[Euro 2008] Germany 0 – 1 Spain

Spain won the European Championship 1-0 over Germany. It is the first major title in 44 years. 
Fernando Torres has end up German’s 12 years of racing for a title with nothing.
Michael Ballack has became the runner up specialist …. again.
The Liverpool’s striker has made 33 goals last season. He scored the winning goal for Spain on 33 minutes :P

Germany with 3 Euro and 3 World Cups was no match for the Spaniards tonight. They’re just simply better, playing constantlt through out the tournament. I’m sad for that because I’m a GERMANY supporter :(

Anyway, congratulation Spain.
Torres, your great. Please help Liverpool to get better place this season.
Xabi, dont go!
David Villa, Anfield welcomes you :D

Howto: Setup Huawei E220 HSDPA USB Modem with Leopard

In my previous post, I wrote that I was having trouble to get ZTE MF622 work on my Leopard. Not solved yet until now. 

Today, Derry was kindly enough to lend me his Huawei E220 HSDPA Modem. It’s Telkomsel Flash modem package but already been unlocked. So, I can use any SIM card from any available GSM operator. But unfortunately, the E220 driver for Mac from Telkomsel is not working on Leopard. So, I need to google to find the suitable driver for that.

So, how to install Huawei E220 HSDPA USB modem on Mac OSX Leopard:

  1. Download the driver here or here (add .dmg after the file name)
    E220.dmg
  2. Extract the package file (E220.dmg) and run the file "Mobile_Connect_Drv_App.pkg"
    Run installer
  3. Follow the wizard
    Continue
  4. Read the agreement, and continue if you agree
    Agree

    Aggree

  5. Select installation destination
    Agree

    Aggree

    Password

  6. Continue Installation

 

How to setup GPRS/3G/HSDPA connection with Huawei E220 on OSX Leopard:

  1.  Insert the SIM card into the data card. 
  2. Connect the data card to your PC. 
  3. Open the Finder window, and select Mobile Connect in the Application directory. 
    mobile connect
  4. Then launch the management program of the Mobile Connect. If the Personal Identification Number (PIN) code of the data card is locked, the system displays the Verify PIN dialog box for you to enter the PIN code. 
  5. If you enter wrong PINs for three consecutive times, the system displays the PIN Unblocking Key dialog box for you to enter the valid PIN Unblocking Key (PUK). Then the Mobile Connect interface is displayed.

    Note: 

    • If you enter wrong PUKs for ten consecutive times, the SIM card is invalid permanently
    • The PIN and PUK are delivered with the SIM card provided by your service provider. For details, consult your service provider.
  6.  Now, we create a profile. From Mobile Connect UI above, click on Setting button
    Create profile

    Click on New button
    I’m using Telkomsel Flash service, therefor I create a profile like picture above.
    Dont forget to use PAP as Authentication method.
    Click Save then OK if you finish creating profile

  7.  Select the profile you want to use and click Connect
  8. During the dial-up access, the Mac OS X system requires you to enter the account and password of the system administer. You can access the Internet only when the correct account and password are entered.
  9. When you access the internet successfully, the system displays the prompt, saying “Connection successful!”.

  10. IMHO, I think Huawei have better english in the UI compare to his ‘brother’ :D This is what i’ve got from MF622 UI :P Connect estalish
  11. Voila! Now I’m connected to Telkomsel Flash network

  12. When you try to browse for the first time after connected, you will be redirected to http://flash.telkomsel.com/id/HalamanUtama.php.
    Choose the package you want.

That’s all. I hope this tutorial can help you (the Leopard & Telkomsel Flash users) to setup Huawei E220 modem on your Mac :)

#Yoga class

Dikarenakan sesuatu hal, hari ini kelas yoga ditiadakan.
*sigh* padahal lagi on fire neh … :D

Yawda lah, moga-moga kelas kamis nanti tidak ditiadakan juga

Me and Yoga

Just got back from yoga class. My head still lil bit dizzy, my brain need more oxygen :P As one of my year 2008 resolution ( :P ) i wanna to do more sports contantly. I have fixed schedule playing futsal every wednesday and now yoga every monday (and thursday). Jogging every monday morning.

So what is yoga?
Taken from about.com,

The word yoga means "union" in Sanskrit, the language of ancient India where yoga originated. We can think of the union occurring between the mind, body and spirit.

 What is commonly referred to as "yoga" can be more accurately described by the Sanskrit word asana, which refers to the practice of physical postures or poses.

Asana is only one of the eight "limbs" of yoga, the majority of which are more concerned with mental and spiritual well being than physical activity. In the West, however, the words asana and yoga are often used interchangeably.

Bowling and Forearms Tendonitis

Tonight I’ve played bowling with Abdi and the gank :) It’s the first time I played bowling in 2008 (another resolution of 2008 :P ) and the 2nd time on my life :P 1st round we played 3 games … 5 people in 2 lines :P Well not bad, i can reach above 100 points and make several strikes. 1 double.

We had to finish the game because all the lines will be used for tournament, it’s called Fun Bowling if I’m not mistaken. Than Abdi offered us to join the tournament or not? Why not. Me, ArGun and Faisal join with Abdi and Pak Agus. Well, we’re completely beginner (specially me) with 0 handicap :P Whatever, we just want to continue to play bowling. It’s fun actually hehehehehhe. Again, 5 of us play in 2 lines.Forearm

And it happened. It’s look like my right forearm is injured. It’s my second time playing bowling in my life, so I dont know what kind of warming up I should take before playing the game. It seemed that my first round is the cause of the injury. I played mostly with ball 11 and 12. Maybe too heavy, but I didnt feel it at the moment.

My first swing in second round was kind of hurt. Lost my grip and I almost drop the ball 10. Arrrgghhh, i think i just had what it’s called "Forearm Tendonitis". So, 4 games in second round i mostly played with my left hand. Hey, it’s pretty good. I can used my left hand properly and made some points :P But still, I was only able to make strike with my right hand (painfully … :( ) I force to continue playing  with my right arm although it’s not a good thing to do. I was enjoying the game, what else can i say :P

In most cases, forearm tendonitis can be cured without the need to see a doctor. All i need to do before it’s getting worse is applying R.I.C.E. treatment as soon as possible. R.I.C.E. treatment is the following:

  1. Rest – rest the forearm.
  2. Ice – apply ice to the forearm for 20 minutes at a time.
  3. Compression – apply light pressure to the forearm.
  4. Elevation – elevating the forarm will help reduce pain

 

Well, it’s abvious that my phisical strength is now questionable hehehehhe :P I hope I don’t need to cancel my yoga class because of this :P
