It's hard to write good English

For me, write good English is very hard. English is not my first language, so when I write this blog in English, oxford dictionary will be my best friend. But the grammar, I can't check with this dictionary. Sometimes I ask to my wife, and if there are sponsor post, wife will be my editor.

But this limitation never make me give up. I must practice and practice. So if there are some bad grammar or structure or some incorrect spelling, please give me some suggestion, or leave some comment, and I will try to post about your blog. And if I leave some comment at your blog, please forgive me for my bad grammar, spelling or vocabulary. Please smile if you found it, just thinking simple.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

First time, I thought Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) was a repetitive stress injury stemming from overuse of the hands, wrists and fingers. For example spending long hours at the computer keyboard or mouse. But a recent study from Harvard casts doubt on this notion and suggests that most people who develop CTS are genetically predisposed to do so, perhaps because of the structure of their hands and wrists.

The conventional treatment for CTS is taking a rest the affected hand, non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, ice packs and oral prednisone or injections of lidocaine into the wrist. For quick relief, rub on arnica gel and wrap ice packs around your wrists for five minutes every few hours to ease the pain and inflammation. But this treatment will limit your activity or make you uncomfort.

Waiting Sunset on Tanjung Pinang

After read Bradley comment on "What Would Be your Perfect Day?" , suddenly I remember my January travel on Tanjung Pinang. The day after our project to Install Digital Language Laboratory, our team gone to beach near hotel. We waited sunset. With my poket camera (Samsung Digimax A40) captured this moment.

This picture are 2 of 7 which I upload on Flickr with tag Tanjung. Sorry I am just an amateur on photography.

What Would Be your Perfect Day?

I got Spark from Another Day Of Life, What would be your prefect day?, this make me think for a while, but I keep Thinking Simple. The birth of my second baby would be my perfect day. Now I am waiting my second baby, may be 3 next month.

When My first son, Theophilus, born. That's amazing to know how our baby born. When I saw this moment, when I hear our baby cry or the first time, when I saw his smile. That is the perfect day. And I will wait that moment again, for my second baby.

To prepare that perfect day, we are spend our time, and money to searching baby name, prepare the stuff, baby clothes, and anythings which should be prepare.

What would be your perfect day?

If you remember my previous post, "The Strength of Social Network", about the power of SocialSpark as social network you will find the power of SocialSpark. The power are Spark, Monetize, Connections Spark Power will make you never blank in ideas, cause other blogger will supply your ideas. Monetize Power, advertisers will give you opportunities to promote their products, so you can get money for your post. Connections Power, You will have new friends, new connections, new visitor for your blog. Sometimes, you will find real friends rather that virtual friends, whom supports each other.

Today my wife join SocialSpark, because SocialSpark is great for mommy bloggers. That's why most of the SocialSpark member are mommy bloggers. Sometimes as mommy, she fell boring because her activity are taking care our son (9th mouth), and the other mommy activity. I told to my wife "If you fell boring you could blogging to reduce it, or join with some community." I recommended her to join with SocialSpark because I know that there are many mommy bloggers on this community. So she can share about parenting or read some one blog about parenting. Yea Now She is join SocialSpark, and I hope she find some friend to share each other about their activity.

If you are a mommy blogger also, you should join with this community. While you raise your children(s), you earn some money from your blogging activity. It's time for mommy bloggers increase your household income with join SocialSpark community, and find other mommy blogger to share each other or just gossip.

Re-Prop for all my friends at SocialSpark

After SocialSpark reset all props on all bloggers profile and blogs, I need some hard work to re-prop again all my friends. My friends still 147 but it need hard work to me. Imagine "The Mom with brownies" which had 4869 friends, and in top props ranking, absolutely she felt hurt. Response to her voice, and I want to say this real world, and this reality, not virtual. And I agree with her voice It's hurt. But the disaster not only for bad people also for good people. It's not only for spammer also for ethical blogger. Keep your spirit, and we will support each other.

It's just like Google PR drop on most PPP blogger, and BenSpark create GoogleIsNotGod blog. I hope the Mother of SocialSpark doesn't create SocialSparkIsNotGod blog.

Now, this time to re-prop my friends again. And I will give them prop or drop. May be they don't know who gave the prop. And I will start form my old friends, because they should have priority.

This will be a long day. Huh .....
Let's start with my first friend, Ted.

How important network security for your business?

As an asp.net programmer, and an IT engineer at a Small Business, sometimes I must setting our network and make our network in office running well.

Yesterday, at my office, on administration computer suddenly restart, and on the screen notify there are spyware on that computer.According to
my experience, sometimes the virus it's self that told for virus notification, except the anti-virus.

When I check the application at event viewer in past day, I found some error message when computer running an application. So i suggest that file cause the problem. Then I goto registry file with regedit command, and move to HKCU-Software-Microsoft-Windows-CurrentVersion-Run,
and found a file that suspicious. After update Anti-virus and scan yea there is a backdoor file on this computer. Then suddenly our anti-virus send notification that our suspicious file that we found in registry file need Internet access. So I suggest that file is the virus. Then I go to location of that file (Windows/System32/lphdcn8nj0e561.exe) and try to delete, but I can't delete that file. I though "It's must in save mode". So I delete that file on save mode.

But the problem still happen I must correction some registry which changed by virus. I repair registry to process display property because desktop and screen server tabs gone. After fixed the registry and I found that file run a file called "bluescreen" screen server. Blue screen server act as restart a computer, but this just screen server. The real virus is a backdoor.

That step-step to find virus and how to cure the computer sound complex. We should protect our computer before our computer attacked by some virus or intruder. For protect our computer we need learn about computer security system. We can read some books, participate on learning center or take a certification program.

For more information about computer security you can join with other IT professionals in Cisco learning network, you can browse technical content and connect and share insights, opinions, and knowledge with the community. To enhance and advance your IT career you can take some Cisco certification program. There are many choice at Cisco certification program. IP Networking (CCENT),Routing and Switching (CCNA),Security, Voice (CCNA Voice),Wireless (CCNA Wireless),Service Provider (CCIP),Design (CCDA).

Sometimes skill and knowledge must proved by certifications. Some one with certification more credible than other without certification. Today certification needed for IT consultant or IT Professional for their career.
And Cisco certification have good reputation they already gift . If you an IT manager which person do you choose some one with certification or without certification if they apply in your office? I will choose person that have Cisco certification. How about you?

As my experience above network security is important for business. Imagine if backdoor or attacker can access some secret file and credential file on or office, how much cost will spend?

Show Last 5 Entrecard Dropper on Blogger

Today, I visit my Entrecard dashboard and I fond there are many dropper in my entrecard dropper inbox. When I want to visit the dropper site, I see that's not effective to click on their card and went to profile, then visit their url. So I need more effective way to visit my entrecard dropper. So I use my entrecard rss dropper inbox ^{Pic 1} url and combine with blogger feed widget. You can see at the sidebar of this site for the result. Now it simple to visit my entrecard dropper.


Pic 1

Step-step to create Last 5 Entrecard Dropper :

1. First time You should right click your rss dropper icon and select copy url.
2. Create new element on your blogger template, and chose feed for widget. Type title for your feed and set max number of feed item.
3. Save your widget.
4. If you need modification of your new widget just drag and drop your widget and save.
   

But the problem is blogger feed widget just show last 5 entrecard dropper, and it's the maximum. Any one can show to me how to maximize the number. Or I should create my own script to this propose.

The strength of social network

Someday I visited Maky's Blog, He post about "Relationships and Online Social Networks : The Value of Sites Like Twitter and Plurk". According to his post the cause of persistent relationships is reciprocity. The more often you call each other, the longer your relationship. The strongest factor determining persistence values was when individuals returned calls to each other. When links were reciprocated, those links had a greater chance of persisting for longer time periods. Also, when an individual´s connections had connections among themselves (when a person´s friends knew each other), his or her own connections lasted longer. Maky used Twitter and Plurk to connect with other people. But I use SocialSpark as my powerfull Social Network.


I chose SocialSpark as my Social Network because in SocialSpark Network include Blogger, Advertisers, and SocialSpark Team. It's not just make connection with other people but you can take opportunity from this Social Network. As a blogger I can earn some money from this blog if my post approved by SocialSpark Team. While I build community and drive traffic from SocialSpark Network, I monetize my blog also, because SocialSpark is open for business.

Why blogger and advertiser chose SocialSpark as their social network or partner,because SocialSpark have code of ethics. It's 100% Audit-able In-Post Disclosure, It's 100% Transparency, It's 100% Real Opinions, It's 100% Search Engine Friendly.

100% Audit-able In-Post Disclosure :
Each sponsored post within the SocialSpark provides the blogger a small snippet of code for a Disclosure Badge. This badge exceeds compliance standards based on FTC and WOMMA guidelines, to protect both you and the advertiser.

100% Transparency :
Every SocialSpark participant is made viewable to the public, they know which bloggers are working with which advertisers on which opportunities, it keep the community honest and open about the transactions.

100% Real Opinions :
Blogger are free to write or say, SocialSpark has no restrictions on how we express our thoughts on an advertiser's product or service. We should pick the opportunities that suit with our blog. If we don't feel right, and can't be honest we should pass on the opportunities. It's for our integrity.

100% Search Engine Friendly :
To protect bloggers and advertisers from search engine penalties based on paid linking, each sponsored link in SocialSpark automatically carries the "no-follow" attribute so as not to affect search engine rankings.

On SocialSpark Network there are three option for the opportunities. Sponsored Post, Blog Sponsorship, and Spark. Sponsored Post are opportunities for blogger to post about advertisers requirement and description. Blog Sponsorship are opportunities from advertisers which be sponsor for your blog. Spark are free opportunities that serve as ideas for blog posts, it are utilized primarily by Blogger.

Choosing Stylish Eyeglass Frames

When I looked at eyeglass frames, the important things should match with my criteria is a wide range of available colors, durability, lightness on my face,uniqueness, and a good price.

Finding eyeglasses with the qualities that are most important to you is as simple as choosing a frame material. There are two most popular frames material, plastic and metal. Each one comes with its own unique set of strengths, that makes it distinct.

Today I search information about stylish prescription glasses online and I found zennioptical.com. I found huge selection of frames, with single vision lens, sunsensor (potochromic)lens, tinted suglasses lens, bifocal lens and progressive lens. I surprise about the price they offer, "Complete Single Vision Eyeglasses starting at $8.00". "It's low prices", I thought. Until I found the secret to Zenni’s Low Prices, they sell only their own manufactured frames direct to the customer, with no middlemen and virtually no advertising budget.

Thinking Simple was Approved by payperpost.com

Today I am very happy. Why?

Because Thinking Simple was approved by payperpost.com. I believe that every blogger who join with payperpost.com will always wait for this moment.

Someday I visited my friend's blog which talked about PPP and he had recommended me to join, "You must join to this program, because you are being paid to blog on what you enjoy blogging. That is just like earning money while doing what you like to do." he said.

Then I searched on wiki about payperpost. According to wiki, PayPerPost (PPP) is a website which helps content creators such as bloggers, videographers, podcasters and photographers find advertisers willing to sponsor specific content. The advertisers create opportunities ("opps") that describe the content they are looking for (e.g. feedback, reviews, buzz, creative, video). The bloggers (sometimes called "Posties") then choose opportunities in their area of interest.

Based on the information from my friend and wiki, I decided to join this program as blogger. After I signed up to payperpost program, I submitted my blog and looked forward an approval. You can join as advertiser on payperpost blog network also.

Payperpost concept is pretty simple - blogger writes posts linking to an advertiser website, fitting within the advertisers guidelines for the post, and once the post has been live for 30 days, the blogger gets paid. Payperpost.com simply act as an intermediary among the blogger and the advertiser.

English is not my native language, so I love this program because I can improve my English spelling and grammar. Sometimes when my grammar and spelling is wrong, Payperpost team will give me a notification. So I have to correct my post.

I think payperpost.com is the best PPP provider for both bloggers or advertisers, because their team will manually check bloggers post. So you have to decide to join payperpost blog network.

In payperpost blog network , advertisers can promote their web site, product, service or company through the PayPerPost network of over 50,000 independent bloggers. Connect with bloggers to create buzz, build traffic, get product feedback, gain links, syndicate content and much more. Payperpost provides 3 products for advertiser, PayPerPost Marketplace, PayPerPost Direct, PayPerPost Ecosphere.
