Because of Zuma

Pulang kerja sudah larut malam, Saat itu keluarga sudah berada dialam mimpinya masing2. Setelah cuci muka dan lain sebagainya, saya segera menyalakan notebook kesayangan. Sebenernya ga ada yang perlu dikerjakan seh, cuma hati ini masih blom kerasa lega klo blom menyalakan notebook ini. Setelah nyalain Winamp dan dengerin lagunya dewi2 ato tipex bahkan kangen band.. yang biasanya saya lakukan adalah mainan Zuma.

Tahukah kalian apa itu Zuma ? itu loh, Game house yang ada kodok buduk di tengah berputar2 dan mengeluarkan bola dari mulutnya dan meledakkan bola2 yang berjalan di sekitarnya. Yeah.. Sekarang entah kenapa saya lagi seneng lagi mainan gamehouse kodok buduk itu. Padahal ada bergiga "filem" yang melambai2 untuk dinikmati.

Dimulai dari level terendah sampe level tertinggi di mode adventure. . atau dalam mode gauntlet survival. . saya bener2 betah mengendalikan kodok buduk itu menghancurkan bola2 liar disekitarnya. Seneng rasanya jika bisa membuat chain ledakan sampe 4 atau 5 kali atau lebih. Lega rasanya jika bisa memundurkan kembali bola yang sudah hampir masuk ke lubangnya. Dan betapa bangganya jika bisa bertahan selama mungkin sampe sungod. Saat ini paling tinggi sampe sun god 17.

Di tengah keasikan memainkan kodok buduk itu, Tak terasa waktu sudah menunjukkan pukul 2 pagi. Waks.. padahal tadi kan mulai main baru jam 10 malem. Masak saya segitu betahnya bermain game jelek ini sampe 4 jam. Buru2..matikan notebook dan beranjak tidur.. Keesokan paginya, seperti biasa Hape laknat itu tidak bisa membangunkanku tepat waktu. Bangun jam 7, walaupun ada kuliah jam 7, dengan mata masih beraaat sekali. Teringat saat mid semester kemarin, Sebab saya sering terlambat ikut ujian ya gara2 mainan game kodok buduk ini, dan berulang2 terus.. Kala kebosanan melanda di dinding hati, mungkin saat itulah saya akan berhenti bermain Zuma.

Doakan saya, Semoga Besok saya tidak terlambat bangun. .
*Setel Alarm di Hape laknat pada jam setengah 7 pagi.
*mengakhiri postingan ini dan meneruskan bermain Zuma

Misteri sebuah slayer

Pada Suatu hari yang dingin, di suatu dusun yang sunyi. Saat itu cuaca nampak sangat tidak bersahabat. Awan gelap nampak menutupi langit, ditemani dengan hembusan angin yang kadang menusuk sampe ketulang. Hujan sepertinya akan segera turun dengan derasnya.

Saya berada di rumah sendirian, Hanya ditemani suara tokek yang kadang menyahut. Saat itu hari minggu, tapi bukan merupakan hari yang baik untuk pergi, terlebih dalam cuaca seperti itu. Rencana terbaik yang muncul di benak ku adalah mencuci pakaian yang selama seminggu ini melindungi kulitku dari sinar matahari. Tak peduli bahwa kemungkinan hujan turun dan membuat pakaian tersebut akan kering dalam waktu yang lama.

Beberapa lembar kemeja, kaus, celana panjang, celana pendek, kaus kaki, celana dalam dan slayer adalah menu yang siap untuk diaduk2 dengan air dan deterjen. Setelah beberapa menit diputar di mesin cuci, dibilas dan dimasukkan ke pengering, tibalah saatnya untuk menggantungnya ke hanger supaya benar2 kering. kemeja, kaus, celana panjang, celana pendek, kaus kaki dan celana dalam telah berpindah dari tempat pengering ke jemuran.. tapi, dalam batinku bergejolak, serasa ada yang mengganjal dalam diri ini.. SLAYER, tidak bisa kutemukan baik di jemuran maupun di tempat pengering. menghilangkah ?

Segera kuputar otakku, serasa kembali ke masa lalu, berusaha mengingat2 kejadian yang baru saja terjadi itu. Bahkan saya bener2 yakin klo slayer tersebut masih ada sewaktu dimasukkan ke tempat pengering. Berarti benda tersebut hilang sejak dari tempat pengering ke jemuran, yang hanya berjarak 2 meter saja. Kukerahkan panca indera ku menelusuri tempat2 yang sekiranya menjadi tempat tersangkutnya slayer itu.. namun nihil. sekeras apapun kucari, slayer tersebut tak bisa kutemukan. 2 minggu telah beralalu sejak kejadian itu, dan sampai sekarang belum terdengar kabar akan penemuan slayer itu dari penghuni rumah yang lain.

Dimanakah sebenernya slayer tersebut berada ? Apakah mungkin dia bisa menghilang begitu saja? Apakah mungkin ini pertanda benar2 habisnya jodohku dengan slayer tersebut, hingga hilang secara tidak wajar ? Apakah mungkin slayer merah itu pergi dan ingin mencari majikan lain ? Ataukah harus kucari slayer tersebut di hutan atau dipantai ? aku ingin kepasar, segera mencari pengganti slayer itu .

Buat slayer merah yang hilang itu, semoga engkau menemukan majikan baru yang lebih baik.
Untuk Orang yang memberi ku slayer merah itu, Mohon maaf saya tidak bisa menjaganya dengan baik sehingga bisa hilang begitu saja. Makasih untuk slayernya selama ini, sangat membantu. ..

There was life before the computer

An application was for employment
A program was a TV show
A cursor used profanity
A keyboard was a piano!

Memory was something that you lost with age
A CD was a bank account!
And if you had a broken disk,
It would hurt when you found out!

Compress was something you did to garbage
Not something you did to a file
And if you unzipped anything in public
You'd be in jail for awhile!

Log on was adding wood to a fire
Hard drive was a long trip on the road
A mouse pad was where a mouse lived
And a backup happened to your commode!

Cut--you did with a pocket knife
Paste you did with glue
A web was a spider's home
And a virus was the flu!

I guess I'll stick to my pad and paper
And the memory in my head
I hear nobody's been killed in a computer crash
But when it happens they wish they were dead!

Would you define OCR?

OCR - Optical Character Recognition

A technology that can take written words and convert them back into computer-readable form, provided they're in the right font, using the correct colors sometimes, at the right point size and pitch, dark enough on the paper, and you're prepared to spend several centuries correcting all the 1's that came out as l's, all the O's that came out as 0's, and all the :'s that come out like ;'s.

Are Computers Men or Women?

A language teacher was explaining to her class that in French, nouns unlike their English counterparts, are grammatically designated as masculine or feminine.

"House" in French, is feminine -"la maison," "Pencil" in French, is masculine "le crayon."

One puzzled student asked, "What gender is computer?" The teacher did not know, and the word was not in her French dictionary.

So for fun she split the class into two groups appropriately enough, by gender and asked them to decide whether "computer" should be a masculine or a feminine noun.

Both groups were required to give four reasons for their recommendation.

The men's group decided that computer should definitely be of the feminine gender ("la computer"), because
No one but their creator understands their internal logic
The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else
Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later review
As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheque on accessories for it.

The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be masculine "le computer") because:
In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on.
They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves
They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem
As soon as you commit to one, you realise that if you had waited a little longer you could have gotten a better model.
