I need a simple video converter to convert videos I create, mostly to record my baby development / growth. The video converter is needed because by default most digital camera video or handy cam are in AVI format while I want to convert it to FLV. Besides it’s a lot lighter, it is only commonly used in Youtube.com..

I find Any Video Converter is good and serve my purpose. No less important it’s free (paid one available though not necessary).

If you have as simple purpose as I have, using  Any-Video-Converter free edition is enough. Click here to download. After finishing download, simply install it in your pc / laptop.

When a person calls herself Hning Swara commented in one of my post, I was impressed with the way she expresses her opinion. I was impressed even more when I visited her blog– back then in blogspot. She certainly has the talent and obviously is a good writer with an eloquent English I hardly found in an average Indonesian.

This is good. I am waiting for and thinking about it for a long time.

Whenever I sign up / register to a free services, we are unintentionally or intentionally be subscribeb by the free service owner to receive a periodical email notification from their companies.

Now Gmail has the feature to easily unsubscribe from them infact from any email you don’t like. Sure, there’s already “Spam” command feature, but this “unsubcribe” feature is even better because there’re times when you don’t want to include a particular company’s email into spam category yet you just don’t like the notification.
Unsubscribing from mailing lists and newsletters you subscribed to a while back but no longer want to receive should be just as easy. Searching through individual messages for little unsubscribe links is too big a pain —you should be able to unsubscribe with a single click.

So we just launched something that makes this all work better, both for Gmail users and big email senders. Now, when you report spam on a legitimate newsletter or mailing list, we’ll help you unsubscribe.

… Clicking “Unsubscribe” will automatically send a request back to the sender so they’ll stop emailing you.

Fikri Rasyid of Bloggingly has picked eight Indonesian bloggers he considered as “Tokoh Dunia Blogging Indonesia.”

Thanks for including me in that list for whatever reasons.

Police nab alleged Jamaah Islamiyah top bomber recruit
INDONESIAN police have arrested a suspected would-be suicide bomber linked to the Malaysian terror mastermind believed to be behind last week’s attacks in Jakarta, reports said on Thursday.

The man had confessed to being groomed as a suicide bomber by Noordin Mohammed Top, Central Java police chief Alex Bambang Riatmodjo was quoted as saying by state-run news agency Antara.

‘Based on the explanation we’ve received, this person has admitted that they were recruited by Noordin M. Top to become the perpetrator of a suicide bomb,’ Mr Riatmodjo said.

‘Apart from that, we can’t convey yet what location would have been the target of this man. What is clear is that he has admitted to all accusations.’ The man had been taken to police headquarters in Jakarta for questioning.

It turns out the suicide bomber in JW Marriot Hotel in Jakarta was only a 16 or 17 year old teenager:
THE suicide bomber who detonated himself in Jakarta’s Marriott Hotel was just a teenager, probably only 16 or 17 years old.

Indonesian police yesterday made the claim based on forensic examinations of the bomber’s remains, including his severed head.

If it is confirmed he was a teenager, he would be Indonesia’s youngest suicide bomber.

With a 180-190 cm height — very tall for average Indonesian– and had a fair skin color he must be a handsome boy. What a waste!
