Yeah, this is that post again... about Physicist who made it big in Computer Science, Software Engineering, IT, etc.

Meet Jack Greenfield, former Rational Software Chief Architect who's now working for Microsoft as Architect in Enterprise Tools. Yes, he's the man behind DSL & Software Factories. I Just found out that he graduated in Physics from George Mason University.

wikimu.com, 2 way web untuk berita, opini, suara konsumen, etc
17 November 06 12:48 AM | norman | 1 comment(s)

Ada banyak situs berita. Di Indonesia, yang paling populer adalah www.detik.com.

Ada banyak orang yang punya blog. Termasuk saya. Smile

Tapi, mayoritas situs berita adalah "one way" alias pemilik situs adalah "publisher" dan pembaca bermain pasif sebagai "pembaca". Okay-lah, ada fasilitas comment, but still, "orang biasa" seperti kita-kita tidak bisa publish berita.

Kalau blog, itu ibaratnya kita bikin panggung di "teras depan rumah sendiri", yang "nonton" ya orang yang kenal or kebetulan lewat depan rumah. Bagaimana jika ada site "panggung umum" di "kelurahan" jadi segala post kita (info, opini, uneg-uneg) akan dibaca lebih banyak orang?

Nah, coba check website :wikimu.

Di situ, kita semua bisa post berita, mulai dari peristiwa, gaya hidup, kriminal, lalu lintas, Iptek, layanan publik, opini hingga suara konsume. Memang ada moderasi oleh editor, but editor ini juga kita2 semua setelah melalui proses tertentu. Tentang kualitas content/isi berita atau post itu kembali ke kita semua lagi. Semua dilempar kembali ke komunitas. :wikimu cuma medianya saja.

Salah satu ciri dari site di era Web 2.0 adalah partisipasi dari komunitas, atau "2 way web". Jd, kita2 juga contribute, gak cuma dijejali saja secara sepihak. Model ini sukses banget di wikipedia.

O ya, anda benar benar bisa post anything. Ini contoh salah satu post yang pernah saya lakukan: http://www.wikimu.com/News/DisplayNews.aspx?id=287

So, have a look and give it a try... :wikimu.

Petr Mitrichev, the Google Code Jam 2006 Global Winner
06 November 06 05:44 AM | norman | 4 comment(s)

Meet Petr Mitrichev, a Russian who just won this year's Google Code Jam 2006.

Apparently, he is used to programming competitions. He did Moscow Programming Olympiad, All-Russian Programming Olympiad, International Olimpiad of Informatics (IOI), etc, even won the second place at ACM - ICPC World Finals! Big Smile

He began at age 10 by reading A LOT of Mathematics books. His first programming language was Pascal, and today he does his part time job with C#. Petr studies Mathematics at Moscow State University.

So, if you're into Google Code Jam, you're going to compete with dude like Petr.

Speaking of International Olympiad of Informatics, Indonesia students won this year's Physics Olympiad. What about the Informatics Olympiad? Is there a 'coach' like Yohanes Surya for Programming/Computer Sciene? UI's Suryana Setiawan? Looks lilke he's not as aggressive as Yohanes Surya in Physics.

Anyway, if our students can be at the top of Physics Olympiad, it is make sense that our students too can be at the top of Informatics Olympiad.
