Do you know the story of the boiled frog?
They say that if you put a frog into a pot of boiling water,
it will leap out right away to escape the danger.But, if you put a frog in a kettle that is filled with water that is cool and pleasant,
and then you gradually heat the kettle until it starts boiling,
the frog will not become aware of the threat until it is too late.
The frog’s survival instincts are geared towards detecting sudden changes.
Howdy,
Couple weeks ago, I used pre-made template. I have to admit that the design is good. But there are some parts of it that bother me. So I decided to write a new design.
For this new design, I didn’t give a name. It’s a custom design anyway. I’m a man who believes in simplicity, so I’d like to write design as simple as possible. I also powered up the footer section. When I was blogwalking, I found some pretty blog doing the same. I like the concept and I adopted it in my footer. Maybe you like it better than the previous one? Well, it’s up to you to decide.
With this new design, I also created a new logo for sidudun. Just need some refreshments, no other reason. All of the credits for the icons and font creators is in the footer.
So, do you like it? Comments and suggestions are welcome..
Once in my peaceful days, a friend rang me up. She said that a friend of her got a problem with email. This friend got her email hi-jacked by her ex-boyfriend. So she couldn’t login to her email. That’s just for the start. The bigger problem is this ex also hi-jacked her Facebook account and start doing nasty things with her account. Pretty scary huh? Continue reading
Almost one year ago, I take a risky experiment. I tried to self-hosted my own Wordpress blog and bought myself a domain name. As you can see right now, I used second level domain provided by my own country, that is web.id. With this domain, I played around with setting own blog into one of free hosting provider. Ever since that time, some of my friends asking me about this hosting and domain. How to get the domain, how to buy a hosting, and all of other questions. And this article was dedicated to them and to you who wanna host your own blog.
This article is about some considerations we need to take before deciding what kind of hosting and domain do you need.
This article is NOT about detailed instructions in configuring and setting blog on our own hosting and domain. I wrote about these at another site in Bahasa Indonesia. You can read about that there (send me a comment if you want me to translate it into English).

It was in the early year of my undergrads study when I realized that I can’t do long distance reading. At those days, we got a course on a big hall with more than a hundred students in it, looking at small white boards at the front of the class. At closer range than this, my brain could still run text recognizer to determine what sentence is written. But at this big hall, I barely see nothing but a black curve in the white.
So then, I got ophthalmologist checked my eyes. The result: my right eye is -0.5 and my left is -0.25. Not too bad. It still small numbers compared to the others. Because of this, I rarely used my spectacles. And it has been continued until just now.
Right now, almost five years after that. Actually I just feeling my eyes were still okay. I could still spend most of my time in front of computer with no problem. And there’re no classes yet. One that just bothered me is just that sometimes I must close my distance with monitor screens to read. So I decided to check my eyes again.
The result was quite surprising. My right is -0.5 and my left is -1.25. The person who tested my eyes said that the result wasn’t bad after all these five years. Yeah, not bad for a person who spend almost 15hrs a day in front of his computer. But because of this increase, I have decided to use my spectacles. Just using it make me feel 200% smarter than before, he3..
