Twit. Er

Wednesday, August 01, 2007

Signed up for twitter earlier and it looks like fun.

Btw, I wonder if K618 can be made compatible with Mac OS X without the plugin from mobile.feisar.com. The one from mactomster.de doesn't appear to work with iSync 2.4. -update: this is the old plugin for pre 2.4. The new set is no longer free.

If you're wondering why I'm wondering about the above, check out my twitter. I appreciate if anyone can help me set up twittering from my phone. The number they gave me for verification via sms doesn't seem to work.

Birthdays

Tuesday, June 12, 2007

-ubermacgeek-

On mine, I get a sneak preview into Mac OS X Leopard, to be released in October. Sometime this month, I'll get another sneak preview of my baby. Some of you may not know this but my baby's scheduled to be born in... October. So if everything goes according to schedule, my kid and Mac Leopard will share birth month.

Supercool. (Maybe not)

Too much is (not) enough?

Saturday, April 07, 2007

People say choice is good, but I say having too many can be confusing. Take the number of TV stations operating in Jakarta for example. We have RCTI, SCTV, TPI, Global TV, Indosiar, Trans TV, Trans|7, TVRI, ANTV, O Channel, JakTV, Lativi, SpaceToons.

13 TV stations. Ironically the majority of the stations show pretty much the same content; gossip, soap, and games. 13 choices, zero option. I still don't watch local TV.

Speaking of numbers, there are 5 mobile networks operating in Jakarta, Telkomsel, Indosat, XL, Mobile 8, and Three. 5 may be a small number but each operator has prepaid and postpaid services, which make at least 10 options. This is before we break the services down even further.

Telkomsel has Kartu Halo (Post), Simpati (Pre), and As (Pre).
Indosat has Matrix (Post), Mentari (Pre), IM3 (Pre)
XL has Xplor (Post), Bebas (Pre), Jempol (Pre)
3 currently only has one of each.
Mobile 8 has two products as well, Fren prepaid and postpaid

That's 13 mobile network connection options. Talk about spoilt for choices and I haven't mentioned the cheaper CDMA options. Don't get me started on the number of Apple resellers in Jakarta, with the authorized and non-authorized outlets all over the place.
