Since my twitting activity is very rare, realtime clients are not the answer at this moment, I have a Gravity twitter client in my phone. Currently Seven push mail and Palringo IM are the best apps for the job, and for the laptop I run TweetDeck and Facebook Notifications since TweetDeck doesn't give account notifications as it only shows new status like in Live Feed.
I should think of whether Python S60 should be given in the next semester since it is no longer popular. Besides Java ME and mobile web (XHTML), the options are: BlackBerry MDS, iPhone with xcode, and Maemo Qt.
INHERENT (Indonesian Higher Education Network) is growing! TEIN3 backbone is connecting!
I am now exploring Alfresco. Is it any good? anyone
Openfire is an open source Instant Messaging system that allows you to install your own IM server. The protocol is the standard XMPP where you can use in almost all IM clients available. For this Openfire installation I use Spark (standalone application) and Sparkweb as the clients. Here are the steps, I only mention the important points:
1. Download the rpm installation and install it (something like rpm -i openfire-3.6.4-1.rpm)
2. Create a new database manually, in mysql type: create database openfire;
3. Create entries of new user and db in mysql, with its password
4. Dump in the Openfire database (mysql -u -p -p
- update ofUser set plainPassword='adminsnewpass', encryptedPassword=null where username='admin';
11. Restart Openfire (this is a must!): /etc/init.d/openfire restart
11. Go to the users and groups in the admin page, create some users.
12 Install Spark or Sparkweb and test the created users.
That is all about the installation. If you need to have a conference chat then you need to make a room chat from the admin menu. Explore the admin page for more settings.
Last night I purchased Snow Leopard through online Apple Store with a very special price (aprox. 10 USD). This special price comes with those who purchase Mac between June and December 26, 2009. This means that if you buy a Mac before December 26 this year, you still get the old Leopard. Anyway, reading some reviews in the net it looks like Snow is a very fast OS with full 64 bit operation, but it will need more RAM. 2GB will probably not enough for multitasking office apps, IMs and a browser. 4GB of RAM is recommended after installing Snow Leopard. Can't wait to have my order arrive, I will definitely write a review on this.
I am teaching Mobile Device Programming course with Python S60 as the chosen programming language. I am feeling that Nokia is not so popular again. MIDs (Mobile Internet Devices) are available in the market without its own specific applications, they only have: browsers. Yes, browsers. Then this programming course is almost no use studying S60. Better to go back again to web programming, HTML, XHTML, XML, etc.
Java is not so popular anymore with its portable apps. Name performance, style, UIs, etc. It is now about web, web and web.
Petra Christian University's rank is raised to 4th top university in Indonesia, previously 7th. Can Webometrics be a measure to judge universities rank? It is an argument to some people whether Webometrics can be an indicator to this issue.
Indonesia's National Accreditation Body for Higher Education has graded our department an A. Congratulations to all in the department.
I have tried KnowledgeTree and Alfresco, but found them not quite good in performance and features. Does anyone know some alternatives?
I have passed the XCAST, now heading to some other things like mobile device programming, wireless networking, open source programming (python, ruby, etc.) and network specific applications like DTN
I had my Tcl/Tk whiteboard fully working with commands parsed to a text box. I'm wondering how these could be transmitted to the xcast6 network.
We wish you all a wonderful Christmas and a very happy new year! Keep blogging.
You may see some t-shirts listing "The Top Universities in the World" in alphabetical order. Yes, it looks stupid once you see them. Why should a 'top list' listed in alphabetical order that makes AIT on top of all? LOL.
