Sphinx - Fulltext Search Engine - Part 1

 Posted on map[Count:November 24, 2010]  |  Batista Harahap

It has been a few weeks after my first encounter with this Egyptian named gem called Sphinx. At first glance, it’s complicated when looking at an already made sphinx.conf. However, after careful redesigning and re-tinkering, it turns out to be one of the most flexible and yet light fulltext search engine available today. There are others but nothing as light, fast and sleek as Sphinx. The cold truth is that Sphinx is supporting SQL based databases as far as I know. [Read More]

Indonesia is Internet Literate - FOR SURE!

 Posted on map[Count:November 12, 2010]  |  Batista Harahap

It has been a full week! Had a lot of code refactorings, Obama, #StartupLokal and most definitely inspiration. The more I explore the business of being online in Indonesia, the more I realized that Indonesia is a market unique, vast, consumptive and most importantly very open to new ideas. You can’t see how open Indonesia is offline-wise, in the online world, Indonesia is not only the next big thing, it is the big thing! [Read More]

Upgrade Nexian Journey to Froyo - Cyanogen Mod 6.1

 Posted on map[Count:November 10, 2010]  |  Batista Harahap

The first Cyanogen Mod build for Nexian Journey is quite the rush. By default, the CPU is forced to run at 800 MHz, that’s more than the 600 MHz capability of the phone. Luckily, the next build now defaults to 600 MHz and that’s the build I’m upgrading my phone with. The requirements to upgrade is the following: Upgrade your phone to Eclair if you’re not already in Eclair. Steps to do so after the break. [Read More]

Thoughts of Grandeur - OOPS

 Posted on map[Count:October 29, 2010]  |  Batista Harahap

Okay the title is a WTF right? To be honest, this blog post is inspired by one of the earliest episode of Heroes when Nathan and his Mom told Peter that he is having illusions of grandeur. Evidently, Peter became one of the most talented and gifted mutant of them all, he figured out how to gain any power he wants without killing the subject unlike Sylar lol. Well subjectively I must say that thinking BIG is a blessing. [Read More]

Killing Time - Android Apps Instead of Smoking

 Posted on map[Count:September 3, 2010]  |  Batista Harahap

This few weeks, I’ve been actively downloading and using apps just to try them on and see which ones that’s enough to make my smoking habits go away for a while. Some of it are apps you only use occasionally while some are apps you’d definitely use everyday when it suits you. Basketball Shot - DroidHen This app is addictive because I like the sports and although now I rarely play, I like to go to Timezone and shoot some. [Read More]

Mobile App Analytics

 Posted on map[Count:August 24, 2010]  |  Batista Harahap

We’ve all heard, used, tweaked and cherish Google Analytics either for its web or mobile web capabilities of serving us information about our visitors. So I’ve been wondering about a mobile app equivalent I can use with the exception of mobile ad networks. I came across Flurry a couple months ago and still using it until now. One of Flurry’s edge compared to other platforms is plainly and simply because it’s the most flexible and complete with a price tag 0 in any currency. [Read More]

 Posted on map[Count:August 20, 2010]  |  Batista Harahap

Okay so I got myself a new Android gadget to play with and only recently looking for ways to root the device. It was bundled with 24 Gigs worth of data plan free for 1 year! Who wouldn’t want to tether the data stream right? Lucky for me, the device is actually from an OEM named Foxconn somewhere in China. People are already rooting their devices and I am up for some free data ;) [Read More]

Community Audio – Music – Part 3

 Posted on map[Count: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.
