Ow .. what a surprise, Quite a lot of visitors came to my blog since yesterday from Themehybrid.com, wondering what’s going on.. then I visited the referrer url and see that my site has been added as a new showcase at Themehybrid.com, thank you Justin ..

For those who didn’t know yet what Showcase at Themehybrid.com is, Justin as the themes author, is displaying the modified themes to show up what the mess users did to those themes he had created )  … joke !

You might not fully understand what’s my blog content’s all about because mostly are in Bahasa, but thank you for visiting anyway ..

Well.. I love Structure Theme since it was born and fyi, I am still using its first version, because atau I like the three sidebars homepage appearance , though I haven’t seen this feature in new version (am I right ? ) and now still struggling to figure out how I can manage the single post and other pages sidebar that shows different widgets because the 1st version didn’t have it.

I’m too lazy doing upgrade with the latest version because I make a lot css modification here ) and I’m not quite expert to start it again … maybe I have to do so as Justin already developed it with Child Themes.

I love Options Themes too, and already installed it on my other blogs..

I just want to say how I support those boys that I care and close to me, I’ll pray and hope they will have some great moment while playing with Busby SEO Test key phrase on Google playground.

I don’t even think why Busby SEO Test keyword they choose to play, kind a boring words, but what the heaven, I love them and I let them to go out and play for Busby SEO Test on demand, wish they will come back home on time at January 5, 2009.

I know, those boys are tuff and will win the competition or on the top ten list, at least.

… I shouldn’t too worry

Duh berita-berita di TV akhir-akhir ini bikin dejavu banget deh .. sebenernya dah berusaha lupa, cuma jadi malah kayak diungkapkan.

Aku concern banget sama perkembangan anakku dan kalau bisa apa-apa yang ngga enak dan pernah terjadi pas aku kecil dulu ngga terjadi pada dia ..

Berita tentang Guru yang mukul muridnya sekarang ini santer banget ya … yang di SDN Pakis 1 Banyuwangi awal Agustus, di Jember minggu lalu, terus yang baru aku tonton tadi di TV pas si anak baru diliput jadi lumpuh gara-gara di tampar gurunya, bukan cuma anak SMP tapi anak SD pun kena hadiah bogem dari gurunya.

Dulu sekali, pas aku masih SD di SD St. Yacobus Ujung Pandang (sekarang Makassar) guru wali aku itu bener-bener sudah siapkan cambuk rotan dan dengan menyeringai (kalau aku gambarkan sebagai Tom si Kucing di film kartun) dan mata berkilat-kilat senang jika ada muridnya yang salah nulis, bukan .. bukan salah hitung atau salah jawab .. tapi cuma ‘salah’ (menurut beliau) menuliskan angka 8 .. dia maunya angka 8 seperti font Arial ini yang meliuk liuk seperti kalau kita tes bikin SIM di kantor Polisi, yang bikin angka 8 macem bulatan atas bawah langsung deh kena panasnya rotan di punggung, oya .. nama guruku ini pak Marcus … masih ada ga ya beliau ..

Hebat lagi pas di SMP, aku di SMP Frater Ujung Pandang juga, ada yang namanya pak Titus dan pak Paceli … weh mereka suka banget bermain rotan dan kibasan tangan, mungkin dulunya pengen belajar kungfu hanya di daerah itu belum ada Dojo. Pernah ada teman cowok aku yang punggungnya jadi kayak Rambo, belang-belang merah dan mungkin luka setelah dapet kibasan cambuk rotan dari pak Paceli, asli kalo liat aksinya pak Paceli kayak lagi ngebasin kasur yang dijemur di pager aja deh.

btw, ini bukan karena anak itu nakal atau kurang ajar loh, cuma tadinya emang lagi ada pemanasan massal, jadi satu kelas kena semua .. lupa gara-gara apa tapi pasti sepele banget, tapi sialnya si anak matanya natap si guru jadi si guru merasa tertantang seperti Nero, anjing saya kalau dipelototin kucing bisa putus rantainya, nah .. gara-gara itulah si anak dapat extra joss .

beriktu quote yang aku temukan pas Googling nyari info SMP Frater :

Pak Paceli mantan guru kami sempat mengatakan kalau jaman sekarang mendidik anak susah, anak di bentak sedikit saja sudah lapor polisi, padahal jaman kami dulu ditampar pun tidak ada masalah – postingan dari Remiel Blog.

See what I’m talking about ? mereka para guru penghajar kami tidak merasa perbuatannya ‘salah’ karena itulah cara mendidik yang mereka anggap so good dan te o pe begete .. iya ? tidak ? iya atau tidak ? ?

Well, aku ngga bisa melihat kebijakan yang di rasakan Remiel dengan ” saya masih ingat bagaimana kerasnya Pak Nifin dulu mendidik kami bahkan tidak segan-segan menampar, tapi tamparan itulah yang menjadikan kami seperti sekarang ini” .. sorry, walau bukan aku yang kena hajar, cuma susah sekali aku menempatkan posisi kalau saja aku yang menjadi sang guru saat itu, apakah aku bakal marah dan memukul sekejam itu ? apa kalau suamiku tidak memberi aku nafkah bathin selama seminggu atau sebulan aku juga akan melampiaskan klimaks marah ke anak muridku, atau kalau misalnya aku inget beras di rumah udah mulai tipis dan tagihan listrik numpuk 3 bulan aku akan mencak-mencak ke anak didikku yang dengan tidak sengaja mengucapkan kata “beras” atau “listrik” ? .. why you so mad, then ? ..

Aku ngga tau kenapa hal ini bisa didiamkan saja sama kepala sekolah bahkan orang tua murid yang kena pukul itu, soalnya juga ngga cuma 5-10 yang udah merasakan surga dunia berguru kepalang dihajar …padahal cari sekolah jaman dulu sih gampang-gampang aja dan hampir tidak pakai uang sumbangan etc.

eh, ngga taunya sekarang ini masih juga ada yah yang kepengen belajar kungfu seperti those hangman hitman tapi ngga kesampean .. di saat anak-anak sudah kritis banget dan mereka bisa belajar lebih banyak dan lebih cepat daripada saat aku seusia mereka. kata mas Bagus, teman aku, ini merupakan fenomena perubahan yang bila saatnya nanti akan menjadi titik bangkit negara ini… yes, you are right ..

buat guru-guruku, pak Nifin, Pak Paceli, Pak Titus, pak Marcus .. sengaja aku tulis nama-nama anda disini, karena kalau dulu anda punya cambuk, sekarang saya punya blog, dan tentunya tau dong kebebasan bicara udah bukan hal yang aneh jaman sekarang … bukan pencemaran nama baik loh ) .. toh aku yakin sih nama baik anda cuma sedikit yang mengingatnya … God Bless You All.

I’m just thinking about what my child thinks about it ….

Just found this pic thanks to Andika Ferial , bikin inget nostalgia )

A considerable portion of my consulting time has recently revolved around the optmization of corporate blogs (or the addition of blogs to revamped sites). As usual, I find a pattern emerging in the strategies that need attention and the pitfalls that must be avoided. So, rather than charging $400 an hour to give advice on the subject, I thought it would be valuable to share many of the most common pieces of advice here on the blog (business part of Rand fights with open source Rand, but loses, as usual).

There are a number of different types of query you can run at Google, and each one offers valuable information to SEOs. Each type of query is run by prefacing your query with a “search operator”. You may have seen them before, things like allinanchor, allintext etc, but what do these operators actually do, and how can you use them?

To use any of these operators, simply go to Google, enter the operator, and then your search query. Let’s look at them. We will look at a few this week, and then cover the rest next week.
