So you are interested in developing mobile application for Android, but do not know how to set up the environment? One of the easiest way is to use Eclipse, an open-source IDE. Accompanied with Android Plugin for Eclipse, worry less about the messy details and you could start programming your first mobile application in Android right away.
Notes: In this post, I assumed you have had previous experience programming with Java, therefore you have installed JDK (Java Development Kit) in your desktop/laptop. Read more…
It’s actually have been pretty late to create 2012 resolution now. But suddenly after reading my old post, I just want to post some stuff to sum up what I have done in 2011 and my resolution for 2012. 2011 has been a really busy year for me.
So, here we go… Read more…
Been in love with Instagram filters since I saw one of my friends posted Instagram-filtered photos in his Facebook. Getting my own iPhone meaning now I can play with Instagram :9
Here are some of my shots processed with Instagram 
Majinboo look-a-like Gingerbread (by coincidence) given from Marcella to me. Thanks, citi
iPhone’s dof is pretty nice!

This semester I am enrolling in a course named “Wireless Mobile Software Engineering”. In this course, I will learn how to develop mobile application for Symbian (J2ME) and Android mobile phones. In the first half of the semester, I’ll learn J2ME first. I’m not really excited in learning J2ME though, since it is an outdated technology in my opinion. I find a lot more interest in developing application for BlackBerry, Android, and iOS the most! (I haven’t bought a Mac, as a note). I, with my three teammates, have planned to develop a mobile application for the final project (but no spoiler for now hehe). If it has been finished, I’ll be sure to post the screenshots 
And here is my first mobile application development: “Yellow World” 
Looking back at my first ever blog, I see the result of my first attempt in modifying a Blogger template. Really proud of myself back then (though I think the design is ugly now). I know nothing about CSS yet I can produce such kind of thing with motivation Miss the old days~
Finally, I can stream in peace on my iMac. Streaming wasn’t a problem for me until my Windows laptop flickered so much and I decided to move to the only available desktop in my home: an iMac.
I usually stream live sports using a software called SopCast, combined with resources from http://www.wiziwig.tv/. It is so far the best way I can find to stream sports online. The problem is: Sopcast is not available for Mac. Well, I find some solution but couldn’t make it work. Until today! And now I want to spread the workarounds (it’s free btw)
What do you need?
- A Mac machine, of course
- Winebottler. Download: http://winebottler.kronenberg.org/
- X11. From my research, you can get X11 from your disc. If you are using Snow Leopard, you don’t need to install X11 since it is pre-installed.
- Mozilla Firefox for Windows. Download: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/new/
- Sopcast. Download: http://www.sopcast.com/download/
- VLC Media Player for Windows. Download: http://vlc-media-player.en.softonic.com/
I can’t hold my flickering laptop anymore. The flicker has gone so bad, black screen most of the time. I will fix my laptop soon. If it costs so much, maybe I’m going to buy a new laptop in less than 1 month (my plan is to buy new laptop in January, since I am going to Australia to continue my study).
And now, I am working in a new workspace, my brother’s iMac. I actually prefer my sister’s MacPro, but these days she often uses her MacPro and brings it to school. I actually don’t really like working in iMac. Its screen is just too big. Then the rest is Mac’s uncomfortableness: MacMessenger is not as comfortable as Windows Live Messenger, and I have to minimize my window to actually get notifications if something occurs (like during chatting).
But I think I’ll get used to it in no time. I think I can hold working in iMac, rather than having to deal with my laptop’s flickering screen.
Updated – 1 September 2011:
It turns out the new version of MacMessenger is fine. Though there is one feature I miss from the Windows Live Messenger: when one person writes a lot of lines, his/her name will only be displayed once. The notification appears although I didn’t minimize the screen. I’m getting used to iMac’s big screen as well. It’s been 1 month and I enjoy working in this new workspace
Until today, I was developing PHP with the help of Notepad++ only. Notepad++ is very lightweight, one of the reasons why I prefer it to NetBeans. But the job of uploading becomes irritating. I have to use FileZilla, and choose which file(s) I need to replace in my web hosting. Read more…
It’s been a long time since I posted something. Currently I’m in relax mode. Enrolling in two courses (total: 8 hours/week), I have a lot of time to play and do other things. Since I’m not in a whining mode, this post will be about my latest completed project, website for Digital Artvolution 2011.
Little about Digital Artvolution 2011…
“Digital Artvolution” derive from the words “Art” and “Evolution” in which, there will be various exhibitions from the classes in BINUS INTERNATIONAL Art & Design major about how art has evolve to what we see today such as typography, computer graphics, packaging, illustration, photography and many more. Various big art industry will come and participate on this year’s artvolution event. So come and learn about what art and design has become. – http://digitalartvolution.com
Well, I become the IT Division of an event called Digital Artvolution. It will be held in BINUS INTERNATIONAL on October 2011 (I forgot the exact date). I’ve just finished developing the interface yesterday. It looks nice so far (no programming yet). Here are the mock up. Click the image to make it larger.
Note: I do not design it, of course
