3 students joining the gym in Sudirman Apartment Tower B Lt 2 will pay “3for2″ (you’ll have to present your LSPR-ID card). That is a 33% discount on their regular price list. You can join for three or more months (doing the math here it should start at 225.000 IDR a month or much less depending on the duration of the contract - 3/6/12 months). Just comment here to gather for a team of 3. “One for all, all for one!” The Three Musketeers. Alexandre Dumas. (but they actually ended up to be four of them..mmmhhh..)

The Internet connection speed of Indonesia ranks on place 89 compared with countries like Japan, Korea and Europe as the forerunner according to ZDNet Australia’s speed test. To get the best from such an Internet connection it is advisable to use at least a fast browser as a slow browser will act as another bottleneck in showing websites. A recent test of the most used web browsers, again conducted bei ZDNet Australia, comes to the following result:

Safari is undoubtedly one of the fastest browsers available…The worst-performing browser in our tests is Internet Explorer 7…Overall, and taking the performance of the beta versions into consideration, the browser performance rankings are as follows: Firefox and Safari in a clear lead ahead of Opera and finally Internet Explorer.

So get Safari or Firefox (both for PC and Mac) to speed up your Internet experience! Happy surfing!

When it comes to writing a research paper many students feel overwhelmed or even right away helpless. This seems to be a pandemic experience of S1 and S2 students. Maybe the Florida Community College at Jacksonville felt empathy with their students and produced this series of 24 video-podcasts in English Composition to come to their rescue: “Writing About Non-Fiction - A Resource for Writing Research Papers”
Each of the videos runs about half an hour and covers a topic from writing a first draft to revising and editing. Click for the complete list (here).

When you click on “Comments’ under the post title you see a funny little picture beside the names. You can easily show your photo or any other picture (e.g. cartoon) of your choice when you register at Gravatar. A gravatar, or globally recognized avatar, is quite simply an avatar image that follows you from weblog to weblog appearing beside your name when you comment on gravatar enabled sites like FIM-Jakarta. As an example you can see Mr.T’s avatar in his comments - a little black and white picture he tries to look younger with. Try it out and let your personality shine on the web!

The all new iPod nano comes in 9 chromatic colors. Which one fits to your style? You might win one if you become an iPod test-driver, so comment to this post with your choice of color and it might even fit to the color of your pumps or sneakers. Don’t miss your chance- apply for the test-drive!
