			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Di negeri utopia, kekayaan diukur dari kejujuran dan kebaikan hati, bukan dari banyaknya harta.</p>
<p>Di negeri utopia, seorang pemimpin akan melayani rakyatnya, bukan dilayani.</p>
<p>Di negeri utopia, kebenaranlah yang diungkapkan, bukan pembenaran yang dicari.</p>
<p>Di negeri utopia, &#8220;topeng kehidupan&#8221; tidak perlu digunakan  karena tidak ada gunanya.</p>
<p>Di negeri utopia, tidak ada untung atau rugi, yang terjadi adalah saling berbagi.</p>
<p>Di negeri utopia, manusia menghargai alam dan bersinergi dengannya.</p>
<p>Di negeri utopia, strata sosial itu tidaklah penting, karena kesejahteraan adalah hak setiap individunya.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Untuk tulisan ini, saya mengambil contoh yang sederhana tentang bagaimana <a title="Social Media" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_media">Social Media</a> telah mengubah kebiasaan saya dalam mengucapkan selamat Hari Natal kepada teman-teman:</div>
<ul>
<li>Tahun 1990-an: Saya mengucapkan dengan mengirimkan kartu natal.</li>
<li>Tahun 2000-an awal: Saya mengucapkan melalui SMS.</li>
<li>Tahun 2004-2007: Saya mengucapkan melalui Friendster.</li>
<li>Tahun 2008-sekarang: Saya mengucapkan melalui Facebook dan Twitter.</li>
</ul>
<p>Mengapa ini terjadi? Karena Social Media telah memungkinkan kita untuk bertukar informasi secara cepat, <em>real time</em>, murah, interaktif, dan relatif mampu menjangkau banyak orang sekaligus. Selain dalam kehidupan sehari-hari tentu saja banyak aspek lain, seperti politik, jurnalisme, pendidikan, dan dunia bisnis yang juga telah dipengaruhi dengan perkembangan pesat dari teknologi informasi ini.</p>
<p>Fenomena ini menimbulkan pertanyaan yang cukup menarik: &#8220;Apakah pemikirian manusia mempengaruhi munculnya teknologi atau justru sebaliknya?&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em></em><em></em>Mungkin ada yang bertanya-tanya, sebenarnya bagaimana IT dapat mendukung bisnis oil &amp; gas di era teknologi saat ini? Jawabannya cukup sederhana, yaitu IT dianggap sebagai <em>enabler </em>yang dapat mendukung <em>core business</em> dalam industri ini, seperti <em>drilling, operation, exploration,</em> atau <em>production</em>. </p>
<p>Secara umum, beberapa IT function yang ada di perusahaan oil &amp; gas adalah sebagai berikut:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Infrastructure</strong>: semua hal yang berhubungan dengan networking, server, storage management. </li>
<li><strong>Application</strong>: termasuk di dalamnya adalah in-house application, information system, intranet, third party software, dan web development.</li>
<li><strong>Data</strong>: function yang me-manage semua data yang berhubungan dengan GGRE (Geology, Geophysics, and Reservoir Engineering) maupun data operasional lainnya.</li>
<li><strong>SAP</strong>: hampir semua module SAP bisa di-implement di sini (FI/CO, MM, HR, PM), termasuk ABAP dan Business Object untuk reporting. </li>
<li><strong>Client Support</strong>: berperan sebagai customer service yang akan me-manage hal yang berhubungan dengan PC deployment, instalasi program, dan troubleshooting lainnya. </li>
<li><strong>Business Analyst</strong>: peran yang menurut saya sangat <em>challenging</em> karena harus menjadi penghubung antara internal IT dengan user. Biasanya dapat berperan juga sebagai project manager.</li>
<li><strong>Policy &amp; Compliance</strong>: IT audit, records management, information protection, dan security termasuk di sini. </li>
</ul>
<p>Berdasarkan function-function tersebut, saya menganggap bahwa suatu divisi IT di perusahaaan oil &amp; gas bisa dianggap mendekati atau setara dengan software company skala menengah, baik dari sisi budgeting, service, maupun resource. Dan selain IT technical skills, hal penting lainnya yang dibutuhkan untuk terjun ke sini adalah communication skills dan juga kemampuan problem solving yang baik. </p>
<p>Tertarik untuk mencoba? <img src='http://s1.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kurang lebih sekitar 1 tahun yang lalu, saya mulai berkenalan dengan yang namanya <em>Minimalism</em> dan sejak saat itu pula saya menjadi sangat tertarik untuk mempelajari lebih dalam mengenai hal ini dan terus mencoba untuk mengaplikasikannya dalam kehidupan sehari-hari.</p>
<p>Secara sederhana, <em>Minimalism</em> adalah suatu metode atau pola pikir untuk mengurangi atau membatasi hal-hal yang tidak perlu dan hanya fokus pada hal-hal yang penting saja sehingga kita dapat menjalani hidup kita secara penuh pada &#8220;saat ini&#8221;, bukan &#8220;kemarin&#8221; atau &#8220;besok&#8221;.  Intinya di sini adalah FOKUS sehingga kita tidak akan terganggu oleh hal-hal tidak penting yang seringkali membuat hidup kita menjadi tidak nyaman. </p>
<p>Lalu apa saja yang dilakukan seorang <em>Minimalist</em>? Nih contoh ekstrem-nya, seorang yang hanya memiliki <a href="http://exilelifestyle.com/51/" target="_blank">51 items</a> dalam hidupnya. Tunggu dulu, jangan langsung mengambil kesimpulan bahwa seorang Minimalist itu haruslah hidup seperti itu, hidup Minimalist juga bisa dimulai dari sesuatu yang sederhana, contohnya:</p>
<ul>
<li>Fokus pada satu pekerjaan dalam satu waktu. No texting while driving! No twitter while eating!</li>
<li>Mendonasikan atau membuang barang yang sudah tidak dibutuhkan, bisa berupa pakaian, buku, mainan, dll.</li>
<li>Menulis email kurang dari 5 kalimat tanpa mengurangi esensinya.</li>
<li>Membatasi jumlah kata dalam setiap posting di blog menjadi kurang dari 250 kata saja.</li>
<li>Membatasi jumlah yang di-follow di Twitter supaya tidak memenuhi timeline dengan hal-hal yang tidak penting</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Recently we are concerning about swine flu virus which can infect human.  Therefore, my company has taken the REAL action to prevent and also inform the employee about this pandemic virus. Besides educating us via email and article, they provide us with the sanitizer liquid at every floor for washing our hands. This is very good example about the company which cares for the employee&#8217;s health!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Which one do you work for? The consulting or real industry?</p>
<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-101 alignnone" title="industry" src="http://baraqatax.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/industry.jpg?w=270&#038;h=201" alt="industry" width="270" height="201" /></p>
<p>There are pros &amp; cons for both. Some people believe that to start career we have to work for consulting company, such as <a title="Accenture" href="http://www.accenture.com" target="_blank">Accenture</a> for IT services or <a title="PWC" href="http://www.pwc.com" target="_blank">PWC</a> for audit. Yet, on the other side, people want to jump in to the industry for getting the more real situation on the industry itself. The real situation here refers to the market, competitors, stakeholders, etc.</p>
<p>Some <span style="color:#008000;"><strong>advantages</strong></span> working for <strong>consulting companies</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Learn more technical skills, even becoming expert in the certain area (ex: SAP, accounting)</li>
<li>Manage the client independently, deal with time constraint (catch up the deadline)</li>
</ul>
<p>Some <span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>disadvantages</strong></span> working for <strong>consulting companies</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>24/7 workforce must be ready (overtime is very common here :p)</li>
<li>Compensation based on allowance (travel cost) and we can&#8217;t choose the client (even sometimes we need to deal with &#8220;jerk&#8221;)</li>
</ul>
<p>Some <span style="color:#008000;"><strong>advantages</strong> </span>working for <strong>real industry</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Ability to manage the contract &amp; resources, including coordination with third-party or outsourcing</li>
<li>Work-life balance (relatively), if compared to consulting companies</li>
</ul>
<p>Some <span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>disadvantages</strong></span> working for <strong>real industry</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Learn few applicable technical skills since we deal more with strategic planning</li>
<li>The scope of work can be very modular so sometimes it&#8217;s difficult to get the whole picture</li>
</ul>
<p>Notes: Here I&#8217;m not talking about entrepreneur, although it can be viewed as the real industry itself. This article is written based on my experience working in IT consulting company for one year and currently I jump in to the real industry.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What is the relationship between toilet and management?<br />
Have you ever been in the mall with the clean &amp; fragrant toilet? Meanwhile at the other place, you got the dirty and disgusting toilet?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/iguanajo/35872670/"><img class="size-medium wp-image-93" src="http://baraqatax.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/35872670_f0cdeecfce.jpg?w=300&#038;h=228" alt="Toilet" width="300" height="228" /></a></p>
<p>Based on my experience, the good office, mall, or building management can be reflected by its toilet. Believe me, if you are in the building, the first thing that you could know about how well the management could handle the problems is based on sanitation of its toilet. I think those who can manage the little thing, also can be reliable to manage the bigger stuffs with great responsibility. So, check the toilet first if you come to any office or mall :p</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Berikut ini adalah beberapa tipe blogger berdasarkan observasi dan analisis gw selama berkecimpung di dunia per-blog-an ini:</p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">1. Blogger Latah</span><br />
Blogger yang mempunyai blog karena ikut-ikutan temannya, biasanya tipe blogger ini hanya mempunyai beberapa posting dan tidak pernah di-update lagi, bahkan ada juga yang sampai lupa password karena jarang sekali membuka blog-nya <img src='http://s2.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">2. Blogger Plagiat</span><br />
