A Little Word Before I Go for A While....

Hello again my dear readers and friends!
As I said before, a bunch of post is coming! And this is a part of it!

So, why do I post another post so quick?
Well, it's because I have something important to do and I think I need to tell it to y'all...

Firstly, I bet some of you already know that I'm a member of BNEC (Bina Nusantara English Club). And this thing I will do is connected to this.

Secondly, some of you maybe already know that I'm one of the scrabble player from BNEC. And this thing I will do is connected to this.

Hmmm.... If I keep this way of writing it will take ages to tell you what I want to tell. Okay, let's make things quick. So, a few weeks ago I joined a selection for a scrabble competition in POLINELA & UNILA Lampung. After a hard and heated selection, I managed to join the rank of those who will go to POLINELA!

So, the competition will be started on this Wednesday until Thursday. And to make it in time, we are going tonight at 8 o'clock.
The guys (yes, no girls at all!!) who will be going are :

1. OB
2. Albert
3. Vedro
4. Julius
5. Benard (That's me!)
6. Sumahandi

We will try hard to take honor for our club! Please support us by any means possible ;)
So, see you again after I returned and meet some internet connection again! LoL

Whoops! Look at the time! I'm almost late! Ehem,
This is Benard reporting, see you on the next post!!
Aaaaaannnnddddddd CUT!!

Persona and Firefox 3.6

Hello to fellow Firefox user!!
Right now I want to say something about this browser...

If you're using firefox, u will notice that firefox will ask you to change to the newest version, which is Firefox 3.6. Well, it already ask me to upgrade since long, but I just upgrade it a few minutes ago. And right now, I regret that I didn't do it earlier...

So, what's make me love this new version so much? The most important thing is they have change the new tab feature in 3.6. You see, in the old Firefox, if you choose to open a link in a new tab, the new tab will be opened on the far right on the tab list. What's wrong with this? Well, nothing wrong if you are a normal guy who browsing with only less than 10 tabs. But, its really annoy me who browsing with what looks like infinite tabs (fyi, right now there are 26 tabs opened on my browser, with my personal record 50 tabs which all of them are usefull).

What they change is when you open a new tab it's no longer open on the nowhere in the farthest right. Now, when I center click (default shortcut for new tab) a link, it will open right beside my current tab. That's mean when I'm on the, let's say, 7th tab, the new tab will be opened on the 8th tab! For most of you it doesn't do much. But for me, it helps me a lot. Well, that's said, it also has some negative effect for me. When I research something, I usually need it to be organized on a single location on my swarm of tab. So, I think it will hinder me a little (Or maybe you will see another post about Firefox 3.6 with me hating the new new tab feature).

The next thing you should notice is persona. It's not about a group of insane student who fight monsters in a crazy tower maze with creature come from blowing their heads with some guns to prevent the destruction of the world (fellow gamers know what I'm talking about). Persona that I'm talking about is a new feature on firefox. I take that you all have know about theme on firefox. Theme will change appearance of your firefox, from background, font, to buttons. But, with persona, you only change the background of your firefox. Moreover, it can be done with only a few click. You can take it from the gallery, or you can also create a custom Persona if you have install the Persona Plus. If you already create your own, you can also submit it to the gallery and see them used by thousands of Persona user. Basically, Persona is like an equivalent of Desktop Background on Windows. They only provide a different view without changing button, icon, etc. You can also change persona without restarting your firefox. This will help a lot for a guy with infinite tab around. Just imagine how long you must wait for those tabs to load whenever you want to have a fresh appearance on your beloved browser. Thank God its not like that.

So, enough blabbering from me. I hope my simple review can help a lot of you guys to think whether you need to upgrade or not. As I said in my previous post, you can expect a lot of post in the future, and this, this is just a beginning. I have a bunch of topic to post here. Maybe tomorrow I will post again....

Aaaaaand, cut!

Something definitely Change

It's been quite a while since my last post. Somehow I lost some desire to write this month. Thankfully, lately I've been driven to start writing again.
Actually, I was planning to join some Short Story Competition this month. The deadline is on 27 of March. Somehow, even though I already got a good story, I was reluctant to write it. And what happen after that? Here I am, one day before deadline, without anything to send. Not even a word has been written.
This also happened to my Afterlife. I already write some when somehow I started to stop writing. Well, I've been start this afterlife for quite a few month, but I only managed to write 5 chapters so far. This is far beyond my plan...

Well, that's over now, I hope. By writing this post, it's already a proof that my passion on writing has come back at last. My plan for now is to constantly posting here and working on my Afterlife as quick as I can. Hmm... I think I gonna drop my vote system on my Afterlife. It hold me to write faster...

Aside from that, there's something definitely changing inside me. I don't know what but I can feel it. I think it started around this week. From what I observe, the most important thing that change is my way of seeing girls around me has change. Well, not to the negative way(I know what some of you thinking), but to a different way. I can't describe it well, but I know there's something wrong change. It seems I become more brave around them. Where did this courage came from?

Another important thing that change is my adaptive skill. I think it has improved somehow. I become more adaptive around some new environment and atmosphere. I think it has some connection with courage that I was talking about. Well, at least I change into a better man, right?

My way of thinking is also change. For this way I should give credit to "3 Idiots". It's a great movie that change my way of thinking (I'll tell you about the movie latter). What change inside me is not really the same with what that movie give. Errr, I can't explained it well. Anyway, I think my dedication around various things has improved now. And right now I'm trying to write more, watch more, draw more, study more, and read more. It's only a plan right now, but I think if I write it down here, I'll be feel more responsible with the outcome.

Well, I've said all I want to said. It's quite long, but bear with it ;)
So, from now on, you can expect many updates from me. Whether it about me, movie review, anime review, game review, afterlife, drawing, anything!!!!!! Ehem, I'll try hard to keep this blog moving on and on. Even when no one read it.

This is Benard speaking, see you on the next post!

Terror on Indowebster

What's with my title??
That's may be what one of you think....

Well, last night (Sunday) my beloved forum, Indowebster, went down.
I contacted my pal, zereon aka eric, and he said it's under maintenance.

Well, If you one of the users on IDWS, this thing maybe not gonna bother you much...
Last January there was thing like this and a lot longer.

So, when I arrived at my boarding house today I try to open it.
Well, as I'm expected, it was still under maintenance.
After class I went to my friend boarding house.
I borrowed his notebook to open IDWS (what a persistent guy!)
Guess what! It's opened!!! Yay!!!

But, then I realized that something is wrong.
When I check again, my post drop!!
I lost 50's of my post!
It was 620 before, and now it's 550!!
Then I go to lounge and found some difficult fact to handle.
IDWS went a rollback.

Yeah, that's mean it went back to sometimes condition on the past.
It seems it went to around 22th of February.
It's quite sucks.
I lost 20-30 thanks, 10-20 grp, and 50-60 post.

But, there are some guys who lost 300-500 thanks, 200-300Grp, and 200-500 post.
Hearing that, I'm relieved.
When you in a bad condition, go to guys with worse condition. You will feel better.
That's my lesson for today....
Hopes it doesn't affect me much X(
