Private Apartment - residential unit located in a building occupied by more than one residential unit, built by non-governmental entities. When people refer to Private Apartment, usually it means those with less communal facilities. (see condominium)

Condominium - type of private apartment, with full communal recreational facilities (like swimming pool, tennis court, BBQ pit, etc).
Most of Condominiums and Private Apartments come with good finishing, and usually have car park space, 24hrs security surveillance, intercom systems and sometimes even home automation systems. They start from as small as 450 square feet to as large as 8,000 square feet.

The types of units in private apartments and condominiums are
studio room units - A small apartment usually consisting of one main living space, a small kitchen, and a bathroom.
1 bedroom units
1+1 - 1 bedroom units with 1 maid / study room
2 bedroom units
2+ 1 - 2 bedroom units with 1 maid / study room (2+1)
3 bedroom units
3+ 1 - 3 bedroom units with 1 maid / study room (3+1)
4 bedroom units
4 + 1 - 4 bedroom units with 1 maid / study room (4+1)
Penthouses - A large residential unit located at the highest level of a building with a roof garden.
Maisonette - A 2-level residential unit in a building. The adjoining floors of the units are connected by an internal staircase in the house.

Walk-Up Apartment - residential unit in a building generally 4 to 5 storeys or less. The units on the upper floors are accessible by staircase only as no lifts are provided.

Strata Title is a form of ownership devised for multi-level apartment blocks, which have apartments at different levels or “strata”.

Strata Title Schemes are composed of lots and common property. Lots are either apartments, garages or storerooms etc and are shown on the title as being owned by the Lot Owners. Common Property is defined as everything else on the parcel of land that is not comprised in any lot, such as common stairwells, driveways, roofs and gardens etc.

Landed Properties
Residential units with individual ground contact. Types of landed properties:
Bungalow / Detached House -A landed house standing on its own without sharing any common wall or roofing.
Linked House - One of a pair landed houses joined by a common wall separating the car porches of the 2 houses. This common wall is the side wall of the car porches.
Semi Detached -One of a pair landed houses joined by a common wall rising from ground to roof level. This common wall is the side wall of the rooms of the 2 house.
Terrace House - A landed house in a row of not less than 3 houses. Being in between 2 houses, it has 2 common walls.
Corner Terrace House - Tha landed house at the end of a row of terrace houses that normally has a larger land area compared to the other terrace house.
Cul-De-Sac House - A landed house at the end of a large turnaround dead-end road.
Town House - One in a row of not less than 3 residential units having ground contact and common ownership of the land.
Cluster Housing - a hybrid between conventional landed housing and condominium housing. All units have ground contact but with shared facilities similar to those found in condominiums. Cluster housing therefore have Strata Titles.

Leasehold is a form of property tenure where one party buys the right to occupy land or a building for a given length of time. Until the end of the lease period (often measured in decades - a 99 year lease is quite common) the leaseholder has the right to remain in occupation. Leasehold properties can be bought and sold on the open market.

Freehold is the right in a property to hold it with a perpetual right. In freehold right there is no limit of time to hold the property like in case of leasehold. Also known as “Fee simple” ownership.

A few month ago, I focused on burning my belly fat by practicing sit up 200 times (100 times using sit up bench with 4 sets of 25 reps (repetitions) and 100 times using sit up equipment).

I always do a cardio when start workout. I start running with 85% of my maximum heart rate for 20 minutes. I practice 3 times in a week and I’m losing 3 kg in the next 2 months.

Now I’m living in a new place which has the limitation equipment. But still need to do some work out to keep the shape. And I’m thinking of new training method which is, stomach crunch and reverse crunch. The stomach crunch works for your lower stomach (or should I say “lower abs”),

How to do it?

1. Lie down on the floor with your legs bent, your feet flat on the floor. If you prefer, you can keep your legs bent at a 90 degree angle so that the bottom of your feet are vertical.
2. Place your hands on the back of your head, or if you prefer, cross them over your chest.
3. Lift your shoulder blades off the ground, moving your elbows towards your knees. Don’t try to lift your whole back - just your shoulder blades.
4. Squeeze your abs for a second.
5. Slowly return to the starting position.
6. Repeat steps 3 - 5 until you’ve completed the desired number of reps.

The Reverse Crunches. How to do it?

1. The reverse crunches works for your lower abs.
2. Lie down on the floor with your legs in the air and bent slightly with your ankles crossed.
3. Place your arms on the floor beside you, with your palms to the floor.
4. Keeping your back straight, slowly raise your hips off the ground.
5. Hold for about 2 - 3 seconds, squeezing your abs muscles. Make sure your back is straight and your head is on the floor.
6. Slowly return to the starting position.
7. Repeat steps 3 - 5 until you’ve completed the desired number of reps.

I will try to start for 4 sets of 25 reps (repetitions). I hope to see good results in a few weeks.

Windows XP is the OS that we used here.

Before start anything else, you need this tool which is called GPSCtrl.exe to activate or deactivate your built in GPS. This tool can be obtain freely from here

Garmin’s software needs some specific hardware device, which is, Garmin GPS, to used. To overcome this limitation, we will harness the power of Franson GPSGate. The problem is, Garmin Mobile PC (GMPC) is not able to recognize the ‘virtual com port’ created by GPSGate. Again we will try to solve this problem with the use of com0com free utility.

Impatient way

1. Prepare all the software mentioned above.
2. Extract GPSCtrl to C:\Tools folder
3. Install com0com. After installation, this utility will automatically add 2 virtual com ports, CNCA0 and CNCB0. Rename the port to any com number with setup (GUI interface). For me, I rename it into COM25 for CNCA0 and COM26 for CNCB0
4. Install GPSGate, cancelled the setup wizard if it appear
5. Activate the GPS with gpsOn.bat from the gpsCtrl utility
6. Run GpsGate.
7. At the input tab, choose COM2 (This should be the default port your internal GPS connected to). Click Run. If nothing wrong, you should see “Running OK!” and “GPS data is coming in.” Also at the system tray, you’ll see the icon’s color is yellow.
8. At the output tab add “COM Port” (NOT VIRTUAL or GARMIN emulated), and assigned to COM25 (was CNCA0).
9. Reboot the computer.
10. Activate GPS, run GpsGate then install and run GMPC
11. Stop the auto detection of GPS from Settings > System > Remote GPS > Disable
12. Choose serial port aka COM26 (was CNCB0) and click Enable
13. Your Garmin should be able to get connected to GPS for now.

So, the flow is like the diagram below

INTERNAL GPS -> GpsGate -> COM25 (CNCA0) -> COM26 (CNCB0) -> GMPC

GpsGate => to emulate Garmin GPS to run with Garmin software

com0com => NULL COM Port emulator

This article is using the open source PBX Asterisk to setup a SIP account properly on the mobile phone. Use Nokia Series N81 to write this mobile configuration. Some of other mobile series will have different settings, therefore the configuration for different SIP servers may be similar.

Things you need to do is enable voip internet phone at your mobile phone
1. Your mobile phone must have WIFI connection that can connect to wireless access point .
2. Wireless account point connected to internet with open port UDP 5060
3. Asterisk / SIP Server username password

SIP Server /Asterisk Settings

We can use public VOIP or we can create our own SIP Server. In the next article, I will write more technical things about how to configure your own SIP Server / Asterisk. This article is written when the SIP Server is already installed

Create a new SIP account on the Asterisk / SIP Server

Add following setting to sip.conf (the username “agushalim” is just used for example!):
username=agushalim
type=friend
secret=SIP
qualify=no
port=5060
notransfer=yes
host=dynamic
context=from-internal
disallow=all
allow=alaw

SIP realm

The realm for digest authentication is set defaults to “asterisk”. Otherwise please verify your active realm in sip.conf.

Mobile Phone Settings

Navigate to Tools - Settings - Connection - SIP settings

Open the Options menu and select Add new - Use default profile :
Profile name : Asterisk
Service profile : IETF
Default access point : your WIFI / wireless access point
Public user name : sip:agushalim@SIP Server(SIP : username@domain or IP address)
Use compression : No
Registration : Always on
Use security : No

Proxy server
Proxy server address : sip: SIP Server (SIP : IP address of your asterisk / sip server)
Realm : asterisk (or realm of your asterisk)
Username : agushalim (Your SIP username)
Password : SIP (Your SIP password)
Allow loose routing : Yes
Transport type : UDP
Port : 5060

Registrar server
Registrar server address : sip: SIP Server (SIP : IP address of your asterisk / sip server)
Realm : -
Username : agushalim (Your SIP username)
Password : SIP (Your SIP password)
Transport type: UDP
Port: 5060

Now, navigate to Tools - Settings - Connection - SIP Settings / Internet telephone settings and create a new profile in the Options menu with the following settings:
Name: Default
SIP profiles: previously defined profile
Default call type

To switch between normal GSM calls or VOIP calls, navigate to Tools - Settings - Call - Default call type.

Select Cellular to make normal calls to the phone number or Internet to use VOIP to call the number or address.

In my opinions, the only drawback of asterisk is that you need a really reliable network connection. Other than that, maybe the price of the IP Phone might be taken into consideration too, since the price is still higher if we compared to analog phone. But with that price, you can get additional feature that the analog phone doesn’t have, for example, video conference. Oh, and I forgot to mention that you will also need the skill to configure it.

Now, I’m here to talk about the benefit or advantageous as the pro’s of an Asterisk system compared to analog or even digital PBX system, so let’s get to it.

Asterisk is a VoIP (Voice over IP) telephony system based on IP (Internet Protocol). Therefore, for long distance call, you can have a very cheap communication channels. So the first advantage is the price you paid for communication will be reduced. For corporate which has distributed branches around the world, you can reduce voice communication cost significantly.

The next benefit of Asterisk compared to traditional PBX system (analog or digital) is you have unlimited dial plan. With traditional PBX, maybe you have to press certain key(s) to be able to make a call. With Asterisk, you can directly press the destination number without the need to press certain key(s) beforehand. This is the true advantageous over the traditional PBX system, especially when you have two or more PBX units involved.

From my own experience, in the company where I’m working at, we have 3 separated sites with 3 PBX units and all of them are different series. So, let’s say call from site ‘A’ to site ‘B’ started with pressing some keys to get a line (let’s say ‘88′). Call from site ‘A’ to site ‘C’ required pressing ‘30′. To simplify this for users, the call from site C to site B should also be started with ‘30′, but on the contrary, since the PBX units involved is from different series, so they have different kind of policy programmed inside and we can’t just do that. We have to dial ‘40′. Can you imagine, for an international call, you need to enter different country code if you are dialing from different country? With Asterisk, all I have to do is just programmed the extensions pattern in it, and then all users have to do to be able to make a call is to press the destination extensions directly without the need to know where they are.

Other pros of Asterisk compared to traditional PBX (from the point of view of a technical perspective). Brief of another benefits are: unlimited dial plan, answering machine, voice mail that can forwarded to your email, Interactive Menu, and still much more.

You should bear in mind that this is an open source software, so you have unlimited of choice to develop your own system.

Ever heard about Asterisk? If you think about Asterix and Obelix, forget it. Or maybe you think about the symbol on the top of character 8 on the keyboard, forget about it too.

The Asterisk which I talked about here is a piece of software from Digium and run under Linux, which is intended to change the function of manual analog PBX.

With Asterisk, you can communicate with others via Local Area Connection or maybe through the internet, as if making normal phone call. This technology is known with VoIP (Voice over IP).

Some might said that we already have IM (Instant Messaging) for that purpose. Yes, you might see it that way, but you will never be able to call, for example 42521, with IM. With proper device and configuration you can call mobile phones and/or analog phones from your computer.

That’s it for now, I will continue on my next post. Please stay with me, for this is my first post. But I will feel glad try my best to answer any question you might have.

The term Search Engine Optimization often also coined as “SEO” which is a scientific process of pulling up the rank of a website, to receive free organic traffic or visibility at the search engines.

Normally it is achieved over a period of time, because it is not a quick fix like PPC (a.k.a Pay per Click) campaigns where you pay for your traffic. It takes time, effort and a lot of trial and error before hitting to the first page of Google.

SEO experts who teach and implement SEO have various ideas regarding the same. But usually, it is the Giant itself (Google) who actually filters the results based on complicated algorithms structured and engineered by it from time to time.

Therefore it is not just one way for getting there at the top. Because as Google tried to be smarter at providing quality results to its users, it constantly updates and restructures its algorithms based on which results are delivered to the users. That means the bots cannot be fooled like they were before.

Nobody can be out rightly claimed as “The Certified Expert” of SEO. It is always based on various techniques and tools that the experts implement to pull up a site among the notable few at the Google search. So while shedding your hard earned money on SEO, do a small research on the organization that you think, to hand over your job to. That would save your time and reduce stress later when it becomes a recurring expense.

Online branding has come a long way since the advent of the internet. And today SEO has become an industry in itself and perhaps it is the SEO which has leveled the field for the Big and the Small.

Companies and industries of any size can fight for their rank on basis of their intelligence and by employing the right tools to prove their matters at the search engines. No one is left behind in this game. And to make matters worse, there is no secret to it.

All you need to add to your site is a Windows Icon (.ico) file called favicon.ico that you upload to the main directory of your website.

Download the Plug-in.
If you are using Photoshop, you’ll need the Windows Icon (ICO) file format with Photoshop Plug-in. You can download the plug-in from Telegraphic. The plug-in reads and writes ICO files in 1, 4 and 8-bit indexing and 24-bit RGB modes, and also reads and writes 32-bit “XP” icons (with 8-bit alpha channel). Make sure to install the plug-in before you begin this tutorial.

Let’s Begin
Because 16 x 16 is such a small canvas area, it can be very difficult to be created. So instead of that, let’s start your project with a canvas and set at 64 x 64 (always use even multiples when you plan on resizing files). Do this by selecting File>New, and open a new canvas that is 64 x 64 pixels in size.

The Design
If you already have a logo then you should reduce it to the 16 x 16 size to see if it is enough to hold up. If it doesn’t look good at this size, work with the 64 x 64 canvas and try creating a simple design that incorporates colors from your web site’s palette.

When you’re ready to test the design, select Image>Image Size menu and enter 16 x 16. Click on resample Image and choose “Bicubic Sharper” from the drop-down menu (CS only for this step). This is the best setting to make sure that an image doesn’t blur as it’s being resized.

If you feel the icon is not quite suitable with what you want, just keep tweaking it until it is perfect. At this tiny size it can take a few tries before you get it right.

Saving The Custom Icon

Go to File>Save As and make sure you name the file with ico extension. Under Format, you must choose Windows Icon (ICO) from the pull down menu. This format will only be available in Photoshop after you download and install the plug-in. In the next step, you’ll need to upload this new file to the /root/images/ folder of your website, so it’s a good idea to navigate and save it to that location on your hard drive now.

Next Step - Put the Code

Open header.php at your word press template and put a tag
<link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”http://www.agushalim.com/images/favicon.ico” /> as follows in the <head>…</head> section

The Code

<! DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head profile="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11">
...
...
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.agushalim.com/images/favicon.ico" />
...
...
</head>

Once you’ve added this code, upload all of your modified pages.

Final Step - Testing
If your new Favicon does not show up right away, try refreshing the page — or put a ‘?’ at the end of the Url, which will trick a browser into thinking the page is new and not cached.

Troubleshooting

• Browser Issues: Microsoft IE 6 for Windows will not display the Favicon until the URL has been added to the favorites, and Safari for the MAC will not display an updated Favicon until the browser cache has been cleared. But choosing ‘empty cache’ from the menu won’t help because Safari stores Favicon in a separate cache. You must empty the icon cache yourself. Look for it in User>Library>Safari>Icons.
• File Format Not Available: The Windows Icon (ICO) file format will not be available until you have downloaded and installed the plug in, then quit and restart the Photoshop.

If you need a simple concept and free logos, you can try Web 2.0 Logo Generator from Simwebsol.com and web2.0stylr.com. The design is quite simple and the logo is in the form of icon in text mode.

They provide different features to make it easier for logo making. But the interesting part for me is the feature from Simwebsol.com which can make reflection and also change the proximity, further we can choose DPI. The result can be saved in the form of PNG, JPG and GIF

Well for my own preference, I prefer Simwebsol.com because it has more functions. If you like it, you can use this web tools.

So, what do you think?

Why I can say it’s cheap?
We can use the professional font to design the logo and the price for a Serpentine Bold font in the market is around $200

Here are the following steps:

Hi,You’ve activated your Google AdSense account!As a new AdSense publisher, you’ve got a world of information to absorb. We’ve highlighted some key resources to help answer your top questions.

Can I add more sites to my account?
Certainly! Once you’ve added the code to one website, feel free to add it to more of your sites or pages that comply with our program policies (http://google.com/adsense/policies) — the Google code will work for any page or site.How can I block certain ads from showing on my site?
If you see ads that you’d prefer not to display, don’t worry. You can prevent these ads from appearing on your site by using your Competitive Ad Filter to block them. Our Filter Guide (www.google.com/adsense_newpub1/urlfilter) shows how.How do I earn with AdSense?
The ads you’re displaying on your site are a combination of cost-per-click (CPC) and cost-per-thousand-impression (CPM) ads. You’ll get paid for each valid user click on a CPC ad and each time a user views a CPM ad. Keep in mind that you won’t generate any earnings from clicking on your own ads or asking others to click, which are prohibited by our program policies.

When will I get paid?
For an overview of our payment schedule and requirements for getting paid, visit our Payment Guide: www.google.com/adsense_newpub1/payments.

What if my ads aren’t relevant?
If you’ve had the code on your site for more than 48 hours, and you’re still seeing public service ads or ads that aren’t relevant to your site content, it might be for a number of reasons – visit our Help Center for details: www.google.com/adsense_newpub1/relevant.

How can I help keep my account in good standing?
To start, don’t click on your own ads or ask others to do so. Plus, take the time to read and comply with our full list of program policies (www.google.com/adsense_newpub1/policies).

Where can I get more help?
