Dapur Cokelat and Ladang Coffee

last week (January 24th, 2010) I came to see the new Chocolate Shop in my town which opened on January 22, 2010 (two days before I went there). it’s name is “Dapur Cokelat”, and it’s already famous as great Chocolate Shop in Jakarta. and now, “Dapur Cokelat” available in Surabaya with the tallest Chocolate-Fountain (3 meters) in Indonesia. you can check “Dapur cokelat” website to know more about it’s products (praline, cookies, etc) and the address of it’s outlets. anyway, if you’re not in Jakarta or Surabaya you can order its products by online shopping. and of course, your chocolates will be sent to your address

By the way, Dapur Cokelat in Surabaya opened with their cafe named “Ladang Coffee”. like its name, it sells a lot of kind of coffee. but, even though its name’s “Ladang Coffee”, it has another type of menu (not only about coffee). it sells hot chocolate (the chocolate taken from Dapur Cokelat, so its taste was delicious), and another drinks with chocolate.

well, I took some pictures there. so if you want to know about Dapur Cokelat and Ladang Coffee, you can see it on my flickr photostream. the link is in the left side of this post. enjoy it, and I wish you’ll like it.

Idul Fitri 1430 H

The Ramadan-BETA’s license has been expired today. Yes, this application only active for a month in a year. And then we need to upgrade it into the Idul-Fitri version. The newest of its version is Idul-Fitri1.430H which is contained several requirements to be done before we could installed it.

The first requirement is we need to active the Forgiveness-BETA. But if you haven’t installed it yet, you must install it from Forgiveness1.0. You can’t install the BETA version of Forgiveness application if you don’t have the entire version of it. Anyway, you should make sure the entire version of Forgiveness application successfully installed without any corrupt or damage file. Because, the BETA version of it won’t work properly if the installation error or maybe contained any viruses. If the BETA version can’t work properly, you can’t upgrade your system into the Idul-Fitri1.430H and your system might be broken.

The second requirement is we need to remove all bad registries that might be infected viruses, damaged, and another possibilities of it that make the system moving so slow. Check the critical areas of the system first, and then check it throughout the entire system.  I wish you won’t miss any registry. Because if you’re missed it, the system couldn’t upgrade into the Idul-Fitri1.430H version. And it will be useless.

The last requirement is we need to uninstall and clean up all unused application, such as lies2.0, vengeance1.0, evil-BETA, etc. You can’t just disable those applications, you must uninstall it! Even you have the latest version of it, you must uninstall it. If you don’t, of course you can’t upgrade your system into Idul-Fitri1.430H version. The installation will be stopped, because those applications which is not uninstalled yet, could contained some viruses.

Well, if all of those requirements have already done, it’s time to upgrade the system into Idul-Fitri1.430H version. Just wait the installation of it complete, and run it when it done. If you have done all of those requirements carefully, the application will work properly and will show: “MINAL AIDZIN WAL FAIDZIN. Mohon Maaf Lahir Batin. Selamat Hari Raya Idul Fitri 1430 H.” (I’m so sorry for all of my mistakes, happy Idul-Fitri 1430 H).

totally delirious

As I ever thought before

Naive, that’s what makes me could stand still

Although you ignore me like I’m invisible

Normally, I’ll let you go and try to find someone new

Dreaming of you has killed my brain

I’m sick and tired of going after less than what I deserve on you

Trying my best to take you out of my mind seems like impossible, but

Again, this flip-flops reminds me of you ! *sigh*

what they said about us

Lately, I’ve been so curious about what foreign people think about Indonesian. So, since a week ago I try to find it out.

Then, I found that they think that Indonesia is full with corruption. It makes me fell so ashamed to recognize it. I think Mr. SBY should make a new step to against it. Or maybe he can continue his KPK with choose a new leader, of course (we know if the old one had arrested because of murder).

But then I found something that makes me wonder. When I check about my city, Surabaya in en.wikipedia they describe it more details than in id.wikipedia. And then I check the other things about our culture. The article at id.wikipedia almost similar like at en.wikipedia. But why en.wikipedia could describe it better?

The simpler example is about the old synagogue in Surabaya. The whole world know about it (and have visited it and take a picture of it), and en.wikipedia describe it too. But why do we can’t find the same article about it at id.wikipedia? I don’t understand about it. We must know everything about ours, isn’t it? But it seems like we’ve been foolish. The foreign people know about ours better than us.

“Islam is the religion of hate and despair, no doubt about it.”

I found that quote when I read an article about Indonesian’s Muslim. It makes me so disappointed. It seems like we’re so stingy. But we’re not like that! I don’t even recognize the bomber who said his way is a jihad as a Muslim. I think they just a moron who successfully brain washed to kill the innocent people.

The only positive thing that they said about Indonesia is just about Bali. Yeah, I know it’s quite beautiful. And so many people want to go there. But sometimes they think if Bali is not included in Indonesia.

Hmm.. Then, how could we change their point of view of Indonesian?

Geek’s Life

When we were born, our lives were installed with software named parents1.0. We can’t uninstall it, remove it, or delete it although we want to do it. But, we will regret when it’s uninstalled by itself.

Otherwise,

When we grew up, we’ll find another software named boy1.0, boy2.0, etc to be installed with. Then, when the Beta version was released, we could upgrade it into boyfriend1.0. Somehow, boyfriend1.0 didn’t work properly. It made some application damage, and the system temporary down. So, we need to uninstall it to keep the system working properly again.

And then, we found the new version of boyfriend2.0. Some people said that the new version is better than the old one. It won’t give any risk to the system.  And then, we install the new version and see how it is going. At first, it’s Ok. The system’s speed was increased a lot. But then, I don’t know why boyfriend2.0 gives a bad response to me. Sometimes, it didn’t work properly and I need to restart it to use it. Then I check it, and find out that the boyfriend1.0 wasn’t successfully uninstalled. The boyfriend1.0 leaves some registries that can’t be removed. That’s the reason why boyfriend2.0 didn’t work properly anymore. They’re not compatible each other. And it makes some parts broken and some applications damaged. To keep the system, boyfriend2.o must be uninstalled, then i must defrag the system, and check it from any viruses. I don’t care whether boyfriend2.0 leaves any registries that can’t be removed in the system like boyfriend1.0. I’m waiting for the beta version to install. I think the beta version can handle the registries that can’t be removed from the system and fix it.

Anyway,

The beta version of boyfriend’s application must be upgrade too. It will be upgrade into Fiance1.0.But we need an internet connection to upgrade it. And sometimes, when the internet connection was available, the boyfriendBETA couldn’t be upgraded for any reason that we can’t find out. But when the boyfriendBETA offers the upgrade, we can’t get any internet connection. So, we must prepare the internet connection available, so when boyfriendBETA offers the upgrade it will be upgraded.

After installed the fiance1.0, we need to keep the application safely. Because, if we made any mistakes, it could uninstalled itself and we need to start all over again from boyfriend’s application, and it’s totally sucks.

When the time’s come, the fiance1.0 will be upgrade into husband1.0. But husband1.0 must be installed with its package. The package is including motherinlaw1.0, fatherinlaw1.0, and sometimes we can found sisterinlaw1.0 and brotherinlaw1.0. The full package of husband1.0 can’t be customable to install. And we can’t remove it, without uninstall husband1.0.

For the next step, we must handle two kind of application to make sure the system won’t be damage. We must keep the husband1.0 work properly, even though we still distress to take a control of this application. Otherwise, motherinlaw1.0 always sends notifications that must be done by us. Maybe as a newbie, we will get a little stress to handle all of it. But as time goes by, we won’t be stress out anymore. 

How to Say “I Love You” using Ascii (geek’s love letter)

A few days ago, I read an article about love and security market line. It’s about how to see a love life using management method. The writer is a management’s student at UI, that’s why the article using management method. So, as a computer-control’s student at Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology I want to share our method about saying love.

Well,
In my first year, I’ve learned about binary code, and ascii. Binary code only consist of “0″ and “1″. And each decimal number has a different binary code. Those binary code can be converted into decimal (as a 1-100,etc), octal (only using 0-7), and hexadecimal (using 0-9 and A-F) notation. Binary code, decimal notation, and hexadecimal notation also represent ascii code. Ascii code is a numerical representation of some characters, number, and alphabets in Computer Interface. So, it means when we type a letter in our computer, the computer will read it as a binary code or hexadecimal notation, and convert it into character and alphabet using the ascii code.

This is the ascii code table.

well,
from the table, we know the ascii code for characters, symbols, numbers, that we want to use. For example, we use “41″ as the hexadecimal notation to represent the ascii code of “A”.

And now, how if we want to write “I Love You” using the hexadecimal notation based on ascii code? well, it’s simple. Check the ascii table, and find out the hexadecimal notation of each character on the sentence.

So, it would be like this :

I=49; space=20; L=4C; o=6f; v=76; e=65; Y=59; u=75;

FYI, capital-alphabet or not-capital-alphabet have a different ascii code. For example, hexadecimal notation to represent “A” is 41, and “a” is 61.

The result of “I Love You” on hexadecimal notation based on ascii code is : 49204C6F766520596F75

And how if we want to convert it into a binary code?
It’s quite simple if the table shows the binary code too. We just need to write the binary code of each characters, like what we’ve done before on hexadecimal notation.

But we can convert the hexadecimal code into the binary code. It’s quite simple too

First, we need to convert the hexadecimal notation into the decimal notation. FYI, hexadecimal consist of 16 codes. The codes is 0-9 (the decimal notation same as the hexadecimal) and A-F(the decimal notation is start with “A” as “10″, until “F” as “15″).
Next, we need to know how to convert the decimal notation into the binary code. FYI, the binary code which is converted from the decimal is consist of 4bit (example : 0010, 1011, etc). And how to convert the decimal into the binary code?
You should be remembered if the first digit value is 8, the second digit value is 4, the third digit value is 2, and the last value is 1.
so, if we have binary code 1001, we can add the value of the digit based on which digit is shown as “1″ to know the decimal notation.

1001 = 8 + 0 + 0 + 1 = 9
1101 = 8 + 4 + 0 + 1 = 13 , etc

And if we want to create the binary code, we just need to find out what numbers can be added and equal to that numbers.

14 = 8 + 4 + 2 + 0 = 1110
7 = 0 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 0111 , etc

To convert the hexadecimal into the binary code, we just need to know the decimal of it and added the value.

A = 10 = 8 + 0 + 2 + 0 = 1010
D = 13 = 8 + 4 + 0 + 1 = 1101 , etc

After you can understand it, now is the time to convert the hexadecimal of “I Love You” that we’ve made before.

on hexadecimal = 49204C6F766520596F75

we need to convert each digit into the binary code.

4 = 0 + 4 + 0 + 0 = 0100
9 = 8 + 0 + 0 + 1 = 1001
.
.
.
5 = 0 + 4 + 0 + 1 = 0101

and the result of the binary code is : 0100 1001 0010 0000 0100 1100 0110 1111 0111 0110 0110 0101 0010 0000 0101 1001 0110 1111 0111 0101

Is it difficult ?

Introduction

Actually, I’ve already had a web blog account at blogspot. Then, why do I make another account at wordpress?

hmm..

Because when I try to check my name as a web blog site at wordpress, it is available. Well, there’s so many people named Shellya. So I think it’s amazing if I could use it as my own web blog site. Cause, when I tried to use my own name for my web blog at blogspot, it’s not available. It have already taken by anyone else and I must use another name as my web blog site at blogspot.

Anyway,

My web blog at blogspot is using Bahasa, and this web blog is using English. But, this site is not the English version of my web blog at blogspot. What I wrote here’s definitely different with what I wrote on blogspot. My web blog at blogspot is about my daily activities, stupid things that I’ve done, etc. And this web blog is about my opinion about the current news, articles,and so on. And I’m sorry for my English, I know it wasn’t good enough. But, I hope you can understand what I mean.

At last,

Thanks a lot for wasting your time to read my first shit talks here.

(hey .. it sounds too formal, i guess )
