Harry Potter 7 Part 2: Cancel or Late?

robyjianye — Thu, 14 Jul 2011 07:02:50 +0000

Today, when I had my lunch, I got a shocking news. It seems Harry Potter 7 Part 2 won’t be at any theater/cinema tomorrow. As one of Harry Potter fans, I’m really sad when I hear it. And no one knows what destiny will come…

From the news (links: here and here), the only one Hollywood-based film importer, that is Omega Film, had trouble again. Yesterday, they said they got the permission to import Harry Potter 7 Part 2 and hopefully, it will be in theater/cinema as per 15th July. But now, their permission had been postponed until… – not mentioned in the news. So, I can summarize here, Harry Potter 7 Part 2 likely will be delayed or canceled and not just Harry Potter, but other Hollywood-based film too.

Just hope the trouble will be cleared as soon as possible.

UPDATE (15th July 2011 09:00 AM (GMT+07)): It seems Harry Potter 7 Part 2 will be delayed (thanks God). You can read the news here.

Few Orchids Blooming

These pictures were taken almost a month ago but I didn’t have time to upload it on my blog and now, you can see it. This time, it’s very few, only 3 orchids were blooming. Cymbidium finlaysonianum or Pandan orchid were the surprised present I got. This orchid was blooming without anyone knew it. As you can see from the picture below, the flowers were in full blossom totally. Fortunately, I still have time to picture it Enjoy.

Ajax with Update Panel in IE = Disaster

robyjianye — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 12:54:15 +0000

Recently, on my office’s project, I got a complain from client regarding the slowness of Ajax request in Internet Explorer (all version, the worst is IE 6) but not other browser. Not only slow (more than 10 seconds), but sometimes it could make the IE hung.

IE 6 Logo

I’ve made an observation and I could conclude that the problem was not on my code or the database query or other else. The problem occurred only when an UpdatePanel make an asynchronous postback request. It seemed the HTML rendering (or I should say the JS process) took a very large amount of time.

Then I search via Google and found these links: here and here. The solution provided on those web pages really helped me a lot. The rendering process is much faster now

Charity Click for Japan

robyjianye — Fri, 18 Mar 2011 03:56:23 +0000

I’ve just got this from KasKus, today, and I think I’ll make a useful post in my blog here to help everyone who wants to help Japan but don’t know where to start. It’s kind of an advertising but every click you do will be sent to Japan (seems like a Google AdSense but for charity). And I hope WordPress will not suspend my blog because of this (hope I’m not crossing the WordPress’ T&C). So, long story short, here’s the link

Song for tonight, Hayley Westenra’s Lullaby of Nemunoki from Hayley Westenra Sing Japanese Songs 2 album. Enjoy!

Here’s the lyric:

ねんねのねむの木眠りの木
nenneno nemuno ki nemuri no ki

そっとゆすったその枝に
sottoyusutta sono eda ni

遠い昔の夜の調べ
tooi mukashi no yo no shirabe

ねんねのねむの木子守歌
nenneno nemuno ki komoriuta

薄紅の花の咲く
usukurenai no hana no saku

ねむの木蔭でふと聞いた
nemuno ki kokage de futo kii ta

小さなささやきねむの声
chiisa nasasayaki nemuno koe

ねんねねんねと歌ってた
nenne nenneto utatte ta

故里の夜（よ）のねむの木は
furusato no yo no nemuno ki wa

今日も歌っているでしょか
kyou mo utatte irudeshoka

あの日の夜のささやきを
ano nichi no yoru no sasayakiwo

ねむの木ねんねの木子守歌
nemuno ki nenneno ki komoriuta

Dendrobium kelamense – New Orchid from Kalimantan

robyjianye — Sun, 04 Apr 2010 14:12:10 +0000

Researcher from LIPI, Destario Metusala, found a new orchid species at Kalimantan, named Dendrobium Kelamense D.Metusala, P.O’Byrne and J.J.Wood.

The orchid is from genus Dendrobium section Calcarifera which have its center population in West Indonesia, especially in Sumatra island. And from 29 known species, 20 of them are endemic.

Rio stated that the place where him and his researcher colleagues found the orchid will be kept in secret for conservation purposes. He stated in his email to Media Indonesia: “Because when a new species came out, usually it will be followed by a big exploitation of the orchid in its natural habitat”. His researcher colleagues are P. O’Byrne, an orchid expert from Singapore, and the other one, J.J. Wood, comes from Kew Herbarium, United Kingdom.

This new species had been published in Malesian Orchid Journal, an international journal, in March 2010 edition. This orchid growed in cluster and epiphytic, and each mature stem have long vary between 60 cm to 110 cm.

The inflorescent grow from near-tip of the stem and each one have long vary between 5 cm to 8.5 cm with 12 buds of the flower. Each perfectly blossom flower have height around 2 cm and width 3 cm to 3.5 cm. Its petal and sepal have bright-and-glossy yellow colour with maroon colour parallel spot pattern.

Other orchid species which had similar morphology with this orchid is Dendrobium panduriferum. The difference between both can be seen from its labellum. Dendrobium kelamense‘s labellum have U-shaped calus in between side lobus and the edge of middle lobus is nearly jaggy.

According to Rio, this orchid, Dendrobium kelamense, have big potential for mass cultivation.

Reporter (read: Woman) Obsession?

robyjianye — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 05:08:47 +0000

This morning, like other particular days, I opened a news website such as Kompas, Detik, or Antara, just want to know what had happened these days. Suddenly, my eyes starred to this news this morning: David Beckham’s Crotch Being Grabbed by Italian Reporter… LOL, how this could happen? Here’s the live video:

So, why does the reporter, Elena Di Cioccio, grabbed David’s crotch? Here’s the snapshot of the news (source from here):

“Off the pitch we have seen fascinating photographs of David Beckham in his underpants and seemingly very well endowed and even his wife says that he is well equipped and calls him Golden Balls,” Di Cioccio said. “Well the image may have slipped slightly as he has been replaced in the Armani campaign by a younger footballer, Cristiano Ronaldo, but we wanted to find out if he was as well endowed as the pictures suggest or if they were touched up.”

So, it seemed that she’s really obsessed and curious to know how big “it” is. LOL… and as seen in the video above, she really prepared the action very well, even she used yellow gloves to grab David’s… LOL I don’t know whether David Beckham was angry or not, but I think he’s quite mad with that “accident” and surely not happy as seen his face in the video above.

Once again, LOLLLLLL
