I was wrong about being back soon to Wagner or Stravinsky. In fact, I’m still listening to Nielsen’s Fifth Symphony every morning and evening. I just guess that the wrong thing in me is my tend to be sticky to a meme. Annoying thing, if only you knew what I mean: then I have never liked or loved anything. It’s just memetic stickiness, observed like an obsession, or passion, or love; yet it’s only symbols dancing within my strange loop.
Yes, I’m in the anti-human mood. Sorry. Now, back to Carl Nielsen.

Aku takkan terbutakan oleh api selainku
Tak seperti kupu-kupu yang terbakar api menipu
Tatkala kegelapan malam datang menjelang
Dengan api dadaku jalan kubuat terang -

The IEEE Comsoc Lecture on 4G Technologies carried out in Bandung last weekend resulted in a moderate success. Considering the minimal {time|financial|human} resources we have, I would say it was more than expectation.
The next lecture will be conducted in Yogyakarta, scheduled on December 19th. It is not too late to offer your support. Contact me: mail@kun.co.ro

But why Wagner?
I guess, like the other kinds of human being, I need human touch & support. But, by being the sceptic & cynical me, and by being extremely rational (yet trying to be empathic, in term of understanding the human mind observed from multi sides), sometimes I just have to let myself out of emotion support from the others. In those times, I have Wagner. -

Young Siegfried! That large reptile you are facing is only Fafner the greedy giant. With the golden ring he gains the power, with the tarnhelm he sets his thousand faces, covering his rotten heart. Siegfried, the fearless, you are not weak. Your pen is sharper than any sword. The giant’s heart is beating fearfully facing your sharp mind.
Siegfried … your time now! -

Btw, this is the writer’s notion about Strange loop:
«And yet when I say “strange loop”, I have something else in mind — a less concrete, more elusive notion. What I mean by “strange loop” is — here goes a first stab, anyway — not a physical circuit but an abstract loop in which, in the series of stages that constitute the cycling-around, there is a shift from one level of abstraction (or structure) to another, which feels like an upwards movement in a hierarchy, and yet somehow the successive “upward” shifts turn out to give rise to a closed cycle. That is, despite one’s sense of departing ever further from one’s origin, one winds up, to one’s shock, exactly where one had started out. In short, a strange loop is a paradoxical level-crossing feedback loop.» (pp. 101-102) -

I have to re-read “I am a Strange Loop” — for the 4th time. This time it is to save my mind. Body and mind is explainably linked, but sometimes the body manipulates the mind by making it thinks that the mind is in control. I am old and smart enuff to understand it
. But still, in moment like this, I cannot overcome it easily.
No, I will not surrender. I am a control-freak, so this I must control the mind, the body. Not as easy as understanding how the linkages happen and work, I must detect any shortcut I can use. I shall overcome. I shall win. I am the winner, that’s me. -

Then HP introduces this term: service governance framework. It encourages the use of open standard, reusability, and other issues to ensure an effective SDP implementation. Other issue delivered is the utilisation of data mining toward users profile, applications, etc, etc, to make it SDP 3.0.

Now Telemanagement Forum discusses the linkage to business: SOA, SDP, Web2.0, etc, mainly SDF. Great pictures; somewhat reminds me to C++ standard template library
. Indeed, this is the funniest speaker today. -

Telecom Italia presents another architecture of SDP 2.0. The drivers are the necessities for service & network abstraction & virtualisation, including reusability and interface standardisation. Scalability & modularity would include plugins capability.
