Tetap Damai ber-Linux dengan BibbleTime, aplikasi Alkitab Digital di Linux



Pada posting saya beberapa waktu yang lalu, saya pernah membahas tentang menjalankan sebuah aplikasi Windows yaitu Alkitab Digital 2.7 di desktop Linux dengan menggunakan Wine. Nah, ternyata, di lingkungan Linux pun sudah terdapat aplikasi sejenis yang sebenarnya sudah sangat bagus dan lengkap, namanya adalah BibbleTime.


Bibble Time adalah sebuah aplikasi Alkitab digital yang (secara khusus) dibuat untuk desktop KDE, namun tentu saja dapat dijalankan di desktop X11 apapun. Seperti kebanyakan aplikasi berbasis Qt, Bibble Time memiliki interface yang sangat eyecandy dan enak di pandang. Dengan dominasi warna biru, serta splash screen yang elegan.


Dan tentu saja, keunggulan aplikasi ini adalah pada isinya. Bibble Time telah menyertakan beberapa versi Alkitab, yang antara lain adalah King James Version (KJV). Selain itu, yang paling luar biasa, Bibble Time juga menyertakan alkitab versi Bahasa Ibrani dengan tulisan Ibrani (Hebrew). Hal tersebut tentu sangat bermanfaat bila kita ingin sedikit mempelajari bahasa Ibrani. Selain bahasa Ibrani, Bibble Time juga disertai dengan bahasa dan tulisan Yunani Kuno.


Yang paling menarik dari itu semua adalah, kita bisa membuka semua versi Alkitab tersebut dalam satu window, sehingga kita bisa melihat dan memahami semuanya dalam satu tampilan. Hal tersebut tentu sangat bermanfaat bagi kita yang ingin mengetahui perbedaan-perbedaan kosakata yang digunakan dalam berbagai versi Alkitab.


Aplikasi Bibble Time dapat kita jumpai dalam repositori beberapa distribusi besar, dan sebagi contoh adalah Ubuntu. Selain itu, bagi kita yang ingin mendapat Bibble Time pre-installed, kita bisa memilih dua dari distro turunan Ubuntu, yaitu Ubuntu Christian Edition, dan Ichthux.


Secara keseluruhan, aplikasi Bibble Time adalah sangat lengkap, fungsional dan interaktif. Satu kekurangan terbesarnya hanya satu, belum mendukung terjemahan versi Bahasa Indonesia. Mungkin pada versi Bibble Time berikutnya, akan ada anak bangsa yang akan membuat versi terjemahan untuk di sematkan dalam aplikasi ini.


Semoga bermanfaat, dan semoga desktop Linux bisa memberi kita lebih dari sekedar manfaat praktis teknologi, tetapi juga spiritualitas.

Q4OS 4.6 "Gemini" Review: A Real Hidden Gem

Distro hopping is a fun adventure. It's a pure joy you can only find in GNU/Linux world. It's a nature you want to escape from what I call 'comfort ecosystem'. You need to play, trying something new even for a few little differences. For a long time I've been using Ubuntu family as my daily driver. The main reason is probably just same as any other Ubuntu user: it's reliable. You can't go wrong with Ubuntu. It works almost in any device, even for the newest one. It is the ultimate Linux distro you can rely on. However, sometimes, you will feel bored. The temptation to flirt with other new distro is unbearable. There are a lot of hot new Linux distros waiting to try.  A Real Hidden Gem I've known this distro for a quite long time. At first, it offered Trinity Desktop as the main desktop, which brings me the sweet memories about KDE3. It is simply fast, stable, almost without any issue, and it is based on Debian. I install it on my old machine and I love t...

Lubuntu 12.04 with Mac OS X Lion Theme, xcompmgr & cairo-dock [click to enlarge] Mac OS X is the special one in the Desktop market. So many people admire it because of its beauty, safety (yes, it is an UNIX) and its profesional image as “an OS for profesional modern art designer”.

Download, Install and Play Angry Birds Rio In Ubuntu/Debian Linux

Angry Birds Rio is a spin-off of the new-legendary game Angry Birds. This plot is specially taken from popular animation film Rio, an adventure of a pet Blue macaw bird from US in Brazilian jungle. Based on that successful film, there are some game developers created a spin-off for Angry Birds game called Angry Birds Rio. The good news about this is, there is already a flash version of this game so we could play it in Linux desktop easily using flashplayer (standalone player, or by Internet Browser with flashplayer plugin). And just like what I've done before in Angry Animals game, I've packed this game too into Debian package so we could install it with ease. If you have had installed flashplayer standalone, you don't have to download and install it. But, if you haven't it yet, you have to download the flashplayer standalone to play this game. These are the packages : adobe-flashplayer-standalone-linux_10_i386_debian.deb angrybirds-rio_0.1_i386_debian.deb This is a fre...
