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.

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

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….

See picture below

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

Now you’ll something like this image

Click on tab SUPPORT

and will showing display as below

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

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….

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)

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

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

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

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

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.

And to answer this critical disease, Simply Super Software has release their new Trojan remover namely
