Membaca di iPad

3 Replies

iPad menjadi salah satu device yang sangat nyaman digunakan untuk membaca ebook, browsing website, maupun untuk beberapa fungsi mobile multimedia lainnya. Saya ingin membahas mengenai membaca di iPad.

Aplikasi official dari Apple untuk fungsi membaca ini ada dua, Newsstand dan iBooks. Newsstand untuk majalah/terbitan berlangganan, dan iBooks untuk buku secara umum. Keduanya mempunyai layanan toko online yang langsung terhubung di dalam aplikasi. Jadi untuk mendapatkan buku maupun majalah sangatlah mudah. Selain melalui store online, bs jug melalui iTunes untuk menambahkan koleksi pada iBooks. Format yang bisa dibaca adalah PDF dan pub.

Tampilan awal kedua aplikasi ini mirip. Menampilkan item yang telah kita beli/download.

Sedangkan tampilan saat membaca kedua aplikasi ini mempunyai tampilan yang berbeda. iBooks memberikan tampilan seakan buku beneran. Sedangkan Newsstand tampilannya simpel, hanya per halaman saja.

Aplikasi iBooks dalam posisi landscape

Pengalaman membaca di ipad, menurut saya lebih nyaman dalam posisi portrait. iPad menjadi lebih mudah untuk dipegang. Sedangkan posisi landscape nyaman untuk mengetik, maupun gaming.

PS: Tulisan ini digunakan untuk testing aplikasi wordpress di iPad. 😀

Free Mac OS X Apps

More than 1 year ago, i’ve bought a macbook pro. Almost all software in my macbook is free software. And now i will make list of them.

1. Social Media

  • Twitter for Mac, is an official twitter client.
  • Adium, is a messenger which support multiple protocol.
2. Development Tools
  • TextWrangler, is a rich text editor, can be downloaded from Mac Apps Store.
  • Sublime Text 2, it’s like TextWrangler, a rich text editor.
  • Netbeans, is a full IDE(Integrated Development Environment)
3. Browser
I’m using Google Chrome as my primary browser, and Firefox for debugging. Yeah, Firebug and Web Developer addons on Firefox is much more better than it’s installed in Chrome. I’ve installed Opera browser, but….never use it.. 😀
4. System Tools
  • BetterTouchTool, maximizing use of touch pad. It’s can give more gesture.
5. Personal
  • Guidance, is a Islamic prayer times application for Mac OS X that plays the Adhan when it is time for prayer.
  • Flux, emm.. ever notice how people texting at night have that eerie blue glow? Or wake up ready to write down the Next Great Idea, and get blinded by your computer screen? Flux can avoid this.

Gammu on Mac OS X Snow Leopard

Gammu on Mac OS X Snow Leopard

Installing Gammu on Windows or major Linux distribution is very easy. There is binary distribution for it. But on Mac OS X it can make a little pain for end user like me. 😀


I use gammu 1.28. I was try some other newer version of gammu, but cannot compile it. You have to compile it using cmake(www.cmake.org). You can install cmake using binary distribution(dmg) or using brew.

You can read full tutorial installing gammu in here, complete with error solving. But i did not found error on installing gammu and i dont have to recompile it to use with MySQL.

Stuck on Checking Battery State

Leave a reply

Yesterday, i’ve updated my desktop computer from Ubuntu 11.04 Natty to 11.10 Oneiric. But after system reboot, it stuck on “checking battery state”. After some googling, i’ve found a solution on a comment by Josh.C in here.

This issue was resolved for me by running the following command at a command prompt (ssh, or Ctrl+Alt+F1):

sudo apt-get install lightdm-gtk-greeter

Apparently the upgrade didn’t bother to install the greeter for LightDM, so it fails to fully initialize.

 

And it’s works!! 🙂

Banking

Saya baru mempunyai rekening tabungan beberapa tahun yang lalu. Mungkin sudah bisa dibilang terlambat dibandingkan dengan yang lainnya. Aktifitas perbankan saya pun hanya gitu-gitu saja, hanya berbekal kartu ATM. Buku tabungan saya hanya tercetak setoran awal saja. 😀

Dan akhirnya beberapa waktu terakhir ini terasa semakin membutuhkan perbankan untuk berbagai aktifitas. Saya pun mulai mengamati berbagai tawaran pelayanan perbankan dari bank-bank yang ada di Indonesia ini.
