Baihaqi’s Family

I write this post using Windows Live Writer. Pretty cool, and I wanna see how it goes.

This plugin is really good. It allows you to insert video from You Tube or Google Video into a post. It’s easy to use. Get it from here:

When I was asked to build the website for the Monash Indonesian Islamic Society, it took me a while to think what kind of CMS should I use for it. Then I was thinking that Wordpress might be easier for the website owner and editors alike to administer the website. I knew that wordpress is mainly used for blogging, but I found in Wordpress forum that some people usign it for content management system (CMS) for non blog website. Ahaa. I got an idea. Then I started making mock-up of the web site on the paper and also digging on wordpress forum to find suitable plugins. I designed it durign my spare time in the early Ramadan this year. I didn’t create the theme form a blank code, instead I just tweaked the default Kurbick Theme.
Once it finished, I sent YM to the president of the society, telling him that the website has been built. Soon, he sent an email to the our mailing list, announcing the website.

A few days later, someone from Indonesian Muslim Community of Victoria, approached me to re-design the IMCV website. I said “why not?”. Then I designed its mock-up and implemented using the tweaked theme from the previous one.

Some of you may remember the computer era in the the old days during late 80’s. Ok.. if you do remember, have a think what sorts of software application were around? There were Wordstar for word processing, Lotus 123 for spreadsheet, and some programming tools such as Turbo Pascal and so on. Microsft windows was not so famous as today. Hard drive was so expensive. So, most of computers did not have hard drives. To run the computer, we just inserted a 5,25″ floppy disk of operating system. Once in run, we just need to insert another floppy disk to run applications. To write a letter, just plug in a floppy disk contains Wordstar then just type: WS in the command prompt. Then it will bring you to editor screen. So simple. The same thing also apply if you want to make calculation on spreedsheet, insert a Lotus 123 floppy disk then type “123″ and it runs. To do programming, insert a Turbo Pascal floppy disk then type “turbo” then jot down your logic of programm on the editor.
All those applications on that days didnot need to be installed as they do today. We can just carry floppy disks contain those applications and plug in to the any computer when we need them.

Can we do the same mechanism today? sure you can. This is called as Portable Applications. There are various application ranging from Office, Messengers, Internet browsers, Email clients and so on. I believe a lot more application will be put on. So go on get it for free from this web site.
Using 5,25″ floppy disks? of course not. Now, we can use any portable storage device such as USB flash drive, portable hard drives, or even your iPod/MP3 players. What you need to do as just download applications that you need, extract them on your portable storage device and just plug in to any computer.

I’m afraid that words are not sufficient to express or represent ur feelin or thoughts. If only what’s somebody’s mind con be transferred to others or just beaming like transferring data via bluetooth, we’ll end up with exactly the same copy of mind.

For instance, I want to express my feelin to my huband with this poem:

To My Dear and Loving Husband

If ever two were one, then surely we.
If ever man were lov’d by wife, then thee.
If ever wife was happy in a man,
Compare with me, ye women, if you can.
I prize thy love more than whole Mines of gold,
Or all the riches that the East doth hold.
My love is such that Rivers cannot quench,
Nor ought but love from thee give recompense.
Thy love is such I can in no way repay;
The heavens reward thee manifold I pray.
Then while we live, in love lets so persever,
That when we live no more, we may live ever.

Anne Bradstreet (1612-72)

It might be that my husband only knows that I love him, never know how deep it is.

As you can see on the header of this blog, the romantic theme of this web site is inspired by the Adam Sandler’s song “I wanna grow old with you”. This theme becomes our supplication. We believe that this is the spirit meaning of love, it’s about caring each other, with love we commit to share the moments till the end of time. May Allah bless us.

I wanna make you smile,
Whenever you’re sad.
Carry you around when your arthritis is bad.
All I wanna do,
Is grow old with you.

I’ll get you medicine,
When your tummy aches.
Build you a fire if the furnace breaks.
Oh it could be so nice,
Growin’ old with you.

I’ll miss you, kiss you,
Give you my coat when you are cold.
Need you, feed you.
Even let you hold the remote control.
So let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink.
Put you to bed when you’ve had too much to drink.
Oh I could be the man,
Who grows old with you.

I wanna grow old with you.
