About This Blog
While I was working on updates on my website, I was listening a lot to ‘Put Your Lights On’ from Santana/Everlast. So as a tribute to the song, I took the title and use it as my site-title and dedicate the song as my Song Of The Year. I just found out at that time I listen to that song, Eminem was not the only white rapper 
I was not really in to blogging until I impemented several blogs for my clients. Clients need to easily update some sections, and a full-blown CMS is just too complex some clients. So I decided to implement blogs. And later I realize that blogging is fun, simple and very easy to manage.
I tried several blogs-engine and finally decide to use WordPress. I wouldn’t say that this product is the best, but this product is the closest to what I have in mind. After all, WordPress has a huge number of users and contributors so whenever I need to enhance this web presentation they would probably already have such enhancement. Less hassle on my side.
Most of the content here is in Bahasa Indonesia, my primary language. But I also want people from other countries to see some of the pages here, therefore I have some pages/posts in English. May be some pages in Arabic too in the future. I will mark the title with [EN] for English content and [AR] for Arabic, no marks for Indonesian or mixed languages.
I organize my posts into several categories and here is a bit explanation for my top categories
- persona
My version of “Me, Myself and I” pages. It’s mostly about me and my life. - upayaguna
Came from Sanskirt words which more or less mean “an effort to be useful”. It’s the IT-geek section, you can browse around and see stuff about IT, Computers and Internet, my projects, etc. - varyacaya
Again from Sanskirt. I think it means “Bits and Pieces” or “Miscellaneous”, uncategorized content gathered from nowhere to everywhere. - rehat
Taken from Arab word for “Rest” or “Fun”. Sit back and relax, take your time off in this section. - zawiya
Zawiya is an arab term for a corner –usually in masjid/mosque– where people gathers and talk about Islam - bla-bla-bla
Any posts that dont really fit into any category or I haven’t put into an appropriate category yet
I hope my site can be useful in someway and we can share Enlightment, Inspiration, Knowledge and Fun.
