The Newly Hatched Sea Turtles in Kuta Beach

Many people who have visited Bali, most of them have been in Kuta beach also. Both domestic and foreign tourists are familiar with this beach. They enjoy the sunlight, surfing, or just splashing with warmth water in Kuta beach. But there is a special place here, it is Sea Turtles conservation. (Watch the video at the end of this post)

Newly Hatched Baby Sea Turtles

Luckily when I was in this beach (about 9 AM), they announced that there are newly hatched sea turtles then. So I came to the hatchery place and watched it. The baby sea turtles, oh they are cute . I have seen baby sea turtle before (on television). But it’s such great experience to watch them directly. They crawled from inside of the sand. And after they reached the surface, they crawled to any directions, Hahha . The hatchery officer told me that he will release them to the sea on 5 PM in the next day.

me in front of hatchery place :p

FYI: Kuta beach is one of a small number of locations for adult sea turtles to lay their eggs.

LIKE Query Using Ms. Access And VB.Net

Hi everybody!

This time I want to share my experience about LIKE query on VB.Net using Ms.Access.

I developed an application with VB.Net (3.5 .Net Framework) which use Microsoft Office Access 2003 (mdb) as its database.

And my database provider is Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0.

The common LIKE query is like this :

SELECT coloumn_name(s) FROM table_name WHERE coloumn_name LIKE ‘%keyword%’

The “%” sign can be used to define wildcards (missing letters in the pattern) both before and after the pattern.

If you run your query on Ms.Access you have to use “*” symbol instead of “%”.

It will go something like this:

SELECT coloumn_name(s) FROM table_name WHERE coloumn_name LIKE ‘*keyword*’

How To Root Your Android Phone

Yeah I know there are a lot of blogs tell you about how you root your android phone. Right now I want to share my experience about rooting my android. My phone is Samsung Galaxy Ace that using Froyo (Android 2.2) OS. I use SuperOneClick to root my phone. This application can root almost all android phone.

Before you root your phone, you have to make sure that your phone is enable to do USB Debugging Mode, do not mount your SD Card, and install Android Phone Driver on your computer.

The program requires Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0+ or Mono v1.2.6+. I use Windows 7 and it worked well.

You can get SuperOneClick application from xda-developer (click here). Download the installation on your computer and extract it. Make sure your Android phone is connected to computer. Are you done with these steps? If you are all set, let’s move to installation part.

Installation part :

1. Run the SuperOneClick.exe.
2. Click Root button.
3. Wait while the application rooting your phone.
4. Finish! Check your application if you want to know that it is done or not.

If you are success for rooting your phone, an application Superuser will appear on your phone.

Now you are ready to explore your Android Phone deeper. It ‘s easy, isn’t it? 

How to Take a Screenshot on Samsung Galaxy Ace

I accidentally took a screenshot of my android phone screen. A ScreenCapture folder suddenly appeared in my gallery. I didn’t know how to do it. My phone is Samsung Galaxy Ace with Android 2.2 (Froyo) OS.

Update (again) :

Now I use Android 2.3.5 (Gingerbread) OS. I will also tell you how to take screenshot if you use Gingerbread.

But then I know how to do it. It’s very easy. You just need two taps to take a screenshot.

For Froyo:

Hold Back button on the right bottom of your phone. Then press Home button while you holding the Back button. Done!

After you do that, you will hear a capture sound and a notification written ‘Screen captured. Saved as file image.’

Take a look your gallery and you will find ScreenCapture folder where the screenshot images are saved

For Gingerbread:

Hold home button. If Task Manager Dialog appears, tap on back button to close it but still by keep holding home button. Then with your another finger, press power button to capture your screenshot (you still hold home button, don’t you? :-p) . If you success, there will be notification sound and text. Check on you gallery after you finish.

It also works on my friend’s Samsung Galaxy phone that using Froyo. I have tried on Sony Ericsson Experia, and it doesn’t work that way. I don’t know whether it will work on other phones too or not.

Good luck!

UPDATE :

For Froyo:

Some applications will be closed when you press Back button. So, how do you take the screenshot in this kind of situation?

No need to install additional application, we will do it with the tricky way. Here it is.

Before you enter the screen which you want to snapshot, press and hold the Back button.

And with your another finger, you can tap your application to enter the screen which you want to snapshot.

You still hold the Back button, right? Now press the Home button. Then you have your screenshot :-p

I have tried it to capture the screen of Whatsapp chat and Message screen.

Give a try and spread this update to your friends.
