So many twitter users don't know how to reply

I don't know if they are only Indonesian twitter users, but some users reply a tweet with RT. Some of them mostly use blackberry twitter client. I don't know if there is no "reply" button or menu there. AFAIK, ubertwitter, the most used twitter client on blackberry has reply menu.

Still they reply it with RT. I'm sick and tired with this, they don't know, if reply with RT will abuse others timeline. People don't want to know your conversations with others, but they did, they expose their conversations to all users' time line who follow him/her.

First post on Drupal blog!

Yes, although this is not the first time I post to Drupal blog, but I feel glad that I move back again. I have moved my blog from Wordpress to Drupal then back to Wordpress again.
I actually enjoy Drupal as my primary content management framework to build several websites. That's why I want to take seriously by using Drupal as my blog engine :)

Create a simple Drupal module with Form API, hook_validate and hook_submit

Drupal has many API we can play with. The most useful API is form API. I'll show how to create a simple Drupal 5 module to add your friend data to database. Just create a MySQL table name "friends" with 3 field: ID, name, and email. Make sure the ID field is auto_increment.

Module can be created under directory: modules or sites/all/modules. I prefer to create new module on sites/all/modules, so our custom module is separated with core module.

It's time to move to Drupal 6

in

I love stable application. After 12 maintenance releases, I move from Drupal 5 to 6 version. I have been waiting from the first release of Drupal 6 hit the street, then it's the time to move forward.

I'm building many websites using drupal, from Drupal 4.7, 5.1x and then now 6.1x, those websites will not be upgraded to 6, because there are many API changes, I realise that when I'm building some websites right now, my custom modules must have an adjustment, especially for API related to theme and form.

Drupal 6 has so many improvements, those improvements can be found by googling ;).

Making money and avoid those mistakes

in

I'm reading status updates from my friends on facebook, sometimes so many information I can get, but sometimes I end up with so many junk posts.
Fire up twitter.com on my mobile phone and found some interesting articles on freelanceswitch.com. It's interesting because even it talks about how to avoid mistakes for men and females freelancer, it can be applied to us as a staff or regular employee.

One thing I emphasize is, you must spend 8 hours a day at your desk, unless you have deadline. You will be more productive in 8 hours and it's guaranteed.

How I survive from good d*mn slow internet connection

in

I'm using 3G unlimited data plan from loco telco here, I'm using it with voice and SMS too. But we know that 3G in Indonesia is not stable at all, it sucks and you can always pull your hair off if you try to use it.

With on IDR 100,000 or around USD 9, every month, I can browse to site, upload via FTP and SSH to server, but sometime you must be patient to wait for loongg idle connection.

I don't want to address any complaints, moving to other telco company is another bad options. All telco is sucks. I come with solution and survive with this limitation.

Why I'm using Wordpress for my blogging tool instead Drupal?

in

You may laugh at me. I'm Drupal specialist but using Wordpress for my blogging tool, LOL, but seriously I'm building this website with Wordpress with some reasons as follows:
1. Wordpress is designed only for blogging tool, although Wordpress can be extended as a Content Management System.
2. Drupal has blogging tool, I know I can use that but it's better for multi user blogging like Wordpress MU has.

Built entirely with Drupal, some engines being written manually because of Flash animation requirement. A great collaboration between Magnivate as Interactive Boutique Agency and Interaction Indonesia. I set up this site from its predecessor: xpressmusicquiz.com. You can enjoy playlist generator, playlist hunting and send animated character. It will have a facebook application later on.
