  • Facebook and Friendster in Indonesia

    I feel that more people added me as their Facebook contact list these days. And, many of them already added me to other social network site: Friendster.

    The Table of Typefaces groups by families and classes of typefaces: sans-serif, serif, script, blackletter, glyphic, display, grotesque, realist, didone, garalde, geometric, humanist, slab-serif and mixed.

  • Twitter Search Results on Google Search

    I have Greasemonkey installed on my Firefox browser. After I heard the news about inserting Twitter real-time search directly on Google search page, I gave it a try.

    If browsers were women — Opera is slim, sexy and tough, she’ll be just for you if you’re into that kind of women. She’s really good in the bedroom, you’ll enjoy her performance. She won’t let ou inside though, so full satisfaction is not guaranteed.

  • Pemilu 2009 tinggal sebentar lagi

    Pemilu legislatif tahun 2009 katanya tinggal sebentar lagi. Tapi, sepertinya cukup banyak hal-hal yang belum siap.

    Sarimbit artinya berpasangan, atau sepasang. Mungkin sudah pada tahu, tapi walaupun katanya saya orang Jawa — lebih tepatnya orang Jogja yang identik dengan batik, tapi saya sepertinya harus mengaku kalau saya baru tahu artinya hari kemarin. Ini juga gara-gara diajak Lala untuk menemani beli batik sarimbit untuk orang tuanya. Oh ya, salah satu tempat biasa…

Tapi, Western Union sepertinya bukanlah jasa pengiriman uang yang pertama kali saya pakai. Oh ya, ini yang saya maksud adalah jasa pengiriman uang dengan cara yang “sedikit konvensional”,…
