Cremed on Web Creme

It's been a surprising days for me lately. Today, I found out that Stucel listed on Web Creme and Light On Dark. Thanks!

StumbleUpon Surprising Random Password

Last year, I joined StumbleUpon in order to use the StumbleUpon Firefox Add-ons. Just like any registration process in every website nowadays, a random password will be sent to user's email. I always use my Yahoo! email account to handle site / forum registrations.

I'm really surprised what the StumbleUpon's random-password-robot gave me:

CandyBar 3 is Sweet, but ...

I love Panic's CandyBar 3 (who doesn't?)! This icon customizer and organizer is simply amazing. It's beautiful, unique, and have break through interface. On version 3, they pushed it further more! This Leopard-only application has Iconfactory's Pixadex built right in and it can organize your Docks too.

Since the release and the not-so-good first impression buying experience, I use CandyBar 3 application obviously to organize all of the great icons that I found on Iconfactory and MacThemes's Releases & Update section.

Listed on CSSMania

After the first praise since redesigned. Today I found out that Stucel listed on one of the CSS website gallery called: CSSMania

Thank you CSSMania.

Agua Leopard Folder Out Now!

David Lanham's clean and crisp Agua has always been my super favorite icon. It never bored me and obviously become permanent on my Mac. However, on January 22, 2008 David has expanded his popular Agua genre into Leopard icon face-on style. Go grab em!

I Bought MacHeist 2 (finally)

On January 21, 2008 I finally bought the MacHeist 2 bundle!. What's holding me since day 1? Well, of course I wait until those locked applications opened (CSSEdit, Snapz Pro X, Pixelmator) *Evil laugh*. But I do bought the MacHeist 1 bundle since day 1, because I love all the application (Delicious Library, FotoMagico, ShapeShifter, DEVONthink Personal, Disco, Rapidweaver, iClip, Newsfire, TextMate, and the choice of one Pangea Software game (Bugdom 2, Enigmo 2, Nanosaur 2, Pangea Arcade).

Landing page Revamped

Please refresh your browser's cache (Windows: ctrl+F5, Mac Firefox: cmd+F5, Mac Safari: cmd+r) because I just finished revamping the landing page by adding small presentation that covers the whole idea of website development process. The steps are: Contact, Build, Testing, Finish.

Smart Apple Ad On NY Times

This is very smart Apple ad that begin showing on New York Times recently. Quoting Mr. Walt Mossberg's (Wall Street journalist) Leopard: Faster, Easier Than Vista article.

Though some people saying that Apple ads always came off as fanboyish and thus immature, they surely kinda guilty pleasure and fun to watch.

Featured on drupalsites.net

Stucel has been featured on drupalsites.net's "Featured Drupal Sites" !!!

This is Stucel's first praise since redesigned. Thank you drupalsites for giving me large amount of backlink (and new potential clients too). I really really really appreciate it (=

MacBook Air, Nike Air and UFO

As we all know (and rumored before), Apple announced a new line of portable computers during Steve Jobs' keynote speech at Macworld 2008 held at San Francisco's Moscone Center recently, the MacBook Air.

The new machines feature a multi-touch trackpad, allowing the user to double-tap and move. Rotate a photo by pivoting your index finger around your thumb, as well as pinch & zoom. This new product is a complement to the existing MacBook and MacBook Pro lines.

CandyBar country list

When the time it's released, my long awaited CandyBar 3 is really excite me. I remember it was in the morning of November 29, 2007 and I just woke up from late night sleep. I download and tried it, it was a love at first sight.
Then I rushed my way to Buy page. Surprised that my country wasn't in the list lol!

After that, I open up my Mail, and wrote this:

Hi!

On https://www.panic.com/candybar/buy.html Country, why my country
(Indonesia) doesn't exist?
Wanted to buy CB3, I'm little surprised about this :)

and send it to candybar@panic.com

After around 20 minutes, Cabel Sasser of Panic replied my mail:

Finally It's Redesigned

The old crunched paper designHello everybody!

Yeah, finally after more then 2 years, you won't see the crunched paper anymore! That's really kinda a relief to some people lol. The old design serves its purpose, and it's time to move on!

The purpose of this website is still the same, it's simply to showcase my work. But there's more! In this new design flavour, I also put the blog section where I can talk about design and miscellaneous related things.

Long story short, welcome to the new Stucel. Thank you for your visit.
