Pengolahan sampah dan kekerasan

Judul ini sepertinya sama sekali gak nyambung...Apa coba hubungan
sampah dan kekerasan? yang satu soal penanganan sesuatu yang merupakan
buangan, yang satu suatu tindak emosional pada suatu struktur
masyarakat...... Ini dia kejadian yang bikin saya (semakin) geleng2x
pada fenomena di negeri ini

Masyarakat Cilonjong (salah spell mungkin?) di Bogor, Jawa barat
memprotes pemindahan TPA Bantar Gebang ke daerah mereka. Kebijakan ini
notabene berawal dari pememerintah DKI Jakarta yang mencari tempat
alternatif TPA dan dipilihlah Cilonjong. Hanya saja, tampaknya
keputusan ini tidak diambil secara komprehensif. Buktinya? Masyarakat
Cilonjong memprotes pemindahan TPA ini.

Awalnya berdasar berita2x baik koran dan TV, masyarakat berusaha
menyampaikan komplain secara baik2x (ini memang relatif, tp menurut
saya masih dalam tataran musyawarah), tapi seperti biasa, di Indonesia
hanya musyawarahnya aja yang jalan, hasil nol besar. gak di DPR, gak
di tataran masyarakat. Singkat kata, malam ini saya nonton TV,
ternyata terjadi massive chaos di bakal TPA Cilonjong. Masyarakat
mengamuk membakar mobil, menghancurkan properti kantor. Polisi lalu
menghalau warga dan melepaskan tembakan peluru (tajam) ke bbrp orang
(tersangka).

yang agak lucu campur tragis, saya melihat ada kakek2x yang dituduh
seorang anggota polisi sebagai salah satu provokator kerusuhan dan
diseret paksa oleh polisi. Saya gak akan komentar panjang dulu soal
seret menyeret ini, tp saya akan berkomentar dua hal

1. Sepertinya decision making di negeri ini tambah hari bukannya
getting better malah getting worse. Sekedar masalah TPA saja gak bisa
diambil suatu keputusan yang win-win, malah menghasilkan suatu win
lose solution. Parameternya apa? apa karena penolakan warga? Bukan
itu. Di semua negara (maju) yang namanya TPA itu jauh dari pemukiman
warga sehingga tidak menimbulkan polusi, tp ini malah dekat pemukiman.
Kedua, sampah dari jakarta dibawa ke Bogor? Gak salah nih? Cost
pengangkutannya apa gak malah jadi membengkak? Lagian, apa sampah kalo
dibawa ke Bogor terus banjir bisa mereda? Bukan rahasia lagi, sampah
adalah number 1 factor penyebab banjir...

2. Nah ini soal pengendalian massa. Seperti biasa polisi akhirnya
represif. OK, that's fine. tapi sampai peluru tajam apalagi melakukan
identifikasi prematur pada calon tersangka? He he he....Udah kering
kayaknya lidah saya komentar ginian.....Lucu bin ajaib binti
membingungkan

Lalu sekali lagi saya membayangkan "Kayaknya kalo Moshe Bar denger
berita ginian, dia akan tertawa geli dari kantor Qlusters di New York
dan tel aviv...." "begini kok Mulyadi Santosa, that smart ass guy,
want to challenge israel? he is better dreaming on his bed". Ya
memang, kalo negara ini begini terus, jangankan mengimbangi Israel
(dah ini mimpi aja deh, kayaknya baru seabad lagi baru bisa), bisa2x
Indonesia ketinggalan jauh ama vietnam. Selalu dan selalu akarnya,
suatu kebijakan pemerintah baik pusat atau daerah yang
prematur.....hrrhh :D Abis lah kata2x gue hari ini...mau ketawa
soalnya campur sedih :D :D :D

Bgmn pak Sby dgn gebrakan 100 hari anda? Bisakah anda menengahi
masalah ini?

CONDOLECENCE FOR YASSER ARAFAT, LEADER OF PLO

Today, November 11th, 2004, Yasser Arafat died in France after suffering
some strange coma caused by lack of brain liquid. The exact cause still
hasn't been announced, either by official spoke person of France hospital,
member of PLO's board of executive or Zuha, Arafat's wive. Many people believe,
it is Israeli's government which took full responsibility. Mossad, Israeli's
intelligence, was suspected putting somekind of poison that slowly degrading
human antibody and damaging metabolism.

Above all, personally, I know Arafat since I was 4 or 5 years old. I remembered
the news reporter mentioned his name everytime there was a news about Palestine-
Israel conflict. Only few thing I know about him, but one thing that I respect most,
is the way he fought for country. A burning spirit that never died, even under heavy
pressure of Israel government. Especially, since Ariel Sharon took Israeli's leadership, israeli government put lots of pressure toward Arafat and isolate him ( I forgot where, maybe somewhere on Gaza). because of this isolation, Arafat can no longer live with his family. His wife and his only daugther must live in France to avoid israel's threat

truthfully, me and Arafat are not same person. He is a moslem and I am a Catholic.
But one thing that surprise me most, I saw a picture on local newspaper, there are
4 Rabbi of Jewish (it is mentioned that they are Anti Zionis) that showed their condolecence for Arafat. In some Palestine churches, people (of course, Catholic are minority in palestine) pray for Arafat. There was also memorable picture of Arafat shaking John The Pope. This facts showed that Arafat is well known among people, even with different religion.

Very few Moslem man who I know that gets such an honorship and Arafat proved he was
the true Moslem ! "Rahmatil bin alam", hope I don't mispelled, meaning "to bring
peace and prosper among all of God's creation in whole universe"

Maybe the only similarity between me and Arafat is, we both have tough Israeli's enemy. If he is considered #1 enemy of Ariel Sharon, me.....don't be shocked, I already considered #2 (if not #1) enemy of Moshe Bar, one of toughest and formidable israeli scientist and CTO...who is....Jewish. Maybe, in some point, I can understand why Arafat put continous struggle toward Israel. Don't get me wrong, not all of Israeli citizen are bad. There are also good people too. Same thing happen on all other country, US, Indonesia, Malaysia, German, France, u name it. Accidentaly, Arafat must face israel's pressure, and me, I can't stand hearing Moshe bluff about clustering.And finally, we both end up in final conclusion, win-win solution was hard to achieved..so..confrontation was the only answer. We both know the consequences and we both step into it. NO REGRETS !

Rest in Peace, Mr Arafat. May God reward on everything you do for your country
and I hope peace will come on Palestine so there won't be anymore victim of the war

Back to home.....continuing my journey....

November 8th, 2004, 9 AM, i stepped back into my home at Porong. After spending
2 and a half month on bandung, I decide "ok, this is it. This is the ending, i can't
hold any longer". Luckily, my "stunt in", Rachman, had been prepared to take over
my job. Several pieces of new multithread engine for calculation/render engine, improved timer function based on native WinAPIs and save/reply engine. Except the timer functions, everything is still on beta stage. I can't push them further into mature stage because multithread engine must "wait" for stable stage of object design. This isn't a must, but IMO to lessen the "dependency hell", i decide to put multi thread engine "on hold".

But, this doesn't mean there won't be any progress. My instruction (to Rahman) is clear, "put concentration on OOP first, make thread engine 2nd priority. There won't be any thread engine if OOP design is crippled !"

The train was quite crowded last night. Looks like everyone want to celebrate "lebaran" at hometown together with their family. Same rule apply to me, although I am not Moslem. But.....gee....I really hate to say it.....ahh, i don't give a damn care ....yes, I am quite frustated by one thing...GIRL! A man who dare to challenge one of toughest Israeli's scientist and CTO of IT company, can't resolve his problem with girl ! yes, that poor man is me !

" Me, me, me and me".....God damn it ! Shit, i push both of my brain to work
on it...but still no way out. I use every logical reasoning, problem solving technique, etc etc....even trial and error....but I still can't break this puzzle ! R-E-L-I-G-I-O-N ! Let God curse me, but sometimes I feel religion is no more than social barrier rather than "God's word to teach mankind into salvation".

"Why, why, why do I have to meet her?"

Or better question maybe (worst in sick logic) "why the hell, God put me and her into
same time and place dimension that time?" She came across the bookstore room, I look at her, the chemistry is fired...and......

OK, let me put that aside. Deep inside this "logic", I still have feeling to her. Now, my focus is...working on my article (co-authored with my friend, Andreas Schaefer) toward IBM DeveloperWorks. The topic is about coLinux and openMosix integration on Windows platform. This will be a breakthrough to integrate Windows-based PC into Linux based openMosix cluster. In earlier time, the only way to achieve it is via running openMosix-Linux kernel inside VMWare.

But considering the "overburden effect" of VMware, the developers is still looking for alternative answer. Luckily, coLinux arises ! And to add another luck, the editor welcomes my idea and give positive critics and comment ! What a luck. Now, it depends on me to finish it the best I can

Too much I have said.....to be continued guys...

Toward Pre emptive scheduler

Pusing ama judul diatas? Well, me too :D

Basically, itulah kerjaan gue. High resolution timer, lowering latency between message post and message dispatch, controlling priority, stuff like that. Ngelu poll pokoke..dan parahnya, sedikit yang bisa diajak diskusi. Apa gak stress coba?

Fibre thread still bothers me.....tp normal threading tetap terbuka kemungkinan dipakai. Fibre thread memang ringan, tp karena terbatas harus ditrigger didalam satu thread yang sama, tidak dimungkinan menswitch dari thread lain? atau mungkin....post message? nah ini....sama lagi...delay dari post message ke message dispatch nya itu yang bikin sebel gak kepalang....bisa ampe 18 ms...padahal butuh kecepatan tinggi

tapi untunglah ada "hiburan" laen. Lari pagi, makan siang ama cewek, nonton film, cukup membantu menghilangkan stress (gak hilang sih, cuma banish for a moment, after that ya muncul lagi :D). Mungkin memang udah saatnya latihan san shou......pasang foto muka si Moshe bar, terus ditinju 100x ama teknik cakar elang, sounds like interesting...i'll think about it ASAP

OK, guys...see u next time

The long journey for designing multi thread engine

Hello there....Kita ketemu lagi !!


Sumpek, kesal, gembira, campur lapar :D itulah the description for my daily activity on Indonesia Army project. Lots of reading PDFs, long hour of boring but challenging experiments, computer crash (oh yes, that's fuckin "Don't send" message box makes me sick). "For what?" you say? Guess what, to design "near" real time multi thread engine....imagine that...doing such a work on Windows...holy shit. Masih mending kalo di QNX atau VxWorks....

But man got to do what man got to do...jadi gue santap aja nih kerjaan. Lama2x gue nyikat semua area sulit di project...tapi bayaran statis :D apesnya gue......

Blom lagi masalah2x personal antar member di project. Hard to tell you, but one thing I know, it is as complex as labyrinth. Not to mention catchin deadline.....rearranging work priorities....discussin stuff with the local army stuff....phiewwww....

OK, looks like I need to get off today....i'll see u guys tomorrow...if I am still "alive" :DDD

Debate with an old friend from Israel....

Judul diatas bukan berarti saya sentimen dengan orang Israel......kebetulan saja postingnya di milis openMosix general bikin saya bertanya-tanya dan mau marah...

Wonder what kind of sentences that brought me such an anger? here they comes:

Tulisan saya dimulai langsung tanpa tanda '>' diawal baris
Tulisan "rekan" saya Dr Moshe Bar diawali dengan '>' diawal baris.....

Hello everybody


>thread migration will never ever achieve achievable performance, because by their >very nature they will have lots of true sharing which is impossible to overcome.


true....but IMO if you move group of thread altogether, it is still worth to try...



>migshm can be part of openMsoix within the next 2 or 3 months if users test it >enough.

what is the real constraint for stress test so we can all agree that "this is enough"? we never agree 100% about it....


>OpenSSI migrates all at once and therefore is unusable for large processes. OpenSSI >does not have much of their code, they take code from us, from GFS and others. It's >an integration project rather than a true development project.


Agree, but AFAIK integration too takes medium to big effort.....have you ever think how much effort on mixing two or more things to work together that is naturally have its own paradigm, mechanism, etc etc?


>Kerrighed is interesting, but very slow.


any real data?


>if you want to do real, no non-sense HPC today, go with openMosix. We have a big >community of users, lots of add-ons and some of the very brightest developers.


Please define what do you call by "non sense"? "useless"? "just theoritical"? "obsolete"? or else? pardon me if my English is so bad that I can't even understand that sentence a bit even with my logic fully attached on my left and right brain....


About brightest......gee Moshe.....so, you want to say that you are the brightest man on Earth? I saw your discussion with Aneesh Kumar of HP USA and it seems you just quit in the middle of discussion.....bad Internet link maybe?

And, let me recall.....if you send this kind of e-mail again, i won't bother to remind you.....even if openMosix community is collapse...i won't take a damn care anymore...

Kembali sejenak ke rumah......

Senin 20 September 2004, jam 2:00 AM

Here I sit again in front of my PC....on 2 o'clock in the morning. Yes, I return to my home...but just for 3 days. Gue nyampe disini sejak sabtu pagi...and guess what...it's good to be at home ! I CAN WORK AND EXPRESS MY THINKING 100% WITHOUT BARRIERS, OBSTACLE OR OTHER GRUELING THINGS ! Mungkin gue ini style seniman, istilah gue, seniman komputer.....gue bekerja purely on instinct and environment adalah guru gue.

So, what happen on the Army project? Ya gitulah.....still on development stage...early stage I mean. "Ngapain aja sih?"...wah susah diomongin di blog coi..soalnya ni project confidential. memang sih gak ada ancaman bakal digantung kalo gue bocorin, tp gw berusaha komit aja ama kerahasiaan project. "emang loe dibayar brp?" Ya pokoknya kira2x kalo dibeliin dawet, tuh dawet bisa loe pake cuci muka ampe muka loe yang gantian kayak dawet :D :-))))))))))))))))))

BTW, gw nge-POP3 e-mail2x gw di TelkomNet ama softhome...uah bejibun abis. openMosix, openSSI, UML devel, Beowulf, etc etc semua datang bagai hujan. Mana yang UML isinya dominan patch (kebanyakan dari si Paolo Gialarusson aka BlaisorBlade). Gw udah gak sempat pelajari patch2x ini, bisa meledak otak gue. Paling gw amati thread diskusi soal NPTL dan TLS di UML, masih muter2x gmn cara nambahin syscall2x NPTL...Jeff Dike kayaknya udah getting closer di solusi tapi kita lihat aja final resultnya.

OpenMosix akhirnya release 2.4.24-2....pheuw. Kernel udah 2.6.8-1 dan 2.4.27, ini openMosix masih di 2.4.24....FYI 2.4.24 ini udah officially dari kernel.org udah dirilis diatas 8 bulan. Belom kapok aja memang si Moshe ama gaya manajemennya, udah gue ingetin untuk lebih dekat ke komunitas, kayaknya nih orang bebal juga...

Gw di rumah like usual nerusin bbrp kerjaan nulis. Masih stuck untuk tulisan buat IBM DeveloperWorks....lagian si Andreas Schaefer masih vacation. berabe juga ....tp ya udahlah, si Andreas kayaknya perlu liburan juga, bisa panas tuh otak kalo terus2x-an oprek cluster openMosix

Oh ya, ada member baru di milis clustering gw. Dia nanyain soal buku. Nah, speaking about book, I plan to write one...guess what...about clustering ! Gw akan jadikan ini karya kolektif ilmuwan2x Indonesia.....so, semua putra terbaik bangsa ....mari sumbangkan pikiranmu di buku ini. 2005...akan gw start nih buku. Moga2x temen2x gw di team openMosix ama kenalan2x di openSSI mau ikutan nimbrung. "Loe kenal dari mana ama tuh orang?" Ya kenal-lah...emang org Indonesia gak bisa sejajar ama Amerika en Israel? Lagian ini jaman cyber, tinggal nyalain modem, konek ama e-mail or IRC, nyambung dah ama rekan2x di seluruh dunia. Karena gw merasa masih goblok, gw seringin diskusi ama mereka...dan mereka juga learn something dari gue, pretty fair and interesting, aren't they?

Senin malam, gw balik ke bandung lagi. Gw berharap kontribusi gw ampe detik2x terakhir akhir oktober 2004 akan berguna untuk project AD ini. Not sure how far I can help, but I know sooner or later I must finish it. Benernya, rada kasihan juga ama teman gw yang koordinator, tapi apa mau dikata...we have our own life. Lagian, udah pernah gue ingetin dia "gak salah nih terusan di project ginian? serba gak jelas, kerjaan serabutan......" Maksud gue, biar dia lebih mikir, apa bener kerjaan kayak gini itu harapan dia yang sebenarnya. "Kan loe sama aja mul, freelancer?" Sama memang, but I guess I have better control over my self.

Gue belakangan ngerasa persis kayak panuan kalo kerja under somebody's else supervising....kayak sapi perahan kayak nya kerja. Kalo ingat frase gini, jadi prihatin ama nasib buruh2x kelas bawah di Indonesia, hidup ditekan, gaji pas-pasan. Sama aja kayaknya nasib programmer ama tuh buruh, cuma kerenan dikit. Tapi apalah artinya keren...emang keren bisa bikin kenyang? Kalo gue --> "makan tuh keren...that means nothing." mending gw membela nama bangsa Indonesia lewat tulisan...soalnya ampe skrg masih aja gw lihat sikap meremehkan dari bangsa2x laen ke arah Indonesia. Saatnya bangsa ini mendorong putra putri terbaik bangsa untuk berkarya, bukannya sibuk ama kantong en perut en gendakan sendiri2x. Mau terus terlena, ya monggo aja, tp siap2x aja 2010 kita disalip Birma.....lha wong kita aja udah mulai dipepet Vietnam, apa gak dikit lagi Birma tuh?

About girls, I think I need to be more aggressive on Bandung. I must admit, bandung's girls are charming and sexy...they surely know how to do make up. Apalagi di akademi sekretaris...:D Sejenak lupa gua ama symbol2x en fungsi kernel :-)))))) diganti ama wajah2x menawan..ck ck ck :D :D Mana tinggi2x lagi...gile....170-an tingginya if I am not mistaken. Kalo gw punya sekretaris kayak ginian, bisa mupeng gw seharian :D :D Untung gw penulis, paling yang diliatin screen saver :D So, keep looking for girls....berteman dulu aja, entar soal jodoh, Gusti Allah akan arrange, sama seperti Tuhan menaruh gw di jalan hidup skrg ini...jalan hidup nyentrik bin aneh yang gw yakin gak semua orang tahan ama gaya hidup spt ini. Praise Lord for His Kindness !!

The conclusion today is: never give up on whatever you do, but think carefully on every step you take. You only life once..so use it on valuable thing. be like water .... so you can flow with the rhythm of nature.

2005, banyak rencana besar di kepala gue....one of them is the biggest challenge I ever face. Gw kira, inilah another milestone yang disiapkan Tuhan. Kalo gue mampu, artinya gw memang layak, kalo blom bisa, well, i need to step back for a while and learn again...But that's ok...I just need to do AT MY BEST and let God decide.

May peace be with us and my condolescence to all who die on Kuningan tragedy..we will remember you...
