yang baik, tidak mudah tersinggung dengan hal-hal remeh. Sebuah trait yang memang seharusnya dimiliki seorang pemimpin negara yang baik.</p>

<p>Beliau bilang gak akan menuntut, toh ini cuma bercanda atau iseng, tapi alangkah baiknya kalo keisengan itu diarahkan ke hal lain yang lebih positif seperti membuat kapal.</p>

<p>Menurut saya tidak semua keisengan itu sifatnya negatif, walaupun konotasinya cenderung demikian. Keisengan bisa jadi medium ekspresi <del datetime="2008-11-27T04:11:15+00:00">kreatifitas</del><ins datetime="2008-11-27T04:11:15+00:00">kreativitas</ins> seseorang. Keisengan yang positif bisa menghasilkan banyak hal yang positif pula, seperti yang sifatnya seni (lukisan, musik, komedi, film, dsb.) Hasil iseng coba-coba bisa menghasilkan sesuatu yang baru dan unik. Keisengan orang memanipulasi foto banyak menghasilkan seni dan hiburan yang bisa dilihat antara lain di <a href="http://worth1000.com">Worth1000.com</a>. Banyak juga penemuan yang bermula dari keisengan.</p>

<p>Saya orangnya techie banget, jadi saya mencoba untuk mengimbangi perkembangan pribadi saya dengan hal-hal yang non-teknis juga. Seni dan sense of humour itu penting sebagai bagian dari manusia yang berbudaya tinggi. Saya sangat menghargai sense of humour yang baik. Ini sifat yang sayangnya kurang banyak dimiliki oleh orang-orang, sehingga menjadikan mereka terlalu gampang tersinggung dengan hal-hal yang sepele. Pak SBY mungkin tidak termasuk orang-orang tersebut. Humor membuat kita senang. Senang membuat kita lebih rileks. Rileks membuat kita tidak stress. Tidak stress membuat kita bekerja lebih baik. Kalo semua bekerja lebih baik maka pekerjaan bisa selesai dengan baik dan cepat. See the pattern?</p>

<p>Tapi seperti pisau, keisengan itu bisa disalahgunakan jika tidak berhati-hati atau jatuh ke tangan yang salah. Keisengan yang melanggar kebebasan orang lain itu bukan keisengan yang positif. Acara TV à la Spontan dan Candid Camera itu memang lucu buat ditonton, tapi butuh hati yang besar dan sense of humour yang baik dari para korban untuk mengerti bahwa itu hanya main-main. Kadang-kadang memang ada yang agak keterlaluan saya juga kurang enjoy jadinya. Semua ada batasnya. Batasnya ya itu tadi. Your freedom is fine as long as it doesn&#8217;t interfere with my freedom. Seandainya Herman memanipulasi foto SBY sehingga tampak seperti beliau punya affair dengan seseorang lalu menyebarkan berita palsu tentang affair tersebut, nah itu melanggar kebebasannya Pak SBY. Tapi memanipulasi foto yang sudah jelas-jelas terlihat dimanipulasi (lha wong dipasang bersama foto-foto manipulasi lainnya) dengan niat mengundang senyum dan tawa dari pemirsanya, &#8230; ya saya rasa anda bisa menilai sendiri.</p>

<p>Akhir kata, saya mengangkat topi ke Pak SBY atas kebijaksanaan beliau dalam menghadapi &#8220;masalah&#8221; yang sepele dan mengada-ada (tepatnya, diada-adakan oleh seseorang) ini. Saya hanya kurang setuju kalo <a href="http://www.republika.co.id/online_detail.asp?id=226533&amp;kat_id=23">&#8220;iseng jangan dikembangkan&#8221;</a>. Iseng tidak selalu berarti negatif.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.suzung.com/wayang/main.htm" class="noborder"><img src="/files/wayang01.jpg" class="alignleft" alt="wayang" /></a>Now everyone can be a digital <em>dalang</em> at home and direct a digital <em><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayang">wayang</a> kulit</em> show. A researcher from the <a href="http://www.knua.ac.kr/">Korea National University of Arts</a> <a href="http://www.suzung.com/wayang/main.htm">created a digital version of the <em>wayang kulit</em> show</a> by allowing the <em>dalang</em> (the puppeteer) to easily control silhouette characters on the screen using their hands without the actual <em>wayang kulit</em> itself. The <em>dalang</em> wears prepared color chips and move their hands inside a small box with curtains just like the stage.</p>

<p>It&#8217;s an interesting achievement, but watching a digital show is probably not as good as watching the real thing, in my opinion. I remember having had to wait until way past midnight to watch a <em>wayang</em> show on TV when I was a kid. I may not be the biggest fan of <em>wayang</em>, but I think <em>wayang</em> shows should be shown on TV more often and in better timeslots, replacing all the reality TV shows and all those other crap on Indonesian TV these days.</p>

Saya sudah cek file <code>robots.txt</code>, tidak ada. Search di Google katanya kemungkinan karena ada redirect, tapi <em>front page</em> linux.or.id tidak diredirect ke mana-mana. Kemungkinan lain menurut Google sih katanya kalau tidak sesuai dengan aturan main Google, misalnya ada situs yang tidak fair dengan menggunakan hidden keywords yang tidak sesuai dengan isinya atau praktek lainnya yang sengaja memanipulasi indeks Google demi kepentingan sendiri, tapi saya tidak terpikir ada di mana kemungkinan seperti ini di linux.or.id, apakah di salah satu subdomainnya?</p>

<p>Barusan saya upgrade <a href="http://drupal.org">Drupal</a> (sistem <abbr title="Content Management System">CMS</abbr> yang digunakan oleh linux.or.id) ke versi stable terakhir. Entah apa gara-gara tempo hari saya workaround disable xmlrpc waktu ada security bug dan waktu itu belum sempet upgrade.</p>

<p>Ada ide?</p>

  <p>Java technology is a portfolio of products that are based on the power of networks and the idea that the same software should run on many different kinds of systems and devices.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Java is the name of Indonesia&#8217;s most densely-populated island. The name Java used by Sun is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_programming_language#Java_meets_the_Internet">perceived</a> to have come from the Java coffee which the developers fond of drinking.</p></li>
<li><p><a href="http://www.mozilla.org/js/">JavaScript</a></p>

<blockquote>
  <p>JavaScript  is the Netscape-developed object scripting language used in millions of web pages and server applications worldwide. Netscape&#8217;s JavaScript is a superset of the ECMA-262 Edition 3 (ECMAScript) standard scripting language, with only mild differences from the published standard. Contrary to popular misconception, JavaScript is not &#8220;Interpretive Java&#8221;. In a nutshell, JavaScript is a dynamic scripting language supporting prototype based object construction. The basic syntax is intentionally similar to both Java and C++ to reduce the number of new concepts required to learn the language. Language constructs, such as if statements, for and while loops, and switch and try &#8230; catch blocks function the same as in these languages (or nearly so.) </p>
</blockquote>

<p>Netscape was <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Javascript#Java.2C_JavaScript.2C_and_JScript">not creative enough</a> by picking a confusingly similar name to Java, although there is no relation whatsoever between Java and JavaScript. Probably just to hop along Java&#8217;s popularity at the time. I like the original name, LiveScript, better.</p></li>
<li><p><a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/">Jakarta</a></p>

<blockquote>
  <p>The Jakarta Project offers a diverse set of open source Java solutions and is a part of The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) which encourages a collaborative, consensus-based development process under an open software license.</p>

Komodo offers advanced support for Perl, PHP, Python, Tcl and XSLT, and runs on Linux, Solaris and Windows.</p>

<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Komodo">Komodo</a> is the name of an Indonesian island, popular for the Komodo Dragons which can only be found in just a few places in the world.</p></li>
<li><p><a href="http://kupu.oscom.org/">Kupu</a></p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Kupu is a &#8216;document-centric&#8217; open source client-side editor for
  Mozilla, Netscape and Internet Explorer. Inspired by Maik Jablonski&#8217;s
  Epoz editor, it was written by Paul Everitt, Guido Wesdorp and Philipp
  von Weitershausen (and several other contributors, for a complete list
  refer to the CREDITS.txt file) to improve the JavaScript code and
  architecture, pluggability, standards support, support for other
  webservers than Zope (which was the original target platform for
  Epoz), configurability and a lot of other issues.</p>
