Untitled Sunday

It’s all started out with a quiet beautiful sunday morning. It was bright, yellow flowers blossoming although some of them fallen in pieces onto the ground.

It was warm and comfortable in the morning. In a very short glance I remembered how hot and humid the day could become when the sun was staring down right over my head as it was in the previous day. But the splash (or maybe “hot burst” to be precise) didn’t draw me from enjoying the nice early weather.

As I arrived at the lab and fired up my hackintosh, a bell rang telling me that my sister has her birthday that very moment. Ow yes, 7th October I remembered. Not a very good brother myself, but I try to keep track of at least moment-of-importance of people from my surroundings. I didn’t want to waste time as I texted her immediately and say her a happy birthday, and wish all the best for her.

The girl in mention is the one who laid her left hand over my shoulder. She’s my younger sis, and the one next to her is my older sis. The embraced as the youngest is my li’l bro.

Anyway, I came that bloody Sunday to supervise the last day of the PV installation (read: Photovolataic Installation). All the job done, only mount the PV on the roof that is. There are still some work left including the wiring and such though. But that’s another story since we need an appropriate electric-current inverter to be available to have the system fully functional. Here’s a screenshot of what the mounted PV looks like.

I hope I could write a detailed technical-explanation regarding what this is all about. Included but not limited to what the research goal is, results achieved and such. But later.. :p

Peace. Out.

Photovoltaic Installation

Can you guess how high was I standing? Well, not that I can see the whole Bandung up there, just enough for me to see what were the contractors doing up on the roof between Bio-building and FT-building (in ITB). Today is the third day they have work on the installation of photovoltaic panels. Here’s a wiki page describing what a PV panel/cell is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_cell in case you’re wondering.

This installation is part of my research project carried out together with my thesis supervisor Dr.-Ing Aman Mostavan. Roughly a year ago, he instructed me to send a research proposal to ITB. It was my first research proposal and lucky enough to be accepted by the institution and granted the rights to be funded IDR 50 Million for a work period of 10 months. The research period ends this November.

Tired for sure. But what a great experience indeed.

Peace. Out.

The Routine

Taking picture of myself? No, of course not. I’m not that narcist you know.. :p It’s doing our routine jobs, auditing our shop cashflow and such.

It was in the end of 2005 if I’m not mistaken. Me and Pandu had this conversation about running our own business. Soon we realized that two guys weren’t enough to acomplish the task. So finally, we decided to invite some of our friends to join and share the big vision. The lucky guys were Bram, Bowo and Usman. But the latter mentioned didn’t seem to fit in. So it was the four of us who really started the company to run, but then, superhero team was never consisted of only four, an even number. We started to think to invite another good friend of us, and the right decision was taken. Bama joined the team for good. Well in fact, those who run and control the company day-to-day up to the time I write this text are only Pandu, Bama and myself. Bram and Bowo decided to move out of Bandung and have other work.

So, picture doesn’t really tell thousand stories right? Hehe.. :p Anyway, in somewhat boring occasion in our second shop, I took the picture in the lamest view and pose, while Bama doing his responsibility on site. You can only see his hair in the mentioned picture though :p

Peace. Out.
