For what? Host your own website, blog, email server, security systems etc.

DynDNS will provide Dynamic DNS Free (DDNS) that allows you to create a hostname that points to your home or office IP address, providing an easy-to-remember URL for quick access. Setup guide available from Saif Khan.

Linksys modem/router need to be set up, so the domain can be routed to your server. Pain in the Tech shows you how.

MAMP stands for Macintosh, Apache, MySQL and PHP, local server environment for Mac OS X. Stooryduster shows you how to setup wordpress in local server.

In MAMP Pro this local server can be accessed from the internet, with the service provided by DynDNS. Here’s screenshot for setting in my case, server and hosts setting.

And voilà, http://margjakob.ath.cx:8888 is ready for the world. (my movies and tv log)

My system: MacBook white 2.2 GHz, Snow Leopard 10.6.2, Wordpress 2.9.1

Didn’t work well (I try Safari and Chrome). Yeah… it still beta. But I really need flash that didn’t eat my cpu and need that MySpace music player too. I check out at least 5 band a day before I get 1 or 2 of them. So just click anywhere till the music plays!

[update 201109] If you can’t bear them, here’s how to revert to stable version.

Items to delete: -1 (system: snow leopard, macntfs-3g)

3 MacBook? Nope, the black one not shining, sticker came with Snow Leopard DVD box.

Scene from Chicago (2002). Newspaper guy waiting for someone at window to tell him the result at court. If the defendant guilty sell the guilty newspaper, otherwise sell the innocent one.

Damn! My connection really crazy, especially this last 3 days. And not only me, all people in Bandung who use the same provider facing this same problem. This slow stupid connection started at September 10. New Bandwidth Management, big latency at 13-18 pm and 19 pm-12 am. Only got around 384k at this hours, half day and at the time we need it most. My speed up to 2048k but sometimes I got 4 digit latency (people already make a joke about this: you can buy ‘teh botol‘ with that digit :D).

If we call their complaint service at 147, the answer just the same every time. Try ping here, try ping there, okay Sir, we will pass your complaint, and same thing happened if they sent technician to your house. So, don’t call them?

Maybe we should do something like people of Monticello? The saga began in 2007, when the town passed a referendum approving the city-owned fiber network. The city says that it had approached TDS (their internet service provider) and was told that no such system would be installed in town in the near future, so it went ahead with its own plans. Want 50Mbps Internet in your town? Threaten to roll out your own. But this is hard, nobody got poor people’s back in this country. This is not sue-crazy America, everybody sue everybody as they like, if you can’t beat ’em, sue ’em.

Some of our friend at Kaskus already start gathering people to visit Speedy Office some time in the next few days. I hope they good result over there.

Speedy, speed that you can trash!

Helping my friend’s sister get her new MacBook Pro ready for daily use. And also this is a chance to try many thing that can’t be done with only one MacBook or with other brand notebook. (I never succeed doing screen sharing, internet sharing with my old compaq. But I never try really hard. Slacker!)

Weird huh? Snow Leopard problem? I don’t know why, I’m using Vienna at the time, then I just go to active screen corner, desktop is shown just like that. And that weird thing stay there a minute or two, nothing else happened, so I didn’t really give attention, I check it later it already back to normal aurora.

snowy… snowy… snowy… =P~

It’s time to upgrade. See you later!

SeisMac is a Mac OS X application that turns your MacBook or MacBook Pro into a seismograph, measure and record motions of the ground, including those of seismic waves generated by earthquakes. It access your laptop’s Sudden Motion Sensor in order to display real-time, three-axis acceleration graphs.

This make remember the recent earthquake in Indonesia. My sincere condolence for all the earthquake victim in Padang, West Sumatra. And for us all, it does no harm to read earthquake prediction;

October 2009: The ability to forecast large earthquakes, greater than M6.0, more accurately and many days in advance, has been greatly enhanced by a new finding that enabled us to forecast the approximate magnitude of the Padang, Sumatra, earthquake (30 September) two weeks in advance.
