Based on www.y2k38.info:

On January 19, 2038, UNIX-based programs and UNIX-like operating systems will run out of time. To be more precise, at 3:14:07 GMT, UNIX will be exactly 1 billion seconds old. Many see this as a milestone, but from a technical point of view, this can mean disaster for computer programs and systems around the world.

Sunday May 10th, my 6th day for me in Jayapura City i was getting flu, but the strange is no one drugs can make me feel better. Then I went to Marthen Indey Hospital, hospital in Jayapura owned by Indonesian Army.

Doctor suggested me to perform a blood check. After waiting for about 1 hours they said that i got Malaria Tropical stadium 3 and Tertiana Stadium 2. Now i'm in home treatment with so lot medicine that I got from the hospital. I also should be injected by medicine in hospital for 3 days in row. Thanks God that the diseases detected early, so it not too late to get treatment.

So, this is my time to take a rest at home, at Dok V Jayapura, but no problem, there is a internet connection here, also Fana installed a satellite TV (Indovision) few days ago, so not too bad treatment. Hope can recovered soon.

Denpasar, 7 April 2007, Garuda Indonesia

Waiting for GA-652 leaving for Jayapura, 23:28 07 April 2007, I sat in waiting room with other GA passenger with flight number GA-419, that delayed because of sparepart problem on the airplane. After wait for few hours, the GA management gave announcement that GA-419 is canceled, than all passengers get free hotel room to take a rest, then will fly again with same airplane in Sunday, 8 April 2007 for about 9.30 GMT + 8.

Just think that GA management gave last option, because spare part late to came. Let think positive, safety first!

God & Albert Einstein

He was slow in learning how to talk. "My parents were so worried," he later recalled, "that they consulted a doctor." Even after he had begun using words, sometime after the age of 2, he developed a quirk that prompted the family maid to dub him "der Depperte," the dopey one. Whenever he had something to say, he would try it out on himself,

The Human Brain is a Poor Judge of Risk

When an animal -- lizard, bird, mammal, even you -- senses something that's a potential danger, the amygdala is what reacts immediately, triggering the fight-or-flight response. This kind of thing works great if you're a lizard or a lion. We humans have a completely different pathway to cope with analyzing risk.

Raja Ampat, Papua Adventure

Finally I went to Raja Ampat Island for some works. This is 7th place in Papua that visited by me after Jayapura, Keerom, Biak, Manokwari, Teluk Wondama and Sorong City.

From Jogja 7th February at 6.00, then arrived at Surabaya, Sorabaya to Makassar, Makassar to Manado all use MD-88 and MD-90 type airplane, and then From Manado to Sorong using DASH-8. Damn it! I should change airplane 4 times from Jogja to Sorong, and no meal in airplane, just a glass of mineral water. Consider to find another better airlines…



From Sorong I use speed boat for about 1 hour to reach Waisai, capital of Raja Ampat. Did some work, then go to Jayapura after 1 week there. This is very nice place, hope can go there again to diving with Papua-Diving Team.
