After several years absence of doing sport exercises, I started again. I do wall climbing now, and hopefully become a certified climber someday 
. In the past, I was practicing Silat, and still dreaming become a Pencak Silat master until now. But I couldn’t make it. Like a software developer, Silat requires a lot of passions, commitment, and time. I’m happy searching my soul in the developer path now. Let’s climb!

Many friends were laughing at me because I choose the small LCD instead of 15.4″. The reasons are clear. I tend to bring the notebook wherever I go, and I’m a big fan of hang out with laptop at coffee shop or library. That’s why the machine with less than 2 Kg in weight is a must 
. I love this machine: small, portable, good performance.

Minggu lalu, Google meluncurkan Google Apps. Seperti biasa, ini sebuah kejutan. Setelah sebelumnya meluncurkan GMail, Spreadsheet, Docs, Calendar, dan Reader, sekarang semua fasilitas tersebut bisa dibundel dalam satu portal: Google Apps.
Anda dapat menulis dokumen di Docs, menganalisis data di Spreadsheet, menyimpan jadwal di Calendar, dan kemudian melakukan sharing dengan rekan atau kolega lain. Dengan Google Apps, fasilitas tersebut ditambah dengan web space, web hosting, dan web template dimana semua fitur diakses dalam satu portal menggunakan domain milik Anda sendiri.
Tampaknya Google Apps tidak saja akan mengurangi kue Yahoo atau Microsoft MSN, tetapi juga segera mematikan pebisnis hosting menengah dan kecil. Berikut beberapa analisisnya:

I am often asked by many people and community members, what’s Microsoft MVP? This is a typical question, they know that MVP stands for “Most Valuable Professional”, but they do not really know what actually MVP is. This post tries to give brief explanation about this award, and also some misunderstandings about it.
Please note that all of my explanation about this program are based on my personal experiences, and not represent the official Microsoft definition.
According to official Microsoft website, they describe MVP as follows:
Microsofts Most Valuable Professionals (MVPs) are recognized, credible and accessible individuals with expertise in one or more Microsoft products who actively participate in online and offline communities to share their knowledge and expertise with other Microsoft customers. Customers want an enriched pool of knowledge and real-life experience to tap for advice and feedback. MVPs are helping to satisfy this need by independently enabling customers in both online and offline technical communities. Customer feedback is vital to product development and R&D. The MVPs represent an important part of this feedback loop by providing another link for Microsoft to listen to the customer.
Please give attention to 3 keywords: recognized, credible and accessible.

Pada saat menuliskan ini, saya sedang menggunakan koneksi hotspot di Universitas Mercu Buana. Kenceng juga, mungkin karena jarang yang pakai . Saya sedang melihat-lihat situasi dan mencari info, karena Universitas ini membuka program MM baik reguler maupun akhir pekan. Saat ini saya memang sedang mencari sekolah pasca sarjana untuk Magister Manajemen. Sudah saatnya back to school, refresh knowledge dan menambah jejaring.
Kriteria yang saya gunakan antara lain:

In the past, I was a network admin. I played with Windows Server flavours, Linux, mail server (mdaemon, exchange), proxy (wingate, winroute, ISA Server, Smoothwall). The culmination point of my admin career is my first commercial book, that has been published by ElexMedia. It talked about detail configuration and management of Mdaemon mail server. I created Indoadmin.Net, a small community portal and official support of my book.
But the destiny is coming. I’m not network guy anymore. I love to be a developer and database person. I do not have enough time to update Indoadmin.Net anymore. I should decide, with a broken heart, that Indoadmin.Net is dead.

I start a new community project again. This is free ASP.NET hosting for Indonesian .Net community. So many student developers do not have real life server to host their project on the Net. Also, many professionals need to try their web application in the real connected server.
Commercial ASP.NET hosting is not affordable for most students and learner professionals. This is the main idea why I established this project. I name it ServerDotNet.Com, the place that anyone who learn ASP.NET can register and obtain a free space.

My daughter Alisha starts walking now. Sometimes she run and laugh loudly. Her new habit is wake up early in the morning (about 5 am), and start crying. She want to walking around in the yard, and do some morning exercise overthere.
She also likes helping her Mom washing some clothes and her dress.
