Hi! I'm Jeffri Hong, also known as keaglez, a 21 years old geek who love the web and comic.
Happy Independence Day for Indonesia! It has been 65 years since we have freed from colonialism, thanks to the patriots that fight back then. Well, this day remind me to my old school day where we have ceremony.
And as usual, Google also celebrate it by changing their logo. 
Here I update the CSS Captcha, it is now on 0.2 beta! Thank you for the response of the previous version. While this can work nicely on major new browser, the compatibility with older browser is still minimum. Some mobile browser also haven’t implement some of CSS3 functionality, such as Opera Mini and Opera Mobile. So this is still experimental and shouldn’t be used yet on production website.
Please read the older version information here.
This update is merely a security update. The inline style is randomized now, which make it more difficult for bot to read. The order of the character is also randomized. Sure, it still doesn’t prevent the bot to read or make it impossible to read at all, but it should give more difficulty on creating such bot.
Still, no support for IE browser at all. 
Change log 0.2b:
- Automatically randomize inline style
- Automatically randomize character order
Enjoy! Any comment is appreciated.

Few days ago, I was shocked when Manga Toshokan finally taken down the majority of series they host. That means, almost all of the scanlated manga is gone in their site, leaving to manhwa and manhua (Korean and Chinese comic respectively). While I read some manhwa and manhua, it still sad to see all of the manga gone, since Manga Toshokan have a huge collection of manga that I can’t find anywhere.
That’s not ended here. One Manga will also close in a week time. One Manga is my favorite online reader site, though the quality is not as good as the one hosted in Manga Toshokan, it is much faster to load. Now they still have a good time updating any manga they had until the closing end. That’s the final week for them.
Two of the big sites have taken down for now or continue with lesser series, now there is also another big name that likely to follow them. Manga Fox for example. They still have majority of the series now, but the big three (as you might now, the big three is Bleach, One Piece and Naruto) is already taken down. So it seems that’s only time until the other series follow.
Ok, don’t get me wrong. I love manga, I always read them whenever I have time, I read scanlation manga, and whenever my favorite series published in my country, I buy them. I read both, scanlation and published manga. I love scanlation because they have updated series, so I don’t need to wait for months before it published in my country just to know the continuation of the story. There is also, many and many awesome manga that’s not published here, that leaves me with only scanlation manga to read them.
So why did the scanlation sites is taken down? The reason is, recently, US and Japanese publisher are forming a coalition to fight scanlation sites. You can read more on this news on ANN, U.S., Japanese Publishers Unite Against Manga Scan Sites.
Now that it come to this, there should be a solution, for both sides. I know that scanlation is illegal due to copyright issue, but there is a lot of manga that is not available everywhere and not as update as in Japan. I won’t mind if I have to pay to get a licensed manga to read online, so I hope there is still a way, that we can still read manga online, no matter if it is paid or not.
At least, to the extent we can see now, there is two solution. First is the upcoming Open Manga. The second? Obviously, underground… IRC or P2P to get the latest scanlation… lol
Hope everything will be well, but, farewell One Manga. It’s a good year I had with you. I still won’t said farewell to Manga Toshokan, as I will still open them regularly to check for updated manhwa and manhua.
Update: One Manga has taken down all of their manga, farewell One Manga! Now let’s see how’s other sites going.
Custom post type is one of the most powerful WordPress feature. It allows us to create just any content we need, combined with custom taxonomy, the possibility is just endless. WordPress have allowed to have custom post type and taxonomy for some while, but with WordPress 3, everything is far more easier. We have register_post_type and register_taxonomy created specifically for this purpose.
While this two combined to be a wonderful addition for your WordPress blog, there is still a lot of things that is not yet documented. Here is a few useful tips I collected when working with custom post type and taxonomy.
