Free Amazing Alternative Software for CorelDRAW, Microsoft Office, and AutoCAD

November 16th, 2009 2 comments

We not talked about InkScape or OpenOffice or QCAD. These software is amazing for me because the tools and the way they used are almost the same with the commercial one. The softwares are:

1. Serif DrawPlus SE — alternative to CorelDRAW.

Bottle Caps for Free and Environmental-friendly Laptop Stands

October 6th, 2009 No comments

Got this inspiration because I feel the temperature under my laptop is quite hot. Since the original laptop stands is low, so the air circulation is not good for heat release. And I got this idea after seeing bunch of plastics waste – most of them is bottle and separated from organic waste – in my house. Well, why not use the bottle caps for laptop stands ^^

I also use broken file binder for laptop base if I use my laptop in bedroom.

Install G 103M Driver on Windows 7

June 20th, 2009 3 comments

nVidia GeForce G 103M ussually used in notebook for the VGA adapter. Recently I had problem when install it in Windows 7 for my laptop, HP Compaq Presario CQ40-419TX. nVidia has provide the driver in their website [download here], but the driver couldn’t be installed in Windows 7. Windows only want to use default Windows VGA driver instead from nVidia. After doing some experiment, I got the solution.
Download the driver, run the file, 186.03_notebook_win7_32bit_international_whql.exe. If you click it, it will extract firstly to the drive, usually in C:\NVIDIA. Don’t continue the installation, it won’t work since it will only install the HD Audio driver, not the VGA driver. We only need the extracted files.

How To:

1. Open Device Manager -> Display Adapters -> right click on Standard VGA Adapter -> Update Driver Software…
2. Browse my computer for driver software -> Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
3. Click on Have Disk… button.
4. Browse in C:\NVIDIA\DisplayDriver\186.03\International\Displ ay\nvaa.inf
5. Select G 103M. OK.
Now you can experience the aero / 3D flip effect ^^

And for the audio driver, I only use from Windows default, since the driver from HP (for Vista) didn’t work.

Hati-hati Web Phising: www.summer-picz.com. Berbahaya!!

March 5th, 2009 2 comments

Bagi yang belum tau tentang phising bisa lihat deskripsi lengkapnya di Wikipedia (english) (bahasa Indonesia). Intinya adalah penipuan yang dilakukan oleh pengelola web untuk mendapatkan informasi, biasanya username dan password, dari pengunjung web tersebut.
Mungkin modus yang biasa ketahui biasanya sebuah web tersebut mempunyai url yang mirip dg suatu web yang biasa dikunjungi, misal web clickbca.com yang seharusnya web resmi BCA adalah kilkbca.com.
Namun modus yang dilakukan pengelola web www.summer-picz.com berbeda. Web ini menampilkan sebuah kotak login yang mengajak pengunjungnya untuk mengisi user name dan password, bisa Yahoo! atau MSN atau Google. Penipuannya dilakukan dengan mengirimkan pesan lewat Internet Messenger seperti Yahoo!, MSN, atau GTalk. Jadi bila seseorang telah tertipu untuk mengisi informasi loginnya, si “penjahat” ini akan mencuri informasi loginnya lalu menyebarkan link web ini ke teman-temannya korban lewat pesan di messenger. Sehingga teman-teman si korban tidak menyadari bahwa si pengirim bukanlah temannya.
Jadi berhati-hatilah kejahatan Internet (Cybercrime) sudah semakin pintar saja, tidak hanya mengandalkan teknologi semata tetapi dengan teknik yang bernama Social Engineering
Saya cerita begini karena banyak temen-temen yang sudah tertipu padahal lulusan IT (doh).
