Asia-Pacific Human Development Report on Corruption Launched

Corruption is increasingly being challenged as unacceptable across Asia and the Pacific. This Report shows how why eliminating corruption that plagues people’s daily lives must become a priority. The police, social services, and environment are areas countries should consider focusing on. Now is the time to seize the moment, to combine pressure from above, in government and the private sector, with the voice of the people from below. Successes are emerging, alongside growing international commitment - history does not have to become the region’s destiny.

This paragraph is taken from UNDP Asia-Pacific Human Development Report on Corruption website. The report was launched yesterday, Thursday, 12 June 2008. The launch ceremony was held at Presidential Palace in Jakarta with Indonesia President in the morning, followed by a panel discussion on the report at Balai Kartini, Jakarta in the afternoon.

Indonesia has been considered to achieve a significant progress in eradicate corruption. With its KPK (Indonesia Corruption Eradication Commission), many of the corruptor have been sentenced to jail. Although this has a disadvantage in the development process, as the official is now very-very careful whenever they want to make decision because they afraid if it will lead them to deal with KPK.

President says, we may have won the battle, but we haven't won the war. Selamat berjuang pak.

Btw, I wrote this entry because I was involved in the launch. :-)

Positive

Last night, 26 Apr 08, around 19.30 the test pack that I bought in the afternoon show a double stripe which means it's positive that my wife is pregnant. She said she's already late for her monthly period for 4 days.

But just to be more sure, she will go to doctor this evening.
I'm gonna have a little Veriy.. :-)

Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia Online

Beberapa waktu yang lalu, salah satu friend di Yahoo Messenger friend list memasang status URL Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia.
URL untuk KBBI http://pusatbahasa.diknas.go.id/kbbi/index.php
Dari website tersebut:

Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia yang dikenal dengan sebutan KBBI terbit pertama 28 Oktober 1988 saat Pembukaan Kongres V Bahasa Indonesia. Sejak itu kamus tersebut telah menjadi sumber rujukan yang dipercaya baik di kalangan pengguna di dalam maupun di luar negeri.

Akhirnya... setelah sekian lama, kita punya KBBI di internet. Tapi ada yang bikin saya penasaran yaitu istilah Daring yang ada disitu. KBBI Daring, sewaktu saya coba untuk mencari arti kata itu di KBBI sendiri, tidak ada. Tapi kalau "cari kata dasar dalam KBBI memuat" Daring, baru keluar deh hasilnya.
katanya begini:
"pen·da·ring·an Jw n pasu atau gentong tempat menyimpan beras"

Jadi, KBBI Daring berarti KBBI penyimpang beras? halah...

Indonesia Public Voice Over IP

After several thread in ITB Mailing List discussing about VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) and SIP (Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)), I click on this interesting website, its name is VoIP Rakyat (literally means Public VoIP).

They provide voip server to Indonesian public for free. They're now working on an ENUM project for Indonesia. This will enable us in Indonesia to have our own phone number through voip.
Good luck guys.. that's an awsome project.

From their about page:

Mengikuti jejak VoIP Merdeka, di tahun 2004 Anton Raharja dan rekan-rekan ICT Centre Jakarta membangun server VoIP yang kemudian diberi nama VoIP Rakyat dengan nama domain voiprakyat.net. Berbeda dengan VoIP Merdeka yang merupakan gabungan banyak node-node gatekeeper VoIP, arsitektur VoIP Rakyat memungkinkan hanya menggunakan satu server saja. VoIP Merdeka berbasis protocol H.323, sedangkan VoIP Rakyat berbasis protocol SIP.
