Move your users directory to a different location

Posted on the May 30th, 2010 under Software, Web by Budi Hermawan

By default, on a Windows system, all the user stuff is located on the system drive. That’s great, as long as everything is behaving the way it’s supposed to. But that’s all wrong when you have to do something dramatic like reinstalling Windows, and your data all goes away. Unix systems have been putting the main system stuff and the user data on separate volumes since forever. It would be nice to mimic that on Windows systems.

Profile Relocator is a tool that lets you do just that. Set your system up just so, then choose a different volume for your user data, and you’re good to go. Now if you have to—heaven forbid—reload Windows, you don’t have to worry that all your hard work is going to go away. Unfortunately this tool won’t move existing user profile goodies—although they say that if they were to do so that you might not be at all pleased with the results—so if you decide to use it on an existing system, you’ll probably have to rebuild stuff just one more time. But after that, you’ll have smooth sailing. Hopefully.

A free download for your Windows system, Profile Relocator is designed to work with XP, Vista, and Windows 7.

Add watermarks to your images

Posted on the May 25th, 2010 under Internet, Software by Budi Hermawan

It’s nice to share. When you were a kid, mom told you to share your toys. Helped things run more smoothly in the sandbox. As an adult, sharing is still a pretty good idea. Letting your lunch companion nibble on a couple of your fries is a good thing. So how far do you want the sharing thing to go? If you share your french fries, you have pretty good control over what happens to them once they leave your plate. Share your vacation photos on the Web and you don’t have that type of control.

PhotoWham is a tool that lets you watermark your pictures. It’s nothing fancy: just the ability to label those photos, drawings, or what-have-you so that folks know whence they came. Just enter your text—including a copyright symbol if you want, and press the magic button. You can do individual images, drag-and-drop a handful at a time, or browse to a directory and grab ‘em all. In addition to branding those photos, you can do some image resizing and even rename files or move them into a new folder.

Available for free for home use, you should be able to use PhotoWham with Windows XP and later.

UPIN dan IPIN popular di Indonesia

Posted on the May 24th, 2010 under Internet by Budi Hermawan

Semalam hari ahad.. aku tak pergi mana mana.. so aku habiskan masa untuk meng’explore’ laman sesawang (direct translation website in Malay)..

Entah bagaimana tiba tiba aku termasuk dalam satu blog orang INdonesia yang sedang bercerita tentang Upin & Ipin..

Blog tu agak menarik perhatian aku.. sebab blogger tu suka banget dengan Upin & Ipin.. then aku try google lagi guna keyword yang lebih khusus.. dan banyak result yang keluar..

Kesimpulannya mmg Upin & Ipin merupakan satu fenomena baru di Indonesia.. tidak kira kanak kanak atau orang dewasa mmg suka dengan Upin & Ipin.. selama ni aku tidak tau pun animasi buatan Malaysia ni sudah sampai di sana

Jalan cerita yang islamik dan penuh dgn nasihat merupakan antara daya tarikan… trademark Ipin, betul.. betul.. betul pun sudah menjadi ikutan sampai ada ramai yang sudah ada slang orang Malaysia (Upin & Ipin tidak di dubbing di sana.. hanya guna sarikata INdonesia)

Memang masih ada yang tidak suka kerana sentimen anti-Malaysia masih kuat di sana.. tapi majoriti mmg suka.. sampai jadi iri dgn Malaysia kerana bisa menghasilkan filem animasi yang keren banget.. hehehe

Salute dengan Upin & Ipin..

Betul.. betul.. betul..

Happy 30th Birthday PACMAN

Posted on the May 22nd, 2010 under Internet, Web by Budi Hermawan

Hari ni aku perasan web Google ada kelainan.. guna logo yang ada game Pacman..

Out of curiosity, aku mencari kenapa logo itu di gunakan.. dan akhirnya aku dapat jawapan..

Rupanya. 21 May 2010 adalah birthday Pacman yang ke 30..

Ternyata aku hanya 2 tahun lebih tua dari Pacman..

Seingat aku, first time aku main game ni guna konsol Atari.. masa tu game ni mmg sangat gempak.. boleh layan dari siang ke malam..

Mungkin ramai tidak tau, Pacman di google tu bukan sekadar logo.. ia boleh di main dgn menggunakan keyboard..

Cool!

Thomas Cup : China 3 – 0 Indonesia

Posted on the May 16th, 2010 under News by Budi Hermawan

Akhirnya Thomas Cup melabuhkan tirainya hari ini..

Seperti yang aku jangka dari mula.. China akan kembali mempertahankan kejuaraan..

Nampak jelas tiada negara yang dapat menyaingi China dari segi kekuatan pemain.. semuanya seimbang.. dari pemain perseorangan sehingga pemain simpanan..

Berbeza dengan pasukan Malaysia yang hanya LCW, KKK & TBH untuk di harap. Pemain lain semuanya sudah lanjut usia. So sudah tiba masanya utk Malaysia mencari pemain pelapis sebab aku jangkakan LCW tidak akan berada di tahap puncak pada Piala Thomas 2 tahun lagi..

Aku tau ramai yang kecewa Malaysia kalah kepada China. Sebab dikatakan ini adalah pasukan yang terbaik.. tapi skrip ini jugalah yang aku dengar masa aku datang melihat pasukan beraksi masa Piala Thomas di Stadium Bukit Jalil tahun 2000 dulu.. masa itu di katakan pasukan Malaysia adalah yang terkuat.. tetapi kalah mudah dengan Korea..

Apa apa pun aku mau ucapkan tahniah jugak kepada pasukan Piala Uber Korea Selatan yang menewaskan China..

How to speed up Windows startup time

Posted on the May 12th, 2010 under Internet, Software, Tips by Budi Hermawan

This brief tutorial will show you how to easily trim a second or two from the time it takes for Windows to start up.

Each time Windows starts you’re presented with the Windows “boot logo” and a progress bar. Displaying these items actually causes Windows to load a bit more slowly – because it has to load them. This tutorial will show you how to disable that boot logo and progress bar, allowing Windows to load faster. Note: I timed my Windows startup with and without the boot logo and status bar. The start time averaged 1.9 seconds faster without the logo and status bar.


Click the Windows Start button and select Run from the menu.


Enter msconfig in the Run window and click OK.


Select the BOOT.INI tab. Place a check in the box labeled /NOGUIBOOT, click the Apply button and then the OK button.

At this point you’ll be prompted to restart your PC. Save any open work, close any open programs, and click the Restart button.

Unless you’ve previously disabled the System Configuration Utility “warning” message, it will appear when your computer starts up again. Click OK. The System Configuration Utility will open again – you can revert your changes if anything went wrong (very unlikely, unless you made additional changes outside of the scope of this tutorial). When you close the System Configuration Utility you may be prompted to reboot your PC again – even though you didn’t make any changes this time. You don’t need to, and the “warning” message will not appear the next time you restart.

PLC / SCADA Programming

Posted on the May 11th, 2010 under Internet, Programming by Budi Hermawan

This is what you call Programmable Logic Control or PLC as they like to call it..

It can automate your process..

In our case, we use this PLC to control our pump (Start and Stop) as well as to get the reading for Flow, Pressure and Power meters.

All data will be sent to SCADA system via wireless communication

But before that, you will have to program the PLC to do the job.

It’s not easy though, but that’s what i’m doing right now.. to learn on how to program PLC..
