One more project: a website for our lovely children, Farras and Safira. I think it will be interesting to write some short memorable words and activities from childage. Memorable and something nice to remember some time in the future.

Once again: I am crazy in using MT, so this is the place for all.

About the layout design, I am inspired by pullovers that are used by Farras and Safira. Bright color but simple, with background in orange — a color that also represents where we live now: The Netherlands. Come to visit, Farras & Safira.

After being notified by one visitor, I realized that there was a problem in Coret Moret. The POST mechanism for previewing and sending comment is failed and No entry_id found error message returned. Because I only tested this from inside firewall, I just assumed that anything was okay. Until 3 October...

Having bug hunting and finishing all for two days (not full time, folks!), I write small documentation in Coret Moret (Bahasa Indonesia). Now the comment box is ready to accomodate visitors' feedback.

For last backup, I have performed with scripting both for tar-ing system's most useful configuration and selecting which directories in- or excluded. I tried to report this script here, but getting mess with this Blogger's automatic wrapping inside multi-line text input (<textarea>?) [so, it proves that editing via real editor such as vim is still more appropriate]. Finally I wrote a note about Backup in my Coret Moret.

Backup CD has been created on 20 September 2003.

To make myself more active, I write my Dutch course in Weblog, NedLeuk. This is also my appreciate to new features offered by Blogger, such as "draft mode" and user-managed time and date. I try to use more Dutch in NedLeuk.

Coret Moret is changed into PHP file to prepare more flexible, server-side programming in the future. To handle visitors from search engine's results that is still in .html extension, a rewriting in httpd.conf is provided,

RewriteRule ^(.+)\.html$ $1\.php [L,R]

Other major refurnishing is several buttons added: represent common gesture in blog world for any resources have been used. To me personally, I prefer blog button style for its minimalism and simple text expression. I named them as Stiker (sticker).

First PHP's usage is for handling Stiker's more..., so visitors come to see important and less buttons.

Update on 18 Sept 03: I remove Stiker's more because using ?bla=bli&blu seems not so appropriate for blog style. In change, I still need PHP for handling Sideblog, a dynamic block in the right side that is changed more often. About Sideblog, Richard's MovableBLOG is an ultimate inspiration.

Zumaidi Zainuddin's MT's plug in for converting Gregorian date to Hijriah is useful for promoting Hijriah system, so I add this snippet in Coret Moret Amal.

After considering among various hot-topics that I am interested very much to make some annotates, I'd like to start maintaining a long awaited #direktif. Months ago, I set up #direktif as my initial self-effort to survive in profitable business model. But I was lack of marketing supporting and my daily condition was very hard to stand up for that business. I am in defence mode; so along my nothing-ness, it is better for me to just create and maintain and having nothing else to be kept in mind.

Why can't I trust [more] in the spirit of knowledge?

The result is I remake my #direktif using MT and spend my time to maintain notes about IT from various source. This will be a suggested writing, motivated expression, and target oriented notes. My next plan after enough notes published is to invite others for joining — thus, it will not be only my private collection.

Welcome to visit #direktif.
