My former executive editor at Neotek magazine (print) reminded me that the expiry date of the domain name neotek.co.id is September 30th, 2007. It’s very nice of him to remind his ex colleague, however I believe we have updated the domain name on September 10th when we move the hosting to the same hosting company I used for www.esolusi.co.id
September 30th was always important date for me. It was the notoriously communist failed coup d’etat in 1965. It was the date of laboratory accident due to my fault at the time I wasn’t supposed to work at the laboratory (1978). It was the date I decided to quit my position as director of PT Elex Media Komputindo (1987) to start my own initiative. It was the date I restarted my career as an empolyee for bigger company at the now-defunct SERC (Sampoerna Executive Resource Center) in 1988. It was the date I joined PT Pantja Simpati printer (1989). It was the date I joined Periplus Editions (1991), Prentice Hall (1995) and now starting up the Neotek website and weblog.
I’m not a suprestitious type of person. The same date of all the above milestones is just a coincidence (or is it?)
Some of my other important milestones, however, did not started at September 30th such as moving to Singapore (August 2000), joining McGraw-Hill (December 2000), joining Elsevier (May 2004). Even the first publication of Neotek (October 2000 and the first meeting on the magazine was on June 2000) and establishment of PT Esolusi Pirantikita Esa (early 1997).
