ten finger typing

can you type using ten finger? i can. hehe. while i am in campus, this kind of skill were never heard. actually, it is so easy to learn. so many free software to teach you.

the first time i know this kind of typing was from my father. and for years i just know it, without have interest to learn. i try my first time to learn after i enter college. when my father learned this long time ago, it is so difficult. computer is not familiar yet. he used typewriter which is you have to give extra power to push the words . and you have to join a course to learn that.

now, it is so much easier to learn. computer button is not as hard as typewriter. beside that, software that we use to learn are various and very friendly user. a lot of kind of game inside it.

for me, ten finger typing is very helpful. my eyes are focus on monitor, so if there were any mistakes, i will know instantly and i type faster too. the last but not the least, since ten finger typing is not common on outside of writer community, i feel so exclusive and looks cool. hehe.

geology museum

have you ever been visiting geology museum? i had twice. the first time is a few years ago. the second one is a few months ago. nothing change. hehe. for me, what more interesting is its building. an ‘art deco’ style. i dont know why, but i always enjoy the view of old colonial building. oiya, you can enter this museum for free.

blog tool

do we really need a tool to post a blog? the answer could be no could be yes. the answer could be no, because every blog facility provide us with its own place for us to type post. the answer is yes because we need tool which make help us to edit our post and save post idea without having it published first.

we may write at microsoft word first then copy paste it to blog. yes it could, but we need something more efficient and easy to use. so far, i already try 2 tool. w.bloggar and windowslivewriter. i was used to post through w.bloggar, but now i use windowslivewriter. i move to windowslivewriter for some reasons :

1. at w.bloggar we cannot fill the title space because this tool doesnot provide such space for us to write the post title. it is available at windowslivewriter.
2. at w.bloggar we cannot see how our post looked with its real template without having it published first. it is available at windowslivewriter.
3. at w.bloggar we cannot add free wordpress account. it is available at windowslivewriter.

well, that is what i feel. it just my amateur experience, but i don’t how it really works, because maybe for some people w.bloggar is better than windowslivewriter. i don’t know. but i prefer to use windowslivewriter. it’s all about chemistry :p. the good news is you can have any of those for free.

one more important reason for blogger to use this kind of tool is because feeder is so common nowadays. we must not make any mistakes on our post or else our subscriber read that post instantly.

collaboration blog

my favorite theme while browsing are writing, blogs, and travelling. as usual, if i want to have any information about those things, i use google as my search engine. one day, while i use this google, there were occured some sources, most of it were blog links. the interesting part is, these blogs is collaboration blog. thus, there are more than one contributor for these kind of blog.

for example, on travelling theme, there are BraveNewTraveler, gadling, travelblogs, etc. contributors of these blog are registered. there are selected writer. beside that, these writer, have their own travelingblog.

other example is about writing. there were also some blog based on collaboration for this theme. dailywritingtips, thegoldenpencil, copyblogger, are just few of them.

this kind of blogs is really helpful. really helpful for people to find information and really helpful for the writer to build their networks.

so, what about in indonesia?

reminds me if i am wrong. as far as i can see, it is very rare to find this kind of collaboration blog. some blog join in community and have their own blog aggregator is more familiar in indonesia. this thing good for building network. but not in adding extensive knowledge. but it doesnot mean that there were no such collaboration blog. indobackpacker and ilmukomputer are some of them.

or maybe i am wrong? but one thing for sure, i have dream to build such kind of blog!
