Using CRM to Build Relationship with Your Customers
CRM Software aka Customer Relationship Management helps you to build and maintain relationship with your leads, potential customers, and current clients, as well as manage your sales pipeline.
Here’s my review of the CRM software I’ve tested.
- BatchBook
- Network Hippo
- Highrise
- Zoho CRM
- Salesforce.com
- vTiger
- SugarCRM
The three most interesting CRM solutions to me are: BatchBook, Network Hippo, and Highrise.
You probably never even heard of them.
Here’s why I picked them: they are suited to small business owners. Network Hippo and Batchbook has good integration with social networks like Facebook and Twitter.
oDesk Review for Outsourcing Work
Outsourcing has always been a struggle for me since starting my business online. In fact, I feel that almost every mastermind group that I belong to discusses the infamous “outsourcing” topic on a regular basis.
In the past, I have used eLance and Rent-a-Code rather exclusively. Both have lots of freelancers ready to do your work and my experience has been rather hit and miss. Both are good company, though.
But a few month ago, I was recommended oDesk and now it is the first place I go for any new outsourcing task.

Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10 di Axioo Neon TVR856C/TVR016C
Baru-baru ini kami “mendapat” laptop alias notebook dengan model Axioo Neon TVR 856C. Tugas yang kami terima adalah, “si bos” mengharuskan laptop ini diinstall Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10. Sayangnya, laptop ini tidak dapat diinstall Ubuntu dengan “cara biasa.” Ah, sedikit petualangan nih, pikir saya…
Sekedar petualangan ini ternyata berbuah puluhan kali restart, menunggu, googling, dan menggaruk2 kepala yang udah botak hahahha 
Masalahnya adalah:
- Live CD Ubuntu tidak bisa booting, hang sebelum instalasi karena tidak kompatibel dengan VGA onboard yaitu VIA UniChrome IGP.
- Live CD Ubuntu Alternate installer menampilkan tampilan teks yang kacau balau.
Ayat-ayat Cinta: A romantic Indonesian movie, beautifully executed
Ayat-ayat Cinta is an Indonesian movie about Fahri, a college student at Al-Azhar Islamic University, and his shortly portrayed but fruitful adventures in life and love. Along the way he’ll meet several pretty and not-so-pretty girls Maria, Aisha, Nurul, and Noura; and what’ll happen? Let’s just say that I think this is really a must watch movie!
Unfortunately, I’m too lazy right now to write something original, so I’ll just let these nice guys (or gals?

Oz Multiparadigm Concurrent Programming Language, The
I’m not sure about you, but to me Oz looks like a cool programming language to learn… and use:
Oz is a multiparadigm programming language, developed in the Programming Systems Lab at Saarland University.
Oz contains most of the concepts of the major programming paradigms, including logic, functional (both lazy and eager), imperative, object-oriented, constraint, distributed, and concurrent programming. Oz has both a simple formal semantics (see chapter 13 of the book mentioned below) and an efficient implementation. Oz is a concurrency-oriented language, as the term was introduced by Joe Armstrong, the main designer of the Erlang language. A concurrency-oriented language makes concurrency both easy to use and efficient.
Dragon Fruit aka Buah Naga: The Bad Cholesterol Killer
Baru tau kalo ternyata buah naga itu “selain dikenal sebagai alternatif dalam menyembuhkan berbagai macam penyakit, juga bisa diolah menjadi berbagai macam makanan yang lezat, yakni dari mulai sup sampe puding.”
Tentu saja, gw sendiri juga baru tau kalo ada buah yang namanya buah naga.
Berdasarkan informasi sang penulis, cara makan buah naga yang paling uenakk yaitu “dicampur kedalam salad buah, dicampur sama potongan melon, nanas (my fave), jagung, potongan telur, siram dengan Thousand Islands dan Mayo”. Boleh juga ya! Ada yang sudah mengkonfirmasikan ketersediaan menu ini di salad house favorit Anda? 
Red Fruit of Papua (Buah Merah Papua): Cures AIDS and Cancer?
Have you ever heard of Papua Red Fruit or what Indonesians natively called Buah Merah Papua?
This rare fruit has recently been gaining significant momentum as it’s claimed researched to have the ability to cure HIV/AIDS, cancer, and other diseases:

Thus the virus can not maintain live (Full Lab report).
