Dengan kode awal 91xxx… ESIA MASUK MAKASSAR.. tapi masih sux, secara dia hanya bisa nyambung ke sesama esia. Seperti waktu StarOne/Jagoan dulu baru masuk Makassar, hanya bisa sesama Indosat saja.

Anehnya Fren dengan 0888-nya kok nggak nemuin masalah seperti itu ya? Apa karena nomor Fren itu berlaku nasional, seperti nomor GSM, sehingga telkom Makassar mau gak mau ya harus koneksi ke sana, sementara Esia & StarOne pakai nomor lokal Makassar (prefix 0411)?

Artinya, bukan Telkom yg SUX, tapi TELKOM MAKASSAR yg SUX?

ah Monopoli ekonomi memang sux dalam berbagai bentuknya. KPPU mana ya, kok kalo perusahaan asing (singtel_lupa nama perush. gedenya-telkomsel-indosat dsb yg sempat heboh2 itu) dipersoalkan, sementara yang gede kaya gini malah didiamkan ya…

Yang menarik dari Esia adalah caranya menjual nomor perdana. Tinggal nongkrong di salah satu terminalnya, pilih nomor di komputer, catat, ke kasir lalu bayar. Jadi nomor tersebut benar-benar pilihan kita. Bukannya kita diberi daftar nomor-nomor (biasanya paling banyak 10) lalu disuruh pilih salah satunya. Walaupun ada daftar, tapi kita tidak diminta pilih langsung dari daftar itu. Daftar itu hanya jadi acuan saja. Memang masih agak lambat karena nomor pilihan kita baru bisa diambil beberapa jam kemudian, malah saya ambilnya keesokan harinya, tapi cukup menarik karena nomor tersebut jadi lebih personal dan punya arti buat pembelinya. Minimal membuat pilihan menjadi lebih banyak. Nice Touch, secara saya udah borong beberapa nomor yang punya arti buat sekelompok orang di Makassar hehehe.

Eniwei, Congrats buat Esia yang dah masuk ke Makassar.. atau congrats buat Makassar yang udah dimasuki Esia?

catatan: Bukti visual nyusul…

“There’s a solar eclipse right now!!!! People here are all outside, watching the sky, using sun-glasses. People are taking pictures. Just go outside and see it for yourself.”

“What? A solar eclipse? It’s impossible, there’s no news about it, and it isn’t dark outside.”

I was near the entrance door of my office, I looked outside, everything seems OK, no sign of supposed-to-be dark solar eclipse situation. But, I step outside, and look up to the sky, there’s something strange allright, there’s some sort of rainbow near the sun. Curious, I step further outside, to the street in front of my office, look up, and while trying to block the sun with my hands, I see a big Halo, surrounding the sun.

No, it wasn’t a solar eclipse this morning that appeared to everyone in Makassar, but it was a Solar Halo. People aren’t familiar with this phenomenon and almost everyone refer to it as an eclipse, they thought that the big round thing was the moon, covering the sun.

Anyway, I took a great picture of it. I tried to take the picture near my house, but there are always electrical cords hanging all around and ruin my picture. So, after picking up my son, we decided to go to an area called Tanjung Bunga, which I know has no electrical cords hanging in the streets, specially along the Metro street. So, I stopped a while, open the car door a bit, and look straight up with my (new) camera.. and here’s the best picture i’ve got:

I took a total of 75 pictures of the halo, and this is the most round and full of the halo. Using ISO 100 and -1 Exposure, this image is still disturbed by my car door at the right-up corner and left-bottom corner. My eyes are still uncomfortable now, specially when I close it

BTW, I also wanted to take pictures of people taking picture of the halo, but I only got one:

So, enjoy the halo as I and Makassar people did this morning

Makin malam tiba di Jakarta…

Untung ada Hotspot
