Google Live Review
This time , is a little review of Google Wave. I’ve watched the video on the conference of Google Wave demonstration at this page . It is very shock for me in the middle of the preview. What shocked me?? it is OPEN SOURCE !!!
The reason for me to shock is because of the product. I can say Google Wave is something very very interesting for us to use. It is great for any conversation , and also for work. At the first of the demonstration , they said “you will forget that the application you are using is a browser” and it is true.
What does Google think about wave??
why is it called ‘wave’ ? they define wave as
- A wave is equal parts conversation and document
- A wave is shared
- A wave is live
Google Wave is suitable for our living tasks and also for works. It covers we can use it to
- group projects
- photo sharing
- meeting notes
- brainstorming
- and also an interactive games
Why Google Wave is cool ?
1. you can drag and drop stuff like pictures in your browser just like dragging picture in instant messaging program while you are chatting.
2. enhanced spell checker , even can call it word checker. if you type
“ it has bean a logn time for me not eating been soup ” ,
Wave will correct the sentence to
“ it has been a long time for me not eating bean soup ”. 8)
3. easy description of map. while you have conversation , and you want to talk about any places. there is a button for map, where you have to put the place name , and Wave will preview the location we searched. easy.
4. REAL-TIME-CHANGE in Blogger. Let say , if you have dragged a picture in blogger, and you want to edit the name, you can do it in Google Wave and the change will be done on the spot during the editing.
TIMELINE FOR DOCUMENT collaboration!!! – you have a document that can be edited by a group of user. this function will allow us to keep track of the following change of the shared documents.
A REAL-TIME-TRANSLATION when having a conversation with people who is really bad in your language.
If you feel free, watch this video and share your thought in comment! thank you :)

(How To) Renaming Partition Volume Label
OS : Ubuntu Linux
I have some trouble when i tried to rename the volume of my disk. after make some study on it, i've found the solution.
1. recognize the disk
the output should look like this
from here , i can recognize which part of my partition i'd like to rename. In my case, i'd like to change the name at
2. Create Directory
now i have to create a new directory inside /media with name partition2
3. Edit /etc/fstab
better for us to play safe by creating a backup for the file fstab at any directory. In this case , i choose to place it at the same directory as current fstab file.
ps : cp command is "copy" task
open with any text editor, for example gedit.
you should see something like this
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# Entry for /dev/sda1 :
UUID=4b5408bd-8826-400b-9456-f58802583f27 / ext4 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
/dev/sda5 /media/New\040Volume ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0
In this case, i am going to rename a partition from /dev/sda3, so i add this line
ps : if it is already exist, modify the code. dont worry , you have create the backup.
4. remount the device
there you go...you have finish with your task :D

(How To) sending mail using alpine
Filed under:
(How To)
Sorry for the late post. I've been busy before this. So , as what i told you before the next post is about to send email using alpine the terminal based application. i'd like to remind you, that this application is very useful for the person who love to feel how the old time people used to send email, and it is especially used for an admin of a server, who dont even use gui in their server. what they see in their screen is a group of character, combination of character to perform pic. for whoever dont like it, and rather like to use browser , no complain about this i hope.
so..... we can start it now.
open terminal and type "alpine" to start the application
type in your password to get the inbox ready.
now choose "COMPOSE MESSAGE" by pressing "C" without quotes.
fulfill the form.
and to attach any file , we have to press "ctrl+J"
if you remind the file to be sent already, then just type in the address. For example i want to send a document called rinozeen.doc at Desktop.. then i'll just have to put
if you cant remember, no worry cause we can press "ctrl+tab" to find the folder.
then insert any comment and press "enter" (without quotes)
it should look like this
put some message in the body and press "ctrl+x" and press "y" then you are done ... :D

old school email application (alpine+gmail) in ubuntu
hi all... have u ever want to know how people send email before this century? it is pretty cool stuff when we turn back to that time, where internet is not widely used. used only for a certain company or organization. this application "alpine" is really cool for me. i love it so much coz i dont really need graphical email for my own use. this application is terminal based. the gui is only text and symbol and based on linux platform.however, there is also for windows if you would like to try.here is the page for download.
to start the installation;
sudo apt-get install alpine
when the installation is finished, then a little configuration needed.
This is the main menu
go to >> setup >> config
by pressing "s" and then "c" (without quotes)
now , configure these important elements
Personal name :
User Domain : gmail.com
SMTP Server : smtp.gmail.com:587/tls
Inbox Path : imap.gmail.com/ssl/user=user@gmail.com
for example , this is mine
now, you are done with the gmail configuration. you can freely send and recieve email.
The next tutorial, i will show you how to send email using this application.. :D hope u love it.. post a comment for me to improve any weakness. your comment will be appreciated!
