Sneak Preview of our lovely e-Tender

Phewww, after a long coding, debating, cursing, "happy happy joy joy", and turning to nutty developers, the team finally is able to finish some core parts of the e-Tender application. Here is the sneak preview. Congrat Kamerads! We almost did it, half way there :))

Save The Classic VB, NOW!

I still remember learning BASIC for the first time at the age of 13. It was a huge fun to have control over my XT computer. Finally, I was able to create my own arcade game and a small book inventory application on that old PC (It was doing nothing more than playing Digger and managing Wordstar or Lotus 123 documents). Then my dad bought a new AT computer, it was a 80386 with VGA card and a 2 MB hard disk. The new OS, MS Windows 3.1, amazed me since it's very graphical and user friendly. Eventually I got myself introduced with the first generation of Visual Basic. It helped me a lot in developing applications in a rich GUI environment. I kept on using later versions of VB, from 3 to 6, even .NET, and started making "real money". I was then and am now still using VB, it's my first language, my native language (even though I've converted to C#) ! I just can't leave all the contributions and memories behind, especially the ones with VB 6. I've spent too many lonely nights, many "YEAH I DID IT", curses, frustations, and deadline syndroms, with it :)
Right now, I just can't clearly remember when the last time I worked with VB 6? I miss the good old time. If you too, are a VB developer or used to be one, please click the link below and support our dear good old friend. Keep 'em alive!

The Little One In Utero

How does it feel little one?

To have your first heartbeat..

Is it dark in there? Are you cold?

Please worry not for your mother's love

will warm your little place

Be brave, be strong

for the real world that you will face

For this moment now,

just close your eyes and feel the peace

I will not show you how to conquer the world
but I will teach you to defeat yourself
We will help each other grow

for the world is not always what it seems

Be patient now little one,

as your journeys just begun

Not very long from now
you will feel my arms reaching you

To My Loved One, Happy Birthday

I'm not sure you want me

to give you a poem like this

for your birthday --

a poem which says I need

to bury myself in the center of your heart

and swim there like a mermaid.
I pretend to do ordinary things like

birthday cards

but all the cells in my body are

throwing a tantrum because

you're not here with me

and my skin shouts angrily to the angels

because your hands are not touching me
I try to fold my love

in half to go in an envelope

like an ordinary 'love from'

but I may as well fold the sky

which for me

is held aloft only by your kisses.

Happy Birthday

I shout your name from the distance

in this lonely apartment of life ...

I wish you were here ...

My m-Government Article on e-Indonesia Magazine
