The office’s internet connection has been a hassle for a few days already now. We constantly experiencing timeouts, dead connections, server-not-found status, etc on random times. I called Indosat twice today, and as expected, calling to an Indonesian customer service phone line doesn’t exactly solve your problems. By the end of the conversation, she (the call support employee) told me that a virus might cause network problems… Right… On a Mac? Well, there are some viruses available for the Mac, but I don’t think any of them could cause network problems.

Now, you see how PC-minded Indonesia is? Even the largest telecommunications provider doesn’t even know Macs. I feel so sorry for my country.

We settle our differences on the alley next to the office… It’s fun to be able to work in the creative industry, ain’t it?

So here it is, after weeks of development. And looking at the date of my last post, it has been exactly a month. This time, let’s hope I could do a better job on maintaining my blog. Basically this site is a redesign from container. with quirks here and there, and a blog engine change to WordPress, which I found a bit less frustrating to customize to my needs. Other than that, I just redesigned the whole layout to a cleaner and a more hygiene look.

As for life, my life is running on a faster pace right now. I have a lot of work in Neuro-Designs after the expansion on July, I still have my ongoing final project and hopefully this would be my last semester on the campus, and I’m the new musical coordinator for the Imago Dei, as well as a caretaker for my church’s Audio Visual Team. Combining all those things in one life could send my heart dropping from the Terror of Tower sometimes.

Another good news also came from JVC when I got my handycam back a while ago, after that unfortunate incident. The bad news is that I have to pay half the price of a new handycam of the same type for the repairs. But nevertheless, it’s still better than having to pay a new handycam after all. So, now we could do those unimportant video projects me and my officemates have been planning…

Oh yeah, Ario Pratomo was selected as BusinessWeek’s Asia’s Best Entrepreneur Under 25. A huge congrats to him!

Finally I decided to fiddle around with the color settings on my Mac, and for the very first time, I bumped into the closest color setting ever in years. Well, it’s still not that exactly accurate, but I think this would do fine until I can get a professional service working on the calibrations. I am currently using the Colormatch RGB setting, and it’s rather surprising when you can get a close match using a preset option.
