It has been some time since the last post. I’m so damn busy about things. A lot of good and bad things happen in this past two months. Never mind the bad things, but I would like to share the good things. LOL
Last month, I bought a notebook by credit, a MSI GX633. This notebook is made for gamer, so should work fine for designing job and of course, for drawing and even better for programming. My old Pentium 4 PC is so slow when it comes to run an IDE, such as Aptana and Netbeans, and even worse when I’m drawing, and it lags a lot when I run many browsers (usually 3 version of Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox and Opera) together, IDE and a graphic software. LOL. To make up with it, I used Linux, so at least, I got a better performance than I was on Windows XP. Now, I can run Windows 7 pretty well, have a lot of windows opened together, and still work fine without lag.
Now, 2009 has ended and welcome to 2010! Happy new year for everyone.
For me, 2009 is a turnaround year. This is the first year I experienced working as a freelancer and as the result, it was a very good beginning. Now 2010 has come, I will try to do better this year.
Unfortunately, we have a sad news just before new year. That is the dead of Indonesia former president, KH. Abdurrahman Wahid or also known as Gus Dur. He was one of the best president ever and the one that gave us a change in our life, by not differentiate everyone, whatever the race and religion. I feel deeply sorry for him and his family, also a deep thanks to him.
Linux geeks must be know about the new OS from Google for quite a time. Since it was announced back in July, it began to attract attention from many people, including me. Finally, Google show how the OS is operating. I could said it is basically a Chrome browser that is made into an OS, instead a full usable OS for everyday work. Let’s take a look on the video.
The above picture is the oDesk Prepaid Debit MasterCard that is powered by Payoneer. As you might know already, Payoneer offered a prepaid debit card for every member of its partner company. I got mine from oDesk. Here is my personal experience for using this card and also there is some comparison with Paypal regarding the fees.
Yesterday, I finally received my oDesk Debit MasterCard. It takes approximately 3 weeks from approval into arrival. FYI, I got my card approved in 4 days after registration and it sended through regular mail. Once it is arrived, I activate the card immediately and withdraw my remaining oDesk balance into the card. I was withdrawing $50 into the card.
