Internet search on Omni International Hospital

It has been quite some time since the case of Prita and Omni International Hospital and I wonder how the hospital has been viewed from the Internet.

A Google Search of "Omni International Hospital" returns only 3 links (2 official website and 1 from Wikipedia) of information about the hospital, while 9 others are simply news and blogs of what has happened between the hospital and Prita. 9 out of 11 means 81.81% information are simply not in favour of the hospital. All search results return pages from Indonesia (perhaps Google is smart enough to identify my location)

A Bing Search of "Omni International Hospital" returns 2 links of the official website, 2 not-relevant information about the hospital, and 6 news and blogs talking about the case; which makes it 60% information from the first page of the search engine not in favour of the hospital.

A Yahoo Search of "Omni International Hospital" returns 3 official websites, 2 job-related information in the hospital, and 5 news and blogs about the case; which makes it 50% information from the first page of the search not in favour of the hospital.

All Google search returns pages from Indonesia, Bing and Yahoo searches return some entries of the news from international.

For those who don't know what's going on in Indonesia, please do a search on any search engine (Google, Yahoo, Bing) for Omni International Hospital Prita.

Whatever the outcome of the case, it is obviously not good for the hospital.

I haven't been much to most of the airports mentioned apart from Polonia, Medan and Soekarno Hatta, Jakarta (and perhaps Ngurah Rai, Denpasar once in 2001).

Rather disappointed not seeing the standards set for the awards, but I wonder how Polonia could have got that point; knowing that it wasn't even clean (at least not when I was there last month sending my friends to the airport). Is it clean now? or the is it the standard being set by government? -_-
Sorry for the absence, I'm back for now ^_^

Picasa on Facebook

I've been using Picasa for years and since I've been in Facebook for the last few weeks, I've been wondering if I can simply upload my photos using Picasa. A simple google gave a direct answer. ^_^

Try it out here.

Linux Mint

I've been struggling to find an easy way to install audio and video codecs in Ubuntu so that it can play mp3 and avi files. I've been craving for some out of the box linux distribution that supports those codecs out of the box.

I kept searching.. until I found Linux Mint this morning; it's a ubuntu based linux distribution.
It simply plays mp3 and divx files out of the box. That saves a lot of hassle for those linux machines that are not connected to the Internet.

Current stable release is still Linux Mint 6 (based on Ubuntu 8.10) and I'm looking forward to the next release (based on Ubuntu 9.04)

QVGA Pocket e-Sword

Okay.. new problem comes after installing the new ROM update of HTC Touch Diamond. The display of Pocket e-Sword seems to get wrong.

I posted a thread at XDA-Developers forum and found out that it's the .NET Compact Framework 3.5

I hope there will be some sort of fix for this.

Anniversary of Metro

It has been exactly 12 years since my parents started their business. Mom & Dad are at Jakarta for family wedding and anniversary, so I'm taking initiative to get a cake for everyone there.
