  • Dissapointed with MTIX 2.0

    Admin 8:10 am on 30 August 2010 | 0 Permalink

    Actually, i was really curious when 21Cinema decided to upgrade their online ticketing by adding a feature that enables us to select our own seat. This morning, i visited their website and i found the new interface which is confusing and i think 1.0 is better than the new 2.0. Bad at usability and too much pop ups and annoying ads.

    I'd say forget it. It's just an interface after all. But guess what? The functionality is even worse. I can't even buy a ticket and i have to do my registration all over again before i can use the new service (they even have my old data, why should i do the registration again). When i looked at their forum, i saw that there are so many people already complaining about it and the admin said that there were a maintenance phase and trial version before upgrading to 2.0 and they didn't even notify their users at all.

    I think they should be more informative to their users. In the past, i'm able to buy tickets since morning, but i think they have made the rule more strict, but no announcement on their buy tickets page.

    When i called their customer service, no one answered my phone call Angry

    Conclusions: i'm so dissapointed with MTIX 2.0. Just go back to 1.0 and remove the seat selection feature. It's working and everybody's happy.
     
  • 3D CubicFun

    Admin 3:29 am on 30 August 2010 | 0 Permalink

    have just came back from Gramedia book store with my girlfriend. We saw a very nice item there called 3D CubicFun, which was a cubic that resembles real places around the world, such as Tower Bridge in UK, Empire State Building, Capitol Hill, and White House in US, Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame de Paris in France, Sydney Opera House in Australia, Leaning Tower and Colloseum in Italy.

    I think those are great for gifts or to be used for education purposes, for example an estimation and scheduling workshop because we can set a time limit constraints to build the whole building.

    Here are some screenshots :

    I have just came back from visiting my girlfriend's friend. She was just having her first daughter two weeks ago. Congratulations to Susy. Her new daugher was so sweet. It took some time to find her house, but finally we made it safely to her house Rolling

  • Linux Desktop Will be More Responsive

    Admin 4:33 am on 28 August 2010 | 0 Permalink

    Linux kernel developers has tried so hard to improve desktop responsiveness by adding more patches in the current development version of 2.6.36. Phoronix has written an article about it. Even so, it will not be fully deployed in 2.6.36 and most of the patches will be pushed to the mainline kernel when merge window for 2.6.37 has been opened, which means that we will see those improvements next year, as one release will take about three months and it's considered too late to push this in 2.6.36 as Linus is very strict lately (which is good in some circumstances) about merging new features.

  • CEH Classes

    Admin 3:59 am on 27 August 2010 | 0 Permalink

    Starting tomorrow, i will be teaching another CEH class for the third time on my campus as part of CEH Academia program held in UKDW. The participants are those whom are ready to take CEH classes as they have acquired basic understanding about security and i believe all of them are capable of finishing this course and get the CEH certification.

  • Call Your Friends From GMail

    Admin 6:06 am on 26 August 2010 | 0 Permalink

    Google has impressed me once again. After giving support for Voice and Video chat in Linux, they have just announced that you can call other people from GMail.

    They provide a very cheap rate which i think very reasonable. For call to US and Canada, Google will not charge you, but they will charge you for calls to other countries, but in a very special cheap rate.

    Check below's video from Google about their newest innovation:
