A Poem For Computer Users Over 30..



A computer was something on TV
From a science fiction show of note
A window was something you hated to clean
And ram was the cousin of a goat.

Meg was the name of my girlfriend
And gig was a job for the nights
Now they all mean different things
And that really mega bytes.

An application was for employment
A program was a TV show
A cursor used profanity
A keyboard was a piano.

Memory was something that you lost with age
A CD was a bank account
And if you had a 3-in. floppy
You hoped nobody found out.

Compress was something you did to the garbage
Not something you did to a file
And if you unzipped anything in public
You'd be in jail for a while.

Log on was adding wood to the fire
Hard drive was a long trip on the road
A mouse pad was where a mouse lived
And a backup happened to your commode.

Cut you did with a pocket knife
Paste you did with glue
A web was a spider's home
And a virus was the flu.

I guess I'll stick to my pad and paper
And the memory in my head
I hear nobody's been killed in a computer crash
But when it happens they wish they were dead

Gangguan Elektrik..

1992 ~ muda remaja masa ni..sedang mengajar di kelas komputer di KL 1996 ~ sedang pulang dari menikmati buah durian dgn menumpang kereta kawan.. 2003 ~ tidak terlibat..sbb berada di KL...cuma teringat 2 pengalaman '92 & '96 2005 ~ sedang cuba mengecas bateri telefon bimbit.. ingatkan 'power trip' sbb tu.. hwa hwa hwa!!! ...The country's biggest power disruption was in 1992 when the entire Peninsular was in darkness for about 48 hours. It was caused by lightning which damaged the grid in eastern Malaysia, crippling power stations in the peninsula. The incident which occurred on Sept 29 that year, affected 18 million people and caused losses to businesses amounting to RM220 million. The second biggest power breakdown was on Aug 3, 1996 . Dubbed the "Black Friday" because it happened on Friday, it caused "massive chaos" in city centres as it occurred at 5.17pm when most people, especially office workers, were on their way home. Many were caugh...

How to Charge for your Services

Copy from http://www.qassia.com/how-to-charge-for-your-services Are you a freelancer and wondering how to charge for your services? Some of us share their secrets of charging more for less! Please allow me to share my experiences on web development. There are lots of people I am sure would be interested to know the 'market price' or how much to charge for their services. I been setting up websites about 10 years ago, self thought. I am quite a lousy designer but I am quite good at modifying and better still at understanding what client wants. Today I no longer do web business but hire web developers to run my retail/distribution business. I use to charge RM2000-RM10000 per site. I do not care whether it is simple or difficult to handle but I calculate myself if I were to work 8 hours a day at a company, probably I'll get paid at RM 2500 a month so I work back my time. If I have to spend with a customer 40 hours a week developing, consulting the clients, I would charge R...

How To Find Ebooks : One first trick

intitle:index.of intitle:ebooks|books|ebook|book intext:chm|pdf|zip|rar intext:nfo Add this on query to find files on file hosting server: Rapidshare: intext:rapidshare.de/*/*/* QFile: intext:qfile.de/*/*/* MegaUpload: intext:megaupload.com/?d= mytempdir intext:(sr1|sr2).mytempdir.com/* savefile.com intext:savefile.com/files/* Yousendit.com intext:yousendit.com/*.aspx?id= A variant of the Rapidshare query is the following: site:rapidshare.de OR intext:rapidshare.de/files/ On all the queries you have posted, the last asterisk or wildcard is being ignored by Google. Just put a '/' or forward slash on the end of these queries and Google will not ignore it (i.e. intext:rapidshare.de/*/*/*/). With Rapidshare, you don't need the wildcards because anything that comes after "rapidshare.de/files/" is going to be a number followed by the name of the actual file. QFile query is the same as the Rapidshare query. The following will work and return less noise than what you have...
