Hi.. this post is written in Office 2007

In my office we use Microsoft Office as default office application. Sometimes i think why we rarely use free office like OpenOffice from sun, and the clearly answer is Office 2007 more powerfull than OpenOffice 3.0. One of this features is post your blog. In ubuntu i have try some blog posting application, but maybe because I am familiar with Word GUI, so write in Office Word 2007 is more interesting. You must first set your blog account, there some blog provider that support in Office 2007 such as Blogger, Wordpress, Windows Live Space, Typepad, and the others. For caution when you add a account, this blog and password was saved in office, and other people can use it. After that u can write title, and main page, add a category, picture, symbol, smart art, or see how much words you have wrote.

Some check spelling can easily use to make a good grammar sentences. Unfortunately in Blogger, you must write the url as picture hosting (you can get this URL when you upload picture manually), in wordpress it will automatically post in wordpress hosting. The second is you can't add tag or label in your post, so you must edit again your blog to add label or tag.

Open Source GIS in Linux

If we talk the application GIS that power full in the world for me is ArcGIS from ESRI. But this software is very expensive and to get some training in this application. So there is another alternatife open source? the answer is YES. But the true is every open source application have very dissapoint in one or two GIS component.
The GIS Component is :

1. Input Data
2. Manajemen Data
3. Manipulating and Analysis Data
4. Output Data

So this isthe best Major Favorite Open Source GIS Application :

1. GRASS

Good in Manipulating and Analysis Data Remote Sensing, lack on GUI













2. QGIS

Good in GUI and Input Data, lack on Output Data, and take some help addition other applications.










3. PostGIS and PostgreSQL

Application for Manajemen Data GIS











4. GPSBabel

To manage GPS Data










5. UDig

GIS Application that build from JAVA, niceGUI but running slowly











6. Thuban

Like QGIS, User Friendly Oriented











7. and many other you can see in http://opensourcegis.org

You can combine all of thats application above to make your GIS Software System rather than spent high cost to buy Commercial GIS. But if you need integrated and high demand on powerfull software, I just supposed advice ESRI as best GIS Application and use Windows as OS.

Linux Vs Windows = Obama Vs Biden

It's really america.. whit its power to attractive all billion people in the world with its news about election, hmm.. I think, its absorb in there too. There amazing similarity in this election with my theme is now i have to think back to choose where is my Default Operating System. Why I think like that?? Its because yesterday, my boss give me a task to make a software for some weather station in provinces. There some criteria that include in this software, that is ability to running in their OS, and whats is the bad news?? It is they use windows for OS.. So as beginner programmer, I have to learn again about programming in windows.. Let's go to Visual Basic.. Oh this tool have a huge growing, totally it's truth I have forget all about them.. Why i am go for this far?? Actually I love visual basic then another language, because its give a simplicity programming. More than Java, Python, and other, or in Big View we can see there similarity between Windows and Linux.It could say where do you choose simplicity or advence. Some times I just go want to open my laptop and do something easy..There is so similarity between US Citizen too choose who is their leader. Mc Cain with his simplicity to keep US same like years a go.. or Obama with many his opinion to change US and the world and give some extra work. But today US Citizen will give his voice where is the way that they choose. I think I have to choose to Windows or My Ubuntu.
