What a surprising today is... One of my maintained blog reach 3rd position in Google from around 26 million site??? Fiuh, never dream about that before :) But it's true. After looking for that rank, I'm asking myself, what I've done to that site? Frankly I never use any magic software to boost up my ranking in Google. Just use ordinary tools, by sumitting in Google, verify site, adding sitemap, thats all, nothing more!
Hmmm.... this is new hope I guest, if I only knew, why Google took me up higher, for your information, my site is listed in 6th page yesterday, and now suddenly appeared in 1 page and 3rd place. If I could do this to my other blog, maybe I'm rich right now, hehehe.....
Still looking the answer of why????

Gadjah Mada University under attacked! This is one of hot topics surrounding GMU right now. Especially they who believe "Asyhadu An Laa Ilaaha Illallahu, Wa Asyhadu Anna Muhammadar Rosuulullah".
As we know, GMU students as they now in active era (17th - 25th years) who begin to think logically and rationally and also start to learn how to interact each other socially. Not surprisingly if we see a lot of community here build by their own emphasis and unite the same interest in one organization, i.e Academics based community, hobby/interest based community, religion community etc.
This community build and developed well here because they have same goals, to develop their intellectual property and of course no vandalism, no brutality and no religion contrary inside.
This year, GMU has one new comer, and this new comer community judged "against law" and "against religion" based. Their member spread from one faculty to another faculty, and they have no different physical attributes with regular people. So if we dont pay attention well, we will not see them.
Just because of friends request, today I interview the "member". And until now I see no thread from his community to us. They just believe what they believe, nothing more! So, like Gus Dur said "let it go... as long as he don't do something against rules and don't make someone else hurted or injured, let it go... "Gitu aja kok repot". Ok Gus, I'll follow you, Just let them believe what they believe! Don't over judged!

Hari ini yasinan diadakan di rumahnya pak Tamsir Rahadi, depan Balai RW. Diikuti oleh bapak-bapak sekitar 25 orang dan kebetulan saya termasuk anggota termuda :). Seperti biasa pak Sofyan membuka acara dengan kalimat pembuka yang tentunya sudah sering kita dengar. Kemudian dilanjutkan dengan membaca surat Yasin dan Ar-Rahman yang dipimpin oleh pak Arsyad Kosasih dan diakhiri dengan doa bersama.
Acara selanjutnya dan yang saya tunggu-tunggu adalah "turunnya" hidangan dari shohibul bayt, hehehe maklum tadi belum sempat makan malam :) Acara makan selesai, kotak infaq diputar dan akhirnya selesai deh
Kejadian yang lucu adalah keluhan si bapak-bapak ini ketika mau bangkit dari duduk lesehnya. Hampir semua mengeluh dan berucap "balung tuo, balung tuo" yang dalam bahasa Indonesia analog dengan "Tulang tua, tulang tua". Hal ini mereka ucapkan karena untuk berdiri dari duduknya selama kurang lebih 1.5 jam membutuhkan tenaga tersendiri. Ibarat mobil sepertinya olinya sudah tidak bekerja dengan sempurna sehingga persendian menjadi kaku. Kontan ucapan spontan dari hampir seluruh bapak-bapak ini yang dibarengi dengan susahnya mereka ketika mau berdiri membuat saya tersenyum kecil dan membayangkan "mungkin 30 tahun lagi saya akan berujar hal yang sama???" :)
Kejadian lucu kedua, yakni Pak Edi yang kebingungan mencari sandalnya ketika hendak pulang. Ada satu sandal tertinggal dan jelas itu bukan punya beliau karena "kekecilan" katanya. Spontan ada bapak yang teriak "Siapa yang sandalnya kegedhean??" Hampir semua bapak-bapak tersebut melihat kaki mereka masing-masing dan bilang "nggak kok" Hanya pak Arsyad yang keliatan senyum-senyum, sepertinya punya beliau tertukar dan benar saja, Sandal Mas Edi tertukar dengan punyanya Pak Arsyad. Herannya pak Arsyad juga gak merasa kalau sandalnya tertukar padahal bukan sandal jepit lho???
Mungkin memang karena sudah berumur, jadi tidak terlalu memperhatikan barang yang biasa dipasang di kaki tersebut.
Kejadian-kejadian lucu dan unik tersebut benar-benar bisa membuat semua yang hadir tertawa lebar dan lepas. Sampai ada yang bilang (pak Puguh), ini benar-benar manjur buat ngilangin stress, gratis pula!
Apakah benar 2 hal itu ada hubungannya?? Yang jelas memang forum-forum yasinan banyak sekali membawa manfaat baik itu kepada ibadah kita pribadi kepada Allah SWT maupun ibadah kita kepada sesama. Silaturahmi memanjangkan umur! Itu benar adanya...
Wallohu 'alam bishshowab

Today I just bought new DVD-RW from Sony Inc. It’s rather cheap now compared the price 1 years ago. Its only $36 or Rp.305.000,00. The decision making process for this “box” actually rather quick and hurry cause I need this to burn my old data which already “eat” my harddisk almost 90%, wow. My computer must be happy with this, cause now he walk like snail, take 15 minutes to finish booting process. (The specs of my computer is PIII 677 MHz, 256 MB RAM, 15 Gb Harddisk, monitor Samsung SyncMaster 450b, CD-ROM 52x and old floppy disk drive from panasonic).

My first target with this DVD-RW is backing up my old data from my computer, you know DVD have capacity more than 4GB. Its a cheap way to backup your data. After that, my second target is generate money (again :) ) with this tools. I want to mastering and remastering my Linux Distribution Collection. This step actually done for reliving my Linux Shop in Yogyakarta Indonesia.

With this hurry and quick decision, I hope I’m not wasting my $36 for something useless, hopefully…. By the way, I already made new writing at my Linux Shop Site, so please visit there and enjoy the ride… cheersss

Today I just bought 2 website related books. The 1st one, titled “Promosi Web & Registrasi Domain (dengan berbagai teknik dan tool) by Jasmadi, the second titled “Berbagai Teknik Mengungkap Web” by Jasmadi too.

This effort aimed to sharpening my knowledge about webmaster wannabe :) I still have a dream become an Internet based business owner in the future. I know that this is not easy, but I don’t want to give up eventhough I don’t have a particular education background.

I’m very happy with self-studied and of course ask for questions in the net.

Wish me luck to passed this journey successfully. The Goals is not everything but the process to achieve the goals is everything.

Tidak seperti blogger, blog provider satu ini (wordpress), membutuhkan usaha “lebih” untuk meng-kustomisasi. “Lebih” di sini karena tutorial untuk wordpress dalam bahasa Indonesia agak jarang.

Begitu buka yahoo.com, top search hari ini salah satunya adalah “father’s day”. Negara kita seingat gw tidak pernah ada perayaan father’s day, iseng ahh coba search di wiki, dan nemu keterangan seperti ini.

Father’s Day is a primarily secular holiday inaugurated in the early 20th century to complement Mother’s Day in celebrating fatherhood and parenting by males, and to honor and commemorate fathers and forefathers. Father’s Day is celebrated on a variety of dates worldwide, and typically involves gift-giving to fathers and family-oriented activities.

Sejarah fathers day di US
United States

In the United States, the first modern Father’s Day celebration was held on July 5, 1908, in Fairmont, West Virginia. [1][2] It was first celebrated as a church service at Williams Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church South, now known as Central United Methodist Church. Grace Golden Clayton, who is believed to have suggested the service to the pastor, is believed to have been inspired to celebrate fathers after the deadly mine explosion in nearby Monongah the prior December. This explosion killed 361 men, many of them fathers and recent immigrants to the United States from Italy. Another possible inspiration for the service was Mother’s Day, which had recently been celebrated for the first time in Grafton, West Virginia, a town about 15 miles away.

Another driving force behind the establishment of the integration of Father’s Day was Mrs. Sonora Smart Dodd, born in Creston, Washington. Her father, the Civil War veteran William Jackson Smart, as a single parent reared his six children in Spokane, Washington. She was inspired by Anna Jarvis’s efforts to establish Mother’s Day. Although she initially suggested June 5, the anniversary of her father’s death, she did not provide the organizers with enough time to make arrangements, and the celebration was deferred to the third Sunday of June. The first June Father’s Day was celebrated on June 19, 1910, in Spokane, WA.

Unofficial support from such figures as William Jennings Bryan was immediate and widespread. President Woodrow Wilson was personally feted by his family in 1916. President Calvin Coolidge recommended it as a national holiday in 1924. In 1966, President Lyndon Johnson made Father’s Day a holiday to be celebrated on the third Sunday of June. The holiday was not officially recognized until 1972, during the presidency of Richard Nixon.

In recent years, retailers have adapted to the holiday by promoting male-oriented gifts such as electronics, tools and greeting cards. Schools and other children’s programs commonly have activities to make Father’s Day gifts.
