Batman & Joker : 2 generasi

Barusan siang tadi nonton Dark Night di XXI Plaza Senayan. Dan kesan pertama apa ? Tentu saja film Batman yg pertama : Batman (1989). Mengapa ? Yah tentunya karena ada Batman & Joker.



Ini pilihan sulit. Jack Nicholson & Heath Ledger sama bagusnya, sama “gilanya”, sama “sakitnya”. Tapi kalo disuruh pilih, hmm gw bakal pilih Jack Nicholson. Kenapa ? Soalnya dia lebih ceria :mrgreen:

Mirip-mirip. Tapi overall, gw pilih Christian Bale dari Michael Keaton, karena tampak lebih dark.

Sampai 2008 ini, sudah ada 6 seri Batman : Batman, Batman Returns, Batman Forver, Batman & Robin, Batman Begins, dan tentu saja Dark Knight. Tanpa keragu-raguan, gw nyatakan Dark Knight yang terbaik. Bukan saja soal, tapi juga soal permainan suspens/psikologi.

Ah jadi pengen nonton lagi …

The Church of Emacs

To join the Church of Emacs, you need only say the Confession of the Faith three times :

“There is no system but GNU, and Linux is one of its kernels”.

Saint iGNUcius

Saint iGNUcius

Sainthood in the Church of Emacs requires living a life of purity–but in the Church of Emacs, this does not require celibacy (a sigh of relief is heard). Being holy in our church means installing a wholly free operating system–GNU/Linux is a good choice–and not putting any non-free software on your computer. Join the Church of Emacs, and you too can be a saint!

Lisp : WTH ??

Ladies and gentlemen, as you can see, I’m starting to learn Lisp !!

Yes, your eyes are not lying. I’ve already embraced the dark side of Lisp, and my brain is already warped as well.

Yeah yeah I know : brain damage …

Then what’s next ? Brainf*ck ? Intercal ? Malbolge ?

OK stop telling me, I know one right thing to do :

I must repent …

In search of Java processor

Semester 6 kemaren, gw iseng Googling soal “Java processor”, dan menemukan picoJava, spesifikasi mikrosesor Java yg dikeluarkan oleh Sun. Source codenya ditulis dalam Verilog, dan bisa diperoleh dari halaman ini :

http://www.sun.com/software/communitysource/processors/download_picojava.xml

Sayangnya, pas install ulang OS, gw lupa membackup source code itu, dan saat mencoba mendownload dari halaman itu, ternyata halaman itu sudah tidak ada ! :cry:

OK, gw tidak langsung panik, dan coba Googling lagi. Eh, nemu paper ini : picoJava-II in an FPGA

Gw kirim e-mail ke salah satu penulisnya, Wolfgang Puffitsch, dengan harapan bisa mendapat source code picoJava-II.

Dan dia pun menjawab :

Dear Mr. Tampubolon,

Unfortunately, the licensing terms of picoJava prohibit the redistribution of picoJava’s original source code. Please understand that I am not willing to infringe these terms.

If you are only interested in the development of a Java processor, you might be interested in the Java Optimized Processor (JOP) [http://www.jopdesign.com/, http://www.jopwiki.com/]. It is open source under the terms of the GNU GPL and has an active development community.

Well, sepertinya gw gagal mendapatkan source code picoJava. :cry:

Ya sudah, JOP sepertinya juga tidak salah untuk dicoba …
