Using Wordpress as CMS
Technology 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.

Portable Applications
Life OpenSource Technology 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.
