MERDEKA! ..Happy Birthday Malaysia

Happy 50th Birthday my Beloved Malaysia. MERDEKA! MERDEKA! MERDEKA!

But the Question is… How you celebrate MERDEKA (independence day),

Well here in in UTM Skudai Johor Bahry, there were a University level celebration for the ocassion. I didnt attend it but a bunch ..i would say almost thousands of students, mostly motorist had a big convoy before and after the function. It was a good convoy before the function and it turn out to be a rempit style convoy with a honk here and there after it. I didnt attend the function instead, My frens and i ceelebrate it with a fun session of futsal game. It was fun but were disturb by this mototist with a rempit attitude on them. Boys and gurls. so here the question arise. Do they really know the meaning of MERDEKA or they simple having such behaviour sort of a civic minded rempit style fucking motorist. So …to me…they still dont know to celbrate it although they attend the function.

DO WE REALLY MERDEKA?

The answer is NO. and i dont think we will …in near future…to many issues….to many problems …yeah im talking bout Malaysian social level…its totally fuckup.the western way of life, the free sex issues and stuff.. What wrong with Malaysian youngsters now…. Im not talking bout those youngster outside …im talking about University Student for GOD SAKE!. and i dont see any action taken for such behaviour today. We finished playing futsal around 2 am in the morning but still there are still groups of motorist honking around like shit..

Well… we as a descent Malaysian should look into this matter… We are not yet MERDEKA…. MERDEKA is mostly a name now… but the spirit is not there.

period.

I want to be alone….

’

I want to be alone for awhile, it seems like each and every fucking time i try my best to be nice, and try to pleased them…i always get back the other way round instead. I dont know why but is it fate? God is not that cruel, I know GOD are helping me by giving this test and obstacle. From my major problem which is due this 6 sept until to my own personal fucking life. Some people just want their part to be done, but not looking at the whole picture. There’s a Malay proverb says that “Bila senang kawan, bila susah lari” which means ’they be friend with you when you are have what benefits them, and will ran away if ur facing problem” more or less its like friends for benefits..period.

Ok thats my major problem, and it drags me to my personal life. It effect me one way another and i cant get my own freedom even doe im staying here on my own far from my family. There are eyes that looking at me as a spy for few ppl out there WHICH i dont line it at all and there are bunch of idiots, civic-minded, orthodox ppl whom does not understand the meaning behind simple words or instructions. Im not saying im perfect. But there are times when u need to utilize ur brain lar JACKASS. Dont simply assume here and there, and bash ppl like hell. I dont like it. Even im im wrong can u please tell me what is it clearly instead? So now i cant talk to other people? meet them? go out with them? huh!! Seriously i dont like that attitude, period.

I want to be alone for this few days. im gonna think about my future, my life and i regret to myself involved in the first place. i did. So be it… Shit happens…

Please read this… I WANT TO BE ALONE.

ps: i will continue to write although i want to be alone for quite some time. Im writing alone, facing and bashing the keyboard alone, in my room, my cube, my world. Malaysia…. 50 years… im gonna celebrate the joy of independence day… ALONE…

10 things you did not know about Wikipedia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - original source

10 things you did not know about Wikipedia is a list of insights about Wikipedia specifically targeted at people who have limited prior experience with the project, such as journalists, new editors, and new readers. These explanations should not surprise experienced editors, but hopefully will help the rest of the world to shape an informed opinion of our work.

More information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:About

1. We are not for sale.

   If you are waiting for Wikipedia to be bought by your friendly neighborhood Internet giant, do not hold your breath. Wikipedia is a non-commercial website run by the Wikimedia Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in St. Petersburg, Florida. We are supported by donations and grants, and our mission is to eventually bring free knowledge to everyone.

   More information: http://wikimediafoundation.org/

2. Our work can be used by everyone, with a few conditions.

   Wikipedia has taken a cue from the free software community (which includes projects like GNU/Linux and Mozilla Firefox) and done away with traditional copyright restrictions on our content. Instead, we have adopted what is known as a “free content license” (specifically, the GFDL): all text and composition created by our users are and will always remain free for anyone to copy, modify, and redistribute. We only insist that you credit the contributors, and that you do not impose new restrictions on the work or any improvements you make to it. Many of the images, videos, and other media on the site are also under free licenses, or in the public domain. Just check a file’s description page to see its licensing terms.

   More information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyrights

3. We speak Banyumasan…[1]

   …and about 250 other languages. Granted, only about 70 of those Wikipedia language editions currently have more than 10,000 articles — but that is not because we are not trying. Articles in each language are generally started and develop differently from their equivalents in other languages, although some are direct translations, which are always performed by volunteer translators, and never by machines. The Wikimedia Foundation is supported by a growing network of independent chapter organizations, already in seven countries, which help us to raise awareness on the local level. In many countries, including the United States, Wikipedia is among the ten most popular websites.

   More information: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wikipedias and http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?q=&url=wikipedia.org

4. You cannot actually change anything in Wikipedia…

   …you can only add to it. Wikipedia is a database with an eternal memory. An article you read today is just the current draft; every time it is changed, we keep both the new version and a copy of the old version. This allows us to compare different versions, or restore older ones as needed. As a reader, you can even cite the specific copy of an article you are looking at. Just link to the article using the “Permanent link” at the bottom of the left menu, and your link will point to a page whose contents will never change. (However, if an article is deleted, you cannot view a permanent link to it unless you are an administrator.)

   More information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki

5. We care deeply about the quality of our work.

   Wikipedia has a complex set of policies and quality control processes. Editors can patrol changes as they happen, monitor specific topics they know about, follow a user’s track of contributions, tag articles with problems for other editors to work on, report vandals, discuss the merits of each article with other users, and many other things. Our best articles are awarded “featured article” status, and problem pages are nominated for deletion. “WikiProjects” focus on improvements to particular topic areas. Really good articles may go into other media and be distributed to schools through Wikipedia 1.0. We care about getting things right, and we never stop thinking about new ways to do so.

   More information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Community_Portal, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Why_Wikipedia_is_so_great, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Attribution, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability

6. We do not expect you to trust us.

   It is in the nature of an ever-changing work like Wikipedia that, while some articles are of the highest quality of scholarship, others are admittedly complete rubbish. We are fully aware of this. We work hard to keep the ratio of the greatest to the worst as high as possible, of course, and to find helpful ways to tell you what state an article is currently in. Even at its best, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a primary source, with all the limitations it entails. We ask you not to condemn Wikipedia, but to use it with an informed understanding of what it represents. Also, as some articles may contain errors, please do not use Wikipedia to make important decisions.

   More information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:General_disclaimer

7. We are not alone.

   Wikipedia is part of a growing movement for free knowledge that is beginning to permeate science and education. The Wikimedia Foundation directly operates eight sister projects to the encyclopedia: Wiktionary (a dictionary and thesaurus), Wikisource (a library of source documents), Wikimedia Commons (a media repository of more than one million images, videos, and sound files), Wikibooks (a collection of textbooks and manuals), Wikiversity (an interactive learning resource), Wikinews (an experiment in citizen journalism), Wikiquote (a collection of quotations), and Wikispecies (a directory of all forms of life). Like Wikipedia itself, all these projects are freely licensed and open to contributions.

   More information: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Our_projects

8. We are only collectors.

   Articles in Wikipedia are not signed, and contributors are unpaid volunteers. Whether you claim to be a tenured professor, use your real name or prefer to remain without an identity, your edits and arguments will be judged on their merits. We require that sources be cited for all significant claims, and we do not permit editors to publicize their personal conclusions when writing articles. Editors must follow a neutral point of view; they must only collect relevant opinions which can be traced to reliable sources.

   More information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Five_pillars, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability

9. We are not a dictatorship nor any other political system.

   The Wikimedia Foundation is controlled by its Board of Trustees, the majority of whom the Bylaws require to be chosen from its community. The Board and Wikimedia Foundation staff does not take a role in editorial issues, and projects are self-governing and consensus-driven. Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales occasionally acts as a final arbiter on the English Wikipedia, but his influence is based on respect, not power; it takes effect only where the community does not challenge it. Wikipedia is transparent and self-critical; controversies are debated openly and even documented within Wikipedia itself when they cross a threshold of significance.

   More information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not

10. We are in it for the long haul.

    We want Wikipedia to be around at least a hundred years from now, if it does not turn into something even more significant. Everything about Wikipedia is engineered towards that end: our content licensing, our organization and governance, our international focus, our fundraising strategy, our use of open source software, and our never-ending effort to achieve our vision. We want you to imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. That is our commitment — and we need your help.

What the …? Room Database? its roomsDB.net

roomsDB.net - room rental in Singapore

Yeah, its a room database, like a normal advertisement, ad post online portal, roomsDB.net(Singapore) focus only on room rental based portal no other junk stuff. I live in KL and a frequent visitors to Singapore. Sometimes i need to rent a hotel which cost me roughly about SGD$80-150 in average and getting a room there, yes Singapore would be a problem if i wanted to. I need to blend with the market demand there and stuff. dude, im not a Singaporean and how am i supposed to blend with the demand of finding a good yet affordable room to rent. Plus it would be troublesome for to walk around the island and find a decent room and i dont like to travel that much to scout for a room.

Well, enough with a crap introduction and now a proper one. Mr Sebastian who is a half German and Chinese guy is the founder/developer of roomsDB. He’s a kickass internet GEEK who know how to socialize around with people and not being a GEEK who only know the song of mouse clicking and keyboard bashing. (Sorry sebastian i need to say that ur an internet geek, a cool one) He came out with the idea of creating roomsDB because he’s a geek who dont know how to blend with the market to find a room in Singapore while he’s still studying. So he uses his ’geek’ power and came out with the kickass idea, which i think nobody know bout this yet….

Success

He have a great stuff in hand but he only know a little to nothing bout marketing, because he’s an electrical engineering student. Thanks to Mr Advertlets.com and roomsDB.net came out with an online advertising scheme which is what advertlets is. The use hundreds and thousands of Singaporean & Malaysian bloggers site around the world to spread about the news. Ok lets do the math, we take a single blog site with a minimum of 5 uniques page views per day and there a more than 50 million advertlets publisher/network around the globe. Dude, 55 millions times 5 is 275 millions page views per day that saw the roomsDB advertisement. So it was a success.. and a great traffic come with a great responsibilities, Sebastian need to upgrade his dedicated server. read bout his success story here. Plus it was so successful The Straits Times even put an article bout roomsDB on the newspaper (view the article here). Due to the overwhelming support, traffic and fans (such as me). Sebastian the founder/developer of roomsDB expanded his network to Kuala Lumpur (my hometown) and roomsDB.net is now available for Kuala Lumpur as well in a beta version. Beta version, so major cities in Malaysia only. Hey its BETA lar brother give it a time dude.The major cities are Kuala Lumpur (roomsDB.net - rent a room in KL), Johor Bahru, and Penang.

So to cut the long story short. I would greatly support and use the roomsDB.net services because yes i can save petrol money, time and stuff scouting for rooms in major cities.

Converse, Me and Extrareen

Converse, i got 2 pairs of converse shoes, one a normal black white converse and the other one is a limited converse anniversary edition. got another 2 pairs at home but its already worn out. but i still keep it. Talking bout shoes, im not into shoe that much, i only buy what i thing fits my feet and affordable. Once somebody said that im too stingy i dont even get a proper sandals, instead bought a RM2.00 flip flop (selipar jepun). I dont care what people said and most importantly im happy for what i am. Seriously… its just a matter of your physical representation but not the inner representation which is more important that other. Im not saying im a 100% person who look inside but not looking at the physical of a person at all.. i’ll be lying if im saying that. but to me a decent looking person should be good enough. Usually a good looking person in a sense that super duper gorgeous women or super duper good looking guy have an apposite personality of their outer look…. i would say MOST of them. correct me if im wrong by posting a comment on this post.

But.. not all of them are like that, yesterday… i found out that one of my blogging buddy is my junior at my faculty i was like… what the hell this is the person i try to flirt with on the MESCO nite on last 4th August, she’s cute and the physical look of herself do reflect her inner personality.. ahaks…. and that brings me down stuck chatting with this person till 2 am in the morning. haha talking to my junior… i felt kinda awkward but when we found that we do have similar interest so the conversation was not boring as other conversation i had with other ppl. it was fun. i got another person which i enjoy talking to. and this ppl, i mean those who enjoy talking to do help me building my self esteem talking with people around without a proper topic or discussion. the talk we had was basically mere to an introduction bout ourself to each other. haha funny i met my junior on a Blog Community.

——————————-

ehmm, starting from today… i will try my best to make 2 post each an everytime i made a post to my blog. 1st post will consist of “intelectual, technical, knowledge or sponsored” based post and the 2nd should be a personal post (personal experienced, life and stuff). Im trying my best to rank up my PageRank in order to get a good Sponsored Post opportunity. Since i found a person who do really makes money by posting a sponsored post. ait, thats all for now. till then… later

The Math behind Google PageRank…

As you all know, google use PageRank is it’s weighted of websites on the world wide wide aka WWW. I just learned that to certain extend PageRank is important for SEO apart from the SEO optimization/ configuration that u guys do all the time. So i googled around to see what is it all about. How is it calculated and how to rank up my own PageRank (actually this is my main intention)

I google around to various website inside the WWW arena, until i said to myself… how in the world they calculate PageRank.

So i ended up using the infamous Google l33t search engine and hit the keyboard with this keyword, "PageRank +wiki", which narrow my search to a wikipedia site.

So basically this the algorithm below was taken from wikipedia site, here is the complete link to it "PageRank"

Why am i so interested to post this one.. well it actually reminds me during my 1st year university days. I took Linear Algebra and this is it… MATRICES!! ..i got an A- for this subject. ok cut the crap …

Below is the algorithm of PageRank

or (N = the number of documents in collection)

and the derivation is as follow,

and behind the derivation is linear algebra … its matrices!

where R is the solution of the equation

where the adjacency function is 0 if page p_j does not link to p_i, and normalised such that, for each j

i.e. the elements of each column sum up to 1. and bla bla bla…read the full content here"Wikipedia - PageRank"

Bash/Question: dude ur using picture taken from wikipedia, isnt it plagiarism?

Answer: NO, its not plagiarism, since wikipedia is adopted what is known as a "free content license" under the GNU public license, which allow all text and images authored by the users are and will always remain free for anyone to copy, modify, and redistribute.
