Misunderstanding Open Source

I see still often happened misunderstand to open source. Following I embrace some explanations conceptors and activator free software and open source, be like Eric S Raymond, Richard M Stallman, etc.
One of the special purpose maker software in his masterpiece license as free software or open source is to get the friend colaboration so that yield software the goodness quickly and have cheap expense, some good Product for example : Apache, MySQL, PHP, Java, Postfix, etc.
Thus, it's not to make software free of charge.
Free of charge in understanding not necessarily the expense of to get the permit to using-learning-developing and releasing that only one of many positive effects of the model open source.
Other purpose:
. - amenity of update, patch, and other repair, caused by source.
. - cost-saving, time, and manpower in world, very darling if each;every pemrogram have to start from zero, if other have made it. Better of time used to develop furthermore or do something else.
. - etc.
Making expense software open source not cheap, more than anything else free of charge, be like seen from result survey MERIT yg defray Uni Eropa:
. - Development expense OpenOffice: 482 jt euro, [about/around] 5 trillion Rp.
. - Kernel ( operating system heart) Linux: 882 jt euro, ~ 10 trillions rupiahs

Transformer the movie, i wonder how to make this realistic

last week i wacthed a very interesting movie, yes... like i always waiting for science fiction movie, this is one of the best i think. This film as a whole is animation film of 3D best which is me have look on. Graphical and his reality storey;level is very keen. need hundreds of year make nge-"render" this film on my compouter.... Hehehe.
Story road;street started with a period of/to newest and then flashback to assorted sequence the event where governmental actually USA have known of this thing but not yet had the resolving to the kejadian2 this.
Solidarity between Michael Bay which is champion in film action ( The Rock, Bad Boys I & II, Armageddon) with Stephen Spielberg ( who is don't know Spielberg?) yield solidarity able to be spelled out members respect by its is separate. Many adegan2 barrel of fun, touch, edukasional, recognition of technology and human which is letter and implicit in this film capable to make this film to look on the most exciting as far as i know.(The most entertaining movies)

Hanya ada di Sengkang

Jenis angkutan penumpang saat ini yang sering kita lihat adalah Mikrolet, Taksi, Bus Mini, Bus AC besar dll. Masing-masing banyak terlihat di dekat rumah kiat, di jalan2 raya. Hal ini sudah lumrah.

Pernahkah anda melihat angkutan kota model Datsun? model penumpang naik atau turun lewat bagian belakang, ruang Supir dan Penumpang dipisahkan dinding besi tipis. Waktu saya kecil (sekitar tahun 4-6 tahun) Mobil Angkutan seperti ini masih sering dijumpai.

Sepertinya angkutan ini hanya ada di Kab Wajo - kota Sengkang. Soalnya selama ini kalo saya jalan ke daerah belum pernah melihat angkutan seperti ini di tempat lain.

The missing manual book ....

Every purchase of electronic goods, electrical mesin2 glassware booknya manual is always included. It is expected that with the manual book everyone can understand the workings of goods TSB. Including an easy way to handle troubleshooting tool if any problems arise from its use.
But have we ever think that, all maternity hospitals throughout the world does not include a manual book how to understand the baby? Take care of him when he was school? Raise it with the best education. I am saying this Book Manual is missing.
Likewise with our students. rarely do we have an understanding of what is desired by the students and how we handle it. What happens now is we actually Teachers often want to be understood. If there are students who do not want to understand would be punished. Though it was supposed to be objects rather than their students or even teachers but Mata lesson.
So, Have we found the missing manual book?

Writing a blog in english ..? why not!

Writing a blog in English as my biggest challenge in the coming months. which obviously will spend 2 times more than using language. Really hard to write it? it was really hard to learn English? let alone write in English about the World Information Technology?
The answer is EASY if you've been writing, had learned English and continue to read the development of ICT within and outside the country. HARD it is now beginning to learn English as he passed the price-to-day by continuing to write and read.
from my experience to start it all Very Serious, possibly together to hear when you learn to drive a car. Initially difficult, need a few weeks until benar2 could go down to the street. but after that, because it was used to drive the car into the crowd and the narrow jalan2 no longer difficult.
So it is with writing. take time, but believe it .. If all of these lived with consistent, the results would be visible.  whatever it is, berapaun time required, in the end your intentions will be reached ... hopefully ...

Cheapest mobile Internet connection?

I happen to already use the access via Starone last approximately four months. For prepaid users as far as I charge the most expensive ... Just 0.9 / cl Volume calculations are only based on the Base, pulse based on how much traffic was interrupted for an online download.
Cheapest fare was originally that interest me to try to access the internet. I select the package 1 GB per month to Rp. 150rb postpaid. Fairly cheaper than 3.5G subscriptions.  Nowadays only slow connections, often 1-2 full days can not connect at all. I finally closed late last year and currently StarOne I switch to using Indosat HSDPA.
Internet connection is much more stable, these last two weeks happened to me around in some districts, had tried in Bone, Wajo, Barru laptop. I can connect to the internet as well. If it's good out of town often try Indosat 3G prices are not much different from the CDMA Starone, rb 180 1GB per month, the excess is subject to 0.5 / kb.

The second book is more specific

The second book was published more specific memabahas about Component (called PHPNuke Module) some powerful components that are not contained in the standard package Mambo discussed thoroughly.

Make a book to be quite an impressive experience. far more difficult than making an article for a magazine or newspaper. far longer than write a paper; o)

mengigat if the process .. hm many steps that must be passed. publishers only accept manuscripts that interesting. not in the market (if there is already have to have an advantage over other books), can be directly used by readers. Another step is to wait a long queue of printing. booked this will take about nine months since the script paid until later in the bookstore.

The struggle has not quite got here. in front had to wait a few ideas to make a more 'difficult'. TEAMS which may involve my form ... pray for ya ......

Mambo CMS Book was Released

Being a writer of books became my desire since the last three years. maybe because I was a big environment of academia, many involved in the discussions about IT in campus organizations, to build a computer club (forum-dcc@yahoogorups.com), worked at several national companies in the last part of the EDP and became a lecturer at several universities IT.

This desire is finally a reality after I get the opportunity from one of the largest book publishers in jakarta. Year 2003 when it was no big change in the technique of making website. from static to dynamic, from techniques that require programming expertise into easy-to-use-only with a few clicks and a bit of technical knowledge, websites can already formed and terpublish on the internet.

happened at that time there has been no book that discusses the Mambo CMS and there are opportunities from the publisher to make this a reality. finally after a long penance, the first book published and can be found at the nearest tokobuku Gramedia. The next challenge to make the books 2, 3 etc ...

Assessing Semester Exams

As a lecturer, it is a headache enough when checking students' semester examination. many methods that are usually used to determine the final value of the student subjects. lecturer at the initial meeting usually offer a learning contract in the form of assessment components attendance, assignments, mid semester and final exams. There are only judging from the mid and final exam without a care of his attendance. There is also the rate of major tasks, responses, etc. Lab exam.
so can any real value there that students take an average distribution. This means that in a class taken the lowest and highest values and then take the benchmarks with the lowest E value and the highest value of A. This model is less favored by students. Happen what ever there must be a valuable error. value of the benchmark model numbers 000-100 are usually preferred.
there are no standard benchmarks are the same perception of all the lecturers to give a rating. eg lecturer lecturer A and B may give a different value on a single exam students. Anyone have different experiences ...?

See, hear, read, write and pass

The above title when she first heard it made me think long enough. its TRUE, all this time we might just see it, hear it, read it without ever writing more than anything else to disclose.
we often see things, hear things, reading may have started slightly decreased, and then to write down what we see and hear when you are still a few among the many intellectuals in this country.
Delivering what is written, this is probably the highest stage of the process of self-actualization. and fewer and fewer among the intellectuals who are willing to spend a little time to convey what is heard, seen and written down.
Keep the process .....

Best Quality of Service, mungkinkah…?

Seandainya ada mesin yang mampu mengubah perilaku orang dalam sesaat, mungkin stress dapat ditekan sampai pada titik yang paling rendah, mungkin sudah tidak perlu lagi pelatihan Service Excellence, dan hidup akan selalu terasa tenang dan tentram. Kenyataannya perilaku tidak dapat dengan mudah berubah, apalagi menyesuaikan dengan keinginan setiap orang

Dari hari ke hari kita sering melakukan aktifitas kerja, bertemu dengan banyak orang, membayar rekening air, mengurus pembuatan SIM, kadang juga bertanggungjawab membayar telepon rumah diloket terdekat dan sering antri saat mendekati batas waktu pembayaran. Workload yang tinggi seperti antrian panjang paling sensitif terhadap ketidaknyamanan pelayanan. Hampir semua perkantoran baik pemerintah maupun swasta memiliki staf yang bertugas di baris depan sebagai frontliner. Lihatlah ketika anda menabung uang di Bank, mendaftar sebagai mahasiswa baru di Perguruan Tinggi, mengurus KTP, membeli tiket pesawat di agen perjalanan sampai mengurus administrasi apa saja di lembaga pemerintahan. Semuanya berhubungan dengan pelayanan. Sialnya, hampir semua pelayanan publik seperti yang disebutkan diatas belum memiliki standarisasi pelayanan yang memuaskan seperti Customer Satisfaction, Quality of Service, Service Excellence, Customer Care, jiwa melayani sepenuh hati dll. Belum lagi jika berbicara mengenai Good Corporate Governance.

Pelayanan yang selama ini kita dapatkan seperti jauh api dari panggang, bahkan yang paling parah jika mereka yang bertugas di bagian pelayanan justru mau dilayani. Kejadiannya justru terbalik, saat ingin mengurus surat menyurat yang membutuhkan tanda tangan pimpinan suatu instansi misalnya, tidak jarang yang sibuk mencari waktu dan tempat adalah kita sendiri yang justru tidak mengerti apa-apa tentang instansi tersebut. Belum lagi omelan bahkan marahan jika ada hal yang mereka anggap salah. Benar-benar bukan pelayanan yang kita dapat melainkan sumpah serapah, omelan, juga tidak jarang mereka malah asik ngobrol di telepon atau bergosip saat banyak yang membutuhkan informasi.

Fenomena ini sudah sering kita lihat sehari-hari, omelan dan sumpah serapah masih sering kita dengar, hal yang cukup luar biasa jika kita bisa mendapat frontliner yang tersenyum. Mungkin hal ini sudah menjadi kebiasaan bagi mereka yang tidak mendapat teguran dari atasannya, atau belum ada pelatihan berkesinambungan tentang bagaimana melayani klien dengan lebih baik.

Bagian pelayanan ini bisa saja menjadi cemin tentang atmosfir hubungan komunikasi intern suatu perusahaan atau instansi. Makin tinggi tingkat stress pekerjaan tertentu umumnya terbawa sampai ke bagian pelayanan di depan dan ini berpengaruh langsung terhadap konsumen, Brand Image yang dibentuk akhirnya dengan mudah melekat. Jika bagian pelayanan memberikan citra positif, otomatis bagian lain dibelakang perusahaannya akan terbantu , jika memberi citra negatif maka brand image yang dibangun tentu membuat klien tidak betah berlama-lama di perusahaan itu.

Seberapa besar kepedulian terhadap klien? (dalam hal ini klien adalah orang yang berhubungan langsung dengan bagian pelayanan). Tanpa diukur dengan hitungan matematispun kita sudah bisa menduga-duga bahkan banyak yang langsung mengambil kesimpulan bahwa pelayanan sektor publik di makassar masih belum memuaskan. Kepedulian terhadap klien ini baru menyinggung tentang sikap(attitude). Belum lagi fasilitas pendukung seperti sambugan telepon, alat tulis, name tag, data sampai sistem informasi (Customer Relationship Management).

Sebenarnya hal-hal diatas dapat diubah, terutama sikap yang digambarkan para staff pelayanan kepada orang luar. Ambil contoh yang paling mudah, lihatlah salesman yang kita sering jumpai di mall-mall atau yang mendatangi kita di kantor. Lihat juga penyiar radio saat menerima telepon penggemarnya, juga dokter yang melayani pasiennya. Selalu ada senyum mengembang di sana, selalu mendengar dengan penuh perhatian dan empati.

Kembali tentang perubahan sikap. Bagaimana melakukannya? Bagaimana menyatukan persepsi mereka semua? Bagaimana mengubah paradigma berfikir menjadi jiwa menerima dan melayani?… Dalam manajemen modern dikenal konsep-konsep baru tentang pelayanan. Konsep ini sebenarnya tidak terlalu baru, namun belum dikenal luas oleh sebagian lapisan masyarakat.

Salah satu konsep yang cukup populer adalah Quality of Service. Pengertian sederhananya adalah sikap ramah dan sopan kepada pelanggan. Lebih jauh Quality of Service dipahami sebagai nilai (value) yang diterima para klien melalui pemenuhan kebutuhan dan bahkan melampaui harapan. Nilai tersebut tercermin dalam bentuk interaksi komunikasi yang menyenangkan (ramah, sopan, selalu menolong, terampil dll), proses yang cepat, ringkas, sederhana dan nyaman. Semua hal ini dapat meningkatkan mutu pelayanan.

Jika sikap ini dapat dijaga dan berlanjut terus, lambat laun akan tercipta ikatan emosional yang kuat, dapat membentuk persepsi yang positif terhadap lembaga. Ambil contoh hubungan baik antara Taxi Blue Bird (BB) dengan penumpangnya (di jakarta) dijadikan sebagai salah satu business objective mereka. BB selalu melihat penumpangnya sebagai para duta (Customers as Ambassador). Disadari atau tidak para klien dan relasi tersebut akan mewakili lembaga di masyarakat untuk berbicara segala hal tentang lembaga tersebut.

Indikator sederhananya dapat digambarkan pada petugas pelayanan yang ramah, senyum, cepat tanggap, berbicara dengan suara yang jelas, memberi penjelasan yang mudah dipahami, menjaga kontak mata dan bahasa tubuh, mengucapkan terima kasih dan menawarkan bantuan. Contoh seluruh indikator ini terdapat pada pelayanan Rumah Sakit, klien yang tidak lain adalah pasien dan kerabat pasien membutuhkan suasana psikologis yang menyenangkan bukan menegangkan. Suasana yang nyaman ini dapat membuat pasien merasa tenang bahkan dapat membantu proses penyembuhan.

Balik pada indikator tadi, Bagaimana mengetahui tingkat pelayanan yang memuaskan klien dan pasien? Apa ukurannya? In advance, ukuran ini dapat ditemukan pada beberapa konsep Manajemen Mutu dimana setiap tindakan dan langkah kerja memiliki Standar Operational Procedure (SOP). Setiap langkah kerja petugas pelayanan berpedoman pada prosedur standar yang baku. Hal ini penting untuk mengukur langkah yang diambil oleh petugas pelayanan agar tidak menyimpang dari prosedur standar. Biasanya langkah kerja memiliki dokumen isian yang dimungkinkan untuk mencatat apa yang pertugas pelayanan kerjakan dan mengerjakan apa yang mereka catat. Dalam periode tertentu idealnya dibuat audit manajemen untuk memperbaiki sistem agar menjadi lebih baik. Jika hal ini dikerjakan terus menerus tidak mustahil pasien rumah sakit akan menjadi senang dan cepat sembuh.

Meskipun sistem pelayanan yang semakin profesional selalu membutuhkan biaya yang semakin tinggi. Bukanlah halangan untuk beramai-ramai memberikan layanan yang lebih baik kepada klien seperti kita-kita ini yang sering melihat sikap dan perlakuan yang jauh dari sikap melayani yang baik. Biaya bukanlah hambatan dan profesionalisme petugas pelayanan dapat melakukannya minimal memberi senyuman, bukankah senyum adalah ibadah?

Pertanyaannya, mampukah kita membangun jiwa melayani mulai dari diri kita sendiri?

Know More Content Management System

The term Content Management System (CMS) is currently a lot of mention of practitioners in the world of Web Design. This system pretty much help determine the location of the job as news positions, add or subtract features, design a web layout to fill the articles and news. Previously, building websites almost always rely on just one or two people doing everything from designing the layout design, coding programs to fill the website with information. CMS is already no longer need to think things through. Website owners can focus on just thinking about it. Add and manage website content can be done by anyone authorized by the Administrator, CMS can be used even by people who do not quite understand the technical programming. Add, change or delete the contents of the website directly can be done without typing the script programming, website content changes can be made via the Internet easily, quickly and without installing any software or have technical competence of certain programming languages. This means that the problems faced by webmasters as one by one to enter or change the contents of permitaan owner of the website is no longer needed.

Makassar IT writer, how are you?

Arguably the world's current Information Technology is like a flow of blood in the body that reaches almost every inch of the body. Almost every educational institution, local government offices, private companies even though the bakery has a computer. On the other hand a lot of national media related to Information Technology such as Chip, NeoTek, Computer Info, ComputerEasy, Tabloid PCplus, Linux info, PCMild, PCMedia, Telset, Komputek, Koran Tempo, Bisnis Indonesia, Republika, Jakarta Post and many more. Besides a few book publishers who focus on Information Technology as Elex Press, Dian Rakyat, Scholastic, Andi Publishing, Informatics Bandung. Not to mention online media such as tempointeraktif.com, detik.com, kompas.com, astaga.com ready to receive papers and articles.
Unfortunately the media that so many writers have not proportional to the number of Information Technology in Indonesia, especially in Makassar. Almost no writer of books / articles that Information Technology based in South Sulawesi. This impact on the invasion of authors writing books that are outside environments and culturally relative wind gave birth interests write a book / article. Rarely do we see people who spend much of her time to writing and writing course. Our culture has not reached it, local governments are still trying to raise public enthusiasm for the avid reader. True, our nation has not been too fond of reading books written especially for IT. Our nation is more like talking, debating and yelling may even fight - a few examples of the behavior of political elites to student demonstrations where - where.

mastering a programming language...

If you often walk into a bookstore and stopped by the rack must be Computer you will see a variety of programming books. At most you'll see VB.NET, ASP.NET, Visual FoxPro, Delphi, C #, PHP, Oracle, etc.. Curiosity made us try all things. Yet to master a language-even hard for mercy. Perhaps because of our desperation to find some hard questions jawabannya.Komunitas Interested particular programming language are usually gathered in a Mailing List. each mailing list usually have a few experts or people with experience. But even though we've selected one programming language and join a discussion forum, there is still just a desire to learn another language.
