Thank You Ubuntu!


Guess what… this morning I have just received my 10 Ubuntu CDs for free! I have ordered these CD for free from Ubuntu’s official website and after >1 month of waiting, they finally arrived. They sent me the x86 version of Ubuntu Hoary 5.04 including the installation CD and also the live CD. They are veeerrryyyy generous… So for you who wanted to try the power of Ubuntu Linux, feel free to contact me ;)

OOT: pengin tau juga makna carpe diem, mungkin bisa dijelaskan kepanjangannya spt halnya vista ;)

@Rendy: 2 cd bo! CD installasi sama CD Live-nya. Salut sama canonical dan Ubuntu. Plus, gw udah engga ikutan markplus lagi

@Gani + Rendy: Ok deh ntar saya jabarin arti kata carpe diem di postingan sendiri. Lagi kena writer’s block nih.

Tranlation Note Dari Wackypedia:

Carpe diem is Latin for “pluck the day,” meaning “enjoy the moment”. Although the classical meaning of the Latin verb “carpere” is “to pluck,” the phrase is metaphorically translated into English to mean “seize the day.” This rule of life is found in the “Odes” (I, 11.8) of the Roman poet Horace (65 - 8 BC), where it reads:
Carpe diem quam minimum credula postero
(”pluck the day, never trust the next”)

It is quoted accordingly either as a demand not to waste somebody’s time with useless things, or as a justification for pleasure and joy of life with little fear for the future. This idea was popular in 16th and 17th-century English poetry, for example in Robert Herrick’s To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time, which begins “Gather ye rosebuds while ye may”. [1]

Among the Horation themes treated by Herrick was that of carpe diem, “seize the day”, the famous motto of Odes 1.11. Another of Herrick’s poems, His Age [2] includes the lines:
Ah Posthumus! Our years hence fly,
And leave no sound; nor piety,
Or prayers, or vow
Can keep the wrinkle from the brow -

And:
A merry mind
Looks forward, scorns what’s left behind;
Let’s live, my Wickes, then, while we may
An here enjoy our holiday.

This theme is also recalled in the verses of English Victorian poet Tennyson, and in Andrew Marvell’s To His Coy Mistress.

A song in William Shakespeare’s play Twelfth Night has been referred to as “Carpe Diem”, although the phrase itself is not mentioned in it:
O MISTRESS mine, where are you roaming?
O stay and hear! your true-love’s coming
That can sing both high and low;
Trip no further, pretty sweeting,
Journeys end in lovers meeting -
Every wise man’s son doth know.
What is love? ’tis not hereafter;
Present mirth hath present laughter;
What’s to come is still unsure:
In delay there lies no plenty, -
Then come kiss me, Sweet-and-twenty,
Youth’s a stuff will not endure.

Robin Williams’ character as a teacher of a boys’ boarding school in the film Dead Poets Society uses it:
But if you listen real close, you can hear them whisper their legacy to you. Go on, lean in. Listen, you hear it? - Carpe - hear it? - Carpe, carpe diem, seize the day boys, make your lives extraordinary.

The title of a Terry Pratchett novel is Carpe Jugulum, (Pluck the neck) meaning “Go for the throat.” Another alternative, more light-hearted version common on T-shirts is carpe scrotum (pluck the scrotum), juxtaposed with the free translation “seize life by the balls”.

Metallica’s 1997 release Reload also features a song entitled “Carpe Diem Baby”, which encourages the listener to “come squeeze and suck the day / Come Carpe Diem Baby.” Progressive metal group Dream Theater’s A Change of Seasons EP features the 23-minute long title track, telling the story of a man whose birth, life and death are juxtaposed with the changing of seasons in a single year. The song carries a very strong theme of “seizing the day” and making every moment meaningful. Soundbytes from Dead Poets Society and Robert Herrick’s poem mentioned earlier in this article are featured in the song.
