Britain fails the foreigners we need
There is ample evidence that refusals are based on the prejudices and opinions of the entry clearance officers rather than on the basis of the Immigration Rules. This is a gross denial of justice.

So that’s why a lot of my friend’s relatives visa and entry clearance application in Jakarta, Indonesia is refused…

One Laptop Per Child, will it go to Indonesia?
The backers of the One Laptop Per Child project plan to release the machine on general sale next year.
But customers will have to buy two laptops at once – with the second going to the developing world.

I wonder if developing world includes Indonesia. The government surely cannot afford $150 million to buy one million, so I guess Indonesia depends on the pairing initiative.

Dicari: Perancang Logo dengan Harga Pas
Saya sedang mencari perusahaan perancang logo harga pas (flat fee) untuk pjsip. Maksudnya harga pas itu adalah model MRS design yaitu sekitar 50-an poundsterling. Logonya tidak perlu aneh-aneh, yang menurut saya sederhana tapi elegan, seperti ini dan ini.

Royals are immigrants
Sir Digby Jones, on how UK relies on immigrants:
“We even relied on immigration for our royal family – every time we ran out, off we went to Europe and got another lot.”

Sheffield vs Manchester vs Leeds
(Picture from BBC)
Apparently Sheffield has been chosed to represent the UK at Venice Biennale of Architecture (although I can’t really find it mentioned in its website).
I’ve lived in Sheffield for about 6 years now, plus a year back in 1996. I’ve always wondered why Leeds which is supposedly much smaller seemed more vibrant. The sidebar in the BBC article says it all: Sheffield is poorer, less educated, and shrinking working age population.
Personally, I love Sheffield, although it would be nice to have a Manchester-class airport with (almost) direct flights to Indonesia! Maybe some airline will start flying from Robin Hood.

Partial classes in C# 2.0: No Chocolate Needed
While trying to explain #region in C# to a new programmer, I came across this Architectonic post. I wonder what he thinks of partial classes in C# 2.0. It removes the turd entirely to a different place. In fact, as in #region, I feel that partial classes was designed to do exactly this: handle and hide generated code.

Is Malaysia better than Indonesia?
Probably, but not by much according to Unspun. I have friend (Indonesian) who is absolutely nuts about Malaysia. But Indonesia’s actually been there first, during the Soeharto era, particularly 80s and 90s. We were stable, growing, hailed as an economic success. The price? 1998. So is Malaysia heading for a crash? Maybe, maybe not. But if you are an Indonesian that longs for the stability and certainty of the 80s, then you should go live in Malaysia.

THIS is a flower!

Recently we went on a walk. Not just any walk, a looong walk. About 7 km in 2.5 hours. Amazingly Abyan did it in his stride. He even become an inspiration for the adults: “If he can do it, so can I”.

Windows Live Writer blog client
So it seems there is a new client on the block… from Microsoft. It recognizes WordPress.com just fine. When it said WYSIWYG, it weren’t kidding. It actually downloads the CSS etc for this blog, so you are using the exact same font, width of screen, the lot. Clean interface, although by doing that it looks different to other Windows XP apps. Or is this new Vista Ui thingy?
So, for in browser blogging just use Performancing for Firefox, for desktop blogging use Windows Live Writer. Easy.
(Just about to post, found that I couldn’t easily add categories on the fly. Bummer.)
