Progress #1 Interaksi Manusia dan Komputer

Foto diambil di kostan rekan saya, Fat Han Nuraddin. Terdapat beberapa sensor yang telah terpasang, seperti Soil Moisture Sensor (YL-39/YL-69), modul Wi-FI (ESP 8266), dan lainnya.

Progress dalam post ini berada pada Selasa, 25 April 2017 dan telah banyak komponen yang dibeli demi keselamatan tugas mata kuliah IMK.

Belanja Komponen

Belanja komponen ini tentunya membutuhkan biaya yang sangat banyak. Belanja bahan/alat untuk proyek kami yang berjudul MILC – MILC is a Liquid Conditioner yaitu:

1. Botol Coca-cola 1.5 Liter berjumlah 2 botol
2. Botol NU Green Tea 1 botol
3. Lem bakar 5 buah
4. Selang 1 meter
5. Kertas duplex 1 buah (lupa ukurannya)
6. Sedotan 1 bungkus, harga 500-an
7. Lem Alteco, dan lainnya

Kemajuan

Kendalanya tentu saja berada pada sensor ESP 8266. Terkadang sensor ini bisa terkoneksi dengan web server, namun lebih sering tidak. Bahkan rekan saya, Andreas telah mencoba mengkoneksikan selama kurang lebih 15 menit, namun tetap gagal.

Hal ini membuat kami terpaksa harus membeli sensor ethernet shield seharga 110 ribu. Mudah-mudahan sensor ini jauh lebih waras perilakunya daripada ESP 8266. Doakan saja. 🙂

Blanketed in Stars

This was one of my motivations to become rich. I would travel the world to find this beautiful jewel. The night blanketed in stars and Aurora seems so beautiful, so . . . otherworldly.

Strong Roots

A couple of trees with strong roots, but unfortunately never used for shelters.

It actually reminds me of people who are very smart, creative and brilliant who aren’t used by society because they couldn’t fit. 

Amazingly, these trees didn’t collapse when the heavy rain stormed the city several days ago. I guess strong roots expand your life span, somehow.

Gray Days

It’s literally gray when it feels like it’s going to rain heavily. In the city where I live now, the rain has schedules. Sometimes it’s going to rain at 1 p.m. or 2, sometimes at 7 p.m. The question is why?

I just want to see the sunny days for at least a week straight without them being grays. I’m fed up with the fact that in Indonesia, now’s supposed to be a dry season where it’s theoretically nonsense to rain heavily almost everyday. And it makes my days gray.

Time Zips By

As I went home from college yesterday, I was sort of trapped in traffic congestion. Suddenly, I remembered that one of my sister would be 30 this June, and now I’m 21 years old.

Time zips by, you know. It makes you question what you’ve done with your life, and honestly, I don’t know what I’ve done. And I’m afraid of the future.

An Avid Gamer

I used to dream to make my former hobby (i.e gaming) as my long-life job. You know, the kind who dedicated their lives to bring the best performance in the MMO game championship, like this team. Unfortunately, I’m no longer an avid gamer myself because of certain reasons.

Then, I moved on and temporarily become an avid reader. I bought several famous novel book from Sidney Sheldon — like Master of The Game and Mistress of The Game. And then I realized that my budget wouldn’t support my hobby as a reader, so I ceased.

A Fine Harmony

The instrumental of the day for me — at least for today. This instrumental has a fine harmony, one that can assist me in escaping time and entering an alternate reality — as long as the song is played, of course. Enjoy 🙂

Spiking New Ideas

Wired news site said that Elon Musk — the one that founded PayPal, Tesla and SpaceX — has a radical idea that he wants to merge human brains with AI — he even launched a company just for that purpose. Honestly, I disapprove this idea and hope that someone powerful will spike this idea from becoming a reality.

Brain Fried

Summarily, a brain fried term means that your brain is overworked, overloaded or something like that that makes you don’t feel like doing things especially the things that require thinking, even the things you love doing the most.

For me, this occurs after I’m sitting still in college for several hours straight and doing assignments by sitting for a very long time. Feels like I don’t have a me-time, even when actually I still can afford to do the things I like when I want to. It’s just . . . it’s different.

Chuckle: A Painful Laugh

Usually, I chuckled when I wanted to suppress laugh because the opportunity weren’t appropriate. For instance, when I was insulted but there wasn’t anything I could do, I’d just chuckle to mask my offended feelings. Or of course, when it was about work.

But obviously, I prefer laughing out loud to a chuckle. It’s giving you more freedom and releases more happiness hormones — I always get them mixed up. But my self-image sometimes is more important than mere hormones, so I go for the former.
