Salah Satu Penyebab Twitter Error

Their words, not mine.

I’ve mostly stopped bothering to post when Twitter is down like it is now and like it was yesterday (honestly, it’s news when they keep the site live for 24 hours at this point). But, seriously, they need to get their act together. It’s past embarrassing.

Rumor is they’ve closed their big round of funding and things are all high fives over there, but much more of this and people aren’t just going to talk about bailing on the service for something new, they’re really going to do it (yes, even me).


Or how about just having enough respect for your users to let us know what’s going on.

Anyway, I’m in a particularly bad mood because I have food poisoning (thanks very much Grand Hyatt Seattle) and Twittering it was going to make me feel marginally better because a bunch of people would say something nice in a reply. But they take even that away from me.

Update:
Wow, somebody’s listening. Actual communication is so welcome: “We caused a database to fail during a routine update early this afternoon. We switched to a replica and expect this recovery to take place quickly.” What would be great is if Twitter just moved their blog to another platform so that it doesn’t fail when users need it most.

Kerajaan Jeumpa, Kerajaan Islam Pertama Nusantara

Teori tentang kerajaan Islam pertama di Nusantara sampai saat ini masih banyak diperdebatkan oleh para peneliti, baik cendekiawan Muslim maupun non Muslim. Umumnya perbedaan pendapat tentang teori ini didasarkan pada teori awal mula masuknya Islam ke Nusantara. Mengenai teori Islamisasi di Nusantara, para ahli sejarah terbagi menjadi 3 kelompok besar, yaitu pendukung (i) Teori Gujarat (ii) Teori Parsia dan (iii) Teori Mekah (Arab). Bukan maksud tulisan ini untuk membahas teori-teori tersebut secara mendetil, namun dari penelitian yang penulis lakukan, maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa Teori Mekkah (Arab) lebih mendekati kebenaran dengan fakta-fakta yang dikemukakan. Teori Mekkah (Arab) hakikatnya adalah koreksi terhadap teori Gujarat dan bantahan terhadap teori Persia. Di antara para ahli yang menganut teori ini adalah T.W. Arnold, Crawfurd, Keijzer, Niemann, De Holander, SMN. Al-Attas, A. Hasymi, dan Hamka. i Arnold menyatakan para pedagang Arab menyebarkan Islam ketika mereka mendo...

Sejarah Huruf Alfabet

Istilah alphabet sebetulnya berasal dari bahasa Semit. Istilah ini terdiri dari dua kata, yaitu aleph yang berarti 'lembu jantan' dan kata beth yang berarti 'rumah'. Konotasi pictografis dari pengertian kedua kata ini menjadi sebutan untuk menunjukkan huruf pertama a (aleph) dan b (beth) dalam urutan huruf-huruf semit (Mario Pei,1971:176). Ini bukan berarti bahwa tulisan tersebut memakai sistem pictografis-ideografis, akan tetapi malah sebaliknya. Orang-Orang Semit mengambil tanda gambar lembu (kepala lembu) dari huruf Hierogliph Mesir tanpa memperdulikan pengertian lembu itu dalam bahasa Mesir sendiri, sedangkan menurut bahasa Semit, lembu itu disebut aleph. Demikian juga dengan tanda gambar rumah yang mereka sebut beth. Kemudian dengan mempergunakan prinsip akroponi, tanda gambar kepala lembu, oleh masyarakat Semit dijadikan tanda untuk bunyi a dan tanda gambar rumah untuk bunyi b. Semua huruf pada alphebt Semit mempunyai konotasi seperti pictografis itu. Daerah y...

Say Cheese: 12 Photos That Should Never Have Been Posted Online

You know the old cliche, a picture is worth a thousand words? Turns out that pictures have been deeply undervalued: A single photo can cost you your reputation, your job, even your freedom--if you post it online. Teachers, principals, firefighters, mayors, university presidents, and everyday people have all discovered the dark side of putting the wrong photos and videos on social networking sites. Sometimes they paid the price in embarrassment. An unlucky handful lost their jobs or landed in jail. The results aren't pretty, but they are sometimes hilarious. Here's our dirty dozen--12 pictures their owners probably wish they could take back. 1.
