CLOUD COMPUTING

    Cloud computing adalah gabungan pemanfaatan teknologi komputer (komputasi) dan pengembangan berbasis internet.  Awan (cloud) adalah metafora dari internet sebagaimana awan yang sering digambarkan didiagram jaringan komputer.  Sebagaimana awan dalam jaringan komputer tersebut, awan (cloud) dalam cloud computing juga merupakan abstraksi dari infrastruktur kompleks yang disembunyikannya.

           Teknologi ini dibutuhkan untuk kecepatan dan realibilitas yang lebih dari teknology yang sebelumnya sehingga teknologi ini nantinya akan mencapai pada tingkat investasi dalam term cloud service yang cepat dan mudah.

Cloud sudah hadir di depan kita saat ini, namun apa itu cloud ? kemana tujuanya ? dan apa resikonya? dan bagaimana organisasi IT mempersiapkan ini ? itulah pertanyaan yang setidaknya akan hadir oleh beberapa praktisi ataupun peminat IT, Cloud computing pada dasaranya adalah menggunakan Internet-based service untuk meng support business process. Cloud service biasanya memiliki beberapa karakteristik, diantaranya adalah:

Sangat cepat di deploy, sehingga cepat berarti instant untuk implementasi.

·         Nantinya biaya start-up teknologi ini mungkin akan sangat murah atau tidak ada dan juga tidak ada investasi kapital.

·         Biaya dari service dan pemakaian akan berdasarkan komitmen yang tidak fix.

·         Service ini dapat dengan mudah di upgrade atau downgrade dengan cepat tampa adanya Penalty.

·         Service ini akan menggunakan metode multi-tenant (Banyak customer dalam 1 platform).

·         Kemampuan untuk meng customize service akan menjadi terbatas.

Mike Shinoda a.k.a Michael Kenji Shinoda

       Michael Kenji Shinoda or usually called mike shinoda is one of my favourite artist. Was born on February 11, 1977.  I think he really was born as a multitalented artist in music industry. He is very cool. :D

Bromo

     As we know, Bromo mountain is one of the interesting tourism object in Indonesia.  This tourism object is located at Taman Nasional Bromo Tengger Semeru, in the east side of Malang city, East Java. Its visitors not only from domestic tourists but also many foreign tourists also come there.

I ever went there about four years ago.  And it has long time enough happened.  But I still remember the very scarce and beautiful view in Bromo.

Visitors usually start  their trip to Bromo in early morning, because of course they wanna see the beautiful sunrise phenomenon in Bromo.  The first thing that we should do before we get a trip to Bromo is, we should prepare the thick clothes and other thing that can make us warm in Bromo area, because the first thing that we will feel when we go out from our car in Bromo area is, very very cold air. And as I know, especially in early morning, the temperature is about 35⁰ C, even if the weather is rainy, the temperature can be 0⁰ C

To see the sunrise, we should pass the Pananjakan mountain, which is the highest mountain in Bromo area, that’s why  this mountain is chosen to be the place where the visitors can see the sunrise phenomenon.  The road to Pananjakan mountain is heavy enough and also has many crankle, so we can’t use ordinary car, we just can use a jeep car or a kind of jeep car to reach the Pananjakan mountain and other Bromo area.  But if our car isn’t a kind of jeep car, don’t worry because there are many places that rent a jeep car or a kind of jeep car for the Bromo’s visitors and usually the car rent with its driver too.

If we have arrived on the upside of Pananjakan mountain, we can see there are some shops that sell hot coffee, hot tea, hot burn corn to warm our body while waiting for the sunrise come.  There are also some shops that offer edelwise flower or other kind of mountain flower.

            To see the sunrise, we should walk from the place we parked our car, and we also must up the stairs.  But the stairs is not really high.  When I went there, the stairs that we must pass is dark enough and lack of lighting, so better bring a lighting to light our way to the place where we can sit and waiting for the sunrise phenomenon.  We have to be patient to wait the sunrise, and sometime we also can’t always see the sunrise phenomenon there, because if the sky is cloudy, the sunrise will covered with cloud and we can’t see the sunrise clearly.

            After see the sunrise, when the time is about half pass 5 or six o’clock, we can continue our trip, with down the stairs and go to our car and then we can go down go to Bromo mountain area.  At Bromo mountain, we can see the very large sea of sands or we usually call it in Indonesia, “Lautan Pasir”.  It is very large area, dry, and grown with a little dry grass, and surrounded with some maountains.  There are many Tengger people who rent their horse at "Lautan Pasir".

            If we wanna go to Bromo mountain’s foot, we can not use any vehicle, we just can use horse or if we feel strong we can walk.  If we wanna see the crater of Bromo, we should walk because we must pass many stairs.  We must up the stairs, and its number is about 250 stairs. If we have arrive on the peak of Bromo mountain, we can see the crater of Bromo that produce a lot of smokes, and if we go back and look down, we can see the very scarce and amazing view, it is the “Lautan Pasir” with the small temple in its middle, and it’s surrounded by some mountains.  What a beautiful amazing and scarce view.  I hope one day I can visit Bromo again.

Batik

Batik is a cloth that traditionally uses a manual wax-resist dyeing technique. Javanese traditional batik, especially from Yogyakarta and Surakarta, has notable meanings rooted to the Javanese conceptualization of the universe. Traditional colours include indigo, dark brown, and white, which represent the three major Hindu Gods (Brahmā, Visnu, and Śiva). This is related to the fact that natural dyes are most commonly available in indigo and brown. Certain patterns can only be worn by nobility; traditionally, wider stripes or wavy lines of greater width indicated higher rank. Consequently, during Javanese ceremonies, one could determine the royal lineage of a person by the cloth he or she was wearing.

Other regions of Indonesia have their own unique patterns that normally take themes from everyday lives, incorporating patterns such as flowers, nature, animals, folklore or people. The colours of pesisir batik, from the coastal cities of northern Java, is especially vibrant, and it absorbs influence from the Javanese, Arab, Chinese and Dutch cultures. In the colonial times pesisir batik was a favourite of the derivative Chinese, Dutch and Eurasians.

UNESCO designated Indonesian batik as a Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity on October 2, 2009. As part of the acknowledgment, UNESCO insisted that Indonesia preserve their heritage. Batik or fabrics with the traditional batik patterns are also found in several countries such as Malaysia, Japan, China, Azerbaijan, India, Sri Lanka, Egypt, Nigeria, Senegal, and Singapore. Malaysian batik often displays plants and flowers to avoid the interpretation of human and animal images as idolatry, in accordance with local Islamic doctrine.
