Tips: Menyelamatkan HP yang 'berenang' tercelup air
Sharing. Pernah mengalami handphone (HP) Anda jatuh ke bak mandi? Ato nyemplung ke kolam? Ato terendam karena masih di kantong celana? Suatu saat nanti bila musibah seperti ini menimpa Anda, jangan panik, HP tercinta Anda masih bisa diselamatkan. Ini pengalaman pribadi: 2 minggu yang lalu, HP Nokia 9300i saya ikutan nyebur ke kolam renang. Walhasil si HP kontan langsung mati peett.. Tips berikut ini telah saya coba dan berhasil shg HP bisa digunakan seperti sedia kala.
1. Setelah tercebur air, jangan coba-coba ON-kan HP karena malah bisa berakibat rangkaian menjadi konslet.
2. Segera lepaskan bateray, simcard dan cover HP. Tujuannya adalah utk menjangkau sedalam mungkin bagian HP.
3. Keringkan HP selama 2-3 hari. Cara mengeringkan bisa dengan menjemur atau menggunakan hair-dryer. HP saya ketika itu saya masukkan dalam bagasi dan mobil dipanggang di bawah terik matahari.
4. Setelah pengeringan, coba ON-kan. Dan.... thing thung... HP Anda kembali bisa digunakan.
Bila tips ini tidak mempan mengobati HP Anda, silahkan hubungi 'dokter'.... Wassalam.

CFP: TENCON 2009 S'Pore
TENCON is a premier international technical conference of IEEE Region 10, also referred as the Asia Pacific Region, comprises of 56 Sections, 5 Councils, 8 Sub-sections, 334 Chapters and 490 student branches. Held annually since 1980, TENCON provides an important forum for researchers and engineers from the industries, and professors and graduate students from the academia to network and to discuss new ideas and development in emerging areas of electrical and electronic engineering, computers science and related topics.
TENCON 2009 will be held in Singapore during November 23-26, 2009. The conference will feature plenary / invited talks by eminent scientists and engineers, tutorials, paper presentations, poster sessions and industrial exhibits. The main theme of the conference is related to novel and innovative technologies that bring about societal changes for good. An interesting feature of this conference is the student design contest being organized in all subject areas relevant to the conference.
The Proceedings of TENCON2009 will be included in IEEE Xplore and indexed by ISI Proceedings, EI Compendex.

How are universities ranked?
Januari lalu, Webomatrics, salah satu pengeluar ranking universitas dunia, menempatkan UGM di nomer yg cukup membanggakan. Nomer 64 bo...., tertinggi diantara universitas indonesia lainnya. Sampai-sampai DIKTI pun menggunakan ranking ini sbg referensi, lihat aja di halaman depan http://www.dikti.go.id. Siapa dulu dong Menteri nya? hehehe...
Sebagai alumni, salut deh buat UGM. Tapi sebenarnya, menurut saya yg hebat adalah 'TIM WEB UGM', bukan UGM itu sendiri. Loh kok ngono? Iyo, karena Webomatrics adalah 'world universities' ranking on the web'. Artinya Tim Web UGM telah berhasil 'memamerkan UGM' dalam dunia maya, ya to?
"Lha nek dudu ranking sing neng web, UGM ki nomer piro le?"
"Wah susah njawabnya mbak.. :-("
Sebenarnya banyak sekali ranking universitas yg dibuat oleh berbagai institusi, baik lokal maupun internasional, bisa di-refer di sini. Universitas2 di Malaysia banyak me-refer dan berusaha menaikkan ranking universitas versi THES, the Times Higher Education Supplement. Indonesia (baca: DIKTI) dengan Webomatrics-nya. Tiap-tiap versi ranking punya pendekatan masing-masing, yg meliputi criteria, indikator dan bagaimana measurement process nya.
Sebagai contoh, coba kita copy-paste criteria yg dipake oleh tiga versi peranking yg cukup dikenal: THES, Shanghai (ARWU) dan Webomatrics. Yg terakhir dipilih karena ini yg dipakai DIKTI.
1. THES-QS
Detail-nya, silahkan baca di sini.
2. Shanghai (Academic Ranking of World Universities). Baca lengkap di sini.
3. Webomatrics
Size (S). Number of pages recovered from four engines: Google, Yahoo, Live Search and Exalead. For each engine, results are log-normalised to 1 for the highest value. Then for each domain, maximum and minimum results are excluded and every institution is assigned a rank according to the combined sum. --> 50%
Visibility (V). The total number of unique external links received (inlinks) by a site can be only confidently obtained from Yahoo Search, Live Search and Exalead. For each engine, results are log-normalised to 1 for the highest value and then combined to generate the rank. --> 20%
Rich Files (R). After evaluation of their relevance to academic and publication activities and considering the volume of the different file formats, the following were selected: Adobe Acrobat (.pdf), Adobe PostScript (.ps), Microsoft Word (.doc) and Microsoft Powerpoint (.ppt). These data were extracted using Google and merging the results for each filetype after log-normalising in the same way as described before. --> 15%
Scholar (Sc). Google Scholar provides the number of papers and citations for each academic domain. These results from the Scholar database represent papers, reports and other academic items. --> 15%
Nah, sekarang kita bisa lihat, bagaimana mereka menentukan ranking tersebut. Sungguh sangat beda. Perbedaan criteria dan weighting sangat berpengaruh pada hasil ranking.
"Lha terus versi mana yg kita sebaiknya ikuti le?"
"Wah itu tergantung demand mas..."
Maksudnya, masa' ya UGM mo ngikuti ranking versi THES ato Shanghai, ga bakalan ketemu kalau sampeyan nyari. Buktiin di sini dan situ. Saya memahami bahwa dalam rangka 'image building', memang betul langkah DIKTI utk menggunakan versi Webomatrics, karena di versi inilah nama unversitas2 indonesia (paling tidak) muncul. Dan saya faham juga kenapa UKM selalu nge-push postgraduate students utk publish di journal impak tinggi.
Wis berhenti mbaca blog, mari kita lanjutin nulis paper utk submit ke high-impact-journal....!
