Me, Blogger and Multiply
If blogging is considered as writing an online journal, then I’ve started years ago since I knew how to build a webpage using HTML. Thanks to geocities 🙂 It was on geocities.com/heartland/ranch/some_number_i_couldnt_remember 😛 Then i made several sites again at bravenet and some other free webhosting providers. Due to my tight schedule @the office, I have no much time to play with web designing for my own self. Then on 2004 I continued blogging using blogger.com.
Well, blogger.com (kidy.blogspot.com) actually provide me more than enough to do simple blogging. It has a dashboard which is easy to navigate, archives, I can change the layout, BloggerAPI. I also joined multiply (nuykidy.multiply.com), which is also offering me a blog service. What I felt as disadvantages using Blogger.com (and Multiply) were space. I have to put all my files, images, scripts, css for my layout somewhere else out of the blogger.com. It could be tricked acutally for images, but still it didn’s satisfy me. Furthermore when I started developing a modul that enable me to submit a post via SMS & MMS (using BloggerAPI and later change to AtomAPI).

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 🙂 Aku punya beberapa seri poket Fuji, mulai yang standar point n shot biasa sampe yang zoom nya tinggi+infra red remote 🙂 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 😛
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 😛
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 😛
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.
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” 😛
Contoh hasil jepretan Powershot S3 IS ini bisa dilihat di flickr. Yang kurang sreg pada kamera ini hanya penggunaan 4 baterai AA saja sih 🙂 Coba kalo pake Li-Ion seperti IXUS … wah cool.
Namun sayang, the camera is now gone. Stolen 🙁
Which One?
I lost my Canon Powershot S3 IS pro couple weeks ago 🙁 Only used it for couple times … *%)*@!$%)!($!%%!_
Thinking about buying new one.
Now, with only USD 700, which one should i choose ?
I like photography, but i’m new in DSLR world

I know, it’s not a big deal, almost everybody could have their own domain/hosting 🙂
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 🙂 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 🙂 And here it is my first shell @nemesis. Cool servername .. nemesis
Ya, I was just “iseng” buying this domain 😛
But I’ve got plan for using it 🙂
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” 😛
Laura, could you help me with word “iseng” in English pls ?
