Why?

Yesterday I was invited to attend and speak at Mobile Monday Indonesia, the topic was about Mobile Internet. I gave a short presentation about my mobile internet habits and also present some nice stats about Opera Mini in Indonesia

. The other speakers was Denny Yohanes from Nokia Siemens Network, Jeff Roberto from Friendster and Hisham Isha from BuzzCity. The presentations were great, the crowd was great, and the host was really great

.
After the presentation, the crowd are given the chance to chat and mingle. I talked with some people that came; journalist, software vendors, consultant, PR people and website owners. I talked with Jeff Roberto from Friendster too and a bit complaining about their decision to hard redirect Opera Mini users to their mobile version. There are some technical reason that he stated and I think i should (and i will) forward their reasons to David Storey. I met some people that was interested in doing business with Opera. I
In this session i realised, I don't have a business card!

And that's is totally not cool

. So I think i should make two. One is my official Garuda Indonesia business card, the other one is my personal business card. Any design ideas? I'd love to make an Opera Indonesia Community Member Card, that would be a cool personal card

Another lesson learned on the event was i need to practice speaking english more

. I still think in Indonesian and that sometimes it messed up my ability to speak my opinion
