Open Office

I've been using Microsoft Office since ages ago...It really helps me a lot in doing my work and i never thought that i will use another program beside Microsoft Office. I was wrong!

Few months ago i browsed the net and i found one interesting software : OPEN OFFICE. It is a freeware, it means that we can download and install it in our PC or Notebook for FREE... yes FREE! Open Office is a similar program to Microsoft Office.

There are:

Text Document which is similar to Microsoft Word

Spreadsheet which is similar to Microsoft Excel

Presentation which is similar to Power Point

There are also other programs like Drawing, Formula, and Database. We can use them as what we need.

I wanna show you the display of Open Office when we open it for the first time. There you can see the option of what kind of program that we wanna use.

Like i have mention to you earlier, Text Document which is similar to Microsoft Word

Spreadsheet which is similar to Microsoft Excel


Presentation which is similar to Power Point

If you like to try to use Open Office, here's the link to download it.

Google Earth

I just tried google earth and i found it very interesting... amazing!!! I never use it before and i thought it would be difficult for me to try but i was WRONG!

When we open google earth, it display sidebar menu (consist of title bars: Find/Search, Place, Layer) on the left side and globe picture on the right side. We can turn around the globe picture just like on the 3D globe so we can see the earth rolling. I can find my country, my city, my address, and my home (the roof top of my home).

In the first attempt that i did, i look for my country from the globe picture in Google Earth

Then i zoom it to see in more detail to see my country and the neighboring ones

Then i look for Jakarta and zoom it again (it is more spesific to the place where i live) and... voilla....

WOW... i can feel the experience of "being a bird" that fly up in the sky. Just like a kid with a new toy!

Those of you who would like to try to install Google Earth and use it find a place or whatever, here is the link to download it :

Google Earth 5.0.11337.1968

Indonesian Election 2009

OMG... as an Indonesian, yesterday, i didn't go to TPS (Tempat Pemungutan Suara / a place to elect) because my name was not registered. What was wrong??? i never have any intention to be GOLPUT (intention not to vote/give my voice on the election day). The bureaucracy IS BAD!!!

I watched the news that in Madura around 3000 people were not registered (only 2000 were registered on the election day - it means more than half of the elector were not registered!). The inconveniency was not in Java only but also all over Indonesia. Hehehe.. it's funny! Whether KPU (Komisi Pemilihan Umum / The institution which held and arrange the election) worked well and did its best or NOT. Why all the mess happened? Do they need more time to prepare the election?

As the citizen of Indonesia i feel bad and not comfortable with all the situation especially i can't give my voice to this country! KPU took my right to vote!

Jews of Indonesia

I browsed the net and i found out many people talk about Israel, war, etc... like war is never ending! then i read some blogs and the the bloggers wrote about jewish / judaism / yahudi. I could say that some people could not diferentiate between jewish and zionist. From what i know, Jews/Jewish/Judaism/Yahudi is related to a religion (Torah religion) but Zionism is part of politic (related to the build of Israel as a sovereign state). Many Jewish don't like with the idea of Zionism and not all Zionist are Jewish. (correct me if i am wrong!).

And then come to my curiousity, is there any Jewish in Indonesia? because i know that there are jewish in Iran. Iran and Indonesia is almost the same. Majority of our population are Moslem. But the different is that Iran is using Sharia as the basic law and Indonesia is not using it. (Correct me again if i am wrong :) ) I found out that there is Beth Hashem, a synagogue (jewish temple) in Surabaya.. interesting! see, jewish community is exist in this land.

I googled on the topic of jews of indonesia and i got this link :

Tempo Dulu Foundation in Israel.

Jews of Indonesia, The Untold Story

These people are Jewish who come to Netherlands Indisch (Indonesia) from Europe and Iraq. Most of them were born and raised in Indonesia (Sumatra, Kalimantan, and Java) and they were forced to leave Indonesia by the situation which was very bad (World War II). Now they are known as Jewish Dutch Community in Israel. They do regular meeting (they called it as Kumpulan) and in the Kumpulan they share memories about their childhood in Indonesia, share knowledge about Indonesian language, culture, food, etc. ... interesting again!

Sierra Wireless Aircard 881U, a 3G/HSDPA USB modem, and Indosat IM2 broom xtra

Today i bought Sierra Wireless Aircard 881U, a 3G/HSDPA USB modem, and Indosat IM2 broom xtra (prepaid unlimited internet access) at Bintang Raya store in Cempaka Mas Jakarta. Thanx to my brother, finally he can convince me to use HSDPA modem... (he is a real marketer tho!!!)

Eventho my bro told me to use HSDPA USB modem since ages (heheheh) but i can't just buy it like that, i have to make sure that the modem is what i really need. Usually i used my CDMA mobile phone (Samsung S179) + Starone to connect to the internet and so far there is NO PROBLEM (well no significant problem) at all except that i have to reload the credit balance everytime i want to surf the net and it is impractical for me!

I searched in the net about HSDPA modem and what kind of card that i have to use with it and after i analyzed all the potential modems and cards, i chose SIERRA WIRELESS AIRCARD 881U + IM2 BROOM XTRA (UNLIMITED)..... yea yea yea once again thanxxx to my bro! I hope in the future i won't find any problems with it. Well let's see.......
