Stackops on Virtualbox

Ok here we go:

1. Install it in virtualbox using "Install Stackops node with dhcp" to get the network up
2. Change the setting for network to "Bridged Adapter"
3. Run "ip addr show" to identify the current IP
4. Access the Stackops smart installer through the guest OS ip and port 8888
5. Configure! :)

Hello December,

This is the beginning of my new blog. In the next coming days i will post more on topic around math, visualization and programming. I think now is the time for me to move on and stop making so much excuses. Thank you web.

Cheers,

ketika anak kuliahan kebingungan icon drive-nya hilang..

Di sore yang cerah, saya kebingungan karena tiba-tiba icon drive saya hilang. Well, not a big deal tapi rasanya gak enak. Setelah cari sana sini, akhirnya ini step yang paling enak menurut saya. Twek ini working di windows 7, yang laennya belom coba.

1. Go to C:\User\*nama komputer anda*\AppData\Local
2. Delete IconChache.db
3. Open notepad, buat file "IconChache.db" dengan restriction read-only dan hidden
4. Restart
5. Magic happen!! :)
6. Go back to the IconChache.db location and unthick the read-only restriction.

Well, dengan asumsi setting explorer anda show hidden file dan protected operating system file. Ini bisa di modify di folder option, bagian viewnya.

*For your information, this is happened when im trying to follow the regedit solution but i cant find DriveIcon in my registry.

ketika anak kuliahan mencoba memahami pertanyaan penting tentang Business Intelligence

Taken from here.

1. What happened and what is the cause?  
Find technology solutions that provide ways to identify the root cause of issues. This may include filtering or drilling into the drivers behind a specific outcome.

2. What led up to this?
By viewing statistical trend lines, you can determine whether a specific issue happened over time or abruptly. Only with trending information will you be able to accurately assess a problem.

3. If I do nothing what is likely to happen? 
Use trend lines with forecast projections to show future outcomes.

4. Is this a systemic problem or an abnormality? 
Use control charts to show how much change there is from one result to the next – for example, in quality or even sales cycle time – to see if you have a consistent process.  A lot of variance indicates a systemic issue.

5. What happened the same time last year, last quarter, last month? 
Look at the differences in the results achieved the same time last year, last quarter, last month, etc., to see if you are tracking similarly or if there is a difference indicating some change in seasonality or the process itself.

6. How does this compare to a benchmark or best practice? 
Review the difference between results being achieved in one part of your business to another, perhaps a best practice within your organization. You can also use external benchmarks to determine areas requiring improvement.

7. What are the contributors to my issue?
Here, Pareto charts can show you the percentage contribution of each result (great for applying the 80/20 rule.) Or, histograms can show the major “buckets” such as Accounts Receivable aging.

8. What would happen if I made this change? 
The beauty of truly interactive dashboards means that you can now do real-time scenario analysis that shows the result of one or more changes.

Beautiful. I think the business intelligence will more fascinate me in the near future..

ketika anak kulihan bosan melihat tampilan urutan form yang sama..

#Update!
I found out that the competition is for US only. I didnt read properly. But who care? I just dont agree with them because they allow me to choose the country. Or do you think they asked my hometown? Im still confuse. Hehe.

Below is the screenshot of the form that i want to fill-up this morning. Something silly happened. I just cant understand why people always put "country" below the "state". Then for today case, the state didnt change after i select Malaysia as the country. It still show US. Oh god..am i not eligible for the notebook?

Please Google, im one of you biggest fan (read: not cheerleader). I do critics but thats the way i show my love! :p

can you understand?

The original interface

After i make a bit of space for the profile pic

What do you think?

ketika anak kuliahan bingung dengan error yang terjadi di google's search tool..

Ok, im pretty surprise about the finding. Google's search tool for custom range not working for certain date. My example shows that Google normal site cant search for result starting from October 10th, 2010 until December 6th.

I think this is weird, because Google secure site perfectly show the result starting October 10th, 2010 until December 6th.

Later on, i found that the error happen in patter. For example month is m, day is d and constraint is c. The error happen if you search the day that equal to constraints, but nothing happen if it more than constraint. What is the rule for the constraints?

c < m
if d = c
  swap m, d
  show the result
else
 show the right result
end

Do you see the pattern? I just cant understand why the swap happen. :(
To proof my silly finding, let me show the screenshot of the example. I did it few minutes ago. I hope Google can fix this asap.

My guess: they are doing maintenance, because if i type "Google" in chrome browser it will automatically redirect me to the secure google search page not the normal page.

Normal google site, i did nothing

Then i put 10/1/2010 as the date,
it should show result starting from October 10th. 2010

Error happened! :(

This is the google secure search

I was amaze with the calendar, love it!

Perfecto!! :)

Few funny facts,
# i found this by accident when i was looking for girl that i admire :p
# i mention this in twitter, but no respond from Ms. Mayer and Google admin.
# i cant find any report/submit problem menu in those very simple+elegant search page.

Hey google (if you put g instead of G, it will consider misspell), i admire you so much!! Please fix this. Hehe.

ketika anak kuliahan dengerin just a dream-nya nelly..

I was thinkin about her, thinkin about me.

Thinkin about us, what we gonna be?

Open my eyes, yeah; it was only just a dream.

So I travel back, down that road.

When she come back? No one knows.

I realize, yeah, it was only just a dream...

ketika anak kuliahan lelah berpikir tentang database

Saya memilih tidur.
Itu adalah solusi terbaik. Hehe.

Semalem, tiba-tiba ngebuka catatan ide-ide lama. NoSQL..yang artinya non relational database. Kalo search di internet dan baca dari wikipedia, katanya sih lagi ngetrend. Dari sinilah semuanya bermula. Sedikit baca (seriously, it was really hard reading) tentang BigTable, Dynamo dan akhirnya Cassandra dari Apache.

Pusing...

Oh final exam, semoga cepat berakhir....

ketika Seth Godin berbicara tentang unreasonable

Apa bener-bener unreasonable? Atau hanya kita harus melakukannya dengan lebih baik dan berbeda? Karena..well, lebih baik saja is not enough.


------------------- original article -----------------
Unreasonable

The paradox of an instant, worldwide, connected marketplace for all goods and services:

All that succeeds is the unreasonable.

You can get my attention if your product is unreasonably well designed, if your preparation is unreasonably over the top, if your customer service is unreasonably attentive and generous and honest. You can earn my business or my recommendation if the build quality is unreasonable for the intended use, if the pricing is unreasonably low or if the experience is unreasonably over-the-top irresistible given the competition.

Want to get into a famous college? You'll need to have unreasonably high grades, impossibly positive recommendations and yes, a life that's balanced. That's totally unreasonable.

The market now expects and demands an unreasonable effort and investment on your part. You don't have to like it for it to be true.

In fact, unreasonable is the new reasonable.

aha, ternyata..

aha, ternyata sedikit demi sedikit mulai ada jalannya. Boleh saja saya melihat/memandang sesuatu hal yang sama dengan apa yang anda lihat, tetapi saya memikirkannya berbeda. That is the difference kawan!

ketika anak kuliahan berbicara tentang komitmen

ko·mit·men n perjanjian (keterikatan) untuk melakukan sesuatu; kontrak: perkumpulan mahasiswa seharusnya mempunyai -- thd perjuangan reformasi

Oh iya?

Sedikit bercerita tentang komitmen. Saya pelajar bersahaja yang katanya punya komitmen. Ingin ini dan itu pokoknya banyak sekali dech..hufff... (ceritanya ngikutin gaya nulis abg). Tapi hasil yang saya dapatkan jauh dari yang namanya produktif. Bukannya sadar dan memperbaiki diri, malah nambah beban dan nyusahin diri sendir. Malangnya..Hehe.

Tapi sekarang, alhamdulillah.

Menurut saya komitmen itu gak bisa terwujud hanya karena ada keinginan melakukan sesuatu. Cara melakukan sesuatu itu juga penting. Let see kesalahan-kesalahan yang saya perbuat sebelumnya,

1. Memiliki project dengan jangka waktu penyelesaian hitungan bulan.
Wow, sounds great isnt it? Tapi ini adalah kesalahan terfatal yang saya perbuat. Why? Saya orang yang termasuk gak sabaran. Hasil  yang cepat dan tepat adalah morfin bagi darah, bensin untuk mobil. Solusinya, milestone di kecilin sehingga initial result bisa di liat sekitar 1 atau 2 minggu maksimal.

2. Maaf (di ikuti aduh), gak ada waktu..gak ada uang..gak ada wanita..gak ada bla, bla, bla...

Inilah second killer komitmen saya yang gak jauh berbahayanya.Tapi juga yang paling saya rasain sekarang efeknya. Constraint atau keterbatasan adalah anugrah. Saya seharusnya mandiri bisa berinovasi walaupun dalam keadaan serba kekurangan. Dari sini pun saya dapat menilai diri saya sendiri, seberapa besar/kuat sih keinginan saya untuk melangkah? Apakah ini hanya sekedar komitmen taik kucing (baca: baunya bentar aja)? Kalau memang komitmen sejati, seharusnya saya gak akan mencoba untuk membuat alasan. Gak ada waktu? Bullshit, potong waktu nonton how i met your mother jadi satu jam dan muali kerjakan project. Permasalahannya, saya hanya tidak menginginkan komitmen itu sepenuh hati. Thats all.

3. Kayanya malam jumat kliwon waktu yang tepat untuk ngoding.

Ketika malam jumat datang, saya malah nongkrong dan akhirnya bangun kesiangan. Waktu yang tepat memang gak akan pernah ada. Do it fuckn' now!

4. Yes, ...

Kenapa sih museum itu layak untuk di kunjungi? Karena museum bukan gudang yang semua barang di masukin. Ada proses pemilihan karya oleh sang kurator. Ini nih yang parah abis, saya keseringan mengatakan 'YA' daripada 'NO'. Banyak ide briliant dan enthusiasm pun lagi tinggi-tingginya..namun itu bisa menjadi jebakan yang mematikan jika saya tidak bisa mengidentifikasikan hal tersebut sebagai sesuatu yang berguna dan implemented. Solusi: tulis, tulis, tulis dan revise saat anda dalam keadaan clear state. iPad aja sukses bukan karena serba ada, tapi karena banyak kurangnya.

Dan bla..bla..bla..

Kalo mau di tulis banyak banget.

Jadi, seberapa besarkah komitmenmu terhadap apa yang telah anda tetapkan? Masih sering buat excuses gak jelas? Belom ngerti kalo menjadi kurator itu penting? dan menunda adalah menyakitkan?

Move your ass kawan..
