Repair corrupted Keychain Access

Sun, 14 Feb 2010 06:46:00 -0800

Ever had annoying moments where you get asked password you've saved in Keychain Access, every time you open an app? Well, I did. After a few readings and trials, I managed to fix the problem by doing the followings:

1. Open MobileMe System Preferences and disable Syncing.
2. Copy the folder ~Library/Keychains to Desktop
3. In Keychain Access -> Preferences choose Reset My Keychain
4. Reboot computer
5. Open MobileMe System Preferences and log into MobileMe
6. Under the Sync pane, check Synchronize with MobileMe and select all services
7. Click Advanced - then Reset Sync Data.
8. In the drop down select Keychains and then choose to pull data from MobileMe to the computer and click Replace
9. Launch an app to check. In this instance, I opened Mail.app
10. If prompted to enter passwords for the mail accounts, exit Mail.app
11. Open Keychain Access and remove IMAP and SMTP entries for affected email accounts
12. Launch Mail.app again
13. When prompted, enter password and check Remember password in my Keychain
14. Verify by opening Mail - Preferences, select the affected account and also verify that the password field is not blank
15. If passwords were retained, you're good. If you have more than 1 affected app, delete the corresponding entries on KeyChain Access list as per entry #11.
16. Open MobileMe System Preferences.
17. Under the Sync pane, click Advanced... then Reset Sync Data...
18. In the drop down choose Keychains and then choose to push data from the computer to MobileMe and click Replace

You should be ok by now. Drop me a line if it works. If not, you can also post, but I may not be able to help you :D

Blog post: Why a part of me want the mancs to win their 18th and 19th

Sun, 20 Dec 2009 08:20:00 -0800

Why? Because I believe history can repeat itself.
Ever since the Souness era, every Liverpool players and managers were and still are compared to the Great Bill Shankly era. In some ways it became a constant burden to each and everyone, always being compared to the era. Having ex players and managers constantly undermining the work of the current era doesn't help us as well.

We've grown to having a certain Mr. Ferguson in our life. Love him or loathe him, he is up there with the best. Truth or false, it's common to think that he's obsessed with Liverpool's history, and will do his utmost to make sure that his manc team surpass us under his tenure.
Which leads me to my rather psychotic thought. If he's to become the one who leads them surpassing us, what's next for him? He's done almost every major honours in club football, and he will surely think to end his career while he's on the up, to leave behind a legacy.
Now this is interesting. What's next for manc supporters then? They WILL HAVE TO find a manager to resume Mr. Ferguson's "greatness". Who's to say that they will automatically find a suitable one? Each and every manager after Mr. Ferguson will be compared to him, and new players will be compared to the likes of Giggs, Ronaldo, etc. The new manager won't have the same "respect" from rivals, friends, referees and everyone associated to English football. The new manager won't have the courtesy to referee bollockings and got away with it. He will have to make his mark. He will have to earn the "respect". From all sides. Scenes of "The Damned United" spring to mind. And seeing how football fans can have their say in every media available nowadays, chances are if the manager doesn't bring success after a season or two, call for heads are unavoidable.

One of the biggest contributor to their success was our fall. History can repeat itself. Not to say that our success will automatically happen, but it's a big monkey off of our back.

Of course, another part in me can't stand a slightest chance of seeing them surpassing our records. Saying all those things I said earlier made me look stupid and naive. But I think it's still a possibility. A fair shout.
Your thoughts?

Earthquake update.

Wed, 02 Sep 2009 02:25:00 -0700

Copy paste dari email kantor:

On 9/2/2009 7:55:02 AM UTC (about 15:04h local time) an earthquake of
magnitude 7.4 occurred in the unpopulated region of Jawa Barat in
Indonesia. The earthquake happened 148km from Bandung.
The nearest populated places are: [None].
The closest civilian airport is Husein Sastranegara (149km).

Potentially affected critical infrastructure:
Nuclear plants: [None]
Hydrodams: Tarum (192km), Cirata (169km), Cianjur (148km)
Airports: Cilacap Wulung (190km), Pangandaran (138km), Tunggul Wulung
(196km), Cibeureum (139km), Batujajar (147km), Husein Sastranegara
(149km)
Ports: Cilacap (2km), Genteng (1km), Pelabuhanratu (1km)

Whether international humanitarian aid is needed must be decided by an
expert. This earthquake has potentially a high humanitarian impact and
the affected region has high vulnerability to natural disasters.

- It is reported that the earthquake is felt as far as Jogja, Kupang,
and Makassar
- In Tasikmalaya, numbers of houses reportedly damaged esp. on its
roofs, and few people were lightly injured, no report of fatality so
far.
- In Ciamis, two houses (old fragile construction) have been flattened
and some other light roofs damages

Posterous, Mac and productivity.

Tue, 30 Jun 2009 12:16:00 -0700

Liking posterous so far, and my main issue is to the fact that I can just email my entry.

Although I'm quite satisfied with posterous, I also would like the following features to be added:
1. Capability of making my own theme (which I'm sure quite a lot of people agree)
2. Capability of making a static page.

I know people will prolly mock me and say "If you wanted customisation, why not go for wordpress (the .org one)". Well, I tried it, several times in fact.
The thing is, I've spent quite a lot of time customising it and in the end I didn't have time to write anything because most of the time when I think of something to write, I'm usually in the middle of creating "my next beautiful blog". A bit similar with my experience with Linux, where I spent days to configure the perfect desktop and not actually productive :). Of course that changes drastically when I switched to Mac, back in 2005.

Now, not saying that Linux is bad, as I don't want to start another Linux vs Mac (or Windows). Its what happened with me, and if it happened to you as well, smile with me :)

All I'm saying is, if I can have the 2 points mentioned, I'm fairly sure I'll be a bit more productive in my effort to blog, as I've always wanted to.

I've been quite productive with my Windows (when I'm working in an office) and with my Mac (when not working in an office). Here's hoping I can achieve the same with posterous :)

Edit: Aulia touched on a good point about customising in his tweet. When I said customising, it's customising a'la tumblr, where it's basically just html, and without having to upload etc.

Bapak & Anak

Dialog antara seorang Bapak dengan Anak.

Anak: "Bapak, Tuhan itu laki-laki apa perempuan sih?"

Bapak: "hhmmm....Tuhan itu laki-laki sekaligus perempuan"

Anak: "Trus Tuhan itu berkulit putih apa kulit hitam?"

Bapak: "hhmmm.. Tuhan itu berkulit putih sekaligus berkulit hitam"

Anak: "yaaahh... sudah kuduga dari lama bahwa Tuhan kita itu Michael Jackson! Ini rupanya yg dibilang Nietsche, Tuhan sudah mati!"
