I installed Windows 7 and ...

  • 3 days ago

I picked up my preorder copy of Windows 7, installed it and was a happy man ... not. Seriously no !  ... I've had to reinstall windows around eight times and spent countless hours dealing with the crashes, bugs and drivers. No going back to Microsoft !

QotD: Vacation, All I Ever (Didn't) Want

  • Oct 29, 2009
  • Post a comment

What's the worst vacation you've ever taken?

A trip to Belgium a few years ago, it must of been the shortest plane ride I've ever been on, though that was the good thing. The weather was dull and grey, the beaches rocky and windy. In truth the place we went to .... there was nothing to do !

SMiLE.dk Butterfly
"I've been searching for a man
All across Japan"

"Someone who is strong
But still a little shy"

Who could ever forget these .... errr memorable lyrics, from the catchy tune butterfly, forever assocaited with the first Dance Dance Revolution, the game that either made you look super cool or a complete idiot. Of course I never dared play it in the arcade, since every single person who played it there was an expert. When I did manage to play it at home on my playstation I was terrible at it ( >_< )     I can't believe that was over ten years ago !

I'm trying to take more pictures (at least 100) in an effort to improve my photography skills before getting a DSLR...

Pictures 1-3:

Some leaves on the ground because it's Autumn... not very original I know, I increased the contrast with curves and boosted the saturation.

It would be quite fun to write your name in the sky ! I haven't edited this picture, maybe I should of cropped out the distracting silhouettes at the bottom.

It's says Calpico but the katakana still says Calpis water, doesn't taste as good as I remembered it tasting. Obviously my cameraphone is crap at taking macro shots, the background is in focus rather than the can, also a lot of noise on the shot being indoors ... argh !

Happy birthday Vox ... am I the only one celebrating ?

  • Oct 23, 2009
  • 3 comments

No fanfare about Vox's 3rd birthday unlike previous years, well the way things have gone that was to be expected. No need to repeat my rants about the lack of development or bug fixes, what has happened in a year ...  Vox hunt has gone, we now have sponsored Questions and a few themes, one of my posts made the technology is [good] page, ... not much else.

 I'm still here and still blogging after three years, some of my neighbours have gone but a great core of cool voxers in my neighbourhood who blog regularly, it's the community which makes this place great. There is cool stuff out on vox but now much harder to find, it's hidden among mountains of splogs. Vox is still my platform of choice, I have a great neighbourhood and I hope it keeps on running !

The Best Camera

  • Oct 23, 2009
  • 2 comments

I've been thinking about getting a DSLR for quite some time, they are expensive and in truth I don't know much about photography.Professional photographer Chase Jarvis, has some great words of wisdom ! The best camera is the one that's with you, and he's made a book to prove his point.

So you don't need an expensive DSLR to made great photos. Is that really true, well my camera has a pretty crappy phone with it, so before spending any money on a piece of complicated camera I wouldn't know how to use properly, I going to set myself a target of 100 great pictures with my camera phone before I am allowed to buy anything.

To stop thinking ... to think about nothing ? How often has your mind been completely blank without any traces of thought ? To stop thinking ... to think about nothing ... and sustain it ... can I do it ?

Changing things in the past ...

Last week at work a mechanical engineer came into the lab and asked "Do we have a flux capacitor ? ",
I though he was joking but he was searching through the various trays for it. So then we were all laughing asking him whether he was attempting to build a time machine.
