A new site for a new year for CakePHP team as they go and release their latest CakePHP PHP Framework version 1.2. Now they have a showy slide animation upfront and a better color usage and alignment. Got to say, it blocks my migration plan to Code Igniter

Moreover on the Ajax world, Ext JS seems to arrived on a 2.0 version and also goes for a new and animation-showy site. Interesting..

Will definitely check those 2 frameworks as soon as I have an appropriate project

Yup, the best RSS Reader for Mac is free! I was using the lite version of it, but now i’ll be using NetNewsWire 3.1 It’s so nice for the developer to make it free for us. Owh and their windows version of the RSS Reader called FeedDemon are also available freely

After reading the blog and their F.A.Qs, apparently they have concluded that making the RSS clients free would dramatically increase the use of RSS and of course resulting in more demand for Enterprise RSS solution in which of course is the core business of Newsgator, the maker of NetNewsWire and FeedDemon.

Glad to have a win-win solution for everyone like this Now, how about making MarsEdit 2.0 Free

Finally my Halo Laptop Sticker arrived, I got this from one of Kaskus seller and pretty please with the result. I printed 2 pictures, 1 is Halo (That pic above) and the other is Zelda. Turns out that a photo realistic quality goes blur on sticker print, ow well.. the Zelda looks good (in which ojo will be using).

I kind of miss the edge and cut it too deep, ow well it’s my first try. Will be more careful in the next try, I’ll order my next one as soon as I can think of a great wallpaper pic to put it

Been watching Dragon Ball GT again this week and it’s still a nostalgically good, I watch the Android 17 Saga and are now watching the Shadow Dragon Saga. I just love it when Goku finish the opponents with a big bang of Kamehameha.

But have you ever wondered what Kamehameha means? Well, I did a little digging on wikipedia and found out that there’s a holiday called Kamehameha Day. A day to commemorate Goku? no, not really.. Kamehameha Day (June 11th) is a day to commemorate The Great Kamehameha, the first King of Hawaii.

Surprise? so am I. Whether Akira Toriyama gets the name from this king or not, it sure is fun to know this

Yes.. It’s been lame on the Nintendo DS because all the good games are still japanese only, so here’s my list of 10 games to re-play while waiting for games like Final Fantasy IV Remake, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles and more:

• The New Super Mario Bros! Couldn’t get old with these
• Meteos, The never ending puzzle game
• Mario Kart and Mario Party (with friends only)
• Pokemon Diamond (catching up all the rest of the pokemon)
• The Simpsons (just for their old jokes)
• Advance Wars: Dual Strike (So that you’ll be ready for Advance Wars: Days of Ruins)
• Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow
• Megaman ZX (don’t really like the advent one)
• Metroid Prime Hunters

And no, I don’t recommend re-playing Zelda and the Phantom Hourglass because one time of it was so great that a second time would ruin it. But I do have an urge to sell my old DS for a new DS: Zelda Edition!! Why? because it’s gold and it has a triforce! I’m just a sucker for these Here’s a pic for you to see:

Despite what I do now and my ignorance on the world of music and it’s instruments, I always wanted to be a drummer. Yep, you read it right. It started in Junior High when I started to have a thing for beats, especially drums. But at that time, I’m a total geek.. so I just kept that away for a long time.

Just recently I’ve played a Tatsujin (Drum Mania) in Citos Timezone and just reminded of the old dream of mine back then. But as you might have guess, i suck at that :)) Well, it would be cool to have that kind of instrument at home to play with. Just to relieve those stress at work, I could just bang it all I want.

Luckily, I have the WWW to help me. I searched the web and found DTXMania, It’s a free version of Drum Mania and it only works on PC, but it sure hell would be fun to play

And for the record, it comes with a Guitar Hero (PS2) clone that could work with a PS2 Guitar Controller (which I can get for around 300rb Rupiah, cool!). Hm.. interesting! All I need is a PS2 to USB Converter, which comes quite cheap but I’m not really sure if they have it here in Indonesia.

For DTXMania however, I need a MIDI Drum Set which cost around $200. Hm… Guess I know what I should buy for myself next year

OOT:

For Raden, congrats on Julliete. Ayo Yuri, kapan nyusul
