I’m sure most of you who dealing with graphic design knows about typography (typo). If you don’t, you might want see this vlog about an introduction to typography by Karen Kavett.
you can find more of her graphic design vlogs on her youtube play list.
And yes! you might be already know that there is a lot of free-fonts out there on internet. However, sometimes we get confused when it come to use font type on designs if we don’t know what is better to some design-cases. Continue reading
Last year I got several textures that I took from Commonwealth park at Lake Burley Griffin . These textures might work perfectly as website background or whatever design case. I also include several textures besides concrete that I found interesting. So, right-click on each image and save it in high resolution version or you can download it all in zip file I’ve provided at the bottom of this post, enjoy.
Couple days ago, I spent so many hours figuring out how to make my figure captions centered in LaTex. I use WindEdt 6 Editor and IEEE journal template for that. The problem was, the IEEE journal template will automatically make the figure captions left justified. Several minutes later, I found a great page written by Michael Shell to solve this problem. Here’s the link : http://www.michaelshell.org/tex/ieeetran/
According to the above link, basically what I need to do is to add an additional code in my tex file as follows:
\makeatletter
\long\def\@makecaption#1#2{\ifx\@captype\@IEEEtablestring%
\footnotesize\begin{center}{\normalfont\footnotesize #1}\\
{\normalfont\footnotesize\scshape #2}\end{center}%
\@IEEEtablecaptionsepspace
\else
\@IEEEfigurecaptionsepspace
\setbox\@tempboxa\hbox{\normalfont\footnotesize {#1.}~~ #2}%
\ifdim \wd\@tempboxa >\hsize%
\setbox\@tempboxa\hbox{\normalfont\footnotesize {#1.}~~ }%
\parbox[t]{\hsize}{\normalfont\footnotesize \noindent\unhbox\@tempboxa#2}%
\else
\hbox to\hsize{\normalfont\footnotesize\hfil\box\@tempboxa\hfil}\fi\fi}
\makeatotherI have added the above code after my document class initialization in my tex file and it has worked perfectly for me. I really need to thank Michael Shell for his useful information regarding this matter 
. Hope this information will also help those who face the same problem.

Setiap kali berkunjung ke Yerusalem, saya sering tertegun melihat orang-orang Yahudi orthodox yang penampilannya sama semua. Agak mirip dengan China di era Mao yang masyarakatnya dibangun oleh dogma pada rezim otoriter dengan pakaian ala Mao. Di China, orang-orang tua di era Mao jarang senyum, sama seperti orang Yahudi yang baru terlihat happy saat upacara tertentu di depan Tembok Ratapan. Itupun tak semuanya. Sebagian terlihat murung dan menangis persis di depan tembok yang banyak celahnya dan di isi kertas-kertas bertuliskan harapan dan doa.
Perhatian saya tertuju pada jas hitam, baju putih, janggut panjang dan topi kulit berwarna hitam yang menjulang tinggi di atas kepala mereka. Menurut Dr. Stephen Carr Leon yang pernah tinggal di Yerusalem, saat istri mereka mengandung, para suami akan lebih sering berada di rumah mengajari istri rumus-rumus matematika atau bermain musik. Mereka ingin anak-anak mereka secerdas Albert Einstein, atau sehebat Violis terkenal Itzhak Perlman.

We use our child theme of TwentyEleven for this site that support some Post Format functions including video. However several days ago, we update our WordPress site into the new one as well as updating the TwentyEleven theme. Unfortunately, I could not use video format since I modified the functions.php from the parent theme which was changed as it is updated now. So I was googling for the smarter way to in order to fix it. Fortunately I found the trick on wordpress.stackexchange.com and it is very useful. Below is the code and I added it into the child theme’s functions.php.
// add post-format in child theme
add_action('after_setup_theme', 'minds_setup', 11);
function minds_setup() {
add_theme_support( 'post-formats', array( 'aside', 'link', 'gallery','status', 'quote', 'image', 'video' ));
}
