Google's Impact Opinion

I assume that you have already know 'bout internet, so I'm not going to roll out those incomprehension stuffs which probably could stir up your leisure time. No, of course, I'm just kidding you. Because what I want to discuss now is something that always help me out, care to support what I'm doing and gives numerous selfless assists for my on-line days. In other word, it is impossible to live normally (as a net geeks) without its attendance. Yes, you right, this one is the most popular search engine in internet, it's google.

Once I had a problem to solve, just type a keyword on its plain search box and whuups, google sort it up. Although yes there are always some grieves in the beginning, but in the next three seconds, I found it easily to figure out and be able to make one conclusion about the problem I had before. For an experienced surfer, it's more easy to not get lost in the sea of ads. But for newbies (truly me..) it's nothing to lose to get some excursions before I get my eurekas :).

The success story of Google identical to century kids miracle. Young, idealist, open-minded and long-term business oriented. By the fact, eleven years ago, Google didn't exist. Eight years ago, it didn't have a business model. Now, it has a $10 billion revenue run-rate, $10 billion in cash, $4 billion of operating cash flow, 8,000 employees, dominant global market share of the fastest-growing and most profitable advertising business in history, and $120 billion of well-deserved market capitalization. Are those just useless fiddlesticks or kind of celebrity's malodorous rumors?

I have no lamentation during sticking around with google, instead I get more and more gratification. And I extremely amazed when I found people hate this tool, so busy to curse out and try hard to ignore its positive effect. I'm not trying to be partiality, just curious if anybody has any perspective other than the very good experiences most of us have had with Google.

Google IS the internet. Could it have much more of an impact than that?

Second Experience About Changing Template

Finally, after some quite days, here the story how it goes..

Bunches of HTML code and dozen of Web Coding Software had cramped my two whole nights. Substantively I didn't know what I'm looking for. It is likely I want something new for my blog's template. Two months is not well enough for me to stand along with white minima template, so this is my second experience about changing template after previous one.

I knew Woork since first time I decided to be a blogger. Woork is a good sample how blogspot platform can be an awesome one and I love all designs that always give priority to simple, neat, clear and proffesional style. Like this one, Typoork.

I don't promise that this style would accompany along my whole blogging days, but I can convince myself that it could make me feel comfortable, ease and pleasure while I'm blogging.

What do you think?

More Sensitive

After I posted this, suddenly it makes me more sensitive. For remembered what other had suggested, I've changed the way of organize my works to this single step: consciousness. This is a hardest part to apply because I rarely connected my soul to what I see in reality. Sometime it works, but so many distractions banished all the good times. Such as writing, it would be a major point for me.

Whatever it looks like, job is a job, something which could makes us visible by others. A simple job can not be compared with an important job that we can't enjoy it. I'd like to share my experience about how to tolerate with 'cover-judgment'. I was once a band player. I played drum with my first band that called 'biscuit'. It's a grunge band. We have played for almost all of the Nirvana's songs. Every time we showed off, noisiness and kind of spasmodic sounds tailed after, and always make a quite opening stage to become a chaotic one. We naturally enjoy those moments just because we did not give a care to what other said about our music or how we played. For me it's a wonderful time. I've not presume to be an idol just because I'm not a leader, I'm just a skinny drummer who stuck in a big cold drums. But slowly it makes me understand that a little job can harmonized a complete task. Yea, a great music is no longer great if there is no great drummer. Haha, at least that's what I'm thinking. I acted like a most important man on the band and played as good as I can. Honestly, I thought that biscuit was the best grunge band ever!


More messiness means more success: that's our slogan at that moment. And the result is really nuts! We've become more popular and people started to play music just like we did, make a stage's style like we did, and even wear a costume just what we did (not all of it if you think so, not for underwear!). For almost two years we did it, we've sailed through a massive alteration in this city and no one would expect that our music was no longer heard. And all of it started with this feeling: bored. Since that, we played with no excitement, passion or significant motivation which brought this band to meet its dead...

Bore makes our consciousness sneak off. We will try hardly to search other options which more passionate and use them to kill its feeling. As long as we can not fight to reduce the vacillations, we would still fetched up.

I hope I don't meet that feeling.

Your opinion?

Monthly Review: Still a Dilemma

As a religious person, I must confess here that I'm not a good yet and also often neglect God's commandment. I know it's wrong but instead I become a better one, I constantly disregard them and here I am, still alive with hunger of something. Bla bla bla..

Err, do you know what I mean? Sorry for my English. Assume this is a note from stranger who calls himself 'nerdy one' and amazingly you try to analyze what he tries to offer. Yes, there will be miscommunication among us, but human remains human. We could chiding each other and stopped till we caught by blind alley, or try to tolerate (this is my favorite part) and attempt to smoothen all obstacles. And if you still feel sick, that’s OK, just close this window. I don’t want to muffle your precious time, and you won’t do it to me too, right? All I know is that blogging lighten my effort to learn English, because there so many sources to ask for (including you) and so many interesting people who have different culture, way of life, sight and perspective. I enjoy blogging very much, but on the other side I don’t want to agitate your enjoyment while surfing. Yes, this is still a dilemma for me.

I have blogging for almost a month, and the conclusion for this post is: do I strong enough to continue blogging for next month?

Time will answer.

Not Vote at All


Today is public holiday because it's also the first round  election day in Indonesia. Actually I am ready to vote, but I don’t know why I don't receive the invitation. May be because I'm not registered at DPT. Well, it’s not my fault to be such an irresponsible citizen. So instead of hauling myself early in the morning to go to TPS, I choose to work overtime in this quite office. That simply make me feel better. I'm not going to spend my precious time just for those lameass political parties. Haha, so ironic.

How 'bout you?

Priority, Priority!

In these rush days I have to handle more tasks than ever before. I found it more and more difficult to keep track of the many tasks needed to be accomplished in order to keep each job running on schedule. New jobs almost come in every day, old jobs go out and existing orders remain in various stages of completion. Often I receive tasks from more than one person or source, and each person who gives me work believes that his or her task should have highest priority. Sometimes I wonder how can I manage multiple priorities more effectively? Because it start to make me insane! 

May be the most important idea is to keep what I need convenient and get rid of everything I don't need. I think this is a crucial point and I don’t wanna trapped inside this vicious circle. I have worked for four years and still learn how to prioritize my tasks. Because this requires coordination with bosses, coworkers and subordinates, that I don’t have talent at those skills, I perforcedly move my intention on it.

Sun Tzu, in "The Art of War" advises: "What enables the good general to strike and conquer, and achieve things beyond the reach of ordinary men, is foreknowledge."

And that is exactly what I'm looking for right now...

Pause!

This Wednesday is little bit unhampered, so I feel nothing to lose to breathed again. So many questions on everything that occurs, so much strained situations and whole troubles that as it should be always repress me to a darkest life-street corner.

I need a break.



I have been experienced with dead lock, blurred path and endless mystification. There will be a lesson, and it still figured out by this static brain. I don't want to be someone like Cobain who says: I'm worse at what I do best, and for this gift I feel blessed. I just can not see those things clearly.

So, I decide to pause myself for a better step ahead.

The Sign

It has been a while, I know. I missed all of last week for just this premise: my life remains busy.

Four days is going too fast that don't give me more opportunities to set up a new grand idea to share. Is it the sign that I'm a lazy blogger? I cannot yet conceive of how big a deal this is. Technology such blogging has become a substitute for having big things in this life, a diversion that sometimes fools me into thinking that it has everything I need. And the fact is, I feel it deeply. I've hardly visited any blogs and obviously have not posted any single post at all. So I'll just put up this post and see what happens next.

See you, guys.
