Iโ€™m Yours

Checkout this cool video, Jason Mraz performing I’m Yours live on Korea

Well, you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you’re so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
Now I’m trying to get back

Before the cool dawn run out
I’ll be giving it my bestest
And nothing’s gonna stop me but divine intervention.
I reckon, it’s again my turn
To win some or learn some.

But I won’t hesitate
No more, no more.
It cannot wait,
I’m yours.

Well, open up your mind and see like me,
Open up your plans and damn you’re free.
Look into your heart and you’ll find love, love, love, love.
Listen to the music of the moment, people dance and sing, we’re just one big family
And it’s our God-forsaken right to be loved, loved, loved, loved, loved

So I won’t hesitate
No more, no more.
It cannot wait,
I’m sure.
There’s no need to complicate.
Our time is short.
This is our fate,
I’m yours.

Do you want to come on, scootch on over closer, dear
And I will nibble your ear

I’ve been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and I laughed.

I guess what I’ll be saying is there ain’t no better reason
To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons.
It’s what we aim to do.
Our name is our virtue.

But I won’t hesitate
No more, no more.
It cannot wait,
I’m yours.

Well, open up your mind and see like me,
Open up your plans and damn you’re free.
Look into your heart and you’ll find that the sky is yours.
So please don’t, please don’t, please don’t…
There’s no need to complicate.
‘Cause our time is short.
This oh, this oh, this is our fate.
I’m yours.

Oh, I’m yours
Oh, I’m yours
Oh, oh,
Baby, do you believe, I’m yours?
You best believe, you best believe, I’m yours.

Instalasi Snow Leopard Via USB

Berdasarkan pengalaman pribadi ketika ingin install ulang Snow Leopard tapi ngga punya DVD SL originalnya. Yang ada adalah image .dmg SL 10.6.3 versi pak tani hasil download sebesar 6.2 gigs.

Dengan ukuran image sebesar itu otomatis harus di-burn menggunakan kepingan DVD dual layer. Berhubung DVD dual layer mahal dan susah dapetinnya, akhirnya saya manfaatkan USB drive external untuk instalasi SL 10.6.3 tersebut. Begini caranya kawan-kawan..

  1. Mount image “Mac OS X Install DVD” either itu berupa ISO atau DMG
  2. Masukkan USB drive, lalu buka Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility), dan pilih USB drive yang ada di sidebar sebelah kiri
  3. Ada pilihan First Aid, Erase, Partition, Raid, Restore
  4. Klik Partition
  5. Pada Volume Scheme, pilih 1 Partition
  6. Setelah itu klik tombol Options.ย Akan muncul jendela baru, dan pilih ‘GUID Partition Table’.ย Klik Apply dan tunggu sampai selesai
  7. Setelah proses format / erase selesai, klik pada tab ‘Restore’
  8. Dari daftar drive / partisi yang ada di sebelah kiri, drag ‘Mac OS X Install DVD’ yang udah kita mount pada langkah #1 tadi ke field ‘Source’, dan drag USB drive ke field ‘Destination’
  9. Klik tombol ‘Restore’ dan tunggu sampai prosesnya selesai
  10. Tutup Disk Utility, lalu buka System Preferences. Pada bagian ‘System’ pilih ‘Startup Disk’
  11. USB drive tadi akan muncul sebagai Snow Leopard installation disk. Pilih dan klik ‘Restart’

Mac akan boot melalu USB drive, dan silahkan ikuti langkah2 instalasinya ๐Ÿ˜‰

Details In The Fabric

Calm down
Deep breaths
And get yourself dressed
Instead of running around
And pulling all your threads
And breaking yourself up

If it’s a broken pot, replace it
If it’s a broken arm then brace it
If it’s a broken heart then face it

And hold your own
Know your name
And go your own way

Hold your own
Know your name
And go your own way
And everything will be fine

Hang on
Help is on the way
And stay strong
I’m doing everything

Hold your own
Know your name
And go your own way

Hold your own
Know your name
And go your own way

And everything
Everything, it will be fine
Everything

All the details in the fabric?
Are the things that make you panic?
Are your thoughts results of static cling?

Are the things that make you blow?
Hell, no reason, go on and scream
If you’re shocked it’s just the fault
Of faulty manufacturing

Everything will be fine
Everything in no time at all
Everything

Hold your own
Know your name
Go your own way

Hold your own
(Are the details in the fabric?)
Know your name
(Are the things that make you panic?)
Go your own way
(Are your thoughts results of static cling?)

Hold your own
(Are the details in the fabric?)
Know your name
(Are the things that make you panic?)
Go your own way
(Is it Mother Nature’s sewing machine?)

Hold your own
(Are the things that make you blow?)
Know your name
(Hell, no reason, go on and scream)
Go your own way
(If you’re shocked it’s just the fault of faulty manufacturing)

Everything it will be fine
Everything in no time at all
Hearts will hold

Mac OS X Lambat Setelah Upgrade 10.6.6

Sebagian pengguna Mac OS X yang udah upgrade ke Snow Leopard 10.6.6 mungkin akan merasakan system menjadi lambat / unresponsive pada menit awal setelah system start up. Saya pun sempat merasakan hal ini.

Setelah bertanya di Apple Discussions, ternyata masalahnya adalah Spotlight yang terus meng-index partisi BOOTCAMP tiap kali Mac reboot. Tentu semakin besar ukuran partisi Windows dan jumlah file yang ada akan mempengaruhi lamanya system menjadi unresponsive. This can’t be a good thing in the long run. Parah2nya sih, harddisk bisa jadi cepet rusak ๐Ÿ˜€

Cukup basa-basinya, ini solusinya: Exclude partisi BOOTCAMP dari indexing Spotlight. Ada 2 cara (pilih salah satu);

Bagi anda yang bisa Write ke partisi BOOTCAMP / Windows cukup buat file kosong bernama “.metadataneverindex” di root partition Windows (C:). Bisa dengan cara mengetikkan perintah berikut di preman Terminal:

touch /Volumes/XP/.metadataneverindex

di mana “/Volumes/XP” adalah contoh lokasi partisi Windows di Mac saya, dan tentunya akan berbeda dengan lokasi partisi di Mac anda. Apabila saya mengetikkan perintah “ls -la” di partisi tersebut kurang lebih hasilnya sebagai berikut:

Andi-s-MacBook:~ Koole$ ls -la /Volumes/XP
total 4190994 drwxrwxr-x 40 Koole staff 2520 Jan 20 08:17

pagefile.sys

Bagi yang tidak bisa Write kedalam partisi BOOTCAMP / Windows, karena belum menginstall NTFS-3G misalnya, anda harus membuat file “.metadataneverindex” melalui Windows (boot kedalam Windows). Tapi karena Windows tidak mengizinkan kita membuat file dengan nama seperti itu secara langsung, caranya menjadi sedikit tricky – tapi tetap ngga susah. Cukup ketik perintah berikut di command prompt (Start > Run > CMD);

fsutil file createnew C:.metadataneverindex 0

voila! just one-single-simple command, otomatis file .metadataneverindex akan berada di root partition Windows, dan ini akan mencegah Spotlight untuk indexing partisi tersebut tiap kali restart.

Hasilnya? Our Mac is now running and booting smooth as silk ๐Ÿ˜€ ๐Ÿ˜€ ๐Ÿ˜€
