The Rhythms of Morning at Pantai Kelan

These two beaches, world famous as culinary tourism destinations focused on first-rate seafood served at an exotic venue with white sand beaches, are packed every afternoon and long into the evening.

But a bit further to the north is another beach that is equally interesting, Pantai Kelan. It's just south of Ngurah Rai International Airport and only around 15 minutes from Kuta, but not so well known by tourists'– yet. I decided to visit Kelan beach because I had heard that it is different from Kedonganan or Jimbaran Kuta, in that it's busiest in the morning, when the fishermen's activities are at their peak.

At this hour, the beach is full of fishermen involved in their work, equipped with their fishing boats, nets, and the fishing mentality. The beach itself is lovely and serene, with white sand; the nearby fish market is a bit more rowdy. Far off on the horizon are rows of fishing boats waiting their turn to come in and unload their catch, or preparing to set out again to sea. Several smaller boats can be seen returning after a night at sea to dock along the coast; when they stop, people come from the shore to bear off the catch and carry away the engines; others then drag the boats onto the shore. Next, the women remove the fish from the nets one by one and lay them on blocks of ice to keep fresh. All along the beach, one sees women walking back and forth, selling freshly caught fish from buckets they carry on their heads, stopping now and then to make a sale.

The catches from the bigger boats, which are based in several islands in Indonesia, are taken directly to the market for sale. Many varieties are available – red snapper, tuna, grouper, lobster – you name it. Buyers include the public and the owners of those seafood restaurants down the coast in Kedonganan and Jimbaran Kuta

Pantai Kelan is a perfect place to visit to see the genuine atmosphere of everyday morning life in Bali – and superbly fresh seafood!

Mengenal lebih dekat AUTORUN.INF

Autorun atau autoplay merupakan fasilitas di sistem operasi yang berfungsi menjalankan file secara otomatis ketika media seperti CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, Flash disk dan lainnya di masukkan/pasang di komputer. Sehingga ketika berbagai media tersebut dimasukkan, tanpa kita menjalankan apapun, ada program yang akan otomatis berjalan sendiri. Fitur ini biasa dimanfaatkan dalam CD Driver yang disertakan ketika membeli motherboard / VGA. Tetapi saat ini tidak dipungkiri malah dimanfaatkan sebagai media penyebar virus, terutama melalui flashdisk. Apalagi dengan penggunaan flashdisk yang sudah seperti jamur di musim hujan..

Sedangkan file Autorun.inf sendiri merupakan file yang berisi instruksi tertentu, tentang apa yang otomatis dijalankan ketika media seperti flashdisk/CD dimasukkan ke komputer. Instruksi ini dapat berupa perintah untuk menjalankan file exe.
