Bill Gates’ rules for Kids!
Read this….. very cool!
Dear Colleagues & Friends
Here are a few rules of wisdom and this from the richest man in the world. They must be true!!!!
All the best
This should be posted in all schools and work places
Love him or hate him, he sure hits the nail on the head with this! Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world.
Rule 1: Life is not fair – get used to it!
Top 9 Habits of Highly Successful Entrepreneurs
Parama W. Danoesubroto, a friend of mine, recently shared a bit of his vast business-savviness. It’s great enough that I’d like to share it here, both with my future self and with you the cool person (yes! YOU) who read this blog. Extra-gladly he’s willing to license his ideas as Creative Commons (oh so geeky!).
So, from this point below it’ll be his words, not mine:
Here’s what I’ve learned if I wanted to keep on continuing to be an entrepreneur.
These are just my values that I keep for myself. This might not apply or be true to other people.
Citibank Class Action Lawsuit, Bunga, Meterai, dan Tol
Baru-baru ini saya jadi tertarik mengikuti perkembangan tuntutan Class Action kepada Citibank yang diajukan oleh Bapak Jojo Rahardjo mengenai besar tagihan kartu kredit Citibank yang “nggak beres.”
Saya sendiri adalah pemegang kartu kredit BCA Card dan BCA VISA yang relatif puas dengan layanannya, yang alhamdulillaah belum pernah kena bunga kartu kredit (semoga nggak perlu dicoba).
Beberapa cuplikan masalahnya: (saya nggak me-rephrase karena takut salah tulis)
Intinya adalah tidak ada yang salah dengan formula perhitungan bunga setiap transaksi pada tagihan saya. Melalui telpon itu Pak Hari berjanji akan mem-fax penjelasan formula perhitungan bunga yang menurut saya tidak perlu di-fax, karena sudah dikirimkan melalui fax kepada saya sebelumnya dan sudah saya mengerti.
“Selling” for 0% Profit!
Today I just found one way (though not so “good idea”) to have a 45-day loan with 0% interest……!
I got approx 800,000 rupiahs today, cash, in less than an hour, that I can return around end January.. it was very easy.
I was shopping with my friends (actually my Entreprenur University Kediri classmates), at Gramedia book store. I’m not really sure if I want to buy a book, but seeing my friends take up a few books, I decided to buy a book and ask them, “hey, why dont you help me. what if you pay to me, and I’ll pay all of our books using my BCA credit Card?” In short, he said alright. And I start “marketing” my scheme to the other friends. So they joined.
Semantic Interface Driven Architecture and Continuous Change Driven Development
The time has come for yet another wishful thinking. With the rise of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Event Driven Architecture (EDA), and Test Driven Development (TDD) extended with Behavior Driven Development (BDD), and a bunch of other buzzwords… let me introduce something else for the enterprise world:
Semantic Interface Driven Architecture (SIDA)
In short, it’s a Model Driven Architecture (MDA), sprinkled with interfaces to reduce coupling of inter-model transformations, and semantic inferences in the spirit of topic maps and RDF+OWL, implemented on top of SOA and EDA.

7 Reasons the 21st Century is Making You Miserable
It turns out humans are social animals after all. And that ability to suffer fools, to tolerate annoyance, that’s literally the one single thing that allows you to function in a world populated by other people who aren’t you. Otherwise, you turn emo. Science has proven it.
The Human Heart, So Many Things to Learn About
there are so many things I need to learn ………!!
wow, I can’t believe it.
waktu saya masih SMA, saya pikir saya cuma akan cukup dengan belajar teknologi komputer
waktu saya menjelang lulus SMA sampai kuliah, saya pikir saya sangat membutuhkan persahabatan, bidang psikologi, dan hal2 yang berhubungan dengan hubungan manusia JUGA, di samping komputer
koma……
untuk sekian lamanya, hanya itu yang ada dalam pikiran saya
entah kenapa, lama2 saya menjadi *diperlukan*… dalam artian bahwa diperlukan itu tidak 100% murni keinginan saya, untuk mempelajari hal-hal lain.
Windows Vista, DRM, Microsoft, and All That Complex Stuff!
I was just reading A Cost Analysis of Windows Vista Content Protection, written by Peter Gutmann, referred by Bad Vista.
A pre-disclaimer: I’m not really “at war” with Microsoft, as I have some friends at Microsoft, and even I’m myself a .NET Blogger.
In short, it describes how the content protection features incorporated in Microsoft’s latest-and-greatest operating system Windows Vista actually backlashes… not to Microsoft, but to Microsoft’s loyal users. Innocent people who actually shell out money to watch movies… and simply can’t play them:
Ubuntu Bug #1: Microsoft has a majority market share
I have just known this. It’s pretty weird that I have never visited this bug before. 
I thought this was a way for Ubuntu founder Mark Shuttleworth to have some fun.
It seems, it’s no fun at all:
Microsoft has a majority market share in the new desktop PC marketplace. This is a bug, which Ubuntu is designed to fix.
Desain Kartu Nama PRIMACOM: Step-by-Step
Baru-baru ini barusan bikin kartu nama di tempat kerja gw. Sebenarnya bukan “ndesain” sich, karena cuma nyomot2 dan itupun mungkin gw sambil “melanggar hukum” in the process. Tapi gapapa selama belum ada yang nuntut (amiiiin).
Pertama-tama gw nyari template… tentu saja tanyanya ama om Google seperti biasa. Gw emang pengen tampilan yang lumayan modern dan Web 2.0-ish.
Dari sekian banyak, akhirnya kecantol ama kartu ini yang dibuat oleh ulahts di kontes SitePoint:
Setelah itu langkah-langkah selanjutnya sepenuhnya dioprek pake GIMP. Lebih enak Photoshop sich, jelas, tapi “terpaksa” deh berhubung pake Ubuntu. Yah, gapapa deh… Hitung-hitung sambil belajar GIMP.
