Choosing good password?

I giggled reading the last line of Google’s Help Centre on choosing a password:

First all of it makes sense, then

Don’t use a password that is listed as an example of how to pick a good password.

Haha… it’s obvious… isn’t it?
Well… my passwords are bad afterall… they’re easy to remember for sure…
I just want to enter passwords quickly, without the numbers or symbols… well,,, sometimes one

Bagaimana dengan password anda? Apakah sulit dipecahkan?…. hingga sulit diingat?

 

New Firefox Addons

I just tried out Safari, and loved the interface. It just looks and feels nice. Too bad I really like Firefox, so I wanted the feel of Safari in my Firefox

iFox Metal is the Safari skin for Firefox. Not 100% but at least it looks nicer to me.

There’s also Yet Another Smooth Scrolling. Makes reading easy on the eyes ^^

And I accidentally stumbled on Furigana Injector useful for showing up hiragana pronunciation on top of kanji words. I also found out about Rikai-chan (I used Perapera-kun, modified Rikai) that shows up meaning of Japanese words. Should’ve known since 6 months ago, oh well, never too late ^^

 

Streaming Indonesia TV

The big news on the death of Indonesia’s former President, Suharto, made me want to watch the news from Indonesian TV channels..

I used the TVU Network for ANTV.

I found Imediabiz.tv (there’s JakTV, RCTI, SCTV, Trans7, TransTV, MetroTV and Indosiar) follow this link
Sometimes you have to wait a long time for a channel to load… well, better than nothing

Surf the Web Anonymously and Open Restricted Websites

Ingin buka friendster.com atau website terlarang tetapi di-blokir oleh instansi sekolah/perguruan tinggi/kantor? Atau ingin membuka suatu website tanpa meninggalkan jejak atau diketahui? Mudah saja, gunakan “anonymizer“. Salah satu contoh:

http://www.pagewash.com/

http://www.iamunblocked.com/

Anonymous (Proxy) surfing allows you to surf the net without having to worry about people knowing what you’ve done and where you have been. You can surf the web safely and anonymously by entering the url (website address) into the web address box and click the begin browsing button. The site will not know who you are, won’t save any cookies or tracking codes, you are free to surf where you want when you want. 

Tapi kalau download file gede (biasanya zip/rar), free proxy nggak mau ngasih lewat, contoh kasusnya mau download dari rapidshare, ya ga mau proxy-nya.
Untuk free proxy lainnya, cari di list di bagian bawah pagewash.com.

 

Search Music di Internet

Banyak juga temen2 yang nanya download musik (mp3) dari internet di mana. Kalo saya sih, search di google:
