I Hate Kids!! Alas, yet a victory today
Feb 16

Srot.. srot.. not feeling good these days, been having disease compilation consisting fever, flu, cough, and hiccups. I felt terrible lately, especially the first time i open my eyes in the morning.. terrible. Maybe because I’m at my physical limit here or maybe my physical condition is just being in it’s bad mood because I haven’t been taking care of it very well. My only time to exercise is when I walk to take a shower or go to the office, which doesn’t really help on the calories even though I don’t really eat that much anymore. Ow well, guess I should take more exercise :D I have scheduled to have a tennis table practice every Saturday at 8-11 with Sjarief 99, Pak Madja and Pendi of Fasilkom Security, let’s just hope I would be awake at that time..

Well anyway, I wanna talk about some site that I stumbled on my way here, one is full of motivations and the other took about 84 millions rupiah to build and another 44 every month to maintain. The first site is The Blog of Kibrotoi, it’s a blog which contains postings from several mailing lists which is divided into several categories. I personally love the Inspirational and Motivational thought category. It’s for fresh graduates who are stepping on their track to career. I’ve downloaded all of the articles that I could download and will read it tonight, hope I have the time to do so.

The second site is The President’s Blog!, it’s also a “blog” containing what he is and will be doing. Honestly it’s a good thing and it proves that our president is quite aware of the use of technology and use the “trend sesaat” -as quoted from Roy Suryo- to his needs. What I don’t understand is that why o why it took about 84 MILLION RUPIAH to make! Okay, I know that there are many other sites that cost more than that and because website is my line of business, I appreciate the cost of making such beautiful site. What’s bugging me is the monthly cost which is about 44 million rupiah! Gosh.. I can’t believe my eyes here. The details shows that the money goes to 3 of reporter for 12 millions, and 3 technical maintenance people from Air Putih for 4 millions. Meaning the rest of it (which is 28 fr*ck*n Millions) goes to PT. Telkom for hiring their server. Could somebody explain why in hell does hiring a server cost that much cash?!?!

Maybe they are not aware of the price or maybe they did protest about the price but they’re blind from the truth about it. But they are accompanied by EXPERTS of IT like Heru Nugroho, Roy Suryo, Budiono Darsono, dan Made Wiryawan. Ups, did I see Roy Suryo?? Maybe that explains everything.. Hi Roy! (c)

    bukannya teknisi-nya 3*4 juta ya ?? jadi total 12 juta .. jadi buat ke telkom 20 juta ??
    it’s quite reasonable actually.. believe me, i know ..
    buat bayar listrik sama bayar bandwidth aja udah mahal.. mestinya bisa ditekan lebih jauh sih kalo mau ngecilin bandwitdh ke LN.. dengan asumsi yg akses kebanyakan dari INA ..

    still.. even hiring a dedicated server would only cost about 3-5 millions a month and that comes with 2000 GB of bandwidth (taken from a3plusmedia)

    Itu emang dia pengen gaya aja punya server sendiri lagi, trus bikin kantor sendiri lagi, ngabis2in pajak kita doang. Ga mikirin penekanan biaya, padahal server di bappenas masih banyak space tu nganggur.. ga tau de ditempat laen…

    2000GB ?? itu dihitung volume ?? bandwidth-nya berapa ?? UI yang ‘cuman’ 10Mbps aja setiap bulannya 100 jt lebih …
    kok bikin kantor sendiri ?? khan ditaro di telkom..

  4. 4. Kuy Says:

    2000 GB tu total bandwidthnya per bulan cun (cek sendiri di websitenya aja). UI kan 10Mbps untuk koneksi, bukan bikin website doang. I still think that that’s just too much for just a blog, even the president’s

    hehe.. salah kuy.. 2000 GB itu bukan bandwidth.. tapi space di HD yang dikasih ke kita.. coba aja.. buat bandwidth khan satuannya bit bukan byte.. and 1.6Tbps is a bit too much :p
    katanya sih .. bandwidth yang dikasih lebih besar daripada detik.com .. nah gw yakin detik.com punya bandwidth lebih besar dari 10Mbps..

    salah cun ehehehe, liat ini de:

    Gw rasa yang dia maksud dengan bandwidth disitu tu total MB yang diperbolehkan dalam satu bulan de, dan 2 TB kan cukup reasonable untuk harga segitu. Dan disitu ditulis juga kalo HD spacenya 2 x 250 GB.
