It’s Here!

I’ve fin­ished off the Octo­ber Album, and I’ve started the Novem­ber Album.

Enjoy!

Big Update Pending

Mas­sive amount of new pic­tures will soon come to the gallery.

Stay tuned…

Archery

New photos on my archey pre­sen­ta­tion for Eng­lish up here.

October Photos

Photos from Octo­ber at BFA are up now.

Vieil Armand

Last Friday, our fresh­men class went on a field trip to the WWI trenches on a hill in Haut-​Rhin, near where my par­ents live. The weather was hor­ri­ble. It was cold and rainy, and my socks were damp. Was pretty depress­ing. But, I got to bring along one of the yearbook’s cam­eras; their old Nikon D1x with a 50mm f/1.8 prime on it. It really sucks bat­tery life and two of the three bat­ter­ies that I brought didn’t work, so I couldn’t shoot at the end of the trip. There were times when I wished I had a longer focal length, but in gen­eral, the prime sat­is­fied my needs. I’ll get the pic­tures up in the gallery even­tu­ally. EDIT: They are now up.

Updates

More por­trait photos in the gallery, and I’ve updated the About page that you can click to on the sidebar.

Gallery Update 24/09/2008

Added some photos of my fellow class­mates and others in the Gen­eral BFA sec­tion. Enjoy!

Finally, more pictures.

I finally man­aged to get more pic­tures uploaded on the gallery. They’re in Gen­eral BFA and HBR.

New Photos!

Added tons of new BFA photos! Enjoy!

Rain

For the last two days, It’s been really rain­ing. Sort of depresing.

Photos from BFA are now up on the gallery. I’ll be upload­ing more that I took during the Chillin’ ‘n Grillin’ on the first Friday, but there’s about 224MB of photos and I’m not sure how I’m sup­posed to upload them all with this lim­ited inter­net con­nec­tion we have at the dorm. I got to use a Nikon D300 with a 80-200mm f/2.8 lens, so I was pretty exited :)

I’ll get them up eventually…

Creative Zen 4GB

Got my Cre­ative Zen 4GB yes­ter­day. Unfor­tu­nately, we couldn’t buy a nice pair of head­phones to go with them, so I’ll have to do that some other time.

I’m quite pleased with it, unlike the hor­ri­ble “iceTech KEO” player I had bought and sub­se­quently bricked with a firmware update. Their firmware update page is a joke, telling you to look at the boxes for a subtle dif­fer­ence between two very sim­i­lar models. I chose the wrong one (or both were wrong) and wound up with some etched sil­i­con in a plas­tic case.

For­tu­nately, my Zen came with the latest firmware pre­loaded, so I didn’t have to run the (much lower risk) of brick­ing my it. It came with a ton of pre­loaded con­tent, includ­ing a half dozen audio­book excerpts from Audi​ble.com (one of it’s much flaunted capabilities).

Highly recommended.

Now, if only I could get those head­phones

Site Updates

I’m work­ing on this site slowly, but surly, and as you can already see, it’s improved a great deal. But there are still some little things to work on. There’s also my gallery, but it’s at a lower pri­or­ity right now. Also, I don’t have our camera right now, so I couldn’t take any pic­tures of the fire­works on France’s National Hol­i­day on the 14th. Sad.

’nother gallery update

The Vine­yard pics are now named and I’ve put up pics from our 2008 school carnival.

Gallery Update

Added my vine­yard photos to the gallery. Go check em out!

(Why do the images have a purple outline?)

Enjoy!

Update and experiments…

Howdy,

I’ll start work­ing on this site during summer vaca­tion. Really.

I’m writ­ing this post via Win­dows Live Writer, the won­der­ful weblog pub­lish­ing soft­ware that comes with the Live suite of free pro­grams from Microsoft. It does a won­der­ful job.

  Pros Cons
Win­dows Live Writer Fast, con­ve­nient, flex­i­ble Slow to open
Online Inter­face Avail­able wher­ever Slow, incon­ve­nient

 

A darn pretty picture.

Some­thing pulled out of the text. Appar­ently, this is a quo­ta­tion. Funny, I don’t remem­ber saying this.

Lol=Lots of links! Here are some great orga­ni­za­tional sites you should visit

Life​hacker.com; Unclut​terer.com; Zen Habits

I’m get­ting a Cre­ative Zen 4 GB PMP. Anyone know if when you plug it into your com­puter, does the inter­nal SD card show up as a sep­a­rate drive? Or does it not see it at all.

Note that, at the time of writ­ing, I really need to change how links are displayed.
