The #1 Secret of Writing Indonesian Novels: Write in English ;-)

Gw sih jelas-jelas bukan novel writer, not even close. (= “tidak bahkan dekat”? oh… “nggak sedikit pun”?)

Google Analytics ROCKS!!

Despite some bad things I’ve heard about Google Analytics, my first impressions about it is that it’s an excellent tool. I’ve had used AWStats and Webalizer before, and I’ve had to say Google Analytics somewhat ate them all right from the front overview page: You’ll immediately notice that the site still has low number of…

JotSpot vs. Backpack

Looking for a personal productivity tool? I’ve been a user of Backpack since a long time ago… Didn’t use it that much but it was helpful. After that I signed up in Wetpaint. This is seriously a very nice service, great looking site and themes, very easy to use, quick, and useful. (currently I can’t…
