Supermoon Is… What?


Supermoon Is… what?

Supermoon aka supermoon is a term that is used when the position of the moon is really close to the earth.  Is it actually like that? Scientists despite this theory. That’s because too many relative calculations need to be included in accounts. Not to mention the flat earth theory that the more make the position of the moon more doubtful. Not just its position… but also the shape.

Then what makes this moon so super? Did he go through One Punch Man training process so it became a superhero? Or because it is actually a Kryptonian that gets the yellow sun?

According to Kiwipedia:

The supermoon is the term used by astrologers to describe the state of the full moon when the moon is in its closest position to Earth (apsis / perigee). This term is not widely accepted, especially among scientists. Specifically, the super moon can be a full moon or new moon, whose distance to the earth is about 10% or less from its trajectory distance to the earth. When this phenomenon occurs, the moon appears larger and lighter, although the distance changes only a few kilometers. [1]

The phenomenon of the previous super moon occurred in 1955, 1974, 1992, and 2005. [2] On March 19, 2011, the super moon will experience its closest distance in the last 18 years, with an estimated distance of approximately 356,577 kilometers (221,567 mi). [4] On March 19, the monthly perigee phenomenon, which has a cycle of about 27.3 days, occurs simultaneously with a full moon that appears every 29 days. When the moon perigee coincides with the full moon, the lunar surface will appear 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter than the full moon. [5]

The super moons are sometimes associated with natural disasters, such as earthquakes, [6] volcanoes, and others. That is because the time of the super moon is almost always close to the occurrence of a certain natural disaster. [2] However, the super moon is not strong enough to affect the soil surface or volcano on Earth, [1] [7] the influence of this super moon phenomenon on earth is only the rise of sea level by several inches in some areas.

The effect of the super moon phenomenon on the increase in seismic activity actually occurs on the surface of the moon itself, although the effect is not too great. When in a state of the super moon, the moon experiences an earthquake. This is detected by seismological instruments left by Apollo 11 astronauts on the moon. [8]

The term super moon was first put forward by astrologer Richard Nolle in 1979. [9]

End of Serious Discussion

Back to the moon from my view …

“Wherever we are, the moon is never bigger than our thumbs.”

 I’m not the one who made it … it’s John’s word in Dear John. I remember when I was in elementary school, there was an Indonesian astronaut which has been scheduled to go to the moon. Wow, cool right? But unfortunately, she didn’t make it, or did she? Maybe Google knows … wait …

Walah, I even find 2015 news on Detik.com about Rizwan who will be the first Indonesian to the moon. Meaning that “mbak-mbak” that I mentioned earlier didn’t make it there.

There was once a theory that if all KFC chicken lined-up will be as long as the distance from earth to the moon. Interesting theory? So why we ourselves never been to the moon? Is it because we have less flour?

Back to the title of this article, why the moon is never reversed? I myself realized this when I read someone’s comments on the web Deviant Art who commented on his friend’s work. He said (more or less), “good, but the moon is upside down.” I then realized that the moon was never reversed or seems flipped. Actually, do not have a headache thinking about it, just say it because of the power of God.

How to Know The Notes on Guitar Fretboard The Easy Way Pt. 01


This time, I will cover How to Know The Notes on Guitar Fretboard The Easy Way! As a beginner, I used to think that all guitarists know 144 different notes on their fretboards. I got this number by multiplying 24 frets with 6 strings. Or 22 frets in most Musicman and Fender’s made. I was glad to know that I was wrong. 😀

Also read: Steve Vai Academy

This is the list of what helps me to get familiar with my guitar fretboard:

Power Chords

The power chord is a chord made by removing the Major/minor identifier, which is the 3rd notes of its relative root. This is G power chord in the key of G MajorTablature:

|———————- <— 1st string
|———————- <— 2nd string
|———————- <— 3rd string
|–5—————— <— 4th string <– this is a high do (G) use pinkie
|–5—————— <— 5th string <– this is a sol (D) use ring finger
|–3—————— <— 6th string <– this is a do (G) use index finger

The tab tells us to play the 3rd fret of the 6th string, the 5th fret of the 5th string and also the 5th fret on the 4th string, altogether.

Also read: 30 Cool World Guitarists

By keeping the same form, we can play in all locations starting from 4th string and lower (5th and 6th). The form will change on the higher strings since the 2nd string is tuned differently).

With this method, you can always be sure that The note produced by Index will always be THE SAME with the note produced by Pinkie. And ring finger will always be the fifth note.

Since there are no 3rd notes in power chord, you can use it freely in chord progressions, except the 7th. 7th has its 5th down a half step. But, you don’t have to worry about it now… or do you?

That’s it for now, I will continue deeper on How to Know The Notes on Guitar Fretboard The Easy Way Pt. 02.

What To Do After Pop OS Installation on Chromebook or Mac


This is My list of what to do after Pop OS installation:

 

First Setup

After a fast installation (versus other Linux distro installation) and restarting, you will be greeted by the Welcome screen. If nothing happens after the restart, make sure that you have unplugged the Live USB drive.  Hit Next.

On the Welcome screen, you’ll have to choose your keyboard layout. The most common is English (US). If you’re not sure, click the preview and compare the layout on the screen to your physical keyboard. Hit Next again.

Select your Wifi connection and insert the password. If you are not in any Wifi area, you can skip this. But, I recommend that you connect to the internet for the sake of completing the first installation.

Choose whether you want to turn the Location Services on or off. This will help Pop to determine which server you’re going to get everything Pop needs among other common location related.

Choose your Time Zone then hit Next.

This is the best part of Pop OS.It offers what elementary OS (my first favorite), which is Gnome Online Accounts. Connect your Online Accounts by selecting the services and then complete your activation. You can have multiple accounts at the same time.

The services are:

  • Google
  • Next cloud
  • Facebook
  • Microsoft
  • Flickr
  • Pocket
  • Foursquare
  • Microsoft Exchange
  • Media Server
  • Todoist
  • IMAP and SMTP
  • Enterprise Login (Kerberos)

Hit Next to bring you to your personal profile. Fill the form and choose whether you want to encrypt your home folder or not. Be careful, encrypting home folder means more security. No one can access your data, and that’s including you if you forget how to access your hard drive when shut happens. Hit Next to bring you to the last setup page and start using Pop!_OS. You will then have to log in with the password you set before.

What Next?

Click Files on the dock. The dock is where your icons sit waiting for you. The dock is by default auto-hide itself. So you might need to move your cursor to the far left of the screen.

In Files, you can see your Google Drive sit there just like your hard drive. Cool, huh!?! It really helps someone with storage space issue like me. Remember that it only works online. The good thing is, you don’t have to bring your laptop home from the office or vice versa because everything is stored in the Cloud.

Also read Cloudbacko, Mega and Deego, and Blaze, cloud storage solution.

Turn on Tap to Click

I do this because Acer C720P doesn’t feel really nice clicking.

Go to your setting by pressing super (search) button on your keyboard and type “tap” without the semicolon. It will call the Mouse & Touchpad setting.

You can also do other tasks from this search bar. For example, typing “vol” will call volume related items such as Hard drive and Sound. Typing “pic” will take you to Pictures, and so on… experiment with it. It’s fun.

You can change what will be included in the search later. In short, it’s like pressing cmd + space on a Mac.

Update Your Software

If you have the active internet connection, you can type “up” then select Software & Updates. Click “Download from” then choose “Other” for the server selection. Click “Select Best Server”. A series of tests will be executed to find the best server for you. most likely it will point to somewhere near your location. Click on “Choose Server” and then enter your password.

Close and then reload. It will then updating cache and begin downloading.

You can also try the harmless way by opening the terminal and then type: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade. This will tell Pop to… well, update and upgrade.

Set Keyboard Shortcuts

Chromebook has limited buttons, hence the keyboard shortcuts.

Press power then types “key” then chose the keyboard. You will then see the default keyboard shortcuts. Don’t memorize it, change them to your likes  (unless you’re sharing your laptop).

You can press ESC to cancel or go back to your previous screen/menu.

Install The Software You Need

Open Pop!_Shop and then install your software from there. Pop! can also do the most task using the command line, but I think, using a Terminal is not the reason why you use Pop! in the first place, right?

This Is My List of Top Priority Software:

  1. Google ChromeThis might sound contra-productive if you’re running Pop on your Chromebook, but having Chrome installed means reducing the need to re-install the same application you already installed and/or purchased on Chrome Web Store.And Since Google killed the apps and games section on another platform, the only way for you to get Chrome Apps is by installing on your Chromebook using Chrome OS and then it will be automatically available on all Chrome you’re using. All you have to do is open the Chrome and let it finish the installation.One more thing that makes this step is necessary is your Chrome apps will be working like a native application. So simple, right? It’s like unzipping a compilation of apps altogether.

    Read: How to Install Google Chrome on Linux.

  2. GIMPGIMP is a photo editor that supports image layering and blending just like Photoshop. Sadly, it’s not available in the Pop!_Shop. Pop is quite strict about what’s in and what’s not. But I personally think that GIMP should be in the Shop.You can install GIMP by Terminal with sudo apt-get install gimp

    Read about GIMP here.
  3. PitiviPitivi is a video editing software. It’s simple and zero learning hour needed. Not as powerful as other video editing software, but it has everything a casual user needs.

    You can install GIMP by Terminal with sudo apt-get install pitivi

    Read about Pitivi here.

  4. You can continue using the same step I did with elementary OS here.

No Tweaking

Pop is my second favorite after elementary OS. Both look just great out of the box. I always have difficulties when I have to choose one of them. So, I currently have both installed. >;p

Minimalistic Website Using GeneratePress WordPress Theme


We’ve talked about WordPress like a lot. As I’ve said in the previous articles, WordPress is easy to use but difficult to master. For me, the most difficult part is what others might think as the easiest part, which is “Choosing a theme”. As an install/uninstall maniac and the luxury of becoming a WordPress user, I used to change my website WordPress theme more than once a week. And that’s bad for SEO. And that’s until I tried GeneratePress.

I was searching for a theme that has a minimalistic look, powerful function, and on the top of all (as a writer) has good fonts.

Get GeneratePress here!

With GeneratePress, I can have the best of all worlds. I can change the fonts, and I was very very surprised when I found that I even can customize the fonts to my likes.

Ubuntu Studio: An Idiot’s Review


I've been using one of Ubuntu when I decided to run Ubuntu along-side my MacOSX and Chrome OS (yes, that's possible). Kinda late actually since everyone else in the world has tested Ubuntu at least once in their life. So, I guess I'm not too late to try this. Or may I say that I'm actually just at the right time to test a Linux myself? The Linux my friends use looked crappy and ugly. Sounds harsh, but you know this is true.

No matter how good you are in programming or even you can boil an egg with a command line, when I say ugly here, I mean by the look only.

After the first install, I am starting to fall in love with Linux and started my path of searching a better (looking) Linux since then: These are the list of Linux distros I've tried, it's ordered from the one I favor the most first:

  1. Ubuntu 17.10
  2. Elementary OS
  3. Pop OS
  4. Solus
  5. Zorin
  6. Deepin
  7. Nitrux
  8. Freespire

I have also tried other flavors, you can find them using the search bar somewhere on this web. The first Linux I tried is Gallium before I walked my way installing Linux on my Chromebook using Crouton. No details will be covered here except for Ubuntu Studio, you can check the links on the list above to see more about the Linux version you want to know.

What Ubuntu Studio Offers

Ubuntu Studio is claimed to offer better multimedia production and experience. Started by changing its default theme including sounds. Optimized photo and video editing software, such as Gimp for photo editing and Pitivi for video editing. I haven't tried any music editing software until now.

Ubuntu looks good too, just like it's previous version (16) which is running alongside my Chrome OS right now. It's not the best looking, but everything measured and placed just fine.

Unity 3D Download


I was looking for Unity crouton installation method when I found Unity 3D download page instead. I used to install Xfce using this method. Was not exactly what I was looking for, but not disappointed either. Unity is more than a gaming platform. It’s also a community populated with creators, such as 3D artists and programmers. I was amused when I see Go Map in action.

You can download Unity 3D directly from here.

What is Actually the profession George in The Amityville Horror


The story of horror in Amityville is like is endless for adapted and made into a story that sells. Beginning the 1970s as rendering The Amytiville Horror to the big screen. Appears also as a documentary, and then made a reboot the year 2005 sdengan cast Ryan Reynolds, the Deadpool. After it appeared again the version documentation and appeared in other versions of this story. But unfortunately the latter is more like a B-Rated movie.

See details of this movie here.

What I like from the movie this is it, the film is not (just) rely on the element of jump-scare. Tension built humanely, as the process of changing yourself, to George since day one that haunted house they entered.

I Am Still Confused

However, unfortunately this tension to be disturbed by the appearance of Ketchum, the sadistic preacher that his form is not iconic. Unlike the figure or Annabele Valak criticized old people who continue after The Conjuring is missing from cinema. Unfortunately again, if we eliminate the figure of Ketchum, then this movie is nothing more than a story about George's stress because it broke after buying a home.

And I don't see him work for the film, in addition to making firewood.

Where Is Accidentally Heard The Amityville Horror?

If the name does not sound familiar buatmu Amityville, maybe you never heard it discussed by Ed and Lorraine Warren in The film The Conjuring. Despite all their spiritual testimony contradicted by Kaplan, still does not make this film so less creepy.

Another thing that bothers me. How Defeo (the father) could be fired at all the members of his family at home that much without one ever woke up? If viewed from the shape of his weapon, it is definitely the sound of noise.

What if the incident is actually the mother meracun it all with food (or dope left the sexy babysitter), so the father being delusional, paranoid and shooting up his poisoning. Anyone ever investigating until it is not?

Or is it because their ears covered by something that now exist in the reward?
