The death of Indonesian Internet Radios....

Yeah, remembering my old times when I was broadcasting, I could consider it to be fun times. You know when you really don't have better things to do, and some of you go to club, some of you go shopping, and some of us just kinda pick up our microphone/ headphone and start rambling nonsense.

It was big, in 2002, 2003, gotta admit having 40 people listening to you at a time talking a bunch of bullshit incoherent nonsense would probably give you some sense of coolness and belonging. We've got Tai Kotok a.k.a Tiongkok Radio, Bawel Radio (which is barely ENTERTAINING anyway) and we've got Kakusradio, who claimed "the largest Indonesian internet radio."

Well, eventually we all come to past, the era of becoming DJ jadi-jadian is no longer considered cool, albeit we have such old people still stuck trying to be "cool" by being a DJ. First thing first, DJ is a tittle for someone who plays prerecorded mixed tunes in for the enjoyment of others. However, playing pop music on your computer while bitchin' about your daily uninteresting life... is so totally not a DJ.

And people often ask, why is the popularity of these independent radio station is going to the drain? Well, I have few arguments for you and these are some of the reasons why:

1. The lost of interest in mIRC

• Sure we've got Yahoo IM, MSN messenger, AOL and other stuff to entertain us, but who hangs and use mIRC? It has no audio chat, no webcam support, even got no emos. You ask people nowadays, they ask you what is your e-mail, not your nick and channel in irc where you hang out. mIRC sure is losing popularity amongst its users.
  

2. Make the illegal, legal

• Have you know, that most of the servers running these broadcasts are illegal servers? Indonesian people are good in carding, heck they are so good that they can rent dedicated servers for their radio, and by next week if fraud has been reported they can always find another victim. This method has made the reliability of the server is questionable, broadcast server can be replaced 2 to 3 times a month. Therefore so many listeners prefer something like pandora or last.fm for a stable and reliable performance.
  

3. No Capital whatsoever

• Just like running a business, there is no such thing as free in this world. These so called DJ's are doing this broadcasts for free, and then you set schedule for them? I mean, you don't schedule when you piss or shit even if people pays you to do so, how the hell would you stick to a schedule without being paid? No capital means no productivity and this is one of the major reason why the broadcast suffers.
  

4. No interesting topic

• Yeah, for once or twice is cool to share your personal stories. But sharing how your day was on a daily basis (up to your most personal secrets) will scare your listeners away. Something are not meant to be shared publicly, and just because you don't have any other informative topic, doesn't permit you to do so.
  

5. Audio quality

• If you can download freakin mp3 at high bitrate from free websites and play them at beautifully rendered 192 kbps, why would you settle with 24 kbps winamp shoutcast broadcasting connection? Some of these station are so corny, you can hear background noises, such as the sound DJ makes when scratching his itchy balls.

6. No listeners

• Last time I've checked, the largest Indonesian radio had 11 listeners during peak time, now I know Indonesia has population bigger than that, or is it just an indication that these radios are actually suck ass? For the record, we don't even know if the people listening are the DJ's friends and family.... Talk about creepy, listening to yourself.
  

7. Do we need more DJ?

• Yes, I like to listen to my music without interruption. If you never gonna play my request because you don't have the song or you ran out of time everytime I would listen to you broadcasting crap, I definetely do not need a DJ. My iTunes work perfectly fine, thank you. In another word, if you don't have anything new or exciting to offer on your broadcasts, there's no reason to listen to your station.
  

8. Shady operations.

• Station Manager, Program Director, Head DJ (that never broadcasts anyway), HRD Dept. (in case you didn't know HRD stands for Human Resources Department, Department) nice abbreviation btw, Marketing Director (What the fuck do you market anyways ? Durian?), Public Relations (which I doubt ever going out to the public at all), Music Division (if you're not dealing with music, then what other things do you have division for?)
  
  
• My question is, what the hell are these people do anyway? Sit in front of computer all day delegating tasks?
  

9. Random, random, oh so random

• Ummm... everytime I turned on my winamp to listen to you guys, it's always the random server kicks in, occasionally playing tunes that I like to hear, but most of the time it is just songs that I have never even heard of. When I do get the chance to hear someone "0n" the person is actually "Oon" aka. stupid.

10. Backstabbers

• Someone like mastar. zaink should know about this one, the guy was basically managing another radio while partnering with me, complete with the bullshit and lies about how cool he is, mastar. zaink even renew the domain name registration to my station without giving me the control. In the end , it is just another story about a little kid, trying to be cool and accepted, while backstabbing hundreds other people in the process, shame on you shame on you..... Perhaps you should tell your audiences that you went home back to Indo to get laid, because you can't get lucky around here. And it is funny looking at a 30 sumthin year old man becoming a yes man to this little kid mastar. zaink.
  

Oh internet radio station... so much story ... so much hidden secrets. Your popularity is going down the drain.....

Virginia Tech Massacre, another sad excuse....

The fool who plays God ....

BLACKSBURG, Virginia (CNN) -- Cho Seung-Hui, the student behind Monday's massacre on the Virginia Tech campus, described himself as a "question mark" who had an imaginary girlfriend, his roommates say.

John and Andy shared a dorm room with Cho, a 23-year-old senior English major, on the Virginia Tech campus. The three first met each other in the fall.

I saw the video how Cho, raps and ramble incoherent nonsense about being the martyr and shit, I can't believe how Virginia Tech had an English major who literally cannot speak English...

The roommates said Cho also used the Question Mark screen name to contact girls on instant messaging. On at least two occasions, police came to their room to investigate a girl's complaint, they said.

The roommates said Cho once told them he had an imaginary girlfriend he called "Jelly."

"And she called him Spanky," Andy said. "She was a supermodel, I think."

And all the so called expert talks about how Cho's writing is very intimidating and shit, how he is mentally ill, even trying to understand his lame excuse for the shooting.

In 2005, Cho was declared mentally ill by a Virginia special justice, who declared he was "an imminent danger" to himself, a court document states.

We all know that mentally ill person should stay in mental institution, doesn't this just show how Americans are just slow in the "follow through" department? I wouldn't want to have someone who is declared as imminent danger beside me, let alone taking class with me....

"You had everything you wanted," Cho says in one video, speaking directly into the camera. "Your Mercedes wasn't enough, you brats. Your golden necklaces weren't enough, you snobs. Your trust fund wasn't enough. Your vodka and cognac weren't enough. All your debaucheries weren't enough. Those weren't enough to fulfill your hedonistic needs. You had everything."

Another sad excuse, why some people are only full of shit talkers, they cannot accept other's success, then the mentality kicks in "if I can't be rich then nobody can be"... You want to succeed in life, you gotta work hard, get over it and get a life.


Chicks doesn't dig this kind of desperados.


For real... Cho's attitude makes Officer Benny Ninja looks straight.

Honestly, I think Cho's just need to get laid, this is what happened when you don't get to use your ding dong for a while, it gets frustrated....

Another retard bites the dust...
Thanks to you Cho, for making Asians like us looks like hopeless retards.

-We can't drive,
-We can't open our eyes,
-We all look alike...
And now finally thanks to Cho, Asians are sad psycho mofos who can't get laid...

Things to keep the nerds busy.....

While maybe going out and clubbing, while trying to score with hot chicks it's not an available option for you; nerds can still have fun (yeah almost like blondes do). When everybody else is showing their super ego and get tangled in the mating ritual, you can still scores with some of these activities.

- Got plenty time available ?

Try to work with a Micro$oft Windoze Server 2003, not only you will get the experience installing and upgrading server class operating system. The concept of Active Directory, Domain Controller and IIS (Internet Information System) will sure to get you hooked. You can even make your own server box by getting cheap deals online or from your closest electronics superstore like Fry's. Your experience will also land you on a 65k+ yearly salary. Not bad for a time filler eh?


We know it shucks...but so many company uses it, does that mean more money for you? YES!

The coolest thing about it is that you can also host your own e-mail service, set up websites and other useful stuff from the comfort of your own home! (Provided you have high speed internet access such as cable and DSL) Face it, when you make 65k+ a year driving a brand new BMW, chicks will dig you. If all else fails, you can still serve your own p0rn0 channel for your perverted friends.

- Got some brain power?

Be sure to check out some I.T certifications, such as A+, MCSE, or even MCSE, these certifications are good for some quite time and by getting them proves your technological prowess and proficiency to make Darth Vader begs at your fingertips, hey he might be good at dueling, but someone gotta do his e-mails and his internet connection, why not you? Certificated technicians are in high demand, careful though, some of this certifications like MCSE (Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer) require tons of reading (you have to pass 7 test to get the certifications and each cost about 125 shindigs)


We know when someone finished reading these much materials, they are worthy the tittle "God" (in I.T of course)

- Got some muscles?

You can start by going to the gym, and exercise, lose those spare tires and lower those cholesterol levels. You can also hook up with some chicks on the gym. and although maybe nerds are not meant to look like Hulk Hogan the least you can do is tone yourself, and keep yourself healthy.


Only in America you can have convenience like this one....

- Like to talk?

You can always check out online for some language lessons, Japanese and Chinese are like some of the hottest language that you can try. If book is not one of your favorite deal, then you should watch anime, or soap operas (careful though, soap operas are known to be tearjerkers, don't resolve to this solution if you feel your manly-hood are being challenged). Touche' nothing is cooler than saying "I am your God, and I would literally kick your ass!" in Japanese?


Hmmm, maybe not this extreme, but do whatever with your life man... more power to ya...

- Like to experiment?

Then you should try culinary art a.k.a cooking, some of the worlds famous chefs are known to be nerds, plus your hot babe wouldn't mind a candle night dinner for two. Who knows, this one may kick it further to second base for you nerds out there!
