Some months ago I moved my “coffee blog” to CAFE.VC. Then last month I used the previous domain — KOEN.CC — for my “travelling blog”

My blogging history
. SD: started writing an irregular daily brief logs. SMP: two logs — brief version and diary version. SMA: changed the diary to letters to a fictional friend called X. Uni: stop . Notebook version: a DOS-based script for daily personal notes — 1 file for one ‘blog’ entry; plus Tumblr-like paper-based log book. Internet: self developed script for online version of daily personal notes. Blogger: had a directory under koen.komunikasi.org (then replaced by kun.co.ro) for Blogger-engined online journal. WordPress: moved the blog to the main page of kun.co.ro; made some thematic blogs. Now: blogging at kun.co.ro, kuncoro.com, and other blogs, aggregated at koen.web.id; plus Twitter @kuncoro, Tumblr (koen.asia), etc. -

The more a man becomes aware, through reflection, of his servile condition, the more indignant he becomes, the more the anarchist spirit of freedom, determination and action waxes inside him. That is true of every individual, man or woman, even though they may never have heard of the word “anarchism” before. –Nestor Makhno

It’s funny to realise that some sites are managed in adaptation with the equipment. And I mean the gadget
. KOEN.SU was created for mobile blogging. I typed this blog with my old Nokia 9300. It has a minimal number of apps. I worked with Opera Mini. So I found it was easier to type the blog entries on-site like this, with P2 themes of WordPress, without having to log in.
But then came iPhone. With many apps. I have a great WordPress app, so I can blog to any WordPress-based blogs as easy as typing my entries here. I have a fantastic Tumbr app, so I can send my text and pictures easily. So I created KOEN.ASIA (was KOEN.IM) for my mobile tumblelog. Since I still have KOEN.SU, I use KOEN.ASIA only for pictures. And, ugh, I still have KUNCORO.CO.UK as my classic tumblelog (non-Tumblr).
Not an elegant approach, I must admit. -

I don’t think I would pay $13 to renew KOEN.IM. Last year I only paid $3. Maybe I have a bit personal attachment to Isle of Man, the state of which CCTLD IM belongs to. This is an island, located between the Britain island and the Ireland, and governed under the British Crown, but is excluded from the United Kingdom (which means: it is not governed by the British Parliament). I might plan to visit this unique island, with its celtic culture. But that’s another story. For now, I guess, I have to terminate my domain.
My tumblr page now has a new domain: KOEN.ASIA -

I plan to visit Malang on June 19th. Will provide an IEEE lecture on new convergence in my almamater: Brawijaya University. The term new convergence here refers to nth phase of digital convergence, in which we have to determine the position of IMS against SDP, SOA, Web 2.0, CDN of IPTV, etc. All digital IP-based network infrastructure and platform; yet without clear path of integration.

eMail, eFax, eGovernment, eElection, but also iTunes, iPhone, iMobile, etc. We’d say i represents the Internet, one step ahead of Electronics. Also i represents personality, humanness *heh* or I-ness.
But honestly, I always read e as transcendental, and i as imaginary. So, are you working in unexplainable and irrational projects, or imaginary ones? Or both

In a week I haved moved the major non-personal sites that I manage: IEEE Indonesia Section, Comsoc Indonesia Chapter, Santri Indigo, Bagimu Guru, and Plasa Indigo. For the IEEE and Comsoc, I need a more secure host, and for the others I need a less secure but more flexible host. All sites were also redesigned. Now I will revive my old techwiki too.
Maybe I also need to redesign my personal blogs

The same night last week, I was crossing the South China Sea. I just attended the IEEE Region 10 Meeting (Asia-Pacific) on Mactan Island, Cebu, Philippines; and then lead my way to WICON (Wireless Technology Conference) in Singapore. The interesting things about Cebu Meeting are the commitment to reform, both the organisation of the IEEE and its approaches to the members and the community. IEEE will be redirected back as the professional organisation that focuses not only to the academic world. Technology will focus on ones that are relevant to the present and to humanity.
Unfortunately the transitions of the month and the country resulted to unattractive effect. Unusually, Singapore greeted me not very friendly. The arrogance of the academics was still felt. I was not complaining. But I realised there are works to do together. C’mon,let’s improve, enhance, and promote the organisation and our profession. -

Last night BBC interviewed me, again, via international voice. The previous ones were about Twitter, Tumbler, Nexus 1 (which I then forwarded to Aulia); and last night it was about 4G mobile. In my lectures I must explain it, in compressed version, in no less than 90 minutes. But now I only had 5-10 minutes to explain all aspects, in basic, to the listener. It was the 1st time I asked for a repeat to explain the concept, and accepted by Mr Arifin, the interviewer. In 10 minutes, I discussed the 4G requirements: data rate, cognitive spectrum, backward compatibility, OFDMA, MIMO, and other concept.
I don’t think I would ever listen to the result of the interview. I hardly have time to listen to the radio or to watch TV.
