New sound on Joe’s new album

Posted by Early Tokyo

Frankly, it is too late to write this, but how can I say, I have to dealing with all of my work and some my experiments. Therefore to chill out my depression I went to some site that provide about music news.

Right in the last corner on that site, Joe Satriani picture with black shirt standing right and there is a title above his head written “Professor Satchafunkilus And The Musterion Of Rock”

Ever heard once before, but have no chance to search and to listen all songs in that Joe’s new album.

Click on the album icon and jump to its page start to find some reference to get more about this 53 years old musician new album, as we know he is the master of guitar, and 2 of his disciples Steve Vai and Kirk Hammet (Metallica guitarist, formerly Exodus band guitarist) are becomes the ‘god’ of guitar in the world. Joe was listed 10 composition as shown below

1. "Musterion" – 4:37
2. "Overdriver" – 5:06
3. "I Just Wanna Rock" – 3:27
4. "Professor Satchafunkilus" – 4:47
5. "Revelation" – 5:57
6. "Come on Baby" – 5:49
7. "Out of the Sunrise" – 5:43

From all of list above I like Revelation much, its more friendly and the wave of guitar sound can sway me and pump up my imagination through my limit, uhmm… maybe you should came to watch Avatar movie and you’ll understand what I mean.

For me, Joe is always the best…

AIDS, 25 million from 1981 to present

Posted by Early Tokyo

aids

Acquired immune deficiency syndrome or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a disease of the human immune system caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
This condition progressively reduces the effectiveness of the immune system and leaves individuals susceptible to opportunistic infections and tumors. HIV is transmitted through direct contact of a mucous membrane or the bloodstream with a bodily fluid containing HIV, such as blood, semen, vaginal fluid, preseminal fluid, and breast milk.
This transmission can involve anal, vaginal or oral sex, blood transfusion, contaminated hypodermic needles, exchange between mother and baby during pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding or other exposure to one of the above bodily fluids.
AIDS is now a pandemic. In 2007, it was estimated that 33.2 million people lived with the disease worldwide, and that AIDS killed an estimated 2.1 million people, including 330,000 children. Over three-quarters of these deaths occurred in sub-Saharan Africa, retarding economic growth and destroying human capital.
Genetic research indicates that HIV originated in west-central Africa during the late nineteenth or early twentieth century. AIDS was first recognized by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 1981 and its cause, HIV, identified in the early 1980s.
Although treatments for AIDS and HIV can slow the course of the disease, there is currently no vaccine or cure. Antiretroviral treatment reduces both the mortality and the morbidity of HIV infection, but these drugs are expensive and routine access to antiretroviral medication is not available in all countries. Due to the difficulty in treating HIV infection, preventing infection is a key aim in controlling the AIDS pandemic, with health organizations promoting safe sex and needle-exchange programs in attempts to slow the spread of the virus.
AIDS is a mix of infections and complications as a result of progressive damage to the body’s immune system caused by HIV. AIDS is now considered a pandemic.

Posted by Early Tokyo in

I was typed “send me the file, I’ll try to make it up, ok cinta” he he, and someone across of nowhere moan “cinta? wrong address..”, I said “Do I made a mistake if I call ‘cinta’ to my beloved father?”

We talk as we are gay enough for this age, while we are living on the edge, I don’t care what kind of prank we’ve ever made, live is too short right, so what the **ll to worry about….

Ok, so I received the file, she send it to me a few moment after we’ve made that conversation above. Frankly, this is just common situation I’m always have, sometime my colleague or other friends asking me to help them to solve their problem with broken pdf file, they cannot open the file, when their try to open it; the error message popped up and tells “Damage file, cannot be repair”.

Actually, there is a ready tools to fix this mess, but I want to make a little game with the one who want to her files be fixed, so I tell her “it’ll takes long long way to make it up…” he he…

But for just a few click I made it only for 15 second…. oh ya….. just 15 second…. thanks to Advance PDF Repair software….. and if you wish to have the software, you may go to this link

Happy nice fixed day……..

Splited files

Posted by Early Tokyo in

Large file…some photos or hi-res pictures consequences to the large amount of it size, we wont lost any details when we open the picture in the original size, but sometime we need to share it with people, share the great moment were captured in camera, or share picture about beautiful place or things…. whatever….

The problem is coming as we try to upload it to the net, or when we try to send them using our email account. What happen then… it wont move but the error message annoying and bugging us over and over due to too big too fit of the file size….

Some people find the solution, they change the size of the file unto smallest one, and yes he/she succeeded to send them up, but when the file finally received by the receiver, they’ll start to reply “hey, I can’t see your face clearly, it’s too rough or blur, could you please send me the brighter one..” or some kind like that message…

Hmm…. what such a day, when we try to get back with the original size, again, and failed, again, so need my hands to crush your head off…?? he he joking (while I’m still struggle with my headache)

So, human was designed with solver tools in nature, so when we facing something challenging then the sense of encounter was triggered, then human will try to find the better way how to solve their problem.

In this case, we are facing problem with large size of file, then we imagining what about if there is a tool that can break the file into a part?

Mostly people who facing the problem will thinking the same, and some genius start to develop a splitter  program that can split a large file into several part of files.

One of the program namely HJSPLIT

screen2

HJSplit is a popular set of freeware file-splitting programs created by Freebyte.com in collaboration with various programmers. HJSplit supports many platforms (Windows XP, Vista, NT, 2000, 3.x, 95/98/ME, DOS, Amiga, Java, etc.). All versions are compatible with each other and allow you to exchange files between these different platforms. E.g. a file split on the Amiga can be joined on Windows 2000 and vice versa.

And also, HJSplit can join split parts of files back together again, in any platform.

If you wish to download the program, you can go by this link and Its free.

Wrong Encode on word documents

Posted by Early Tokyo in

Four days has passed, and I’m still got headache, weak and lost my appetite. My friend told me it seem I’m losing my weight. It’s been pretty much pain on me beside a hard fever. Every night is like hell, so hot and even I can squeeze my sweaty clothes, in short my condition is not comfort at all till now, the time I write this new post.

Why I’m keep doing this? Because I don’t want some part of my brains not active and death, I don’t want to become a zombie, and also I have promises to my friend, at least to solve his problem, no matter it work or not.

So what is his problems? He said he has downloaded some files in 1 zipped files, so when he extracted them up, he found 2 of them was damaged, when he try to open one of files, an error messages popped up and it said it was wrong location. And another file, the second one, when he tried to open it, its not opened normally instead but the converter box showing on his display, strange.

error1

Frankly, I’m not an expert in this issue, but its really tickled me, so for his first problem I’ve tried to change the default application that can open the file, I use WordPad to open the file and….. wa…la….

Sorry, cannot upload the picture of the results, but if you wish to prove it by yourself, follow this steps:

  1. Open WordPad (Click Start, All Program, Accessories, WordPad)
  2. Click Open and in the Files of Type column chose All Documents and browse the desire file you wish to open.

Now you can see the file is open, but you can also find so many strange characters come along with the text, just ignore it, you don’t need that, but you can block all necessaries text you want, highlight them and copy and then paste them in Word text area (first you should open Word application to do it)

And for the second issue, when you open the file, you’ll see there is some option in converter box, choose WINDOWS (default), and click OK, now you can see opened file with much of machine character, just scroll down and find the desire text you wish to crop, take and paste them in new worksheet in word.

Maybe this is too short, but I have limitation and enough suffer in my head to get this workout……

 

keep your health….

Slow cheetah (by RHCP)

Posted by Early Tokyo in

Wasting time by surfing on net, and suddenly I miss with one of my favorite band, Red Hot Chili Peppers.

A few days ago I’ve heard theirs song, one of a good song to be my great list for their song titled Slow cheetah, this song tells about a man (Anthony, the vocalist, perhaps) trying to get out from his addiction of drugs, but could not get out from it, you may check the first line of its lyrics which said:

Waking up dead, inside of my head
Would never, never do, there is no med
No medicine to take”

Anthony try to send his message to his listener how hard he had been tried to get some help to pulling him from his addiction but there is no one or nothing can help him (there is no med, no medicine to take).

And so many words in that song, could be much have more interpretations for it, but the closest to the meaning of the lyrics is as I wrote above. And here the complete lyrics of this slow rock song:

SLOW CHEETAH  slow cheetah

Waking up dead, inside of my head
Would never, never do, there is no med
No medicine to take
I’ve had a chance to be insane
Asylum from the falling rain
I’ve had a chance to break
It’s so bad, it’s got to be good
Mysterious girl misunderstood
Dressed like a wedding cake
Any other day and I might play
A funeral march for Bonnie Bray
Why try and run away?

Slow cheetah come before my forest,
Look like it's on today
Slow cheetah come, it's so euphoric,
No matter what they say

I know a girl, she worked in a store
She knew not what her life was for
She barely knew her name
They tried to tell her she would never be
As happy as a girl in a magazine
She bought it with her pay

Slow cheetah come before my forest,
Look like it's on today
Slow cheetah come, it's so euphoric,
No matter what they say

Everyone has so much to say
They talk, talk, talk their lives away
Don’t even hesitate
Walking on down to the burial ground
It’s a very old dance with a merry old sound
Looks like its on today

Slow cheetah come before my forest,
Look like it's on today
Slow cheetah come, it's so euphoric,
No matter what they say

Slow cheetah come before my forest,
Look like it's on today
Slow cheetah come, it's so euphoric,
No matter what they say

And some said the words “Slow Cheetah”, is to figure a drug dealer or a bimbo whose sale drugs, it could be true since we can find a metaphor “Look like it’s on today” which is mean “I have a new customer” and usually use in among of junkies.

I’ve confused with word “bonnie brae”, I have no idea at all what is Anthony point to…. Thanks to Google, I’ve found it and it was a place which providing services of therapeutic learning environments for troubled adolescent boys who have been neglected, abused, or abandoned. While bonnie brae meaning a ‘pretty hill’ in Scottish.

Flea (the bassist), very much like to this song, and I agree with him, this is the good song…

Activating wireless LAN on Notebook

Posted by Early Tokyo

Sit down and surfing on net while there is nothing to do, while I’m looking for movie references  of G.I. Joe: Rising of the Cobra, my cell phone vibrating and my friend Subkhan Yusuf wrote a question, is that any setting on notebook if we wish to using internet on public hotspot.

I re-write to him and answer “please go to my blog”. Well there is another new topic to upload here, finally.

There is no special setting if we want to activating wireless LAN on notebook, in some new notebook, there is a small switch at side or front of notebook, Sony Vaio laptop has it in front of it near the touchpad.

switch wireless

You just have to switch it ‘on’ and then you will see an indicator will light up as shown below

image

Until this step you’ve done, now we must take a look to the signal status, there is common signal status indicators which said : Very Poor (very weak), Poor (Weak), Good, Very Good, and Excellent.

And you have to take a look, again, to the connection status, usually the administrator of hotspot area will set the tcp/ip with DHCP instead of static, since the area is for public area. Don not try to set your tcp/ip configuration into static ip, unless you are an expert or you are so close or even you are is administrator mate or even husband/wife ha… ha…. Oh go on

See picture below

image

Ok, you have to right click to the wireless lan indicator, and choose STATUS

image

Now you’ll something like this image

image

Click on tab SUPPORT

and will showing display as below

image

If you can see any ip address on it, now you must click REPAIR button, let the computer find the ip address provide by DHCP server on hotspot area. When your laptop received new ip address it will showing in IP Addres section complete with it subnet mask, as shown in picture below

image

And don’t forget to check is the DEFAULT GATEWAY was filed in the ip configuration, if there is nothing in default gateway section, you will never can connected to the net, to solve this problem, simple, push the repair button again.

What about if the problem persist?

Well, the better way is you go the administrator, ask him/her to help you, and if he resist, ask your father or your mother to bite the administrator… he….he…. i believe he/she will not resist anymore ha..ha…ha…. DevilBig GrinDevil

Happy nice surf…..

ps: don’t forget, if you wish to switch it on or off without sliding the switch button, you may press ‘Fn’ key + F5 (or function key with signal tower symbol)

Boost up your Windows XP

Posted by Early Tokyo in

Getting tired when your Windows XP slowing down? It was not just happened to you, but all of computer user with MS Windows XP platform.

Here is some tricks to give your computer “spirit” to make it a little power it up, just follow the guide below

speed

DISABLE INDEXING SERVICES

Indexing Services is a small little program that uses large amounts of RAM and can often make a computer endlessly loud and noisy. This system process indexes and updates lists of all the files that are on your computer. It does this so that when you do a search for something on your computer, it will search faster by scanning the index lists. If you don’t search your computer often, or even if you do search often, this system service is completely unnecessary. To disable do the following:

1. Go to Start
2. Click Settings
3. Click Control Panel
4. Double-click Add/Remove Programs
5. Click the Add/Remove Window Components
6. Uncheck the Indexing services
7. Click Next

DISABLE UNNECESSARY SERVICES

Because Windows XP has to be all things to all people it has many services running that take up system resources that you will never need. Below is a list of services that can be disabled on most machines:

Alerter
Clipbook
Computer Browser
Distributed Link Tracking Client
Fast User Switching
Help and Support - (If you use Windows Help and Support leave this enabled)
Human Interface Access Devices
Indexing Service
IPSEC Services
Messenger
Netmeeting Remote Desktop Sharing (disabled for extra security)
Portable Media Serial Number
Remote Desktop Help Session Manager (disabled for extra security)
Remote Procedure Call Locator
Remote Registry (disabled for extra security)
Remote Registry Service
Secondary Logon
Routing & Remote Access (disabled for extra security)
Server
SSDP Discovery Service
TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper
Upload Manager
Universal Plug and Play Device Host
Windows Time
Wireless Zero Configuration (Do not disable if you use a wireless network)
Workstation
To disable these services:

Go to Start and then Run and type “services.msc”
Double click on the service you want to change
Change the startup type to ‘Disable”

IMPROVE BOOT TIMES

A great new feature in Mcft Windows XP is the ability to do a boot defragment. This places all boot files next to each other on the disk to allow for faster booting. By default this option in enables but on some builds it is not so below is how to turn it on.

Go to Start Menu and Click Run
Type in “Regedit” then click ok
Find “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\M icrosoft\Dfrg\BootOpt imizeFunction”
Select “Enable” from the list on the right
Right on it and select “Modify”
Change the value to “Y to enable”
Reboot

IMPROVE SWAPFILE PERFORMANCE

If you have more than 256MB of RAM this tweak will considerably improve your performance. It basically makes sure that your PC uses every last drop of memory (faster than swap file) before it starts using the swap file.

Go to Start then Run
Type “msconfig.exe” then ok
Click on the System.ini tab
Expand the 386enh tab by clicking on the plus sign
Click on new then in the blank box type”ConservativeSwapfileUsage =1″
Click OK
Restart PC

Peace Sign

Gempa lagi, tafakurlah

Posted by Early Tokyo in

Apabila bumi digoncangkan dengan goncangan yang dahsyat…….
(Q.S. Al-Zalzalah (99):1)

clip_image002

Selang sekitar 12 menit lalu sebelum tulisan ini dibuat, tepatnya tanggal 2 September 2009 jam 14:55, kita semua, terutama di wilayah jawa, merasakan guncangan yang cukup membuat kepala sedikit pening, terlah terjadi gerakan di bagian bawah bumi dan efek pergeseran tersebut menimbulkan gelombang getar yang kita rasakan sebagai gempa.

Diketahui bahwa pusat gempa berada di Pangandaran, Tasikmalaya, Jawa Barat, di kedalaman 30 Km dibawah permukaan laut dan berpotensi tsunami.

Kita semua berdoa dengan penuh harap agar jangan sampai lagi terulang tragedi tsunami yang pernah menerpa bangsa ini hingga menimbulkan jutaan korban jiwa.

Namun dari sini kita patut bertafakur, sungguh kejadian itu berlaku begitu cepat, tanpa kita sadari, dan hingga saat ini belum ada satu tehnologipun yang mampu meramalkan kapan tepatnya gempa akan berlaku.

Begitu sangat cepatnya, seperti yang baru saja kita alami, kita hanya mampu mempercepat langkah untuk mencari tempat aman, sementara kita bisa melihat benda-benda disekitar kita bergoyang-goyang dan terkadang ada yang bergeser dari tempatnya semula.

Walaupun kita dibekali dengan akal dan naluri, namun kekuatan dahsyat ini tidak bisa kita hindari, bahkan insting binatang yang lebih peka (beberapa saat sebelum terjadi gempa, burung dalam sangkar kelihatan resah dan meloncat-loncat tidak seperti biasanya) pun tidak sanggup untuk menghindar, jika kita cermati dengan seksama, ketika gempa terjadi, hampir semua burung tidak melakukan penerbangan, mereka lebih cenderung diam atau hanya melompat dari dahan satu ke dahan lainnya, namun mereka berusaha menghindari untuk terbang..

Dibandingkan binatang-binatang itu, kita tidak memliki kelebihan naluri tersebut, namun jika kita mau mencermati sekilas saja perilaku mereka maka kita akan menyadari ada sesuatu hal yang tidak beres atau yang akan terjadi, dan beberapa tanda-tanda alam lainnya, namun sungguh kebanyakan kita terlalu tak perduli dengan hal itu.

Mungkin ini terjadi pada anda, disaat anda sedang tertawa, atau anda bahkan sedang menggunjing bahkan mungkin anda sedang melakukan hal yang dilarang dilakukan, maka sekejap itu anda akan berteriak ngeri dan lari berusaha menyelamatkan diri, Lihat apa yang terjadi, dan lihatlah kembali perubahan yang hanya berlaku dalam hitungan detik dengan perilaku anda ketika gempa itu datang.

Jika saja kita diberi naluri kuat seperti burung-burung itu, tentulah kita akan berdoa dan menghentikan hal-hal yang tidak senonoh yang sedang dilakukan dan kemudian bertaubat seketika itu juga.

Apakah kita berpikir mengapa kita hanya diberi kemampuan demikian?

Karena Sang Kholiq menginginkan agar kita selalu dalam keadaan siap kapanpun jika maut menjemput, siap dalam setiap waktu kita dalam keadaan yang tidak tercela, selalu ingat kepada-Nya dan agar kita selalu menghindar dari perbuatan-perbuatan yang dimurkai-Nya.

Apabila bumi digoncangkan dengan goncangan (yang dahsyat), dan bumi telah mengeluarkan beban-beban berat (yang dikandung)nya, dan manusia bertanya: "Mengapa bumi (menjadi begini)?", pada hari itu bumi menceritakan beritanya, karena sesungguhnya Tuhanmu telah memerintahkan (yang sedemikian itu) kepadanya. (Q.S. Al-Zalzalah (99):1-5)

Cobaan Allah melalui peristiwa gempa bumi menjadikan orang sadar akan kesalahannya dan lantas ia bertaubat dan kembali kepada jalan yang benar. Ada pula yang malah semakin jauh dari Allah atau mempersekutukan-Nya. Hal ini tergantung kepada cara ia menerima cobaan itu, sifat dan wataknya, pertimbangan dan pikirannya serta ikhtiar dan usaha manusia sesuai dengan kodrat yang diberikan oleh Allah kepadanya.

Hikmah lain dari peristiwa gempa bumi adalah bahwa kita sebaiknya mempelajari tentang fenomena gempa karena peristiwa ini sering menyebabkan bencana yang menelan korban jiwa dan luka-luka, sehingga kita perlu mengetahui apa yang mesti dilakukan sebelum, selama, dan setelah terjadinya gempa (mitigasi, kesiapan, tanggapan, dan pemulihan). Wallahua’lam

New Trojan Remover

Posted by Early Tokyo in ,

troy

Trojan, taken from Greek mythology war  between Spartan and Troy.

The war began when Paris of Troy stole Helen from her husband Menelaus

As the King or Sparta, Menelaus with his anger, moved his trooped and besieged the city for almost 10 years. After several death of heroes including Achilles, Ajax and Trojans Hector and Paris, the city fell to the ruse of Trojan Horse. The Achaeans slaughtered the Trojans (except for some of the women and children whom they kept or sold as slaves) and desecrated the temples, thus earning the gods' wrath. Few of the Achaeans returned safely to their homes and many founded colonies in distant shores. The Romans later traced their origin to Aeneas, one of the Trojans, who was said to have led the surviving Trojans to modern day Italy.

Based on this story, the technique was adapted to attack victim computer as Trojan Horse statue did, they hide some soldier inside the statue and after the statue get inside of the city, the hidden soldier emerged and do the surprising attack, open the gate to the Greek army, and made massive attack the city of Troy. The same way was programmed to this virus, they look like friendly, and when they get inside of the system they will start to attack and trying to open some ports.

Hijacked web browser, annoying, and the solution is…

Posted by Early Tokyo in

hijacked

Back from my nap, during Ramadhlan we’ve use to spend our resting time to take a nap after take a dzuhur pray. Yes we are in fasting month right now.

So I open my mail to check new message, and there is one coming from my very friend, Subkhan Yusuf, again (sorry I’ve miss 1 letter “K” on your name in my previous post), he say thanks for the solution and asking when I will write the next cases, okay, then I go to my blog, I see 1 comment and sure it coming from him too.

Okay, I trying to gather up my conciseness, uhmm ya I have a little problem with my head lately, I’ve got dizzy but still can thinking, I admitted I can’t think fast as usual, and sometime I’m forget for what I have to say just like that.

And I’m done with it, yes, my friend problem is he unable to make his browser go to his desire address, instead of that the browser always take him to YAHOOJ and it become an annoying matter. Just like us when we asking someone where is direction to post office, again and again he or she always take us to meatball hut, what such a day….

This behavior is out of control, since there is something driving the browser to the master of driver program, someone who made the “driver” is want to take his victim always come to his sites or whatever he/she want to, this action known as HIJACKING, and the victim calls HIJACKED.

What is benefits for doing this?

Well, let says, we know the internet marketing is the most very option for cash machine nowadays, and there are tons of type kind of business, let say: pay per click, pay per visit, read get paid, paid surveys etc,  even the business is just collecting less then $1 /action but people try to collecting as much as they can, so how to make it fast?

Some people said “There are a thousand way to rome” (for moslem the right words is become “there are a thousand way to mecca”, I guest), so why don’t we do a little trick  here, we create some scripts or a little demon program and spread it to the wide network and the program will force the victim to do all what we want. That’s it….. cruel huh…

Okay, I’ll stop this boring conversation, lets go down to the point.

This problem can be solved by removing the scripts or the demon programs, we always call it virus, worm, spyware or anything spooky in computer worlds.

To doing this, there is a program that can remove the annoying program call tfinstall, it has size about 8.2 Mb, and you may download it here 

Once it downloaded, extract the compressed program (the file is in .rar format, you need winrar to extract them) to the folder you desire and install it to your computer, follow the steps and hope your annoying day will end up with this software.

Happy nice day…. Dancing

 

Uninstall Deep Freeze, how to

Posted by Early Tokyo in

deep freeze I just put myself on my chairs, when my cell phone vibrating, yes I make it silent during working hours, to avoid noises in our environments.

My friend, Subhan Yusuf, sent his messages and he asking me how to remove deep freeze software from his system, well…. I never use this software before, since there are so many hearsay told this software made a lots of trouble, but still I have to follows all of the update, how its work, and how to remove it.

By the way, he asked me not just one question, and the other one is he complaining of his computer behavior, when he try to put GOOGLE on his browser address bar (he didn’t mentioned what browser he using when the action have been take), but he will directed to YAHOO instead…. okay, this is an issue, but I will write the solution in another post.

Let’s get back to the main problem, how to uninstall Deep Freeze, I will make it as shortly as I can…..

  1. Press SHIFT key and then double click on deep freeze icon, another way is press CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+F6.
  2. Insert your password, click OK (if you never put any password before, you may straight to push OK button)
  3. When boot option comes up, choose BOOT THAWED, click OK, this step will deactivated deep freeze in the next reboot
  4. Reboot your computer, after reboot process, you may uninstall deep freeze out of you computer
  5. Make sure you have installation file of deep freeze in your computer, locate them and run it by double clicking on it
  6. Select the option to UNINSTALL

This is the common solution, if there is something wrong and it could not get removed from the system, it mean there is a malfunction software due to violated programs or virus attack, I’m not sure, how to fix this problem? I think the only way is by brute force, there is 2 ways to do this, first, you may removed all registry related to the software, this action can be take after you remove or disabled deep freeze password, and the best way to removing all related registry is in SAFE MODE, you can go to menu START, RUN, type CMD and hit ENTER

cprompt

type REGEDIT, hit ENTER and you can see display like this

regedit

Now you can choose EDIT, FIND and type the keyword to begin searching the files i.e. DEEP FREEZE, when you can see the list of file, you can start to remove them one by one, and after that you can press F3 to find next file, be careful for all steps, if you are not sure for what you do, then consider to using the final way, RE INSTALL YOUR COMPUTER, of course after you back up all necessary files.

Good luck

Death....

Posted by Early Tokyo

We were live in this world and the time is ticking while we are never pay attention to the sense of life itself, don't we ever realized if we are getting close to the death while we always celebrating our birthdays and said “today I have 1 more day in my life..”, too shame...too shame.... on us...

Alloh SWT in says : Every soul is to taste death, then you shall return to Us”, this ayat is taken from surah Al Ankabut : 57.

This is words of Alloh SWT The Mighty The Merciful, His promises is true, all of the living thing will facing the death, no matter what degree we have, education, wealth, poor, rich, handsome, beautiful, hero, villain, anything... the death will come across and no such any delay, if the time is come, then it is.

Unfortunately, most of people didn't care about this, mostly they see this is just coincident matter, the death is just common and just the business as usual. But we never learn what is behind of death is (was), and we are always avoiding to thinking and talking about death. Nowadays, we were trying makes ourself busy with all of future plan for living (in this world, not hereafter), we're busy with all contrary things with death, everything is about wealthiness, where and what prestige university for college, which company I'll choose to have big best income, where is the best place for laying down to spent upon weekend.

There is nothing wrong with all of mentioned above, it's all is right, but... we must compare, when we take a seriously to make a plans for such temporary living in this earth, so why don't we think more seriously with live hereafter, and before that, we must facing the death first. We might says “I want to live for next 1000 years”, in fact we never know what will happen in the next minutes.

Say: “The death from which ye flee will truly overtake you, then will ye be sent back to the Knower of things secret and open and He will tell you (the truth of) the the things that ye did!” Surah Al Jumu'ah : 8

It's begin, when we are releasing our last breath, and then we are just a flesh and bones without soul, and it turn into rotten body, disgusting death meat, and no one want to get close but worm and dirt does. Do we ever thing about it? In the last second?

We might said “what for? For what? It's such boring and thriller that freaks out people...”

Yes, thats right, but the death is true, why?

Thing about this....

How many times you've made lie to people and you never make even one single apologize but make it the right things even you know it was evil?

How many times you hurt someone or anyone and you never feel guilty even say “I'm sorry” is become the hardest thing because you are a proud person?

How much you've spent your wealths to help poor people? Beggar?

How many times you've honored your mother/father and say a pray them to proves that yu love them with wish they'll will in the jannah but in other hands you makes others hurt?

How many lies you've committed to Alloh SWT while you swore under His name and you never made any taubatan nasuha till this second you read this?

How many time you've challenge the death with consuming any forbidden food and liquids while you are swore that you are a moslem?

And how you will facing the death itself?

Do you will keep on all of that things in the front of His judgment while you never make it up while you living on earth?

Almost people thing like this, I'll make a taubah when my age is getting close to the end and when I can't do anything else but pray”, but brother and sister.... once again we must consider this, do we know what will happen to us in the next minutes, hours, day, week, years..... do we know when Izrail do his job to us?

If you do, then you equal to Alloh SWT, while His angels, His messenger, the most closest and beloved messenger Muhammad PBUH, never know when it will come. But once again, Alloh promises is the true promises.


Say: "Running away will not profit you if ye are running away from death or slaughter; and even if (ye do escape), no more than a brief (respite) will ye be allowed to enjoy!" Al Ahzab : 16


In other words, you can run but you can't hide from the death..........


Wallohu alam bishowab.....

Dream Theater, new album: Black Clouds & Silver Linings

Posted by Early Tokyo in

 Sit back and relax after finish all of my activity today, grabs my mp3 player and start to push the play button. Growl of James Hetfield voices (lvocal and lead/hythm guitar Metallica) fresh up my tired body and my soul with his speed metal music... hmmm such a weirdo for you huh... thats my way to get relax, while the clock show 11:13 PM on it.
A little about James Hetfield, since the day when my brother introduce me to Megadeth, I was found something different on my beat, yes, during that time I was a guitar player for my band, and then I'll trying to seek another similar band with Megadeth, then my drumer show his brother, the elder, collection, he gave me some album from Mettalica with its title 'Ride The Ligtning' and another one with title '...and Justice For All'.
I've found the similar beat between Dave Mustaine and James Hetfield on their guitar technique, although I was not know yet if Dave was a former of Metallica lead guitarist.
Trully, I rather choose Metallica instead, since their music is much colorfull with sound, especially for the drum, the beat is waving and sometime the sound like jumping around, but still have harmony with others instruments. It was on 1990.
While Dave move forward with his 'Family Tree', one of his song on his album 'Youthanasia", James and other band members gave us '..and Justice For all...", those two songs brought me to new wave of my appreciation to metal music.
In the 2007, when Metallica getting 'soft' on their music, and my age is give its influence to my appetite :), I'm try to heard another band, from some band and musician I've heard, I choose 1 musician and 1 band.
The great musician that I like is Joe Satriani, one of the Master of Guitars, beside there is another guitar player with strange weird technique called Steve Vai (try find his killer song 'For the love of God'), Joe is more skilled in his fingering and sound color. Most of guitaris in the world trying to adapt his technique, and the one who lucky to become his student is Kirk Hammet, lead guitarist of Metallica, he was absolutely adapt of his master technique, almost of his guitar sound always using pooh waw effect as Joe does.
And the band that I've choosed is Dream Theater, their classic, progressive and artistic composition was gave me another influence on my technique, but still I will not and ever can have the same with Joe Petruci (lead guitar) ha...ha.... my finger is too hard to knock off strings...
Systematic Chaos, one of my favorite album from them which contains some of they sopicated songs Octarium, Learning to live, In the name of god, and now I'm still waiting for their new album Black Clouds & Silver Linings.
I've heard, this album is have not much difference with systematic chaos, and some review says they tend to slow on their composition and adapt a little gothic, in other words a little bit boring, and the shortest duration on their songs is take about 13 minutes, what a long way to crash my ears :)
However I'm still waiting and will buy their new album, for 3 CD for 1 album, I thing its worth enough to have them...

The truth behind Wolverine

Posted by Early Tokyo in

wolverine A few weeks ago, my friend invited me to join her to watch new movie at theatre. Frankly, I was happy when I know we’ll buy a couple tickets for X-Men Origin = Wolverine, the most ambiguous but powerful character among the mutant in X-Mansion which developed by Professor-X, he was my hero even when I was a child, his tremendous adamantium claws that can be lengthen and hidden whenever he want, was amazed me and hopefully that claws would be mine he… he… please don’t laugh at me, it was childish dream, don’t you ever have the same dream when you were a child… so laugh on yourself please!

In fact, Wolverine/Logan character is not so that powerful, I rate his power is in the second level among the mutants, but the special power from this character is he, possesses the regenerating power, when he shoot, burnt or even cut, he will regenerate all of his tissue completely, and this character is immortal, in fact he can die when his head chopped from his body, and only William Stryker and Sabre tooth/Victor Creed who knows his weakness.

You know, the character makes me wonder, why the creator of the character has chosen name WOLVERINE instead of WOLF, so many years passing by and till the day of X-Men Origin has come, I trying to figure out who and what the wolverine is… and I found it, but before I was mixed out mind and misunderstand about wolverine and wolf, I think it just the same creatures, until today when I have a spare times and open my browser to find out what it was, then I found the mythical little cute beast… why I say beast, yes it is, it’s a beast with small size, see the picture below

wolverine-animal

I think, why the Marvel founder has choose this animal for Logan name, Wolverine, because this animal is solitary mammal as Logan did, and also for its strength, especially it claws that can be break it prey bones. Wolverine (the animal) is a "cruiser", the ability to move for hundred miles from its origin was proved that this animal is roamer or wanderer animals.

This is the real Wolverine, the creature that we can only find in California, USA.

The wolverine (Gulo gulo, also occasionally called Glutton or Carcajou) is the largest land-dwelling species of the Mustelidae (weasel) family in the genus Gulo (Latin: "glutton"). It is a stocky and muscular carnivore, resembling a small bear more than other mustelids. The wolverine has a reputation for ferocity and strength out of proportion to its size, with the documented ability to kill prey many times it size.

The wolverine is distributed primarily in remote reaches of the Northern boreal forests and subarctic and alpine tundra of the Northern hemisphere, with the greatest numbers in Alaska, Canada, the Nordic countries of Europe and throughout western Russia and Siberia. Their populations have experienced a steady decline since the 19th century in the face of trapping, range reduction and habitat fragmentation, such that they are essentially absent in the southern end of their European range and are quite rare in the continental United States

Anatomically, the wolverine is a stocky and muscular animal. With short legs, broad and rounded head, and small eyes with short rounded ears, it resembles a bear more than other mustelids. Their legs are short, while its large five-toed paws and plantigrade posture facilitate movement through deep snow.[5]

The adult wolverine is about the size of a medium dog, with a length usually ranging from 65 – 87 cm (25 – 34 inches), a tail of 17 – 26 cm (7 – 10 inches), and a weight of 10-25 kg (22 – 55 lb), though exceptionally large males can weigh over 31 kg (70 lb).[6] The males are as much as 30 percent larger than the females. It is the largest of terrestrial mustelids; only the marine dwelling sea otter and giant otter are larger.

Wolverines have thick, dark, oily fur which is highly hydrophobic, making it resistant to frost. This has led to its traditional popularity among hunters and trappers as a lining in jackets and parkas in Arctic conditions. A light silvery facial mask is distinct in some individuals, and a pale buff stripe runs laterally from the shoulders along the side and crossing the rump just above a 25-35 cm bushy tail. Some individuals display prominent white hair patches on the throat or chest.[5]

Like many other mustelids, it has potent anal scent glands used for marking territory and sexual signalling. The pungent odor has given rise to the nicknames "skunk bear" and "nasty cat." Wolverines, like other mustelids, possess a special upper molar in the back of the mouth that is rotated 90 degrees, towards the inside of the mouth. This special characteristic allows wolverines to tear off meat from prey or carrion that has been frozen solid

This animal is solitary creatures, and some of myth tells that it was descendant of evil himself, and one rumors said a farmer ever seen the big bear was killed by this small evil, do you believe it?

Still, Wolverine is my hero, you want to laugh on me… be my guest…

Continuous Ink Flow System, I did it again…

Posted by Early Tokyo in

dE Ja vU….. this words, French made that words became familiar with us, past and present and I believed it still in the future, but I’ve read from wiki, it said, or also called paramnesia, taken from Greek, “para” which it’s meaning “near” and “mneme” which it’s meaning “memory”.

So what is relation from dejavu and continuous ink flow system?

If you tracking down my earliest post, I’ve write about my tricks for old Canon printers… just find it by yourselves will you…..

A few weeks ago, our fax machine running out of its ink, and its cartridge was BC-20… oh dear…. BC-20… nightmare… why? Canon did not produce it anymore…. and then our boss yell out from his aquarium, he “barks” (hi.hi sorry boss) “somebody! get me incoming fax please!, and our sweet front office girls replied “sorry pak, there is nothing…”.

You know, my boss is kind of out of passion type, he didn’t say anything and get up to get his mail. But, as the girl said, it’s nothing!

'’Are you keep the replacement?” he shout at me (I was in the next room, but everybody can see me clear through the glass of window).

“Nope” I shake my head. “Okay then ask…. (he mentioned our driver name) to buy it! Quick!”

I tell him, the cartridge was discontinue, and we cannot find it in any store. But he won’t believed!

Okay, no comment 4 this, and I’m not care too much to that silly machine anyway.

Days passes by, and then here goes the 4th week! and that machine still breathing without its ink, poor baby….

And… wa la….. my boss come to my desk, while I was struggling with numbers… his mucky face right on my face, and…. “why you keep your secret from me huh?”

“what secret?”

“damn…. you can make the death back to live, and you’re not telling me”

Shocked and feels like ride the lightning, what the h**l, am I one of magician or illuminus (read: Angel and Demons, Dan Brown), is he out of his mind.

“No, stupid! I mean, you can do your trick to old printer, and it has the same problem with ours, the cartridge you moron!”

Guys, me and my boss so close, and I never care for all what he said. Oh… I see….., Okay…

“Just gimme 100.000, I’ll make it run for you!”

He draw out his wallet, and slapped me with 100.000, and at the end….. ah I’m not going to tell all of process, just enjoy the picture, I prefer answer from email than I have to write a long long story here, beside, there is nothing to above, and nothing on above, and do you give attention anyway? I don’t think so….

So here is goes the pictures….

Fax with CIS1

Fax with CIS2

Close

Close 2

Fax with CIS3

And our boss never call me “moron” anymore, when I pulled my bike on parking yard, he came over, and 5 sheets of 100.000 was moved to my pocket from his bare own hand, and he said…. you’ve made it…

Alhamdulillah……

The miracle of fingerprint

Posted by Early Tokyo

bismi16

Some scientist have found that an Egyptian mummy that has been embalmed ages ago, still have its fingerprints very clear and unchanged.

What fingerprint is? And what the purpose of the creation of fingerprint?

As the Moslem, we have guided by Alloh SWT through His words which write down as book called Qur’an or Furqan. For two question above, we can clearly found what Alloh SWT  says where is mentioned about fingerprint and the purpose of it, let see…

“I do call to witness the Resurrection Day; And I do call to witness the self reproaching spirit (eschew Evil)”

“Does man think that We cannot assemble his bones?”

“Nay, We are able to put together in perfect order the very tips of his fingers”

“But man wishes to do wrong (even) in the time in front of him”

(Q.S. Al Qiyamah, verse 1,2,3,4)

kirlian-fingerprints

 

In mentioned of this verses, it was sent down since the disbelievers denies the ability of Alloh SWT to give life back to the dead and to assemble their bones. So Alloh SWT replied through His word which put on His messenger Muhammad SAW, that He is able to recreate the very small finger tips and organize and structure them, so He is surely able to recreate much bigger things.

Now, we are where live in present live, we can see the useful of fingerprints, every human being, including identical twins, has a particular fingerprint. Therefore individuals can be identified according to their fingerprints, and now we have DNA system used nowadays.

Is fingerprint can be removed or changed? According to one of the article at www.suite101.com it says:

This fingerprint is unique, cannot be changed, can be use for identification.

And also known that the Chinese using fingerprint to sign documents at about 1000 BCE.

So what makes them individual unique? It’s the number, location and shape of the specific ridges.

So it cannot be changed, absolutely, except if our flesh on our hands are completely removed, then our body have no ability to redevelop of skin. But it’s not the form of transformation or change. If we wish to change the shape, location and number of the specific ridges, then we are just do the useless thing.

A year later In 1893 the Scottish consul, Edward Henry has set up an easy system to collect and organize the fingerprints of people. He suggested that a finger print could be classified as one of eight types and he considered that the ten fingerprints of the hand are the whole unit to identify a person. In the same year the fingerprints were introduced in Scotland police offices as a direct and a very strong proof.

Since discovering the fingerprints scientists have carried many studies and experiments in different races of people and no resemblances have been found

The fingerprints are essential for detecting a person in spite his refusal to admit the truth. And even if a the appearance of a person changes due to age, an illness, a surgery or an accident , it is possible to identify him by referring to the fingerprints.

That's why Allah has said in a verse of the Quran:

“On the Day when their tongues, their hands, and their feet will bear witness against them as to their actions” Q.S. An Nur verse 24)

And maybe the hands and legs of the sinners will witness on the day of judgment, due to the fingerprints left on the places where the sins were committed.

When the disbelievers in Mecca have denied the existence of the day of judgment, and refused to accept the power of Allah and his ability to send them back after there death and to gather there bones, Allah has answered that he is not just able to reform there bones but also to recreate there fingerprints, this small part of the human body which identifies its carrier and allow us to differentiate between individuals under any circumstances. All this was proven by scientific experiments in the end of the 19th century.

fp

Alloh SWT says “Soon we will show them Our Signs in the (furthest) regions (of the earth), and in their own souls, until it becomes manifest to them that this is the Truth. Is it not enough that thy Lord doth witness all things?” (Q.S. Fussilat verse 53)

Black Widow, dangerous & poisonous eight legged

Posted by Early Tokyo in

Almost, not all,  people thing that spider is just the same with another insects, bug…. as we always thought the shrimps is one of kind of fish!

Why we think on that way? because our head, our mind, and our eyes has been deceived. Oh yea…. sure, I’ll make sure to all of us, there is nothing so important in this world more than “what’s your brain say so”.

And then here goes the facts that makes you think all of your knowledge, our knowledge is beyond, far away that you thought it was enough. Think twice that we are the most full with knowledge creatures on earth… in your dream….

Lets go down to the topic, what Arachnid is, Arachnids are a class (Arachnida) of joint-legged invertebrate animals in the subphylum Chelicerata. All arachnids have eight legs, but some exceptions are of some species having the first pair legs convert to sensory function and harvest mite larvae have only 3 pairs of legs. The term arachnid is from the Greek word άράχνη or arachne, meaning spider, and also referring to the mythological figure Arachne.

black widow

scorpion Arachnids are chiefly terrestrial arachnidss, but are also found in freshwater and, with the exception of the pelagic zone, in all marine environments. They comprise over 100,000 named species, including spiders, scorpions, harvestmen, ticks, and mites.

As we can see 2 figures above, there are two kind of arachnid, figure number 1 is the most venomous spider in the world, even the famous rattlesnake can not compare with it toxic venom.

Let’s see the curious facts about BLACK WIDOW spider

  1. Black Widow is considered the most venomous spider in North America. In this case not just in America, but in the world
  2. The venom of the black widow spider is 15 times as toxic as the venom of the prairie rattlesnake.
  3. This one is one of interesting matter, only the female Black Widow is dangerous to humans; males and juveniles are harmless.
  4. And another cruelly scary habits of black widow is the female Black Widow will, on occasion, kill and eat the male after they mate. This is bizarre behavior.

What we can learn from this creatures? Well we might says, be careful to female creatures, especially widow ha ha…. joking…. (if you think so)

Cheers…

Ridhlo Alloh......

Posted by Early Tokyo

Kita sering mendengar kata "Jika ini berhasil, maka ini adalah karena Alloh ridhlo pada apa yang kita lakukan" atau "apa yang menjadi rencana kita jika Alloh ridhlo maka akan berhasil".
Hal diatas sangat disetujui, 100%, no doubt, bisa diterima.... namun..... apakah semua keberhasilan dari apa yang direncanakan bahwa itu merupakan bentuk ridhlo dari Alloh?

Merenung... coba memahami, dan suatu hal yang mengganggu muncul, jika benar bahwa suatu keberhasilan usaha merupakan karunia dan karena ridhlo Alloh SWT, maka apakah rencana seorang maling atau perampok yang sekian lama merencanakan operasinya dan kemudian berhasil, maka keberhasilan maling atau perampok itu karena ridhlo Alloh SWT?

Rasanya sukar diterima, dari sisi manapun hal itu tidak bisa diterima, kenapa? karena Alloh SWT adalah sumber dari segala sumber kebaikan, mustahil Alloh SWT meridhloi tindakan yang bertentangan dengan perintah-Nya yang melarang tindakan kejahatan seperti tersebut diatas.

Lalu, maksud dari ridhlo dari-Nya itu bagaimana?

Ini hemat saya pribadi, jika salah atau ada yang memiliki ilmu yang lebih mohon diberikan pencerahan, bahwasanya Alloh SWT "memberikan pilihan", choice, option, bahwa jalan ini adalah benar dan jalan itu adalah salah, silahkan mau ambil yang mana dan lakukan "sebaik" mungkin, jika kita mengambil jalan yang benar dan dengan perencanaan yang baik dan kemudian berhasil, maka Alloh SWT akan memberikan kita reward ganda berupa nikmat keberhasilan atas usahanya dan amal kebaikan yang akan berujung pada jannah, dan tentu saja dalam hal in Alloh SWT menjamin keridhloaan-Nya, dan jika kita memilih jalan yang salah dan dengan perencanaan yang baik dan kemudian berhasil, maka keberhasilan itu dipersilahkan dinikmati selama di dunia, namun Alloh SWT sudah memberikan ancaman-Nya bahwa kelak akan ada perhitungan di yaumul hisab.

Jadi mengenai suatu rencana yang baik kemudian berhasil atau tidaknya, bukan melulu karena Alloh SWT ridhlo atau tidak pada rencana tersebut, namun tergantung dari niat dan seberapa keras usaha yang dilakukan, mengapa demikian? Alloh SWT menjanjikan bahwa niat baik sudah dihitung dalam amal perbuatan baik dan jikapun tidak dilakukan maka amal yang tertulis sudahlah menjadi point bagi kita, sedangkan niat buruk, akan ditunda recordnya hingga hal buruk tersebut dilakukan dan Alloh SWT hanya memberikan satu point minus untuk hal yang buruk yang dilakukan, betapa Maha Kasih Alloh SWT.

Maka, ketidak berhasilan suatu rencana yang baik, bukanlah karena tidak diridhloi oleh Alloh SWT, atau ada kiasan itu adalah sukses yang tertunda, bagi saya gagal adalah gagal bukan sukses yang tertunda, karena sukses yang tertunda artinya sudah sukses namun belum mendapatkan hasil atas usahanya yang sudah dilakukan karena suatu hal, sedangkan tidak berhasil adalah tidak berhasil alias gagal, dan percobaan usaha selanjutnya adalah usaha baru lagi dengan niat baru dan cara baru dengan belajar pada pengalaman yang lalu mengapa sampai gagal.

Alloh SWT sudah mengatakan bahwa rizky (rizky atau risk atau resiko, nasib) sudah disebar untuk umatnya di muka bumi, tinggal bagaimana kita mengambilnya dan mendapatkannya.

Alloh SWT berfirman:
"Sesungguhnya Alloh tidak merubah suatu kaum sehingga mereka merubah keadaan yang ada pada diri mereka sendiri ( QS 13;11 )

Jelas, bahwa keberhasilan tidak akan Alloh "ridhloi" jika sang empunya niat tidak mau merubah keadaan yang ada pada diri mereka sendiri.

Namun demikian, keberhasilan terkadang tidak datang walau sudah berusaha maksimal, karena ada sebab dari luar yang menyebabkan kegagalan tersebut, suatu perencanaan yang baik akan runtuh jika ada pihak lain yang tidak suka dan menghalangi untuk kita tidak berhasil pada rencana yang sudah disusun, namun demikian Alloh SWT memberikan jaminan, bahwa Dia memiliki "mata" yang tidak akan lengah sedikitpun pada apa yang kita lakukan, dan semuanya akan kembali berpulang kepada-Nya

Wallohu alam bishowab

"Sukses" definisi?

Posted by Early Tokyo

"Sukses", satu kata yang indah, karena dalam benak model urban sekarang, sukses selalu berasosiasi dengan nilai duniawi yang dicapai, dalam hal ini adalah materi.
Namun dalam pandangan saya pribadi, sukes adalah tuntasnya pencapaian niat dengan batasan atau parameter yang telah ditentukan, baik oleh diri sendiri maupun diluar diri sendiri.
Saya berikan suatu contoh cerita sbb:

"Saya berniat untuk pergi ke Jakarta tepatnya ke daerah Bukit Duri dan kemudian pulang lagi hari itu juga dengan selamat. Rencana berangkat dari daerah asal adalah dengan menggunakan bis antar kota dan pulang ke daerah asal juga dengan bis antar kota. Dan kemudian saya sampai di tempat tujuan dengan selamat dan saya kembali ke rumah di daerah asal juga dengan selamat.

Dari cerita diatas, terlihat bahwa "niat" saya sudah tercapai, dan dengan tercapainya niat saya itu maka saya sudah mengalami kesuksesan.

Disini saya hanya ingin mencoba berbagi ide, bahwa sukses, atau kesuksesan tidak bisa diukur dengan hasil duniawi atau materi, namun titik akhir dari "niat" yang sampai itulah buah sukses.

Jadi, tadi siang saya berniat menulis hal ini dan ingin saya post kan dalam blog saya, dan sekarang niat saya ini terlaksana, dan saya telah sukses melaksanakan niat saya dengan pencapaian akhir sesuai yang diharapkan, yaitu: Ide ini di post kan ke dalam blog.

Wallahu alam bishowab...

Infus printer tua

Posted by Early Tokyo

Pengalaman baru dan ilmu baru, alhamdulillah, ada satu buah printer yang lumayan tua dan teronggok di sudut sebuah kantor, menurut para pegawainya printer itu sudah ga bisa dipakai lagi karena tinta asli atau yang palsunya sudah ga diproduksi lagi, walhasil printer itu pensiun walau masih bisa dihidupkan, printer itu Canon 2100SP, dengan cartridge BC-20 black.

Berbekal ilmu nekat dan sok tahu, dan ingat sama mbah Archimides klo cairan itu akan tetap pada level yang sama walau dalam bejana yang berlainan jika kedua bejana itu saling terhubung dan tidak ada penghalangnya.

Kenapa ga dicoba aja? toh gak rugi kalau misal gagal juga, dan pemilik printer juga bilang “coba aja, rusak juga emang dah ga dipake kok”

Kutak-katik, dan minta tolong disediain alat seadanya, selang kecil transparant, botol bekas tinta infus, paku ulir ukuran selang kecil transparant, lem paralon, cutter, paku kecil, obeng… korek api (kebetulan bawa sendiri koreknya, perokok lagi nih…).

Merenung cari ide, bongkar, pasang, dan…

Canon 2100

seperti terlihat diphoto (yang minta dijepretin sama karyawan situ, buat ditaruh di blog ini dong) printer itu kembali lagi pada tugas mulianya….

Alhamdulillah….. terima kasih yang sebesarnya kepada Alloh SWT yang telah memberikan se-inti atom dibelah semilyar pengetahuan kepada hamba-Nya yang lemah ini…

Semoga bermanfaat, dan terima kasih telah diberi kepercayaan untuk melakukan uji coba nekat ini…

Suku Indian Cherokee dahulu adalah muslim

Benarkah? Ya benar sekali, dalam sejarah yang tidak terungkap dan tidak pernah terungkap dan hanya diungkap di kalangan akedemisi yang berhubungan dengan sejarah, tercatat bahwa suku indian Cherokee mayoritas beragama muslim. Sebagai bukti bahwa hal itu memang benar, kalau ada rejeki dan kesempatan bisa berkunjung ke perpustakaan kongres amerika (Library of Congress) silahkan minta untuk ditunjukkan arsip perjanjian antara pemerintah AS dan orang-orang indian suku Cherokee pada tahun 1787.

Disana akan terlihat tanda tangan kepala suku Cherokee saat itu dengan nama Abdel-Khak and Muhammad Ibn Abdullah

Subhanalloh….

Kok bisa?

Sejarahnya panjang,

Semangat orang-orang Islam dan Cina saat itu untuk mengenal lebih jauh planet (tentunya saat itu nama planet belum terdengar) tempat tinggalnya selain untuk melebarkan pengaruh, mencari jalur perdagangan baru dan tentu saja memperluas dakwah Islam mendorong beberapa pemberani di antara mereka untuk melintasi area yang masih dianggap gelap dalam peta-peta mereka saat itu. Beberapa nama tetap begitu kesohor sampai saat ini bahkan hampir semua orang pernah mendengarnya sebut saja Tjeng Ho dan Ibnu Batutta, namun beberapa lagi hampir-hampir tidak terdengar dan hanya tercatat pada buku-buku akademis.
Para ahli geografi dan intelektual dari kalangan muslim yang mencatat perjalanan ke benua Amerika itu adalah Abul-Hassan Ali Ibn Al Hussain Al Masudi (meninggal tahun 957), Al Idrisi (meninggal tahun 1166), Chihab Addin Abul Abbas Ahmad bin Fadhl Al Umari (1300 – 1384) dan Ibn Battuta (meninggal tahun 1369).
Menurut catatan ahli sejarah dan ahli geografi muslim Al Masudi (871 - 957), Khashkhash Ibn Saeed Ibn Aswad seorang navigator muslim dari Cordoba di Andalusia, telah sampai ke benua Amerika pada tahun 889 Masehi. Dalam bukunya, ‘Muruj Adh-dhahab wa Maadin al-Jawhar’ (The Meadows of Gold and Quarries of Jewels), Al Masudi melaporkan bahwa semasa pemerintahan Khalifah Spanyol Abdullah Ibn Muhammad (888 - 912), Khashkhash Ibn Saeed Ibn Aswad berlayar dari Delba (Palos) pada tahun 889, menyeberangi Lautan Atlantik, hingga mencapai wilayah yang belum dikenal yang disebutnya Ard Majhoola, dan kemudian kembali dengan membawa berbagai harta yang menakjubkan. Sesudah itu banyak pelayaran yang dilakukan mengunjungi daratan di seberang Lautan Atlantik, yang gelap dan berkabut itu. Al Masudi juga menulis buku ‘Akhbar Az Zaman’ yang memuat bahan-bahan sejarah dari pengembaraan para pedagang ke Afrika dan Asia.
Dr. Youssef Mroueh juga menulis bahwa selama pemerintahan Khalifah Abdul Rahman III (tahun 929-961) dari dinasti Umayah, tercatat adanya orang-orang Islam dari Afrika yang berlayar juga dari pelabuhan Delba (Palos) di Spanyol ke barat menuju ke lautan lepas yang gelap dan berkabut, Lautan Atlantik. Mereka berhasil kembali dengan membawa barang-barang bernilai yang diperolehnya dari tanah yang asing.
Beliau juga menuliskan menurut catatan ahli sejarah Abu Bakr Ibn Umar Al-Gutiyya bahwa pada masa pemerintahan Khalifah Spanyol, Hisham II (976-1009) seorang navigator dari Granada bernama Ibn Farrukh tercatat meninggalkan pelabuhan Kadesh pada bulan Februari tahun 999 melintasi Lautan Atlantik dan mendarat di Gando (Kepulaun Canary). Ibn Farrukh berkunjung kepada Raja Guanariga dan kemudian melanjutkan ke barat hingga melihat dua pulau dan menamakannya Capraria dan Pluitana. Ibn Farrukh kembali ke Spanyol pada bulan Mei 999.
Perlayaran melintasi Lautan Atlantik dari Maroko dicatat juga oleh penjelajah laut Shaikh Zayn-eddin Ali bin Fadhel Al-Mazandarani. Kapalnya berlepas dari Tarfay di Maroko pada zaman Sultan Abu-Yacoub Sidi Youssef (1286 - 1307) raja keenam dalam dinasti Marinid. Kapalnya mendarat di pulau Green di Laut Karibia pada tahun 1291. Menurut Dr. Morueh, catatan perjalanan ini banyak dijadikan referensi oleh ilmuwan Islam.
Sultan-sultan dari kerajaan Mali di Afrika barat yang beribukota di Timbuktu, ternyata juga melakukan perjalanan sendiri hingga ke benua Amerika. Sejarawan Chihab Addin Abul-Abbas Ahmad bin Fadhl Al Umari (1300 - 1384) memerinci eksplorasi geografi ini dengan seksama. Timbuktu yang kini dilupakan orang, dahulunya merupakan pusat peradaban, perpustakaan dan keilmuan yang maju di Afrika. Ekpedisi perjalanan darat dan laut banyak dilakukan orang menuju Timbuktu atau berawal dari Timbuktu. Sultan yang tercatat melanglang buana hingga ke benua baru saat itu adalah Sultan Abu Bakari I (1285 - 1312), saudara dari Sultan Mansa Kankan Musa (1312 - 1337), yang telah melakukan dua kali ekspedisi melintas Lautan Atlantik hingga ke Amerika dan bahkan menyusuri sungai Mississippi.
Sultan Abu Bakari I melakukan eksplorasi di Amerika tengah dan utara dengan menyusuri sungai Mississippi antara tahun 1309-1312. Para eksplorer ini berbahasa Arab. Dua abad kemudian, penemuan benua Amerika diabadikan dalam peta berwarna Piri Re'isi yang dibuat tahun 1513, dan dipersembahkan kepada raja Ottoman Sultan Selim I tahun 1517. Peta ini menunjukkan belahan bumi bagian barat, Amerika selatan dan bahkan benua Antartika, dengan penggambaran pesisiran Brasil secara cukup akurat.

Bicara tentang Cherokee tentu saja tidak bisa lepas dari Sfont-seqequoyah (portait kiri atas). Seorang asli suku Cherokee yang menghidupkan kembali Syllabary suku mereka pada 1821. Syllabary adalah semacam aksara barangkali, bila kita mengenalnya dengan abjad A sampai Z maka suku Cherokee memiliki cara sendiri untuk aksara-nya. Yang membuatnya sangat luar biasa adalah ternyata aksara yang ditemukan kembali oleh Sequoyah mirip sekali dengan aksara Arab (lihat gambar kanan). Beberapa tulisan cherokee abad ke-7 yang ditemukan terpahat pada bebatuan di Nevada bahkan sangat mirip dengan tulisan “Muhammad” dalam bahasa Arab.

Bukti lainnya adalah, Columbus sendiri mengetahui bahwa orang-orang Carib (Karibia) adalah pengikut Nabi Muhammad. Dia faham bahwa orang-orang Islam telah berada di sana terutama orang-orang dari Pantai Barat Afrika. Mereka mendiami Karibia, Amerika Utara dan Selatan. Namun tidak seperti Columbus yang ingin menguasai dan memperbudak rakyat Amerika. Orang-Orang Islam datang untuk berdagang dan bahkan beberapa menikahi orang-orang pribumi. Lebih lanjut Columbus mengakui pada 21 Oktober 1492 dalam pelayarannya antara Gibara dan Pantai Kuba melihat sebuah masjid (berdiri di atas bukit dengan indahnya menurut sumber tulisan lain). Sampai saat ini sisa-sisa reruntuhan masjid telah ditemukan di Kuba, Mexico, Texas dan Nevada.

Dan tahukah anda? 2 orang nahkoda kapal yang dipimpin oleh Columbus kapten kapal Pinta dan Nina adalah orang-orang muslim yaitu dua bersaudara Martin Alonso Pinzon dan Vicente Yanex Pinzon yang masih keluarga dari Sultan Maroko Abuzayan Muhammad III (1362). [THACHER,JOHN BOYD: Christopher Columbus, New York 1950]

Dan mengapa hanya Columbus saja yang sampai saat ini dikenal sebagai penemu benua amerika? Karena saat terjadi pengusiran kaum yahudi dari spanyol sebanyak 300.000 orang yahudi oleh raja Ferdinand yang Kristen, kemudian orang-orang yahudi menggalang dana untuk pelayaran Columbus dan berita ‘penemuan benua Amerika’ dikirim pertama kali oleh Christopher Columbus kepada kawan-kawannya orang Yahudi di Spanyol. Pelayaran Columbus ini nampaknya haus publikasi dan diperlukan untuk menciptakan legenda sesuai dengan ‘pesan sponsor’ Yahudi sang penyandang dana. Kisah selanjutnya kita tahu bahwa media massa dan publikasi dikuasai oleh orang-orang Yahudi yang bahkan dibenci oleh orang-orang seperti Henry Ford si raja mobil Amerika itu. Maka tampak ada ketidak-jujuran dalam menuliskan fakta sejarah tentang penemuan benua Amerika. Penyelewengan sejarah oleh orang-orang Yahudi yang terjadi sejak pertama kali mereka bersama-sama orang Eropa menjejakkan kaki ke benua Amerika.

Dan tahukah anda? sebenarnya laksam ana Zheng He atau yang di Indonesia lebih dikenal dengan nama laksamana Cheng Ho adalah penemu benua amerika pertama, sekitar 70 tahun sebelum Columbus.

zheng heSekitar 70 tahun sebelum Columbus menancapkan benderanya di daratan Amerika, Laksamana Zheng He sudah lebih dulu datang ke sana. Para peserta seminar yang diselenggarakan oleh Royal Geographical Society di London beberapa waktu lalu dibuat terperangah. Adalah seorang ahli kapal selam dan sejarawan bernama Gavin Menzies dengan paparannya dan lantas mendapat perhatian besar.

Tampil penuh percaya diri, Menzies menjelaskan teorinya tentang pelayaran terkenal dari pelaut mahsyur asal Cina, Laksamana Zheng He (kita mengenalnya dengan Ceng Ho-red). Bersama bukti-bukti yang ditemukan dari catatan sejarah, dia lantas berkesimpulan bahwa pelaut serta navigator ulung dari masa dinasti Ming itu adalah penemu awal benua Amerika, dan bukannya Columbus.

Bahkan menurutnya, Zheng He 'mengalahkan' Columbus dengan rentang waktu sekitar 70 tahun. Apa yang dikemukakan Menzies tentu membuat kehebohan lantaran masyarakat dunia selama ini mengetahui bahwa Columbus-lah si penemu benua Amerika pada sekitar abad ke-15. Pernyataan Menzies ini dikuatkan dengan sejumlah bukti sejarah. Adalah sebuah peta buatan masa sebelum Columbus memulai ekspedisinya lengkap dengan gambar benua Amerika serta sebuah peta astronomi milik Zheng He yang dosodorkannya sebagai barang bukti itu. Menzies menjadi sangat yakin setelah meneliti akurasi benda-benda bersejarah itu.

''Laksana inilah yang semestinya dianugerahi gelar sebagai penemu pertama benua Amerika,'' ujarnya. Menzies melakukan kajian selama lebih dari 14 tahun. Ini termasuk penelitian peta-peta kuno, bukti artefak dan juga pengembangan dari teknologi astronomi modern seperti melalui program software Starry Night.

Dari bukti-bukti kunci yang bisa mengubah alur sejarah ini, Menzies mengatakan bahwa sebagian besar peta maupun tulisan navigasi Cina kuno bersumber pada masa pelayaran Laksamana Zheng He. Penjelajahannya hingga mencapai benua Amerika mengambil waktu antara tahun 1421 dan 1423. Sebelumnya armada kapal Zheng He berlayar menyusuri jalur selatan melewati Afrika dan sampai ke Amerika Selatan.

Uraian astronomi pelayaran Zheng He kira-kira menyebut, pada larut malam saat terlihat bintang selatan sekitar tanggal 18 Maret 1421, lokasi berada di ujung selatan Amerika Selatan. Hal tersebut kemudian direkonstruksi ulang menggunakan software Starry Night dengan membandingkan peta pelayaran Zheng He.

"Saya memprogram Starry Night hingga masa di tahun 1421 serta bagian dunia yang diperkirakan pernah dilayari ekspedisi tersebut," ungkap Menzies yang juga ahli navigasi dan mantan komandan kapal selam angkatan laut Inggris ini. Dari sini, dia akhirnya menemukan dua lokasi berbeda dari pelayaran ini berkat catatan astronomi (bintang) ekspedisi Zheng He.

Lantas terjadi pergerakan pada bintang-bintang ini, sesuai perputaran serta orientasi bumi di angkasa. Akibat perputaran bumi yang kurang sempurna membuat sumbu bumi seolah mengukir lingkaran di angkasa setiap 26 ribu tahun. Fenomena ini, yang disebut presisi, berarti tiap titik kutub membidik bintang berbeda selama waktu berjalan. Menzies menggunakan software untuk merekonstruksi posisi bintang-bintang seperti pada masa tahun 1421.

"Kita sudah memiliki peta bintang Cina kuno namun masih membutuhkan penanggalan petanya," kata Menzies. Saat sedang bingung memikirkan masalah ini, tiba-tiba ditemukanlah pemecahannya. "Dengan kemujuran luar biasa, salah satu dari tujuan yang mereka lalui, yakni antara Sumatra dan Dondra Head, Srilanka, mengarah ke barat."

Bagian dari pelayaran tersebut rupanya sangat dekat dengan garis katulistiwa di Samudera Hindia. Adapun Polaris, sang bintang utara, dan bintang selatan Canopus, yang dekat dengan lintang kutub selatan, tercantum dalam peta. "Dari situ, kita berhasil menentukan arah dan letak Polaris. Sehingga selanjutnya kita bisa memastikan masa dari peta itu yakni tahun 1421, plus dan minus 30 tahun."

Atas temuan tersebut, Phillip Sadler, pakar navigasi dari Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, mengatakan perkiraan dengan menggunakan peta kuno berdasarkan posisi bintang amatlah dimungkinkan. Dia juga sepakat bahwa estimasi waktu 30 tahun, seperti dalam pandangan Menzies, juga masuk akal.

Selama ini, masyarakat dunia mengetahui kiprah Zheng He sebagai penjelajah ulung. Dia terlahir di Kunyang, kota yang berada di sebelah barat daya Propinsi Yunan, pada tahun 1371. Keluarganya yang bernama Ma, adalah bagian dari warga minoritas Semur. Mereka berasal dari kawasan Asia Tengah serta menganut agama Islam. Ayah dan kakek Zheng He diketahui pernah mengadakan perjalanan haji ke Tanah Suci Makkah. Sementara Zheng He sendiri tumbuh besar dengan banyak mengadakan perjalanan ke sejumlah wilayah. Ia adalah Muslim yang taat.

Yunan adalah salah satu wilayah terakhir pertahanan bangsa Mongol, yang sudah ada jauh sebelum masa dinasti Ming. Pada saat pasukan Ming menguasai Yunan tahun 1382, Zheng He turut ditawan dan dibawa ke Nanjing. Ketika itu dia masih berusia 11 tahun. Zheng He pun dijadikan sebagai pelayan putra mahkota yang nantinya menjadi kaisar bernama Yong Le. Nah kaisar inilah yang memberi nama Zheng He hingga akhirnya dia menjadi salah satu panglima laut paling termashyur di dunia.
