Roon, Favorite Features

Roon, Favorite Features

 Posted on April 5, 2020  |  Batista Harahap

After installing Roon for the first time I’ve been using it everyday. How I use Roon has changed along the way. A mixer was directly plugged into my Hackintosh but now it’s plugged to a Raspberry Pi. I can now listen to music even though my Hackintosh is not powered. Discover This feature alone I think is worth half of the subscription price. Roon with its awesome metadata power will recommend you songs, albums, artists and my favorite is artists you don’t even know you had in your library. [Read More]

Unraid Case/Motherboard Upgrade And Some More

Unraid Case/Motherboard Upgrade And Some More

 Posted on March 30, 2020  |  Batista Harahap

Just can’t saya this enough; UNRAID IS GREAT! Ever since I assembled my Unraid box and got it licensed, I have now used up more than 50% of my storage space. It’s time to upgrade to prepare adding more storage when it gets to 80%. With this rate though, I think I’m gonna have to seriously consider moving from SSD to mechanical drives. The final spec for the upgrade is below: [Read More]

This, The Reason Of Songwriting

This, The Reason Of Songwriting

 Posted on October 20, 2019  |  Batista Harahap

The second post of reliving the songs I’ve written or cowritten, first post here. The most powerful song both me and Ina has ever written, ever! I still remember all of the hours we spent writing, recording and arguing about this song. More about this below. Ina and I are cousins from my dad’s side. One day after the third song I wrote, I met her at my grandma’s house. I played the song and right there and then we began spending more and more time collaborating. [Read More]

Love and Music

Love and Music

 Posted on October 19, 2019  |  Batista Harahap

This is now the hardest time in life when I don’t have music as my release. Tragedies, traumas, infatuations and all the way to love have been lived with music I’ve written, now there’s nothing. It’s been like this for 10 years which feels like an eternity. Seeing myself froze when my fingers are touching guitar strings or piano bars frightens me. Especially in an entrepreneurial way of life in the tech startup industry. [Read More]

Community Audio – Music – Part 3

 Posted on August 17, 2010  |  Batista Harahap

Here I go again blogging about my own music. It’s been quite a while since I listen to any of the songs I wrote. The statistics at The Internet Archive - Community Audio is a welcomed surprise. This is also a premier blog post using Bit.ly Pro’s custom domain. So 1 day after 65 years of Indonesia, I’m in a old and new mood :) Starting off the list is a song I wrote when I was able to partly let go of someone but yeah, still wishing for something.

Community Audio - Music - Part 2

 Posted on August 10, 2010  |  Batista Harahap

On to the next part of Community Audio a.k.a my own music hosted at The Internet Archive. Most of the song I wrote are hosted over there while still there are other hosted at Myspace and iLike. Looking at the statistics, The Internet Archive is a clear winner, offering access to larger crowds. One of my favorite song is “My Good Friend”. I remembered when writing this song, I was just fooling around with my guitar and my cousin Ina came from out of nowhere and she just started to sing along. [Read More]

Community Audio - Music - Part 1

 Posted on August 8, 2010  |  Batista Harahap

It’s been more than 5 years since I uploaded my first Creative Commons Licensed music now referred as Community Audio at archive.org. Bottom-line, looking at the statistics, I was in smiles :) The Internet Archive is more accessible to the mass it reads. There’s this song that I feel is in tune with #StartupLokal hehehe. When I wrote the song, I was on a transitional phase. The song is titled “Ain’t Sorry” and it was sung by my cousin Ina. [Read More]

Heaven Sent

 Posted on November 6, 2008  |  Batista Harahap

Above those giant trees where creatures seeks to rest The sound of lightning & thunder wakes up mother earth Swirls and transforms dust into life Flowers once again bloom to die Only to bloom again and again in another dimension of love.. as love warms solitude..with hope b: As a star brings hope to sailor, time brings wisdom to be, to be pondered upon.. r: The royal pardon your highness was truly HEAVEN SENT, HEAVEN SENT, HEAVEN SENT The royal pardon your highness was truly HEAVEN SENT, HEAVEN SENT, HEAVEN SENT [Read More]

Dan Pertama Kali Bulan Purnama

 Posted on November 6, 2008  |  Batista Harahap

Tinta ini mengusik kembali: malam-malam yang telah lampau.. Menjernihkan kejadian-kejadian, yang kini mulai mengabur.. Membalut luka yang akhirnya seperti menyembuh sendiri..

b: Memanggil kembali mereka yang telah lama mati.. Dan yang sudah menua, Paginya pagi.. Dan pertama kali bulan purnama..

r: Tinta ini melukiskan engkau seperti yang aku mau, yang ku rindu darinya: senyumnya, senyumnya..
