Ten Commandments Of Blog Commenting

2010-06-14T18:33:00.001+08:00

Most of us visit a lot of blogs everyday and leave comments on the ones we like. Some people leave comments on other blogs hoping to get noticed and possibly gain more traffic. Others leave comments because they want to participate and make new friends.

Both reasons are perfectly valid. What a lot of people tend to forget, however, is that there are best practices for everything, including blog commenting.
Here are the Ten Commandments Of Blog Commenting:

1. Read before you write - Before writing your comment, make sure that you have read and understood the post. Firing off a quick comment only to realize that it was totally unrelated to the post won’t get you any new visitors. Be sure to read your comment before submitting. I’ve made a lot of embarrassing typos just because I was in a hurry to submit my comment.

2. Be Polite - Good manners are essential when commenting on other blogs. You wouldn’t go to another house and behave inappropriately right? It’s the same thing with blogs. Just because you’re not interacting face to face doesn’t mean you can act like an idiot. If you’re polite and well-behaved, you’ll find that it will be easy to forge new relationships with other bloggers.

3. Smile - Emoticons are great for adding a little oomph to your comment. A smile can make a huge difference. If you’re giving the author a compliment, smile. If you’re voicing a different opinion, smile. A smiley gives off a friendly vibe. Trust me .

4. Contribute - As much as possible, try leaving a comment that adds value to the discussion. Comments like, “Me too!”, or “Wow nice!” are generally frowned upon and give the impression that your opinions are not worth reading. Personally, I don’t mind comments like these since I’m an off-topic kind of guy heh, but for other blogs, it’s better to leave comments with value.

5. Don’t be condescending - When pointing out errors in the post, or disagreeing with the author’s opinion, do it in a nice way. You may be the world’s smartest person but you don’t have to rub it in everyone else’s face. Voice your opinions in a friendly manner and you’ll be sure to make new friends. Remember, the really good ones don’t need to brag.

6. When in doubt, ask - Anytime you come across a post that you would like to comment on but can’t because you don’t fully understand it, go ahead and ask for clarification. Most authors would be happy to expound on their original post. Most blog authors appreciate it when their readers show interest in the article by asking questions.

7. Make a good impression - Commenting on other blogs is another way of marketing yourself and your blog. If the majority of your comments are obvious hit and run comments to gain backlinks or to get into the Top Commentators list, you’re not painting a good picture of yourself. Writing meaningful replies and responding to other commenters are good ways of leaving a good impression on the blog author and his readers.

8. Never flame - If you feel the need to comment on a post that you don’t like or an article that you completely disagree with, don’t start a flame war. Insults, name-calling, and sarcastic comments won’t give you new readers nor friends. If you can’t help but feel antagonistic towards the author, don’t waste your time and energy. Just leave. There are thousands of other blogs that you can visit.

9. Humor goes a long way - Everyone loves a good laugh. Try injecting some of your comments with a little humor. If you can make the author and the other commenters laugh, there’s a good chance that they’ll visit your blog and become regular readers.

10. Come back - You’ve done all the things listed here. What’s next? You have to try and go back to the blogs you visited and continue to contribute. That is the best way to get noticed. Most blog authors notice people who regularly leave comments, and usually become a regular commenter on their blogs as well.

How To Use Google ( Part 2 )

2010-06-14T15:03:00.002+08:00

1.intitle:…

This command syntax is for limit the searching that only gives you result that has information in a topic that you mean.
For example: intitle:global warming
Google will search the page that has global as the title with warming as the main priority. If the searching has two main searching queries, use the syntax allintitle:global warming and searching will be limited by two main subject, that’s global and warming.

2.inurl:...

This command syntax is for limit the searching that only gives you result that has your keyword in all URL. Example: inurl:database.mdb
The searching will display all URL that has information about database.mdb.If the searching has two main searching queries, use the syntax allinurl:… to get the list of its URL. Example allinurl:etc/passwd, the result will display to you all URL that has information about etc and passwd. Slash between two word will be ignored by Google.

3.Site:...

This syntax is for limit the searching from an information query based on a site or domain. Example: waveguide site:itb.ac.id Search engine will find out the topic about wave guide in all pages that available in .itb .ac .id domain.

4.Cache:...

It will display to you list of web in Google database. For example cache:deffcon.org ,the searching will display the list that had save in Google for page deffcon.org.

5.Filetype:…

This command syntax is for search data with certain extension (.e. doc, pdf or ppt etc). example : filetype:doc site:go.id confidential, google will display data file with extension .doc in all go.id domain, that has confidential information.

6.link:…

That’s Google syntax to display the list of WebPages that has the link in special webpage. For example link:www.securityfocus.com will show to you list of webpage that has link point in securityfocus page.

7.related:…

This syntax will give you list of WebPages that has similar homepage that you indicated.

8.intext:…

This syntax is for find out the words in a certain website. This command will ignore link or URL and page title. Example: intext:admin , searching will give you link in a web page that has admin keyword.

You can use many combinations from the command syntax above. It does depend on your creativity and your logic. You can use the syntax for the crime in on line world like steal a password. But it’s better and more useful if you use the syntax for humanity benefit. So, think it...

How To Use Google ( Part 1 )

2010-06-14T14:35:00.002+08:00

At this time I want to give you some tips how to use Google as well as correctly (just the basic), in order you can get your information that you find quickly.

First, use the excerpt mark “……” You can use this mark to find a blog or website that has a sentence that you mean. Example you want to find Modern Technology, You can type it “Modern technology”. If you type like that, Google will display to you all blog or website which has a modern technology sentence. But if you just type Modern Technology (without excerpt mark), Google will display all blog and website that has Modern and Technology word and Modern Technology sentence. Which one is effective? I suggest to not writing a long sentence because you will find nothing from Google.

Second, you can use the mark + and - (plus and minus). These marks are very useful to find some article. I can’t explain to you how to use it, but you can understand if I give you an example. If you type Hotel + London, Google will give you all information about hotel in London. If you type Hotel – London, Google will give you all information about hotel but without information from London’s hotel. You can combine these marks too. Ex, America + Bank - City Bank, Google will give you information about all banks in America without city bank.

Last, if necessary you can combine those two ways above. Example, you want to find Modern Technology in America Hotel without Information from Hilton Hotel. You can type “Modern Technology” + America + Hotel – Hilton Hotels.

Snore

2010-06-13T08:30:00.001+08:00

Snoring has been associated with sleep apnea, a breathing disorder linked to elevated blood pressure, cardiovascular stress, headaches, depression, and fatigue.

Snoring, very simply, is caused by
the vibration of the soft tissues at the back of the throat. In general, three factors contribute to these vibrations. They are weak muscles, masses encroaching on the air way (in children, for instance, snoring can almost always be traced to enlarged tonsils and adenoids), and obstructed nasal breathing.

The first factor-weak muscles, explains why most snoring takes place during deep storages at sleep, when throat muscles relax and tongue falls back, causing vibration. Understanding gravity, you can easily see why snoring often occurs when people sleep on their backs.

The second factor-things that crowd the airway can sometimes be blamed on heredity. While the average sized uvula (that fleshly lobe shaped structure that hangs in the back of your throat) measures a quarter inch, some poor souls have one that’s four times as long. Other traits can exacerbate snoring too. Obese people are three times more likely to snore than thin ones (their bulkiness extends throughout their bodies). And smokers’ throats are irritated daily, causing mucous membranes to swell, narrowing the airway.

The third factor-obstructed nasal breathing, can have many causes congestion, allergies, polyps, even a deviated septum are just a few.

In some cases, a sleeper’s airway may be completely blocked, causing breathing to stop for a period before the sleeper is jolted partially awake gasps for air and falls back to sleep. Then the process is repeated. Known as obstructive sleep apnea, this condition can lead to severe cardiac and pulmonary problems, even to death.

The Computer Virus

2008-09-24T20:55:00.004+08:00

What is computer virus?

Computer virus is program that wrote from “low degrees language” like ASSEMBLY which has an ability to spread itself from a program to another program. A computer virus is not same as the disease virus because the computer virus is unshaped. It named computer virus becauseof it has ability like disease virus that can spread itself and commonly its detriment. Computer virus usually made by a software specialist especially for the specialist who understands about ASSEMBLY language and ability to understand an operation system. Butnow there are many viruses that make from the high language like MACRO and etc.

How the viruses can spreads itself?

The virus just can spread itself if we activated it or if we executed it. So it’s impossible for the virus to spread itself by ASCII file and it’s impossible if the virus infect your computer because of the there is a disk with virus in it without execute. And because of that the virus spread itself from the files that usually execute like: .com, .exe, .bat, .ovl, .Drv, and etc. to spread itself, the virus usually spreads itself by execute file and we always cheated with that file.

We have to remember that the virus (computer virus) is not “something life” like disease viruses that we know which can be spread by air or the other media. The virus is same as with the other programs where it will active if we execute it. So it’s impossible if the virus can be active without execute and the virus always be the execute file. The virus can’t spreads by a file that not executed, like text data and etc. but you have to remember that the virus can break anything in your computer except hardware. There is no virus that can destroy hardware like monitor, keyboard, mouse, and etc.

Can all people make a virus?

When we will make the virus, we need much knowledge especially about “low degrees language” and the knowledge about operation system. So for the common people it’s so hard to make a virus but it’s possible for the common people to learn how to make it and learn how to anticipate the virus. For the virus that make from “high degrees language”, that’s easier for the people to make the virus without know ASSEMBLY language. You just need only the knowledge that always keeps in your secret.

Until today there is no antivirus that can prohibit the entire virus that spread. That’s because each virus has different work. So to prohibit the virus, the antivirus have to know first how that virus work.

Is it possible if the antivirus be the spreader?

Actually antivirus program is a program that can be infected by the virus. If antivirus was infected by the virus, the antivirus will be the spreader of the virus and it will spread the virus to the other program or the other computer. I suggest you to always save your original antivirus in a clean disk. You have to know that there are antiviruses that can check and clean itself from the virus.

What does the virus usually do?

Nobody knows what the virus usually does really because it’s depend on of the maker of virus. Maybe the virus will display a message or maybe it just duplicates itself. There is also the dangerous virus that can damage your computer system or take your secret data like code. We can say that all of the virus can’t give us advantageous.

What should I do if my computer was infected by the virus?

The first step is don’t panic and backup your important data, but don’t backup the infected data. The second step is try to know the variant of the virus and use the antivirus. Carry on to using local antivirus. Last, if you can’t find the virus, you just can reformat your hard disk with system disk that clean from the virus and reinstall all of your application.

How to keep my computer from ant virus?

You can’t make your computer free 100% from the virus. But there is some tips to keep your computer not infected from the virus:

1. Computer virus is usually spread from the disk or flash disk that use by some computer. So keep watch if you use disk or flash disk together.

2. If you want to install program, make sure that the program is original and have protect or find the installation from CD/DVD.

3. Don’t late stranger person use your computer.

4. Don’t take strange program from the internet.

5. Don’t use anything game, because the game usually is the good media for the virus to spread itself.

6. Use the antivirus program to detect the virus.

7. Always update your antivirus, because the new antivirus always has information from the new variant virus.

Beware of Plastic

2008-09-17T10:43:00.000+08:00

Many people give attention, rumor, gossip and article about the dangerous of plastic. But just a little who pay attention about that dangerous. We usually see plastic in almost the thing around us like bottle, television, compact disc (CD), nail cleaner, car, machine, military tools and etc. many people use plastic because it’s not heavy and it’s cheap. But it’s have a risk for the environment and our family’s healthy. So we have to understand about plastic that safe for us.

What’s the meaning of the symbols that we see on any plastic products?

#1 PETE or PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate)

It always use for transparent plastic bottle like mineral water, juice bottle and almost all drinking bottle. It recommended the bottle with #1 and #2 just once for use. Don’t use it with warm or hot water.

#2 HDPE (High Density Polyethylene)

It always uses for milk bottle. it's colour is white and It same with #1 PET, #2 is recommended for once.

#3 V or PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)

Polyvinyl Chloride is a plastic that so hard to recycle it. We always find this plastic in cling warp and bottles. It contains DEHA that use in cling warp and it can leak and go into fried food if we heating it. PVC is dangerous for kidney and liver.

#4 LDPE (low Density Polyethylene)

It uses for food container and soft bottle. The thing with #4 codes can be recycling and it’s good for something that need flexibility but strong. It can’t be shattered but good for food container.

#5 PP (Polypropylene)

That’s the best choice for plastic especially for drink and food like container. Find this symbol if you buy plastic thing.

#6 PS (Polystyrene)

It always use as a Styrofoam food container. Polystyrene can leak Styrene into the food when Styrene touches the food. Styrene is dangerous for brain and nerve system. You can find styrene from cigarettes smokes, vehicle smokes and building construction material. Many country avoid this plastic like America and China.

#7 other (polycarbonate)

We usually find this plastic on food container and sport drinking bottle. Polycarbonate can spread out it's main material name Bisphenol-A into food and drink and that can damage our hormone system. Be careful.

So know it before late...
