SIM Card Vodafone hilang, langsung diganti free!

Waktu gw lunch sama Sally-chu & Tyas di "Himawari" City of Brisbane, gw baru nyadar kalo SIM Card nomer Aussie gw ilang. Panik deh, abis tu nomer 'cantik banget' dan udah 'terkenal'. He He He

Trus gw datengin counter Vodafone 2 hari setelah ilang buat lapor kalo SIM Card gw ilang dan nanya mungkin ga ya nomer yang lama bisa di-keep.
Eh, mbak2nya jawab: "Yes, you can!".
Mbaknya langsung entry nomer gw yang ilang di database Vodafone dan muncul personal info gw which states klo nomer itu punya gw. Trus gw tinggal diminta buat provide ID e.g. student card or driver licence, sebagai bukti klo gw emang yang punya nomer, nomer yang lama langsung balik deh.
WOW, cepet amat mbak! Amat aja ga cepet-cepet. Less than 5 mins. No fees at all lageh.

1. Kayaknya klo gw ngilangin SIM Card HP Indo gw, trus minta SIM Cardnya lagi, bayar deh... Trus bakalan lama prosesnya.. more than 2 weeks mungkin, hmmmm :(
2. Di Aussie, kalo mau beli nomer, entah prepaid ato engga, personal info pasti diminta sama petugasnya. Menurut gw cara kayak gini bagus juga klo diterapin di Indo. Minimal bisa ngurangin kejahatan yang dilakukan via HandPhone

Salam hangat dari Brisbane,

Muhammad Ali VS Milo Ventimiglia

Wooohooo!

Finally, Federer got beaten in Australian Open 2008.
To be honest, I am already bored with Federer. Seems like nobody in this world can't beat him.
I still keep my small regret feeling why I came to Melbourne last year to watch Australian Open 2007 Men's Final,
just to watch Fernando Gonzales being "massacred" by Federer.

The reason why Federer's opponents always loose I think it is because they already afraid of
Federer even before the match begin, means they already loose mentally even before the match
begin. Just my opinion...

But thanks God now someone has shown that he is mentally and physically ready to face Federer
and he just won the match against Federer in Semi Final Australian Open 2008.
Congratz to Serbian, Novak Djokovic!

Now the Men's Final of Australian Open is getting hot.
Unseeded player a.k.a Muhammad Ali a.k.a Jo-Wilfried Tsonga will meet Djokovic on the Final. I still hardly forget how beautiful Tsonga played the match with Nadal yesterday. Nadal was effortless and Tsonga was remarkable and definitely The-Man-of-The-Match!








The ESPN host, Vijay or the other guy, I can't remember exactly who said this: "Every strokes that Tsonga do seems ridiculuously easy for him". I'm hoping Tsonga will maintain his brilliant performance until his final match with Djokovic.


Anyway, do you watch American TV Series, HEROES?
Novak Djokovic, in my opinion, looks a like with Milo Ventimiglia, cast as Peter Petrelli in HEROES.
Both looks handsome, dont you think? Haha. Girls.













So, I would say that Australian Open 2008 Men's Final as final of
Muhammad Ali versus Milo Ventimiglia.

Haha. Just kidding.

Okay. Final words.
A huge congratz from me to you Djokovic to beat Federer and looking forward to see TSONGA and DJOKOVIC in the Final
and my support is TSONGA's.


Cheers from Jakarta, INDONESIA

Dunia tanpa Penemuan dan Inovasi

*terinspirasi oleh course yang gw ambil semester ini: TIMS3309 (Fund. of Technology Innovation Management)

Apa jadinya dunia tanpa penemuan & inovasi?
Ga bakal ada Lampu, dunia gelap waktu malam tiba
Ga bakal ada X-Ray
Ga bakal ada Internet
Ga bakal ada Laptop yang setipis sekarang
Ga bakal ada iPod
Ga bakal ada Facebook

dan gw sekejap sadar,
kita, mahasiswa IT (scientist to be more general), ada di garis depan sebuah penemuan dan inovasi.

so,
keep creative, inventive, and innovative!

pengaruh kegantengan dosen dengan semangat belajar

title continue: " ... dan mungkin juga bagusnya nilai."

hahahahaha....
setelah sekian lama off dari Y!M, semalem gw OL lagi dan langsung extensively chatt sama temen-temen gw, dari temen SD sampe temen kuliah, dari obrolan haha hihi sampe obrolan yang serius.

salah satunya gw chatt sama Smel, temen seangkatan gw di kampus. oi oi, dia juga ketua BEM lho.. :D

sumpah, gw ngakak banget denger dari Smel waktu dia cerita ada seorang dosen di kampus (gender: cowok) yang berhasil mem-pesona mahasiswa-mahasiswa (gender cewek tentunya) di kampus karena kegantengannya. katanya mahasiswanya jadi semangat belajar, jadi sering tanya-tanya di kelas biar diinget, wahahahahahahhhaa........... seriously HILLARIOUS!

cuma bener juga,
siapa si yang ga seneng ngeliat dosen cakep ngajar di kelas? pastinya nambah semangat belajar di kelas, tul ga cewek2!!!??? dan mungkin bisa berpengaruh ke bagusnya nilai *thinking* . "fenomena" yang dialami temen-temen gw di kampus gw pikir suatu hal yang wajar, ga cuma cewek aja, cowok juga, hayooooo............. klo ada dosen yang cantik gimana tuh! I'm pretty much sure that the same reaction will happened.

klo dari pengalaman pribadi,
gw mengakui klo kegantengan dosen berpengaruh ke semangat belajar, hhehehe..... selama gw di Aussie ini adalah satu dosen yang menurut gw charming abis *pinter pula, mirip aktor Hollywood pula :P* dan emang bikin gw jadi tambah semangat belajar (sebenernya gw UDAH semangat si, cuma gara-gara dia, jadi TAMBAH semangat, wahahhaahhha). nilai gw di subjek dia juga memuaskan lah, hihi.

nah,
kesimpulan gw at this stage:
kegantengan OR kecantikan dosen berpengaruh ke semangat belajar murid, which can lead to good mark.

counting rows in ResultSet

hey you,

if you find difficulty to count number of rows in ResultSet, hope my experience I write below helps.

The problem usually comes up because you try these lines of code:

rs.last();
int i = rs.getRow();
rs.first();

*rs = ResultSet

rs.first() trigger SQLException that caused by a database access error occurs OR the result set type is TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY

the easiest way I figured out is by changing the type of ResultSet like this:

Statement st = conn.createStatement( ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE);



the 2 parameters of createStatement() method are resultSetType & resultSetConcurrency.
type of ResultSet are:
1. ResultSet.TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY
2. ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE
3. ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE

type of Concurrency are:
1. ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY
2. ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE

That's all from now. Please indicate whether this information useful or not OR maybe you have better solution than this one. I am a leaner as well ^_^
