Have you ever saw Dan Brown's character, Robert Langdon, which is an expert at language. He also could do puzzles and clues that's been left by history. If you want an experience like that, feel free to look at this link.

Perhaps you just want language that already have been systemized neatly rather that puzzles. This link provides phrases in many languages. Have fun to say something other than your regularly speaked languages.

Google SketchUp 7 works on Linux Ubuntu 8.10

First of all, because google sketchup doesn't have linux installer (even linux-ers really want that), we only one option to use it, using wine. Installing wine proof to be somekind of struggling. You could mess up with it and lost about how to fix it.

Very useful if you play with wine and messed up.

I believe you linux-ers know about apt-get and sources.list editing to install wine. When you have installed it, get yourself google sketchup windows installer from its official site. The filename would be GoogleSketchUpWEN.exe. Open it using wine.

I got 2 errors before I managed to use sketchup on linux. First one kind of sending error message to somewhere else and not stopping at all. I install the newest version of wine which is still in beta version. Second is something with unable to initialize opengl. This fix is at wine official site, which is very helpful, but the troubleshooting shutdowns compiz. Compiz not that important, but quite useful if you want animated desktop. But be asure, compiz is less important than google sketchup. This is the fix :

Maybe google doesn't provide its software to be available on linux, but linux can provide something that enable the software to be run at linux.

You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you'll get what you need.

Yahoo Map and Google Map

http://www.technetra.com/2009/04/19/tutorial-comparing-yahoo-and-google-maps-apis-side-by-side/
This is tutorial about using yahoo and google map side by side at one page. Not really works though. The yahoo map out of sync and goes to coordinate 0. But worth a try.

There will always be competition, whether it leads us to improvement or destruction.

Google Web Toolkit with Maven2

There are several examples about gwt, such as :
http://code.google.com/p/gwtpetstore/
http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/source/checkout
http://code.google.com/p/gwt-google-apis/source/checkout

At last I managed to run gwt (Google Web Toolkit) with maven2. The tutorial is at the link below :
http://gwt-maven.googlecode.com/svn/docs/maven-googlewebtoolkit2-plugin/setup.html

Well, it's not entirely tutorial but from the official documentation. You could read that there are 2 way to use gwt, automatic or manual. Ebooks from all over the world usually taught the manual way with the combination with IDE plugin. I try to avoid all sort of IDE plugin because they make computer kind of slow with those plugins, and not to install any addition of engine if not really necessary. Apparently GWT provides them both, kind of cool development of javascript engine. Especially the automatic one.

Those are all technical, but the real reason why used GWT is to provide some kind of bridge between web development and native development. Maybe, in the near future, there would be no functional differences of applications between OS(Operating System), because applications are all build on top of web tier. That is possible with GWT as its engine. It's like one international language that everyone know, so no matter what machine its used, the machine could compile it and decide the application to be native or web based. As an analogy, you could make the application to be used for public (like newspaper) or you could translate it automatically to your own diary book (which is private).

Internationally used doesn't mean the easiest one.

The Coolest Article About ORM

http://www.agiledata.org/essays/impedanceMismatch.html

Basically we all learn about collecting information we need from what we called database. The data in database considerably very big in its own way, so some method and way of putting data was developped and economized into the point that it's not really related to real world application.

Real world application usually involved object oriented, because human usually thing about object and their relationship. The artice show the difference between object oriented and database view of information. This is what we usually call ORM (Object Relational Mapping). This is the very reason why ORM frameworks are needed.

Same question, different point of view, different answer, same solution if we had the connector.

Finally derby+maven2 database works

http://d.hatena.ne.jp/nobeans/20080423/1208927741

Who needs to install database to build small project, you just need to install maven2. You can see how it works at the link above. Sorry, the xml codes just got automatically edited again and again by this blog, so I can't show it here.

http://db.apache.org/derby/integrate/SQuirreL_Derby.html

By the way, squirrel is kind of editor for derby. It got editor for hsqldb, axion, and many others that based on lightweight database. The link is everything you need to use squirrel.

Unfortunately, the SQL syntax from mysql is kind of rejected by derby, I wonder why. So I have to edit them to fit with derby.

Some language in one place may not worked when you use it at another place. Even if it's the same language.

Byon S1371 troubleshooting

BYON is a brand that offer cheap price like ACER or AXIOO. After doing some research for several days, for a laptop which has processor above 2GHz, memory up to 4 GB DDR2, could burn DVD, integrated camera, bluetooth, integrated wireless and network stuff, and size just right enough for traveller and programmer, which is 13" wide screen, quite cheap price, and good review from internet resources, my choice goes to BYON S1371.

Unfortunately, the cheap price comes with consequences which is no OS. Microsoft stuff isn't cheap and moreover, their stuff got so many blue screen at least once a month, I wonder why (programmer's stuff not really friendly with Microsoft's stuff). So you have to find the free OS which is supported enough for programmer (as far as I know, oracle and their cool stuff only support linux Ubuntu, not slackware). That OS goes to Ubuntu.

Ubuntu isn't as stable as slackware, but it's free and quite friendly with programmer's stuff (but I have no plan on comparing its friendliness with Microsoft's). If only slackware got friendly with programmer's stuff.

Well, anyway, after installing Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex on laptop S1371, all works except camera, fingerprint, and earphone/headphone. Laptop without working earphone/headphone jack is kind of ..., well at least you want to listen music while doing something and internal speaker is out of question for doing that.

Shortly, the earphone/headphone jack not working on laptop BYON S1371 with Ubuntu. So I'm doing another research. At the middle of the research I kind of curious if my laptop hardware defected, so I try to install win on my laptop. It's kind of struggling because oddly, my laptop doesn't detect bootable cd from win. I'm doing research again and kind of succeed when I use both usb and cd bootable. This technique not redoable, because my win kind of crush and I'm planning to deja vu the technique and it's not working anymore. I wonder why. But overall, the hardware works just find with win OS.

So it's about software, and unworking hardware is all about driver. Research, research, and research not really succeed, because I know the technique but the problem solver just not made yet. So it comes to guessing the solver. This install uninstall routines got over and over, and finally the earphone/headphone work on Ubuntu 8.10.

The solution is simple, compared to the research made to find it, and it's kind of involved marketing as well. Why marketing, because the driver that make it works belongs to ACER. Surprisingly BYON and ACER got the same hardware and driver or at least the compatibility between each other is quite high, and it's onboard. I wonder if they got the same factory too.

Technically it just need three steps to fix it, which is :
- open terminal, and type
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
- add the line below to the file and save it
options snd-hda-intel model=acer-aspire
- reboot

Processed for almost three months or 90 days or 2160 hours or 129600 minutes.
Result could be get for less than a minute.

Process is not result.
