Facebook Photo Uploader and Firefox 3.6
Admin
So, you probably have heard out about new Photo Uploaded used by Facebook to enhance user experience when uploading photos to FB's server. What you probably don't know is that the current Photo Uploader will not work on Firefox 3.6. It will work on the next update, 3.6.1, but unfortunately, there's no definite date or schedule when will 3.6.1 be shipped to public.
For now, we (who uses 3.6) will have to use the old, manual way, uploading five photos -

Luckily, i have a co lecturer who will give the presentation on the first session, so i will give the second and third session which happened to be my class.

Near 100
Admin
In the next two days or so, i will reach 100 on my Plurk account, which is the highest karma on Plurk system. It took me about 6 months to reach this status and i believe it will be much easier if you start now, as more and more people have joined Plurk.
When i started Plurk on August 2009, not many people in my campus knew about this site, so i had some problem finding my friends. Lately, i used Plurk to give notifications about my class because some of them have joined in and they tend to watch Plurk more often than visiting my lecturer page

Echofon and Firefox 3.6
Admin
I'm having some problem replying tweets from other people from my Echofon. I can't write anything on my Echofon window after i clicked the reply icon. This never happened when i used Firefox 3.5.x. Does this problem exists only in my computer or does it happened in other computer as well?
Do you have any suggestion for Twitter-client application that integrates with Firefox 3.6+ ? I would love to hear your opinion.
Thanks before -

Not Feeling Well
Admin
This week, i'm kinda over-exhausted due to my busy schedule. For that reason, i'm taking an early sleep today to reclaim my strength to finish my two classes tomorrow. I will be teaching CEH and computer security classes tomorrow, so it will be a tough class. Let's hope for the best
Meanwhile, i will be out of YM, Plurk, Facebook, Email, Wave, and Skype -
Playing With BT4
Admin
I have been using BT 3 for a long time and i'm quite satisfied with it, since it is a complete Linux distribution for penetration testing purposes, which is required for my CEH classes. Most of the tools described in CEH are already included in BT 3. Besides, BT 3 are Slackware-based, which means i'm used with it, since my primary operating system is now Slackware (good bye Windows).
Ever since the developer of BT are planning to switch to Ubuntu-based, i kinda feel disappointed (and i believe many of BT users did too), but there's nothing we can do about it. So when the final version of BT 4 comes out, i keep downloading it both the full ISO or the VMWare image.
Last night, i tried to use the VMWare image on my vmware application, because my student who tried it said that it was very slow and the ethernet card wasn't detected on his laptop. I'm so curious about it and give it a try. I extracted my image which is compressed using zip and then load it onto VMWare and the system started. It was configured to have 768 MB as the RAM, which i think sufficient as it still uses the old KDE 3.5.x and it has been reduced to minimum to provide faster access to the desktop itself.
I have no problem running it at the first time and it's still as fast as BT 3. The changes from Slackware to Ubuntu is not very significant in my opinion. In fact, i am quite happy with how easy for BT 4 to upgrade it's packages by just running
sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
about the ethernet card, i just ran dhclient eth0 and it will receive an IP address and it will get connected to the Internet at no time. I wonder why the developer didn't use DHCP as the option for BT 4.
By the way, Back Track Linux has a new web page, so you should visit the new page instead of the old one. BT 4 is also able to be installed on your USB stick. Please check the tutorial page for more information about this -
Stem Cell Institute
Admin
Technology keep evolving and this gives us many advantages, since many things can be solved by the advanced technology that we might not be able to solve in the past. Many universities in the world conduct a research in many topics and some of them are giving more focus on health section. One of them is Hardvard with it's Stem Cell Institute.
Here's a quote from the official home page:The Harvard Stem Cell Institute's overall aim is to use the power of stem cell biology to understand and ultimately treat selected diseases and conditions.
In short, The Harvard Stem Cell Institute is a place where scientist from many places gathered and trying to find new treatments for many kinds of illnesses and brings hope to many people who sufferred from those illnesses. You can find information about Stem Cell in Wikipedia or you can view the video below
Harvard is not the first one who investigate the possibility with stem cells, but it was done by Ernest A. McCulloch and James E. Till in the 1960s. Nevertheless, Harvard took the action to improve what has been done in the past and combine it with the technology that they have to significantly improve the research methodologies and techniques to develop new breakthrough in medical areas.
Why stem cell? Many scientiest believes that stem cells therapy can help people who has problem, such as leukemia, cancer, parkinson's disease, spinal cord injuries, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, and muscle damage. For now, most of disease can't be cured, but i believe with the advancing technology, we will find the cure for this illness and many people will be saved in the future.
HSCI also offer internship program to provide undergraduate students with a focused and challenging summer research experience in a cutting-edge stem cell science laboratory. It will be held in Cambridge and Boston, MA – Harvard University and the 11 Harvard-affiliated hospitals and research centers from Monday, June 7 – Friday, August 13, 2010.

Have You Used Wave?
Admin
I have been using Wave more actively since this semester. It gives me and my colleagues a way to share our work together along with my students. We are able to communicate and discuss something in real time with only a browser and a google wave account.
Even though i think the idea of Google Wave is not yet very mature, since it lacks of many things for now, but i believe in the future, Google will add more nice features on it's product and it will become a nice application

Big Match
Admin
There's a big match today between MU and Arsenal which will be held in Arsenal's home base. So far, the score at half time is 0 - 2 for Manchester United and the score at the time i write this post is 0 - 3 for MU. I think this will be a big win for MU in Arsenal's home base and Arsenal couldn't get into the top of the league anymore as MU will get 3 points from this match.
Go Go MU
