Our staff will be in touch with you soon! For those of you who wanted to buy laser cutting, laser engraving machine, CNC router, textile machinery (Rapier Loom) and their spare parts (Rapier Head, Rapier Belt), you can help me by ordering them from our company PT. Golden Sun Indonesia. Then I will contact you in person! Please visit The Shop for my future online shop. Today it was called The Shop, while I'm waiting for name suggestion from readers. Now I have a wishlist to keep my wishes! And no, it is not the kind wish like get married anytime soon! What is new & update: Friday, 26th June 2009, My longest update interval yet... I just returned from business trip in China. That was not only business trip, I also went to Fuqing to meet my family. This girl in the picture above is called Meilin (美琳) and Xiaotao. They are my nephew and niece. Meilin is a very clever girl and she loves to take pictures. So I lend her my EOS 400 D set in portrait mode, and she make beautiful pictures of her cousins! That is, creativity! Capturing people's expression at their funniest! Those are pictures that was taken by a 10 years old girl! Although there are some weakness in the composition, I felt that those images are very nice indeed! Compare this to the picture that I snapped! Local artist can draw your picture in less than 10 minutes. Just watch for his wife!

This hungry baby is my lovely nephew! 
A very cute expression from my 9 months old nephew! FYI, he is eating our pizza! Parking lot in Shenzhen 
Although this picture has plenty of dynamic lines, I feel this picture not creative as if I have seen a same picture before. I honestly did not duplicate this picture from some other websites, however I engineer this picture to gave it dynamic angles. Although some people says it is nice, I felt that this parking lot picture is boring! Wing of A320 
Love it or hate it! This picture is my sister's favourite! To be continued... This will be merged to All About Creativity!
When boarding a plane I always check for life vest, and this is the first time I flew without one! Anyway, I flew a brand new Boeing 737-800 and I can't find a life vest under my seat! Then I look around to find the safety leaflet and on the seat pocket I find this leaflet (click to view larger size) And this just in front of my nose When I asked the stewardess, she answered since the plane won't flew above sea a life vest is unnecessary! Well, she lied to me since I saw the plane flew for a few minutes over the water! So, my conclusion is: just in case something really wrong happens, I only had seat cushion for my floatation. Although I'm adept in swimming, I'd love to have life vest to assist me floating! Hopefully the airliner will check for life vest thoroughly next time! I also took 2 butterfly pictures Natural Batik and Create an Angle, available in this Butterfly Hunting tips to replace the old butterfly picture with newer and better one! That's for today, as it is very late in Indonesia. There will be more pictures and articles soon!
Monday, 8th June 2009, I welcome you to attend our PT. Golden Sun Indonesia's Laser Cutting and Engraving Machine exhibition at Festival Komputer Indonesia 2009 in Jogja Expo Center from 10th to 14th June 2009. For people who love to see booth babes, our booth babes were not only good looking, they are also well trained on their field. This article just happens to be the best article of Guru 3D in 2009. This article is titled Girls of Computex. It always the girl that brought the guys in, and the hardware and gadgets are just complimentary. Enjoy! Moreover, I also find an article done by weirdo that compares the camera of Sony Ericsson K800i to Canon EOS 5D and 350D. He also has an interesting conclusion: 'as long as you're carrying your phone, you'll never miss a shot because you left your camera at home'. That's the whole point of having a mobile phone camera. I have never expected that other people did this kind of comparison as I've did comparison of camera in Samsung SGH i780 to my EOS 400 D before.
Thursday, 4th June 2009, Thursday, 28th May 2009, I have designed The Shop to operate as simple as possible by using registration less process. The the user will then fill their shipping detail when they checked out and buying the item. Remember, the simpler the better! The payment is made in a few easy options, including Cash on Delivery, Bank Transfers, SMS and Internet Banking. Credit card billing and Paypal is still under preparation. Well, that because I don't have credit card, so I can't bill credit card. My credit card is being processed anyway. Moreover I will open several bank account so buyer can easily pay without any hassle. FYI, in the future, buyer can choose between registering or not registering with the shop. For frequent buyer, it is better to register since his or her information will be automatically available, however some incidental buyer might prefer not to register, since it is a waste of time. As if I'm running out of idea, I will now share how do I set optimise and use my camera which is for me is the optimum setting. Although for others that setting might not be the most optimum. It is certainly important to read and share. I have updated my 2009 Toyota Corolla review, on its acceleration section. Now I have a wishlist to keep my wishes! And no, it is not the kind wish like get married anytime soon!
Monday, 25th May 2009, Now I will share our printing company's employee profile, only the one that I had the picture. Today is the profile of our electrical engineer. She is a cute young girl. However despite her appearance she has an impressive working experience in a real computer chip manufacturing plant. You might be reading this website from a computer with a chip that she manufacture anyway. All the job she had here is way too easy for her I believe. Just sharing her picture, I have no intention to make this site Facebook or Friendster :) FYI, I have upgraded my web hosting to run PHP 5 now. It should not be a problem to upgrade from PHP 4 to PHP 5 since my web application was designed natively in PHP 5 with PHP 4 compatibility in mind. Now I can make use all the advanced functionality of PHP 5 and hopefully PHP 5 will be faster and more stable compared to PHP 4.
Sunday, 24th May 2009, You might wonder what did I do these time and not updating my website. Besides mourning, I also working on writing my online shop website project. For now I'll call the online shop project as The Shop (unofficial name). The Shop is still unnamed yet and I need suggestion from you! I would me more than happy to receive any suggestion for my shop's name! Moreover my business permit for The Shop is still under registration, (that's due I have not decided the name) therefore as per today I put random business permit and registration number there. Moreover I can't sell anything legally at this moment! I currently test The Shop's page generator engine for compatibility with my hosting, therefore I bring it online today. This shop uses management engine which I wrote back in year 2005. It is the very same engine used in DV One software that I wrote for DV Computer in Australia and Web Management software for PT. Golden Sun Indonesia's website. The engine used is already proven over time (4 years of use in DV computer without any problem and in computer world, 4 years is almost forever!) Unlike the software in DV Computer and PT. Golden Sun Indonesia which runs in native mode, I run The Shop's web site software in hybrid mode. That is taking the advantage of the power and flexibility from PHP while covered by beautiful skin crafted from WYSIWYG editor (although the skin were not here yet). Moreover the engine has been updated to be compatible with HTML 4.01 Strict specification to ensure compatibility with every browser and any devices. For those reason, that is why I need to retest the engine first, to see whether she can work well in this mode! Please forgive me there are no item available on The Shop. Items will be added gradually starting from tomorrow! Anyway, please enjoy my taught on High Dynamic Range imaging (HDR)! This article was written in my Samsung SGH-i780 Windows Mobile PDA, and then finalised and uploaded from my computer! I really wanted to create a script that will take an article I've submitted in text with a few HTML elements to display on this website automatically from by sending an email to myself to be processed here on this server from my PDA! But I'll reserve that for one fine day!
Friday, 15th May 2009, Our beloved grandmother passed away on last Wednesday the 13th 2009. We are currently mourning for her in local funeral home, Dharma Magelang, Jalan Singosari no 33 Magelang. Her burial service will be held on Sunday 17th May 2009 at TPU Soropadan. Rest in Peace ama...
Thursday, 7th May 2009, Saturday, 2nd May 2009, Another update from Sony Lin: it is all about creativity! This article encourages reader to make thing as creative as possible, not by duplicating other's works. Reading this article will help you to find the creative side of you and raise your ideas. Have fun in reading the article! I hope it will amuse you! My grand mother is about to be operated on 12.00 WIB (Western Indonesia Time GMT +7) Sunday, 3rd May 2009 in Jogja International Hospital. Readers, please do me a favour to do a short prayer to help her at least spiritually. Since every little bit of prayer would help here.
Thursday, 23rd April 2009, Monday, 20th April 2009, After few days of using Blackberry Bold, I realised its greatest weakness. The battery! Although she did not use it very often, the battery barely last one day with my sister's using pattern. My friend, Henry told me that the Bold has 65536 colours, but probable better bitmap rendering algorithm that result in smoother and better bitmaps! Canon EOS 500 D / Rebel T1i is just released. Although I have not tried this camera by myself, I believe it is a very good camera. The points that made this camera interesting for me are: VGA LCD display: with 920.000 pixels, the display should be able to show super sharp image Ultra high ISO up to 12.800, which means bringing fewer and lighter lenses, however this is useful when the images were clear at this ISO. Automatic ISO, I wish Canon give firmware update on 400D/XTi to make it support Auto ISO. Highlight tone priority to keep highlights coloured instead of just blew to white. Auto Lightning Optimiser to help optimise the shadow Anti Smudge LCD. It would be great if this works really well! Image Stabilised lens which come as standard.
That's all that I could tell right now. What I don't really use features are Live View Face Detection HD Movie
One reason why don't I put the T1i's specification is they are all available on Canon's website here. How about the large megapixel number? I'm not sure about this, but usually more megapixels means the smaller pixel size. This means the pixel will receive less photons compared to larger pixel size. Therefore this results in more noise when compared to smaller megapixel camera. We are not in 2002 anymore, where every pixel count. At 10 MP, my 400D/XTi could deliver sharp picture printed at 10R size (approx 20 x 30 cm). Any SLR at 10 MP will have similar performance. DXO Mark has shown that 400D/XTi's sensor is superior in all aspect, but number of pixels compared to 450D/XSi's sensor. Back in 2002, every megapixel counts since they are only 1.3 MP camera, and viewing on a monitor requires them to be viewed in 100%, one pixel on the camera is mapped to a to pixel on the monitor. While printed at 300 DPI - the resolving power of our eyes to an image viewed on reading distance of about 30cm or 1 feet - 1.3 MP image could only be print 10 cm wide, any larger size will blew up the image. In the other hand, the image of a 3 MP camera is a much better compared to the 1.3 MP camera. The 1.7 MP difference made a huge difference when viewed on computer screen or print, that is why every pixel counts here! Moreover large megapixel camera will make a perfectly good old lens looks bad! Why? The problem lies on the sensor, with even more resolution over the good old lens's resolving power, this will make the perfectly good and fine lens's image blurs!
That was my opinion on megapixels. I'll write some more when I have time! Update on my verdict in using Samsung i780 Windows Mobile 6.1 PDA Phone. Don't be surprised reading that! Update on my Hoya Super HMC Pro 1 filter review! A cheat to get sharp picture!
Wednesday, 15th April 2009, My sister got a brand new Blackberry Bold and I have a peak at it. This is what do I feel at glance It has a good keyboard, much better than Samsung's keyboard Good display with much better resolution and lively colour. My i780's display is only good for 65536 colours and can't render gradation properly, I believe the Bold has more of them therefore bitmaps displays better on the Bold. I love its 360° trackball. This trackball as a feel, and requires a tiny little bit push work. I love this, since this will reduce accidental movement. Moreover the trackball can scroll a page when it hits the page border! I wish my i780 could do this! However I prefer i780's optical mouse since my experience shows trackball is prone to dirt and I use my mobile phone heavily and sometimes in dirty location. What a pity it has no touch screen. This Bold's weakest area! I love touch screen and I use it a lot! Loosing touch screen on a big screen device made me fell of really loosing something. Well that may be just for me, since I'm used to touch screen. The Bold is fast! Smart interface enables fast operation even for novice users. A leap from i780 that can be operated only by hackers. Hahaha...
The conclusion is the Blackberry Bold is a very good mobile phone. With is fast and user friendly interface, Bold can be used to change your laptop in doing daily works!
