Spreadsheet
Spreadsheet [spreed~shit] adalah salah satu object turunan dari workbook yang merupakan objek turunan dari aplikasi excel. Excel, yang dikembangkan oleh Microsoft ini telah mendapatkan kepopulerannya setelah menyaingi pesaing lamanya si lotus 123. Ah gw masi inget pas make lotus 123 buat ngerjain tugas pas sd, jaman itu DOS masi jaya-jayanya, belum ada windows. Aplikasi office yang lagi ngetrend pas jaman itu:
1. spreadsheet : Lotus 123
2. word processing : Wordstar dan Chi writer
3. presentation : hmm… (ada ga ya?)
singkatnya, M$ Office belum ada tajinya pas jaman itu
terus windows 3.1 datang, menghadirkan konsep baru berkomputer, paket Office suite microsoft mulai datang dan mengancam eksistensi pendahulunya. Mulai dari saat itulah MS Office begitu lekat dalam pikiran setiap pengguna Window$ based computer baik itu yang asli ataupun yang bajakan.
Nah balik lagi ke spreadshit, spread shit berarti menyebarkan kotoran.. ya itu benar, kita bisa menyebarkan kotoran dimana-mana di setiap kertas kerja pada file excel kita.
Bisa menyebarkan dead link, macro-macro berbahaya, ataupun formula-formula tak berujung (circular calculation).
Spread shit adalah hasil dari kemalasan orang kantoran.
Semua hal dicatat dan disimpan dalam sheet sheet yang tersebar, tak beraturan, tak bertujuan, tak berindex yang tidak menggunakan format baku yang sama
Sangking cintanya sama spreadsheetnya, orang2 mengkustom sendiri sheetnya (thanks to MS Excel) sehingga tidak ada yang tau bagaimana cara menggunakannnya selain dirinya.
Hal ini berujung ke “Ow shiit!!” ketika kertas kerja itu diserahkan kepada orang lain
Frustasi!, Depresi! bahkan gangguan kejiwaan bisa terjadi ketika seseorang harus meneruskan kerjaan dengan menggunakan worksheet itu.
Hmm..
Tipping?
Just another ‘no meaning’ thought.
Tip? Have you ever notice about the tipping habits? Based on my PE (personal experience), the amount of tips you give is dependent on:
- How much money you spent for the goods or services. For example, for nice dinner in a fancy restourant, you may have the bill about 300 – 400 thousands, lets say 383.500, but likely you just pay 400.000 and leave (you give 16.500 as tip). The other example, when play billiard, the bill may be 228.000, but you just give the waitress 250.000 and go (22.000 as tip) .But, if you buy ‘Nasi goreng’ (fried rice – red.) for 6.000 – 7.000, you most likely pay 10.000 and you wait for the changes. Another simple example is, when you go by taxi, you tend to pay more than the “argo” or tarriff, if the argo is 23120 you most likely pay 25.000 and do not wait for the changes, BUT, if you go by bus, you even fight to pay 1.500 for the trip.
- Whom you go with. The person beside you also affect the amount of money you spent for tip. If you go alone or just with friends, you tend to wait for changes for every bills you have, but if you go with someone you dating with, you most likely give bigger tips.
- Date. Tip amount also depend on date, which have strong bond to our financial. If it is just after payday, you may give tips generously, but if it is almost pay day, every cents is so valuable, Right?
Hehe.. its just a small thought, what do you think?
Business Rules to Live By
- If you can’t get your work done in the first 24 hours, work nights.
- A pat on the back is only a few centimeters from a kick in the butt.
- Don’t be irreplaceable, if you can’t be replaced, you can’t be promoted.
- It doesn’t matter what you do, it only matters what you say you’ve done and what you’re going to do.
- After any salary raise, you will have less money at the end of the month than you did before.
- You can go anywhere you want if you look serious and carry a clipboard.
- Eat one live toad the first thing in the morning and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day.
- When the bosses talk about improving productivity, they are never talking about themselves.
- If at first you don’t succeed, try again. Then quit. No use being a damn fool about it.
- There will always be beer cans rolling on the floor of your car when the boss asks for a ride home from the office.
- Keep your boss’s boss off your boss’s back.
- Everything can be filed under “miscellaneous.”
- Never delay the ending of a meeting or the beginning of a cocktail hour.
- To err is human, to forgive is not our policy.
- Anyone can do any amount of work provided it isn’t the work he/she is supposed to be doing.
- Important letters that contain no errors will develop errors in the mail.
- If you are good, you will be assigned all the work. If you are really good, you will get out of it.
- You are always doing something marginal when the boss drops by your desk.
- People who go to conferences are the ones who shouldn’t.
- If it wasn’t for the last minute, nothing would get done.
- At work, the authority of a person is inversely proportional to the number of pens that person is carrying.
- When you don’t know what to do, walk fast and look worried.
- Following the rules will not get the job done.
- Getting the job done is no excuse for not following the rules.
- When confronted by a difficult problem you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question, “How would the Lone Ranger handle this?”
- No matter how much you do, you never do enough.
- The last person that quit or was fired will be held responsible for everything that goes wrong.
Right?
Software Ilegal?
Duh…
Microsoft Desak Polisi Segera Razia Software Ilegal

Surabaya, Produsen software terbesar di dunia Microsoft, mendesak kepolisian melakukan razia software bajakan sesegara mungkin. Karena razia itu bertujuan untuk pembelajaran terhadap masyarakat.
“Bukan hanya dilihat dari urgent atau tidak urgent-nya, melainkan melihat proses pembelajaran masyarakat” kata General Manager Microsoft Market Development Partner East Java Antonius Agus A. kepada detiksurabaya.com, Senin (25/6/2007).
Diharapkan dengan adanya razia, akan ada proses pembelajaran masyarakat untuk menggunakan software asli. “Harus dimulai razia ini,” pintanya.
Dia menambahkan, waktu razia bukan merupakan kewenangan dari pihaknya. Mengenai waktu, semuanya diserahkan kepada pihak Kepolisian. “Terserah pihak yang berwajib,” tegas Anton.
Anton menuturkan, razia selain mengurangi penggunaan software bajakan, juga merupakan langkah edukatif agar masyarakat mulai menggunakan software asli.
Seperti diketahui, pihak Kepolisian telah melakukan kesepakatan untuk memberantas penggunaan software bajakan. Terutama yang digunakan untuk kepentingan bisnis.

Software Ilegal? Penegakan HAKI? Penting sih, buat memajukan ITnya Indonesia. Coba bayangin kalo ga ada penghargaan terhadap industri software? kalo smua software2 dibajak?
kenapa sih orang-orang pada hobi beli bajakan? Ya iyalah, dengan 25rb bisa beli 1 cd software di ambasador, 35 rb 1 dvd, sedangkan kalo dengan jalan pertemanan cuma perlu beli cd/dvd blank aja. Bandingkan dengan membeli yang original yang harganya bisa ratusan atau jutaan rupiah.
Tapi kalo dipikir pikir sih, kalo kita beli bajakan, brarti kita memperkaya sang pembajak, karena duitnya masuk ke kantong si pembajak, bukan ke si developer.
Kalo begini keadaannya, industri software lokal bisa sekarat. Makanya jarang ada developer commercial yang mengembangkan produk software retail, banyakan ke segmen corporate yang sedikit tapi marginnya besar.
(duh kok kadi bingung ya?? )
Jadi usul saya, mending beli bajakan buat software-software dari perusahaan software besar kayak M$oft, sedangkan software-software lokal beli yang originalnya. Hidup produk lokal!
If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys.
Dear Sir
I am the first of what is likely to be all of the skilled staff to resign from what is likely to be the shell of your company. A combination of directors threatening and blackmailing each other, and the constant bitching of the managing director has forced me to consider my position at this time as being untenable.
An offer of 1 million pounds plus free sex with a page three girl could not convince me to stay with your company. A position of junior goat herder in Mongolia would be a more positive career step, than staying here. What a shame. Our group have worked well, but, yet have been criminally overlooked.
Finally: If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys.
Yours Sincerely,
xxx
I wish, i could write this letter one day
Cyber War
Perang Cyber? Dah kaya di pilem2 aja ah…
Dulunya sih yg kita denger cuma perang antara hacker(cracker) vs sysadmin, hacker vs hacker. Tapi skarang dah negara vs negara, plus dah jadi sperti “tentara cyber” gitu. Dibiayain negara, dikasi fasilitas tercanggih, dilatih dan emang dipake buat kepentingan negara.
Di Amrik sana, ada 25.000 tentara cyber (katanya sih) yg ikut dalam perang elektronik, tugasnya buat dalah untuk mengontrol dunia cyber, khususnya dalam pengawasan sistem komunikasi dan keamanan infrastruktur.
China juga ikutan mendirikan unit perang informasi untuk mengembangkan virus. Tujuannya untuk menyerang sistem jaringan komputer lawan. Cina juga berinvestasi pada sistem serangan balik dan pertahanan atas serangan elektronik termasuk apa yang disebut sebagai umpan sinar infra merah, pemantul dan generator pengecoh.
Namun operasi cyber Cina bisa dideskripsikan sebagai sebuah industri mata-mata yang bertujuan mencuri data-data penting untuk dimanfaatkan dalam mengembangkan teknologi mereka secara lebih cepat.
Terus Indonesia ga ikutan? masa gerilya juga?
tindhihen
Last night I happened to get this nightmare. I really hate being in the hopeless condition when you are awake but you cannot move your body or even say something. In Indonesia, they call it as “ketindihan” or in javanese “tindhihen”. It commonly believed it is demon works. The demon laid upon you to make you petrified even you are ‘awake’. It is a freakin HORROR!! I’m scared, of course.. how could you not scare when you’re awake enough to see and feel but you can not move your body neither say a word. Plus , you may see terrifying things.. such as shadows, white flying things, or even hear scary sounds.
Sudoku Puzzle
Yesterday, my friend introduce me with this addicted tktq site which contains numerous levels of puzzle which you should guess to get higher level. Somehow I pass all the puzzle and then stuck with this darn puzzle, which they called with Sudoku Puzzle. To get the next level, ones must fill the puzzle with “ABCDEFGH” and in Sudoku puzzle rule, which is:
- no letter should be same in one row
- no letter should be same in one column
- no letter should be same in one region
You should be wondering what the hell is Sudoku right?
Happiness Formula (Philosotainment)
In order to be happy, you must be successful in all three of these areas:
1. Relationships
2. Health
3. Income
Realistically, you will only have time to accomplish any two of those goals while bitching about the third. The day isn’t long enough to do them all.
When I see a well-dressed, chubby, 40-something guy in a nice SUV with his family, all happy and laughing, I know he gave up health. He’ll be dead in 10 years. When I see a totally fit person in the gym, I always wonder if he’s a lonely loser or just underemployed. It’s one or the other.
There are rare exceptions. A friend of mine makes a great living by working a few hours per day from his home or his boat. He has a great family life and an ideal body mass index. I expect the universe to smite him any minute. He’s violating some sort of natural law and it’s only a matter of time before things revert to the mean.
Which of the three requirements of happiness are YOU giving up?
