I hate IE

The title says it all. Internet Explorer a.k.a. IE is a very annoying browser for some ‘lazy’ web designers including me. When I’ve finished a design, the first thing to do is to test it on major browsers whether it will or won’t work fine. First test on Firefox and it works perfectly. Second test on Opera. Third test on Camino, and so on; and finally,the last test, which is conducted on IE. Why last? Because I need to press my Macbook’s power button, click restart, and when he ‘dings’, press+hold option key, click the Windows HD icon, and voila! Congratulations I now can access IE.

The last test will always FAIL at first run. The design goes very messy. Still need to fix it with Crimson Editor and upload it to my web hosting server (since I haven’t already installed XAMPP on my Windows HD—I’m too lazy to do it) to see the differences.

Finished? BIG NO. Still need to check it on IE6, IE5, IE4, etc. and I bet it will be still messy!

I hate IE :D

Oh and anyways! Do you like my current blog design? I’m planning to change it though :(

WannaB sucks

I’m in 12th grade now, the class has also been reset. There only are 3 classes now (were 4) and I’m in the third class (12.3). Why is it? It’s because there were so many of our classmates gone to other countries, either to go to college or directly get into universities.

One of’em is my best friend (and other’s too). He’s gonna go to Monash. We have to do something before he left, that is.. what he is excited for most, recordings.. That’s why he took us to WannaB recording studio yesterday. He had already prepared the Japanese instrumentals that are might not available in the studio. The worst, he ordered me to bring my heavy macbook in case of something unpleasant happened.

Believe me, the place was really.. small.. for a studio, but no doubt.. my sister was with us because she knew that the studio was good (she got the information from her vocal teacher). This made something awful looked perfect.

We recorded 6 songs: Ingatlah Hari Ini, Goyang Duyu, Fated, Lucky, I’m Yours, and Hold and Cold. We spent 160,000 IDR for a package of 6 songs. Two of our team had gone home because they got other appointments at that time. After it we decided to record 4 more songs before we finally get home. They are: Utakata, Chiisana Koi no Uta, Bubbly, and Life is Like a Boat.

AND GUESS WHAT, the staffs said that THEIR FAULTY RECORDING MACHINE SUDDENLY COULDN’T WORK! WTF WERE YOU TALKIN’ ABOUT GUYS? WE’VE SPENT 6 HOURS AND WE GOT NOTHING. *Curse’em as much as we can*

We saw it.. the female staffs whose looks were very annoying and irritating. Never get in to it anymore.. WHAT A WASTE

Don’t Say We Love Genius

Genius PenTablet 8x6

What I’ve experienced last week. I was in a hurry of getting a graphic tablet because it’s really a bad thing if you left something that was not belong to you for almost 1 year (thanks for your patience anyways). I needed this for my procrastinating projects. I started to feel uncomfortable if I use Pen Tool rather than graphic tablet. With GT I could express what’s in my mind freely. Not complicated, not fulfilled with complicity.

I thought it was only IDR 700,000. So I just went directly to the store with an enough cash in hand. The girl said to me that she was sorry for telling me the wrong price. It’s IDR 1,350,000 for the latest version of Graphire.

She got me.

And after a long pause––she said,
“The size is similar with this (points to the MousePen).”

It was big, and .. certainly cheap. There’s a mouse provided. Unlike WACOM (I regretted for what I’ve said). I could get them all for only IDR 500,000.

But, I suddenly remembered what my teacher had told me. “It’s very regretful, if you choose Genius.” So, I decided to firstly test the product. I didn’t know if a product goes to the right side or bad side. Tried it out.

And the conclusion is: Don’t say we love Genius.

There was pen pressure, as the box said, but I couldn’t feel it..
There was no double click feature..
Its surface was not smooth..
There was no eraser..

Don’t say we love Genius, even though I already know that you will definitely hate him ;D.

(P.S. I didn’t bring him home!)

Report Card

WOI, I got my report card today. It was MAGNIFICENT! BRAVO! BRILLIANT! MARVELOUS! ‘D’s for mathematics series.
The teacher’s comment was: Only occasionally has Visien reached the expected level of effort, working some way short of her best. If she is to achieve a higher grade in mathematics she must revise her notebook every day and she should repeat class and homework exercises as it appears that she has difficulties recalling key concepts and techniques. Thank you very much, Natalie Agustina Santoso
I received 3 certificates of excellence: English, Fundamentals of English, and Web design. I expected some cooler than them. But I knew I couldn’t since I’m not taking the Triple Science which are Biology, Chemistry, and Physics.
I just hate anyone who said “I’m not good at all. I’m dull-witted.” But they got ‘A’s on their report cards. Fuker folks :D

Spam berserakan

BUSYED! Inilah 1 kata yang benar-benar ingin aku lontarkan dengan sekuat tenaga saat ini. Gimana nggak? Sudah berminggu-minggu blog gak diupdate, yang ter-update malah GP untuk menuju level selanjutnya. Mulai deh tikus-tikus yang annoying berdatangan, trus ngasih messej-messej ga berguna serta ga bermutu dalam jumlah yang sangat banyakkk!

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 ^^.
