Ive been writing in this small homey space in the internet since 16th November 2007,  a 4 years plus spare time writing experience. If you read some of my early posts and compare it to my recent writings, theres a huge difference in the topic and writing style. Seems like my writing matured along with my personality. How cool is that ? this blog has become my time capsule. Facebook timeline may show how silly my face and appearance was back then, but this blog capture progression of my thoughts, point of view and emotion. Another strong reason why everybody should have their own blog.

Now i decided to take this one step ahead, Linuxgembel blog is officially transformed to Kikiahmadi.com.

Two reason why. First, one of this blog objective is a personal branding. Putting name on the URL on it will make this look more professional. Heres a good post on lifehacker that influenced my action. Second, its really easy to have my own domain name in WordPress. 17 USD per annum deducted from my visa and one hour later kikiahmadi domain name already activated in this blog. No frills, just thrills. Go here if you’re interested.

My internet landing page at about.me

Thanks for everyone who reads my blog, it really means a lot for me. Check out regularly for post about telco, travelling, volunteering or  other awesome stuff. Also do have a look at my internet namecard here in about.me.

Now if you excuse me, i will go have more amazing experience ahead so i can write more amazing stuff here.

Aku tidak ada masalah dengan berbicara di depan publik. Berbekal pengalaman asisten lab, pemandu LKMM, pengkaderan pada saat kuliah dan tentunya meeting demi meeting di kehidupan professionalku, ini bukan sesuatul yang akan membuatku panik berkeringat dingin.

Tapi kali ini berbeda, sangat berbeda. Tanpa persiapan sama sekali, aku bahkan diberitahu untuk berpresentasi hanya beberapa menit sebelum acara. Sebenarnya ini tidak akan terlalu masalah jika saja audiensku hari ini bukanlah anak anak SD.

Mencoba tetap tenang walaupun panik setengah mati

Iya benar, audiens ku adalah anak anak SD Negeri Duripulo 3 Jakarta  kelas 3 sampai kelas 6 dimana satu kelas ada 40 an individu yang aku sama sekali tidak ada ide bagaimana menghadapinya. Parahnya lagi aku harus menjelaskan pekerjaanku sebagai network engineer. Kukira menjelaskanya pada orang tuaku sendiri sudah cukup sulit.

I blame Daft Punk for my interest in electronic music. Imagine you are high schoolers itching to look cool and spent your after school times absorbing musicality through MTV. Hundreds of 90′s boysband videos later then, BAM, out of this world tunes suddenly hit your ears accompanied by anime music videos. Sounds so different, sounds so strange as if it was a received transmission from outer space. Couple of days later you realized what hit you was One More Time by french robotic duo of  Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel. My ears wasnt same again since that.

Started with Daft Punk, then it goes to Chemical Brothers, Basement Jaxx, The Prodigy, Fatboy Slim until the new ones such as Deadmau5, Skrillex and David Guetta. Since i cannot play any musical instruments, back in my school times im dying to take DJ course in order to play music (and attract hot girls). But it would cost me my arm and leg to take the course, i was still broke furthermore. My dream to be the coolest guy in school nicknamed DJ Kiki was buried in the deep along with potential hot girlfriends.

God bless the internet for giving me access to VirtualDJ and plethora of its tutorial on Youtube, i have new hobby now playing with these electro tracks. Check out my mix of eargasmic dirty electro tracks below .

Not bad huh for first try ? what ? it sucks ? whatever man, boot up your own VirtualDJ and show me what you got. Since my old DJ obsession come back to life, now i can wait for the hot girls to swarm around (hell yeah).

Stay tunes here for more mix straight from my office Thinkpad! Why you ask ? because Macbook is too mainstream (and i couldnt afford it).
