PHP Twitter Status Update
Posted by arisetyo | Filed under general
Meng-update status Twitter menggunakan bahasa PHP sebenernya sangat simpel. Yang diperlukan hanya ketersediaan ekstensi cURL pada server PHP yang digunakan. Sedangkan value yang dibutuhkan hanya tiga : username Twitter, password, dan message yang akan dikirimkan. Berikut adalah contoh core script pengiriman status update ke Twitter :
AJAX with jQuery
Posted by arisetyo | Filed under general, review
Beberapa waktu lalu saya sempat menulis artikel tentang AJAX menggunakan teknologi seperti Javascript, XMLHttpRequest, DOM, PHP, dst. Well, the truth is, I felt like lying to the readers. Bukannya artikel blog yang saya tulis 100% bullshit, the AJAX in that article really works.
Tetapi kenyataanya di lapangan, saya tidak pernah bersusah payah membuat script Javascript untuk menyelesaikan fitur-fitur AJAX. Dan saya rasa sebagian besar developer web tidak membuat sendiri script AJAX untuk kebutuhan web-nya (kecuali yang bener2 rajin).
Sebagian besar developer menggunakan library-library Javascript yang tersedia di internet. Apakah itu Moo, YUI, atau Prototype+Scriptaculous. My personal favorite is of course jQuery. Jadi di artikel ini saya akan menerankan cara menggunakan fitur-fitur AJAX menggunakan jQuery.

Stand Up Indonesia!
Posted by arisetyo | Filed under general, review
There isn’t much to cheer about if we’re talking about Indonesia these days. Just read any local newspapers and you’ll get the idea. Poverty, crime, and corruption are as high as they have always been. And I won’t keep it a secret, but my patriotism is diminishing all through the years. And Indonesian, or the Malay race in general, just can’t get out of their (our) bad reputation, as slackers with intolerably low discpline.
But there’s still hope. I have always believed that our reputation as slackers are purely misplaced and out-of-date generalization. If we look closely, our fellow countrymen (and women) are just as good as any of our counterparts in anywhere on the globe.
This morning I read an article in Time magazine. It is about the global financial crisis and its impact on South East Asia. It seems that Indonesia is one of the few countries which suffer the lowest impact from the global crisis. And according to the article, we Indonesian should be thankful to our financial minister, Sri Mulyani Indrawati.
She is so good, as I quote from a global economic analyst, she could be the Finance Minister in any country in the world. And her accolades stand as testimonies to that. For two years in a row she has been named Finance Minister of the Year by specialist magazines Euromoney (2006) and The Banker (2007). Forbes magazine last August honored Mulyani as the 23rd Most Influential Woman in the World, a position that also put her at number three on the list of Asia’s most powerful woman. And according to Emerging magazine, she is the Best Finance Minister in Asia.
I can’t understand why most Indonesians suffer an inferiority complex in the global community. Perhaps it is a product of three and a half centuries of colonialism. Perhaps it is our culture or social upbringing. How many stories have I heard about achievements made by the citizen of this country in the world stage. And the same amount of stories I have heard about the relatively lower performance from expatriates compared to our own fellow Indonesians.
So stand up people! We are not inferiors. We are as good as any other people in the world. We can be as good as any developed countries. We can surpass any other emerging countries. Make the world stop and take notice. Make them shiver. Let show them what we can do.

the dissonant sound of love
Posted by arisetyo | Filed under philosophy
it’s been months since i wrote my last blog. between hectic schedule and relentless deadlines, putting down what’s on my mind seemed so far behind in my list of priorities. and this situation is unlikely to end in a distant future.
but i was so much intrigued to write a blog after i recently read two very interesting articles. both use love as their main theme. although one is somewhat platonic, and one is more romantically inclined, both ended gloriously in sad endings.

tu me manques
Posted by arisetyo | Filed under personal
Think of me, think of me fondly,when we’ve said goodbye.
Remember me once in a while - please promise me you’ll try.
When you find that, once again, you long to take your heart back and be free -
If you ever find a moment, spare a thought for me
We never said our love was evergreen, or as unchanging as the sea -
but if you can still remember stop and think of me . . .
Think of all the things we’ve shared and seen -
don’t think about the things which might have been . . .
Think of me, think of me waking, silent and resigned.
Imagine me, trying too hard to put you from my mind.
Recall those days look back on all those times, think of the things we’ll never do -
There will never be a day, when I won’t think of you . . .

Flash CS4: Fully Recharged!
Posted by arisetyo | Filed under review
Cukup lama saya tidak menyentuh Flash. Bisa jadi dalam 1 tahun terakhir ini saya hanya menyentuh Flash pada saat mengajar saja. Padahal sebelumnya Flash adalah salah satu tool favorit saya dalam pembuatan content multimedia di web. Tetapi semenjak Flex, saya cenderung beralih.
Tapi bisa jadi rasa kekaguman akan keajaiban Flash yang sekitar 10 tahun lalu sempat menggema di seantero web, bakal terulang lagi. Get ready for Adobe Flash CS4. Dengan seabreg fitur baru, Flash CS4 lebih dari sekedar upgrade, ini adalah versi yang benar-benar dapat meredefinisi cara kita membuat animasi Flash.
Dengan fitur utama object tweening (a la Director), pembuatan tweening menjadi akan jauh lebih mudah, terutama bagi para pemula Flash. Fitur-fitur lain seperti inverse kinematic (tulang), motion editor, motion preset, 3D transform tool, dan tentu saja dukungan AS3 dan Adobe AIR, membuat Flash menjadi salah satu software terbaik 2008.
I guarantee that!
Problem mysql.sock
Posted by arisetyo | Filed under review
Masalah ini mungkin pernah dialami oleh teman-teman yang pertama kali menggunakan atau baru belajar Ruby-on-Rails di Linux. Pada saat hendak melakukan migrasi database (rake db:migrate) menggunakan IDE RadRails, muncul error message seperti ini:
“no such file /tmp/mysql.sock”
Saya sendiri newbie Rails dan yang membuat masalah ini semakin parah, saya juga baru setahun terakhir menggunakan Linux.
Setelah kebingungan, ngutak ngatik sana sini, akhirnya Google tetap memberikan hasil terbaik ;P..
Ternyata masalah ini disebabkan karena pada saat kita menggunakan Linux (dalam hal ini saya menggunakan openSuse 10.2), kemungkinan MySQL telah ikut terinstal. Dan ini menyebabkan file mysql.sock disimpan di tempat yang “unik”. Dalam hal ini file mysql.sock saya tersimpan di var/lib/mysql (untuk distro lain seperti Ubuntu, biasanya disimpan di /var/run/mysqld/).
Ternyata solusinya sangat simpel. Cukup buat sebuah link simbolik :
ln -s /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock /tmp/mysql.sock
maka perintah rake db:migrate tadi akhirnya dapat berjalan sempurna, dan saya dapat melanjutkan belajar Rails… 
good luck!
Dugong PHP-Flex Framework
Posted by arisetyo | Filed under personal
Dugong adalah sebuah framework PHP-Flex yang ditujukan kepada para programmer Flex-PHP (dooh..). Framework ini menggunakan AMFPHP sebagai sarana komunikasi antara Flex dan PHP.
Tujuan dibuatnya Dugong adalah untuk lebih mempermudah proses pembuatan aplikasi berbasis PHP dan Flex. Dikembangkan dari PHP-Flex Framework-nya Mike Potter dan beberapa contoh dari Jack Herrington. In this first version, I just simply added a database modelling class, an ActionScript RemoteObject class sample, PHP and MySQL sample files. Nothing much.
Buat programmer PHP yang ingin belajar Flex, dan sebaliknya, this one is for you. Juga buat programmer PHP-Flex yang sebelumnya menggunakan RESTful Service atau Web Service.
Dugong adalah hewan mamalia air lucu yang hidup di muara sungai. Kinda a mix of PHP’s elephant and MySQL’s dolphin.
Klik di sini untuk mendownload Dugong 0.2.7. Harap maklum kalau masih banyak kekurangan. Mohon kritik dan sarannya..
sepi…
