Indonesia's (ICT) Statistics

In this post, I just want to archive some statistics, in particular those with regards to telecommunication / ICT development in Indonesia. If it is not explicitly mentioned, the values are valid as of Q1/2008.

ICT statistics (KOMINFO):

• Wireline telephone subscribers : 8,758,096
• FWA (limited mobility) subscribers : 9,069,827
• Mobile subscribers : 81,834,590
• Internet subscribers : 2,543,649
• Internet users : approx. 10 times of the number of Internet subscribers
• Fixed broadband subscribers/users : approx. 241,000 (ADSL, Cable, WiFi Hotspot -- actually it shall be more!)
• Mobile broadband subscribers (3G, 3.5G, ...G :-)): 5,500,000 (??)
• Density: PSTN-->3.89%; FWA-->4.03%; Mobile-->36.39%; Total-->44.31%

• 182 ISPs (only 43 active -- number of subs. as mentioned above)
• Computer penetration : 0.01-0.05% (less than 5 PCs / 100 households)
• Thousands of public Internet kiosks (Warnet)

Classical Photo Frame + Quickmask

The classical frame can be combined with other effects e.g. the simple quickmask applications given by Zach Beane at the GIMP's site. Note that in this case, you have to only deal with a single layer ("layer4" in this post).

Classical Photo Frame

The frame, as you can see above, intensively uses masks and bumpmap filters. It might be several other ways (for the rough steps given below) to produce equivalent effects.

Steps

Text / Logo (3)

Steps

Text / Logo (2)

To produce the effect as shown below, I basically follow, to the most part, the guidance from gilberto@artmaster, except for some adjustment related to the current GIMP version.










Steps

Greenfoot Slides

Several times ago, I've made some introductory slides about programming Java using Greenfoot framework. The links are below. Actually, I've announced it in the Greenfoot mailing list as well.

Vectorization

Inkscape provides many nice tools for vector-drawing. One of my favourites is to convert bitmaps to SVG vectors using just a few clicks :-)

Steps

Brush & Selection Tools

Brush and selection tools belong to the most important tools in GIMP (agree??). The pics below show a visual overview for these groups of tools.

























Brush Tools

Rusty Metal Effect

Intention
This post describes a method to produce "rusty metal" effect in GIMP.










Steps

Mask Variations

Intention
This continues the previous post and shows variations which can be achieved using different masks.











Steps

Color Migration

Intention
This post describes a simple effect to produce images with (discontinuous) color variations, as can be seen below.










Summary

Photo Frame : Heart

This shall be my first post that addresses something different than all my previous posts. I've decided to "free" myself on what I have to write in this site :-)

It is about a simple trick to make a photo frame in GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program). Most of you might be already familiar with Photoshop; GIMP basically does the same thing, more-or-less. See here if you want to know more! The picture at the left shows the result.
