Arisan brondong, saya baru denger kemaren langsung ketawa. Kirain makanan ternyata film bioskop.

Kenapa saya bahas ini? masalahnya kata kunci populer arisan brondong termasuk kata kunci yang paling di cari di internet saat ini, termasuk 10 besar kata kunci paling di cari di internet terutama lewat mesin pencari google.co.id.

Awalnya saya geli mendengar istilah ini tapi saya yakin pembuat film ini sangat jeli melihat pasar terutama penciptaan judul film. Masih ingat kan film 2012 yang sempat menghebohkan itu? kalau melihat dari judulnya film 2012 adalah film yang sangat  bagus dan siapapun yang nonton akan puas, tapi kenyataanya biasa-biasa saja kalau menurut saya. Demikian juga fil arisan brondong ini sedikit menyontek trik dari film 2012.

Kemaren sempet nanya-nanya ke temen tentang film ini, berikut sedikit cuplikannya:
Jawaban dari Roni: Arisan brondong adalah arisan yang ibu-ibu yang di suguhi cemilan brondong jagung. ha ha ha
Jawaban dari Nuraini: Arisan brondong adalah arisan yang di lakukan oleh tante-tante terutama di jakarta pusat untuk mendapatkan satu brondong, semacam lelang gitu!!
Jawaban dari Kiwil: Arisan brondong itu film bioskop itu lho mas, baru kemaren-kemaren saya nonton. Norak sih loe mas, nggak gaul, nggak pernah nonton.

Apapun jawabannya saya mendengar istilah arisan brondong tetep geli.

Apakah Akses Facebook untuk anak-anak harus di batasi?

Dengan banyaknya kasus yang  di sebabkan oleh jejaring social facebook saat ini membuat kita semua sebagai orang tua harus lebih hati-hati dan harus ikut andiljuga mengawasi anak-anak dalam berinternet. Bagaimana tidak khawatir saat ini anak-anak bisa berkenalan secara bebas di jejaring social tersebut. Kalau yang di ajak kenalan berniat baik mugkin tidak jadi masalah, tetapi kalau yang di ajak kenalan berniat tidak terpuji, kita sebagai orang tua waktunya mengawasi anak-anak kita.

Kalau akses internet anak-anak hanya di rumah mungkin masih mudah di kendalikan oleh bantuan software blokir website, bahkan kita bisa membatasi akses website tertentu hanya di jam jam tertentu saja.

Apakah anak-anak kita yang salah ataukah Jejaring social yang salah?, Kalau menurut pendapat saya tidak ada yang salah mengenai hal ini, masalahnya hanya apakah siap atau tidak kita menerima perkembangan teknologi yang begitu pesatnya. Solusinya hanya kita orang Indonesia harus bisa memilah informasi yang harus di akses dan informasi yang seharusnya tidak di akses, terutama untuk Anak-anak kita.

Apakah pemerintah harus menerbitkan undang-undang baru untuk masalah ini?, Saya kira Pemerintah tidak perlu ikut campur mengenai masalah ini, yang harus di lakukan pemerintah adalah mendidik Rakyat Indonesia terutama generasi muda agar melek informasi sehingga tidak salah memanfaatkan kecanggihan dunia internet untuk kejahatan dan berniat jahat atau bahkan malah di cabuli oleh kecanggihan teknologi.

Anak-anak lebih senang Facebook-an daripada belajar lalu bagaimana?, Saya yakin ada orang tua mengalami seperti hal di atas, kalau Anda sama mungkin bisa mencoba saran saya berikut ini.

1. Kalau Anda akses internet di rumah, saatnya setting akses web Facebook dan jejaring social lainnya pada jam jam tertentu saja. Anak pasti akan berontak, jangan khawatir karena memang sudah tugas dan kewajiban kita untuk membatasi hal itu agar tidak menjadi masalah yang besar. Saya yakin Anak kita lama-lama juga akan terbiasa.

2. Jadwalkan jam belajar Anak-anak pada jam setelah main Facebook dan berselancar di internet, hal ini agar Anak kita juga tidak terlalu ketinggalan informasi-informasi yang penting bagi anak kita. Kenapa sehabis mainFacebook, karena saat sehabis Anak-anak bersenang-senang di situlah kesempatan kita untuk memaksa anak kita belajar karena kalau kondisi sedang fit dan senang di pastikan belajar juga akan lebih bisa masuk ke otak anak-anak.

Anak-anak yang saya maksud adalah yang umurnya kurang dari 17 tahun.

Hosting murah dan bagus Indonesia!! betulkah?

Saya punya pengalaman pindah hosting 5 kali dalam setahun, benar-benar
pekerjaan yang melelahkan dan menyebalkan. Saya sengaja tidak meminta tolong pihak hosting untuk memindahkan data-data saya secara otomatis  karena saya ingin mengetahui  cara pindah hosting yang benar. Kalau tidak punya koneksi internet yang bagus di pastikan akan kesulitan memindahkan data dari hosting lama ke hosting baru.

Nggak tau kenapa tanggal 2 bulan ini website kuliner istri saya di peringatkan lagi dari pihak hosting karena terlalu membebani server hosting sehingga mengganggu pengguna hosting lain, maklum saja share hosting. 2 jam kemudian website istri saya kalau di buka hanya akan nampil  account suspended, wah gawat. Ternyata peringatannya begitu cepat, karena kesibukan saya job offline saya belum sempat baca peringatan itu webnya keburu di suspend. Setelah saya saya balas e-mail dari admin untuk mengaktifkan kembali web saya malah jawabannya berbelit-belit, saya di suruh menonaktifkan plugin yang memberatkan server.

Setelah saya ingat-ingat memang 3 hari yang lalu saya ngetest plugin pada web ini, namaya kalau nggak salah SEO Buzz, belum kelihatan hasilnya malah sudah di suruh nyabut. Terpaksa di cabut hari ini juga. Web istri saya baru bisa di onlinekan lagi pas jam 01.00 pagi, alasan dari pihak hosting mengaktifkan web saya malam hari karena lonjakan kunjungan secara tiba-tiba akan bisa menyebabkan server down.

Baru selang 2 minggu tepatnya kemaren saya kaget karena malam-malam pas mau posting kok nggak bisa login, saya coba reset pastwordnya juga nggak bisa, Khawatir kalau web saya di bajak orang Saya langsung cek email. Benar saja ada kiriman email dari pihak hosting kalau website saya sangat memberatkan kinerja server lagi sehingga admin hosting terpaksa ngehack website saya untuk menonaktifkan beberapa plugin, ada apa lagi ini.

Saya nggak habis pikir kalau plugin-plugin ini di hapus oleh admin, termasuk plugin andalan saya juga:
1. Plugin STT2, fungsinya untuk menampilkan kata kunci yang di pakai oleh pengunjung sehingga halaman-halaman akan lebih populer pada kata kunci tertentu. Plugin ini buatan orang Indonesia lho.
2. Plugin Yarp, plugin ini berfungsi untuk tukar menukar link antar halaman tetapi lebih spesialnya yang akan di tukar adalah halaman-halaman yang kata-kuncinya sama. Lebih topnya lagi kita bisa mengatur seberapa relevan kata kunci yang kita kehendaki. Plugin ini sudah saya modif sehingga menghasilkan link yang SEO friendly.
3. Plugin Antivirus, plugin ini memang tidak berpengaruh terhadap SEO, tetapi saya rasa penting juga karena plugin ini akan memberi peringatan kepada admin via email kalau ada link atau code yang aneh pada template kita.
4. Plugin WP security, saya rasa ini juga penting karena akan melindungi file-file kita di hosting dari tangan jail atau hacker.

Di antara 4 plugin di atas saya sangat menyayangkan plugin YARP saya juga di hapus. Saya rasa cara kerja plugin ini tidak memberatkan server.

Dari pengalaman saya di atas saya mempunyai kesimpulan bahwa hosting murah tidak mungkin bagus dan handal. Hosting murah memang bisa untuk sekedar belajar membuat web dan belajar mencari traffic. Kalau sudah punya pengunjung lebih dari 5000 perhari sudah waktunya memindahkan ke VPS atau kalau mampu beli server sendiri. Saat ini saya baru akan merencanakan pemindahan hosting saya ke luar negeri, sangat terpaksa harus ke laur negeri karena pengalaman dari para senior lebih bagus dan tidak berbelit-belit. Semoga tidak ada masalah yang rumit lagi.

Just as in your home country, there are several advantages to living in an apartment instead of a house, though ultimately it is a personal choice. First, less maintenance is required for apartments due to their smaller size. Also, you will not need to hire as many staff to help you with the upkeep, as the apartment complex has its own security and maintenance crew. The security staff can also accept deliveries when you. re out. Apartment buildings also allow you to live above the street level which can help reduce noise, bugs and rodents.Bona Vista Apartments – Jakarta

Looking for an Apartment
When searching for an apartment, you can either go through an reputable agency or broker who can show you a wide range of apartments from their database to meet your needs, or you can visit the apartment complexes yourself.

It is easy to visit apartments on your own, provided you have the names of the complexes and their addresses. All apartment complexes have a management office and their marketing staff will be happy to show you the available, or soon to be available, apartments. More likely than not, the marketing person will also speak English.

You should bear in mind, however, that the apartment management may show you only management-owned apartments or apartments that they represent, and they will endeavor to maintain a relatively high rental. Reputable agencies, such as Colliers International will be able to show you not only management-owned apartments, but also privately owned apartments within the same complex, for which the rental may be considerably lower.

An agency will provide transportation and pick you up from your hotel or temporary accommodation. Look for a reputable agency that represents you as the tenant and not the landlord on any offers or negotiations on a property, and provides services including: negotiations with the landlord regarding all terms and conditions of the lease agreement, a letter of intent to insure that the apartment is reserved for you, arrangements for payments of deposit, base rent and service charges. An agency should also conduct a pre-lease inspection of the apartment on your behalf and

check the following: electrical capacity and overall wiring condition, water supply, telephone, air conditioners, woodwork and structure.
How to Locate Major Apartment Complexes

As was suggested in the Preparing for your Move article on this web site, an initial visit before you move would be a good time to start looking for your new home. If you don’t have the chance to make a familiarization trip, you can stay in Temporary Housing (i.e., a hotel or a serviced apartment) until you find a permanent home. During your search you should be equipped with a good map of Jakarta. The best maps to buy are the Falk Plan maps. These maps comes in two versions, the fold-out Jakarta City Map which is great for initial orienting to the layout of Jakarta, and the book version Jakarta Jabotabek Street Atlas which provides more detailed information with a street index. These maps can be found in most bookstores in Jakarta.

Exterior of Bona Vista Apatments – JakartaThe Falk Street Atlas lists major apartment complexes in Jakarta in its indexes well as locates most of them on the map with an “A” symbol in a circle. Other useful information on this map are locations of major shopping centers, schools and office buildings. This can help you decide which areas of town you want to begin looking in. Keep in mind, traffic in Jakarta is heavy; if possible it would be wise to live near places you frequent most often (schools, shops, work). It’s best to drive to these areas and see for yourself what the area is like. It would be a good idea to drive from your intended home area to your future work place during rush hour (both morning and evening) to see what the commute would be like.

If you do not have someone from your future employer to drive you around to look for an apartment, you can rent a taxi for several days from Silver Bird or Bluebird (the most reputable taxis in Jakarta). These drivers speak enough English to get you safely to your destination and they also know the location of most apartment complexes.

Buying vs. Leasing

Since most expats stay for only a few years, they usually choose to lease rather than buy an apartment. Apartments in Jakarta are expensive in comparison to other types of housing. Apartment owners can either be individuals or the original developers who are represented through a management office. If you lease an apartment, you are leasing from the owner of that unit and all legal transactions and contracts are made with the owner. In the case of individual apartment owners, the management office for the apartment complex often represents the owner during the initial lease arrangements. For more information on condominium see Buying an Apartment

What to Expect in an Apartment

In general, the better apartment complexes provide similar facilities and services. Usually complexes have full fitness/recreation facilities (gym, tennis courts and swimming pool), children’s playground and a small convenience store on the premises. More luxurious complexes may even have a putting and chipping green for golfers. A satellite dish or cable television connections are common, though there may be an additional charge for the service. A single phone line is normally provided, and often broadband or dedicated lines for fax/internet.

Apartments, on the whole, are similar to what you would expect in western countries with one exception, the addition of household staff quarters. These usually consist of a small bedroom and a bathroom situated off the kitchen and laundry areas. It is not air-conditioned (most household staff find air conditioning too cold). Some apartments have a separate entrance from the outside which leads directly into the staff’s quarters and/or kitchen area. In this arrangement, the door between the kitchen and the rest of the house can be locked, yet the household staff still have free access to the kitchen and laundry work areas as well as access to enter or leave the apartment. This can be beneficial for your privacy, but can also prove to be an additional security problem since the household staff will probably hold a key.

Apartments range in size from studio to 5 bedrooms. Penthouses can have up to four bedrooms plus sitting room, living room and terraces. The predominant feature of penthouses, besides their larger size, is that they are multilevel. Two-bedroom apartments average 125 to 175 square meters and can cost from US$ 1,000 to US$ 3,000 per month. Three-bedroom apartments average 150 to 300 square meters and can cost from US$ 1,500 to US$ 5,000 per month. Normally, rent for the entire contract period is paid in advance with the addition of a security deposit. Therefore, if your lease is for two years you must pay the entire two years up front. This can often be negotiated to pay on a periodic basis.

Please note: during the recent monetary crisis, prices have gone down dramatically and many concessions are being made on rental arrangements. Be sure to explore all pricing possibilities thoroughly.
Types of Apartments

Apartments come in three types:

* serviced and furnished
* non-serviced and furnished
* non-serviced and unfurnished

Serviced apartments are normally the most expensive to rent as they provide maid service similar to star-rated hotels. These apartments are normally furnished, can have one to four bedrooms, a kitchen, living room and perhaps a sitting room. The maid will change the linen, clean your apartment and in some cases even do the dishes. Some complexes have a laundry room and or laundry service, others may provide a washer and or dryer in the apartment.

Non-serviced apartments are furnished or unfurnished. In the 90s there was a building boom in Jakarta where new apartment buildings were constructed and opened nearly every month. While new developments have stopped for the most part since the monetary crisis, there is a good variety and selection of apartments available at the current time. Many of these apartments are located near the “Golden Triangle” which is the main business district. Quite a few new apartment buildings are also being opened along the outer ring roads for easier access to the central business district.

Besides their actual location, The primary differences between different apartment complexes are the arrangement of rooms as well as the quality of the construction. The size of apartments varies as well. One complex may have very small two bedroom apartments while another may have quite large ones.

When inspecting your prospective apartment check carefully for wear and tear on the building and its structure. While most apartments are under 5 years old, the tropical weather and lack of good maintenance may have taken its toll on the building. Source: expat.or.id/info/apartments.html
