Canon Powershot S3 IS Pro

Status: hilang dicuri

Pengalamanku menggunakan kamera sebenarnya ga “wah” banget kok. Diawali dengan kamera poket 35mm dari Fuji. Mengapa Fuji? karena toko Fuji ada di mana-mana πŸ™‚ Aku punya beberapa seri poket Fuji, mulai yang standar point n shot biasa sampe yang zoom nya tinggi+infra red remote πŸ™‚ Sayang belum sempat scan foto-foto yang dulu diambil dengan kamera ber-remote IR ini.

Setelah jaman 35mm berlalu (aslinya sih males bolak balik cetak foto), maka beralihlah saya ke kamera digital. Kamera digital pertama dulu saya beli seharga 1.2jt di Pasaraya Blok-M. Merek lupa. Kamera ini aku bawa ke Paris untuk beberapa minggu bersama dengan Fuji IR-ku. Dan ternyata “kamera digital” ini BUSUK banget. Tiap kali release shutter selalu kedengaran suara per keras bgt dll. SUCKS abis pokoknya. Kamera Fuji ku malah perform jauh lebih baik dengan hasil yang memuaskan. Paling ada beberapa foto yang lost focus ajah πŸ˜›

Setelah itu barulah aku beli “kamera digital beneran”. Waktu itu aku beli Kodak EasyShare CX 3xx something. Tapi tetap saja kamera ini tidak memuaskan. Kecuali kamu bisa megangin kamera ini tanpa “shaking”, hasilnya akan cukup bagus. Foto di bawah ini contoh hasil bagus yang pernah saya buat dengan Kodak tersebut πŸ˜›

Kodak tersebut akhirnya saya berikan ke adikku di Malang. Saya pingin beli baru yang lebih bagus baik fitur maupun kualitas gambarnya. Pilihan jatuh ke Canon Ixus 50. Simple, mini, punya beberapa basic manual setting. Dan hasilnya bagus. Hasilnya bisa dilihat di bawah ini, lokasi di Shenzhen – China

Contoh lain bisa lihat di gallery Nanjing, Beijing dan Hongkong

Nah, menurutku ada sesuatu yang kurang pada Ixus 50 ini. Tanganku kadang shaking kalo lagi motret cepet gitu, makanya saya butuh fitur image stabilizer. Fitur image stabilizer beneran (bermain di lensa) pada kamera poket cuman dimiliki oleh Canon dengan IS nya, Panasonic dengan Mega O.I.S nya dan Nikon dengan VRnya. Lainnya paling sekedar software untuk ngatur shutter dengan ISO doang which is … rubbish πŸ˜›

Kebetulan saya ada budget, maka belilah saya Canon Powershot S3 IS Pro. Dengan IS, zoom 12x dan fitur-fitur basic seperti yang ada di DSLR (not all) seperti white balance, iso, shutter speed, aperture yang lebih enhance dari Ixus 50 ku tentunya, kamera ini menjadi sangat powerful.

Canon S3 IS

Foto-foto di gallery picasaku berlokasi di Zhenzhen dan pas balik ke Jakarta nonton Piala Asia 2007 diambil menggunakan S3 IS Pro ini. Itu tanpa retouch sama sekali lho, ada juga resize tanpa ngubah “metadata” πŸ˜›

Contoh hasil jepretan Powershot S3 IS ini bisa dilihat di flickr. Yang kurang sreg pada kamera ini hanya penggunaan 4 baterai AA saja sih πŸ™‚ Coba kalo pake Li-Ion seperti IXUS … wah cool.

Namun sayang, the camera is now gone. Stolen πŸ™Canon S3 IS

Which One?

I lost my Canon Powershot S3 IS pro couple weeks ago πŸ™ Only used it for couple times … *%)*@!$%)!($!%%!_

Thinking about buying new one.

Presenting … nurikidy.com

Ya ya ya ya
I know, it’s not a big deal, almost everybody could have their own domain/hosting πŸ™‚
Long time ago, many friends of me tried to push me to buy my own hosting+domain

Why bother? That’s what I thought

I feel comfortable with blogger.com/blogspot.com, I’ve made some widgets to post my blog using mms/sms direct to my account, and did some other stuff. I dont wanna also be called “victim” of youknowwho (an IT geek wanna be but end up making silly comments).

Well, I just bought a (used) Dell D600, finish installing Ubuntu 7.04. Everything work fine, and i will give that notebook to my brother in Malang the next few weeks. Back to my Thinkpad and online using 3G πŸ™‚ Reading some articles, blogwalking and hei … from and old post in yunar34.blogsome.com, i got an offer to use a dreamhost free coupon worthed $97.

Go to dreamhost and look for the hosting packages. Read read read, ok it says the platform is Debian Linux and it saves 20% if I register for 2 years. Then i chose Level 1 Package “Crazy Domain Insane” for 2 years subscription.

Have to pay about $93 via Visa+Google πŸ™‚ And here it is my first shell @nemesis. Cool servername .. nemesis

Ya, I was just “iseng” buying this domain πŸ˜›
But I’ve got plan for using it πŸ™‚

For starting,
What the hell is “jirolu” ?
It’s an acronym in javanese lang for “1 2 3”
1 = siji = ji
2 = loro = ro
3 = telu = lu

see, I was just “iseng” πŸ˜›
Laura, could you help me with word “iseng” in English pls ?

Happy Birthday Ubuntu-ID

ItÒ€ℒs been a year (19 September 2006) since Ubuntu-ID (Ubuntu Indonesia) is approved by the Ubuntu Community Council. ThereÒ€ℒs a lot we have done, but still not enough. We will keep spreading the Ubuntu spirit throughout the country.

I would like to thank all the community members who helps Ubuntu-ID running. I also would like to thanks all Ubuntu developers who works hard to make Ubuntu to be more better. Last but not least I would like to thank Canonical for their support to Ubuntu project.

Happy birthday Ubuntu-ID!!

Jangan sampai Komunitas Ubuntu Indonesia hanya menjadi trend sesaat πŸ™‚

Happy Birthday Linux

It’s all begin with this email in comp.os.minix newsgroup

From: torvalds@klaava.Helsinki.FI (Linus Benedict Torvalds)
Newsgroups: comp.os.minix
Subject: What would you like to see most in minix?
Summary: small poll for my new operating system
Message-ID: <1991aug25.205708.9541@klaava.helsinki.fi>
Date: 25 Aug 91 20:57:08 GMT
Organization: University of Helsinki

Hello everybody out there using minix –

I’m doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won’t be big and
professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones. This has been brewing
since april, and is starting to get ready. I’d like any feedback on
things people like/dislike in minix, as my OS resembles it somewhat
(same physical layout of the file-system (due to practical reasons)
among other things).

I’ve currently ported bash(1.08) and gcc(1.40), and things seem to work.
This implies that I’ll get something practical within a few months, and
I’d like to know what features most people would want. Any suggestions
are welcome, but I won’t promise I’ll implement them πŸ™‚

Linus (torvalds@kruuna.helsinki.fi)

PS. Yes – it’s free of any minix code, and it has a multi-threaded fs.
It is NOT protable (uses 386 task switching etc), and it probably never
will support anything other than AT-harddisks, as that’s all I have :-(.

17 September 1991, Linus Torvalds released the first version of Linux kernel (0.01) to the Internet
Today, Linux celebrate its 16th bday πŸ™‚
I think The Pinguin should appear in MTV’s Super Sweet 16 πŸ˜›
Well anyway, you can flashback with kernel 0.01 by downloading the source here
