Haaahahaa gue jarang update.. karena gue main Seal lagi! maklum .. soalnya liburan ane ga kemana-mana dan ga ngapa-ngapain :”>.

Jadi pas lagi iseng-iseng ngecek email, gue dapet email dari temen yang gue kenal dan gue tau keberadaannya. Email ini bener-bener bikin gue kasihan, bayangin aja kalo beneran kejadian kayak gini? Tapi sudah dapat dipastikan ini bukan dia yang kirim karena.. doi orang Indonesia dan dipanggilnya pake nama depannya (Serafina / Fina). Berikut isi emailnya:

From: Serafina Jessica
Subject: My Predicament !!!

Hi,
This had to come in a hurry and it has left me in a devastating state. I’m in some terrible situation and I’m really going to need your urgent help. Some days ago,unannounced, I came to visit a resort center in South Glamorgan UK,England..but I got mugged by some hoodlums and lost all my cash,credit cards, I’m financially stranded right now and my return flight leaves in few hours time but I need some money to clear some bills, I didn’t bring my cell phone along since I didn’t get to roam them before coming over. So all I can do now is pay cash and get out of here quickly.I do not want to make a scene of this which is why I did not call my house,this is embarrassing enough.I was wondering if you could loan me some cash, I’ll refund it to you as soon as I arrive home just need to clear my Hotel bills and get the next plane home, As soon as I get home I’ll refund it immediately. Write me so I can let you know how to send it.

Jessica..

WTF gan? Gue minta dia reply pake bahasa indonesia, dan dibalas dengan inggris! definitely a scam.. terus gue coba tanya sama mbah google

Anonymous: Somebody in a dire state, requiring your sympathy and, more importantly, you money quickly. Sounds like a scam to me. Ask them to ring you through a pay phone if you want to make sure and confirm it is them, but I would be very suspicious of the situation.

THE INTERNET: yea its pretty obviously a scam, unless you know the name the fellow left behind, if you do, attempt contact with him/her and his/her family before ANYTHING
do not respond to it

Pidgepidg: I am so glad I found this post–I received this email today from a friend. What’s weird is that they had opened a hotmail account in my friend’s name and signed off with his first name. it sort of made sense as I am one of his only friends that lives in the UK, but I was still suspicious, so pulled him up on my facebook account (where we’re friends) and wrote him from there, saying I’d gotten an email but it was suspicious, so write back directly through Facebook if it really is him. I then got another reply on Facebook from ‘him’ (his photo, his Facebook account that he’s had for ages) saying “Oh no…l know this sounds weird and you wouldn’t believe me…Yes, am really stucked out here in the UK and it’s so devastating at the moment.l wish l could cal but l don’t have access to phone at the moment , I really need your help to get myself out of this mess. The hotel management has been kind to let have an access to a library to get across to anybody to help me since my luggages was also taken away.Hope to hear from you soon…..I don’t really have much time i’m in a Local Library right now please get us out of here…(his name)”
But the spelling and grammar made me suspicious so I wrote back and said, “If this is you, answer these three questions” and gave questions that he should know the answer to (the name of my college roommate, etc). Of course he didn’t write back, and now his Facebook account has been deleted.
So presumably what happened was: they broke into his Facebook account, looked up names and emails of friends, created a hotmail account using his last name, and emailed me. I’m very skeptical but must admit this one had almost going for a minute…

Liat jawapan Pidgepidg yang terakhir gan.. itu lebih kaco lagi, ampe pesbuk-pesbuknya juga dibajak. kasian bener tu orang gan :(.

ciakakakaka!

Tapi sebenernya masih bisa kok kalau mau @live.com dan @msn.com!
Berikut linknya: @live.com, @msn.com.

Selain @live.com,@msn.com, @windowslive.com, @hotmail.com, ada juga @passport.com. Keuntungan dari @passport.com adalah ketika sign up, kita ga ditanyain embel-embel kayak tahun lahir, alternate e-mail address, country, dll-dll yang emang malesin buat ngisi =)). Tapi ada kekurangannya juga.. yaitu @passport.com TIDAK BERFUNGSI SEBAGAI ALAMAT EMAIL! Kerjaan dia cuma untuk membuat kita asal bisa login ke windows live services, termasuk Windows Live Messenger (WLM, formerly MSN Messenger). Kalau ada yang ngirim mass e-mail lewat Windows Live Messenger contacts list, kemungkinan besar kamu gak akan dapat e-mailnya karena .. ya itu lah.. @passport.com ga berfungsi sebagai alamat e-mail. Inilah yang membuat gue ngubah identity WLM gue yang dari lawliet@passport.com jadi visien@vinesa.com :), soalnya kalau ada yang ngirim e-mail, gue bisa nerima langsung, ke preferred inbox pula :P.

Tapi basi juga sih since pake e-mail address sendiri yang already exists juga bisa dipake buat daftar windows live ID :P.

Sifat dasar dan utama game online yang bikin nyandu adalah salah satu penyebab tikus-tikus yang kehadirannya tidak diinginkan menggerogoti boks komen dengan santai&cuek. Gara-gara ngeliat tikus-tikus tsb, gw jadi males update blog dan malah nerusin update GP ;p. Makanya minta wp-theme ma cici 9olda nich, tapi sampe sekarang belom dibuatin, yah namanya juga orang dewasa, banyak kesibukan ><

Kak Elzan juga belom ngasih-ngasih ni plugin word verificationnya ): susah ya jadi orang dewasa, kebanyakan sibuknya daripada mainnya ;p. Enaknya jadi anak-anak.. hehehe.

Trus, RSS Feeds di feed reader ku udah mbengkak, wakakaka bayangin aja udah berminggu-minggu update temen-temen belom dibacain, salah satunya punya saudara-saudara tercinta, Kai, dan Rei. Eh, tapi si Rei juga jarang update, sampe-sampe digerogotin tikus-tikus nakal tuch entrynya ^^.

hari ini lg sempet berinternet, karena sudah bebas dari tugas-tugas mingguan, tinggal nungguin ulangan umum aje.
iseng-iseng buka GF soalnya barusan gw beli computer-arts™ ama CONCEPT™ di kino, jadi keinget soal desin2an. padahal gw udah berbulan-bulan melupakan yang satu ini. abisnya tugas di skul banyak bgt bisa bikin gila lama2. ada waktu sikit, langsung deh ngacir ke warnet buat nge-jam .. wwkkwkw

ngomong2 soal RIP, BEGITULAH indonesia, tanah air kita yang tercinta, dengan keindahan dan kekayan alamnya.. dan apapun itu ++
di GF bagian RIP, banyak banget kasus yang oketa punya (kasus kok oketa), dan rata2 smuanya orang indo. sampe gw ngakak-ngakak sendiri ngeliatnya, “kok bisa yak?!”

felem jugak.
biarpun kadang2 ada yang tulis “adapted from..”, tapi tetep aja.

bahasa pun jugak.

bijimana ini ??

u know that one of my interests is designing a web. biarpun skill gw masi pas-pasan alias jijay nan bajay, tapi hobi tetep hobi, cuek ah mau bego / pandai, yang penting oke.

untung eh kok jadi untung, untuk maksudnya.. untuk membuka fail php, tentu saja memerlukan apaan gitu (ga tau namanya) pokokya dikasih tau sama cici golda buat make xampp. buat yang ga tau.. silahkan UTFG, buat yang ga tau UTFG itu apa, kasian dech loe.

jaman2nya gw pakai victor, tetep aja gw ga ngerti gimana cara install xampp. perlu bantuan cici golda buat install tu aplikasi aneh. gambarnya tulang, jadi aneh. dan stelah mengikuti instruksi dari cici golda yang oke itu, terinstall-lah aplikasi aneh bergambar tulang tsb. dan.. ERROR COULDN’T START APACHE.

Mula-mula, udah seneng banget tuh bisa internetan non-stop lagi kayak jaman dulu rumah masih di Taman Alfa Indah. Dulu ada cable. Kalau ADSL kan dibatasin pemakaiannya, limitku 1 GB.

Lama-kelamaan, muncul juga yang namanya konpelik, bukan konfeleks tapi konpelik. Lampu merah yang mehiasi modem, atau hanya 2 lampu saja yang berkelap-kelip, menandakan kalau internetnya nda bisa jalan. SUX

Semua menyarankan ku untuk menelepon sang juru custser speedy-nya. Setelah ditelepon, semuanya bilang “sudah dicoba reset modemnya?”, kemudian “Nanti akan dilaporkan ke bagian bla bla bla”, dan kenyataannya, mau gw lapor ato engga tetep aja tu modem jalan lagi kalo udah malem. Berjam-jam gw harus nunggu internetnya jalan lagi. SUX

Karena suka main game (bukan ragnarok yang realtime banget, jadi ga buang banyak bandwidth), tagihannya nyampe 900k. Akhirnya gw pasang yang limit 2 GB. Enak sih, browsing jadi ga tertekan, biasanya sebentar-sebentar ngeliat bandwidth meter, tapi kali ini bisa santai.

Justru 2 GB ini yang bikin lebih banyak konpelik. SPEEDY memang SUX. Suara para juru custser juga udah kayak rekaman aje. Persis kayak kovernya.. tekan 1 untuk layanan berbahasa Indonesia… sux

Tetapi, tetapan margin setiap browser berbeda. Yang bikin susah ya itu aja, kadang kalau dilihat dari firefox bagus, dari IE dan Opera jelek, yah begitulah sebaliknya. Sungguh syarat yang sulit bagi pemula sepertiku. Contohnya adalah wp-theme yang kugunakan sekarang ini, coba kalian tengok dari IE, h1h1.. keliatan kan =p

Dari dulu sudah banyak sekali yang komplain mengenai layout blog ku. Sebagian besar bilang bahwa “non,, layout mu kalau dilihat dari IE ancur tuh”. Yah, mau gimana lagi? Udah di utak-atik kayak apa juga, tetep aja ga bisa, bingung kan?

Because of those ****** viruses, my computer had many serious errors. What’s that ? I don’t know .. but I think it causes my computer slow down (too slow) and made me feels in a terrible situation.

So, viruses.. are dead or alive? (forgive my horrible English 8D)

Kembali soal Pertemuan dengan Internet, saya memang sudah mengenal komputer sejak TKB2, saat itu saya bersekolah di TK Tunas Harapan, Bekasi Barat. Saya akui saya memang sangat culun saat itu, pakai rok warna biru pendek kotak-kotak, masih nyanyi-nyanyi, masih belajar menjahit, masih gunting-gunting kertas, masih maen masak-masakan, ah sudahlah lupakan, MALU™ TAHU!?
Duduk di kelas 1 SD, saya pindah ke JAKARTA dan bersekolah di Yayasan Kristen Pendidikan Petra berlokasi di Komplek Perumahan Taman Alfa Indah yang pastinya komplek itu terbagi dua, Jakarta Selatan dan Jakarta Barat, jadi saya hanya perlu waktu 3 menit untuk berjalan dari Jakarta Barat ke Jakarta Selatan, hihih tak penting ah zzzz. Makanya saya kadang suka bingung kalau mau berkirim-balas surat, mau tulis Jakarta Selatan atau Barat? Takut kalau orang kirim package tak sampai kan sayang.. //diJIKTAS//

Ah kok malah ngomongin yang tak penting sih, subjek kan PERTEMUAN DENGAN INTERNET ..
