arbiedesign site was not born deliberately in early 2000's. The insomnia that I had many years ago prevented me to had a good sleep at night. I wrote a one or two paragraphs of what's on my mind at that time until I got sleepy. The next day, I uploaded that simple writing to my site. In the early 2000, the good Internet connection was hardly to find in my country, not just like in these days (hopefully). It seems that the simplicity of the writings slowly but surely getting a response from one or two visitors (who might) passing through to this site.
I use the Internet as a medium for my writings because of its nature: FREEDOM, easy, practical, and not "ribet" (Sundanese language, meaning: to bother with, troublesome) to get a publisher who willing to publish. Also royalty fee in my lovely country is very small and not common-sense (only about 10% -15% of the price of the book before 15% taxed). I wonder why the book is considered as 'luxury goods' that taxed higher than the income tax. Quite ‘funny’ yaa .. (Erg.. This does not mean that I am not supporting the tax regulation. It’s only a curiosity, why the government does not consider giving a tax incentive for the writers of the book. If there is any tax incentive, I believe that many book writers will get more creatives and ideas to give more color of the science-spreading in my lovely country. It’s a good hope, isn’t?).
With those considerations above, I made a decision to write some tutorials on Internet. It’s free, independent and not bonded by time because it can come into view at any time. All of the tutorials and articles here on this site are FREE. You can read, you can use it, you can print it. But you have to share what you’ve got from this site to others voluntarily. Spread the knowledge voluntarily. That’s the most important thing: to share and spread it to others voluntarily. May GOD bless you and your family for your willingness… :)
Because of my tight time in my daily activities, so I apologize and hope you understand if there is an article that "half done” or not finished yet. I will finish it soon if there is a chance. But if you cannot wait patiently until the article is ready, just send me an email to remind me, give me some questions regarding the tutorial materials, etc. or even to donate me. Ha.. That’s only joke. :)
The source of my writings can be based on my personal experiences, or others, which I will list the credit to the source. I would never ever take advantage of others. All of the scripts here have been tested by me. So hopefully can be done its effectiveness...
Please also understand that I don't use "formal tenses" on my tutorials and articles. It's my lack for adopting formality as I'm not a public figure, or politician, or even an artist. I'm just me. And also, I'm sorry for the some “errors" I could make on language translation process. English is not my first language on my daily basis :)
OK now, stop the crap. Please continue to the tutorials. Have fun with the tutorials. Share the knowledge is really fun.
"Let's be smarter & wiser!"
Best regards,
