Take a look at those poor IT and tell me that slavery is non-existence.

Hate is a feeling from your heart that comes when you are in a pitch. A feeling of yours over something that you feel cannot be reached. An overwhelming feeling that comes when suddenly that precious is taken from you. Despair is a state where you stop trying. Love is a feeling of wanting someone, according to others. Heck, how should I know? Pride is a feeling of protecting one's existence. It's a self-defense mechanism from being volatile. Smile is an expression of a heart or a decoration of your wound. It is there to stop people from asking and to play the role of a happy person. Thinking is a result of your processing unit. It's like a ultra mambo jambo mandlebrot equation that it grows exponentially yet at the big scene forms a great painting of life. Afraid is a self-defense mechanism of traumatic people. It is actually a heuristic value to determine what to choose next step. Simply put those value away from equation is insane. What you have to do is work out to find...

This is a reply to Feha in How to Profit comment. I've decide to make it as a new post, since this is a good topic of IT Strategy. Sorry for non IT, some of the terms here you must google it for yourself. Please comment if you disagree or wants to add something, any comment other than SPAM is welcome. --- Yeah, IT does have a tricky part when it comes to justification. But, it is not just FOSS, but also the propetary too. There is no silver bullet to it, as the world also learning. Of course, we are talking about non IT-based company, a company that runs other business than IT that use IT infrastructure. Let's take email infrastructure as an example to understand what I mean. For instance, it is hard to justify an anti-spam solution for a corporate. One might find the equation is to measure the level of spam with and without it. But, that's naive. It would make the anti-spam solution somewhat is under value. Anti-spam companies then again modify the solution to put these: C...

Okay, KDE 4.2 is the reason why I'm trying to convert. Recently, I have been programming with Swing as GUI platform. Yeah, I'm the generation that grew up with Java. But, as we have el cheapo machines and tight budget (yeah, love it when it comes to budgeting that we must think harder), we would reconsider using Java. I have moved to SWT and growing fondly with its ability to embed browser into its platform. Then again, I love to hear about Qt. It manage to have WebKit in their arsenal. It even have the revolution that it would embed in Nokia's device. (Hey, I'm using Sony Ericsson here) It would bring much better new possibilities. Waiting for 4.5 by the way. So, where should I start? C++ is a b*tch that I don't take since programming OpenGL long ago in my Computer Graphics class. I'd prefer plain C than that C++. But, hey, they say stop learning is a dying process. Besides, the toolkit (oh, I mean Qt) has a new editor and also an Eclipse plugin. Enough saying,...

This writting is inspired by [RANT] that being pointed out by [ANTA] To begin with, the meaning of profit is not money (though in the ends it counts). Profit is a net gain that you have after doing something painful. In better term, profit is something that you achieve after you sacrifice. No pain, no gain! Many IT guys/girls out there sprouting bad about FOSS and its gain in the term of competition. They would argue that it lack of common sense and it even have so many choices that it scares people away by having a deep thought of what should be implemented. Yes, the "all I want is to do the job done" argument making FOSS looks like a geek toys than a silver bullet. The only real reason why people would want to move to FOSS is because of legal aspect. They're forced to have a steep learning curve. But, hey, what if there is other reason that you could have when deciding to move into FOSS solution? First, we begin with the misconception of asking: What is your Business Pr...

You could google about the definition of decoupling, [GGL] but let's take it from my perspective. Decoupling is a process to make each part more independent. This is a process that modularize your system. As any algorithm in this world, it has many weaknesses. So, let me summarize it for you: #1 Architecture Overhaul Architecture overhaul can become tricky if it means of changing a big API. Take Linux kernel as an example, each minor release take major interface change that makes specific driver are not compatible. But then again, this argument can be broken by the way of Linux kernel is developed: monolithic. No wonder it can have so many modules tightly coupled. Even so, a proper way of making modularity and system planning, can make architecture overhaul is nothing -- yeah, it still costs you something, e.g. money. Pay attention to intermediary services. It is often what ever changing beneath will not so much cost you, but when you change the way of any subpart communication, it...

Yes, yes, I know it's a post without a body. But, it holds dearly to something. Okay, I forgot not put deep mind tag to it or else people will starts to put thinking about it. Anyway, like an art or any philosophical stand point, one must describe what to tell. Let's begin with a definition of blog. What is a blog? Well, from the definition, obviously blog is an online journal. It's, as the name suggested Web Log, is a collection of personal thought of a person over something. Evenmore as it evolved, it is refined as a collection of writings that have personality on it, even if it is a corporate blog. The different of a blog than a news entry is the mixture of personal feeling in the writing. So, no matter how objective you are, in a blog entry there is an urge to have your personal entry. When we look on the technical note, the first use of blog is a way to capture tacit knowledge and documentized it into external knowledge. It is a way more convinient to capture one's...
