Boring Film

Thursday, March 4, 2010 at 2:20 AM
At long last, I finally finished the final roll of film that I've used when I was in Turkey and now it has been processed ready for the world to see. To be honest I was quite surprised at the pictures that have been taken on that roll of film. Although the colours turned out to be warmer than the Sensias that I used, as expected from a Kodak, and that it would probably look weird for the winter scenes there, it turned out alright. More importantly than the colours, I was pleasantly surprised by the shots. It took me quite some time before I managed to finish that last roll of film but on hindsight I should have made more space on that roll of film when I came back to Melbourne. The warmer colours would look quite nice this time round. Anyway, the remaining Turkey shots below.


Following that are some shots I took at home and in Melbourne.
Pachyderms. Such a cute name for an elephant

How.

Time's up

This is one expensive bike accessory. For those who don't know wines, Penfolds Grange wines are one of the more seriously expensive wines in the world

Now that I've gotten this film out of the way, it is time to play with something new. I got a Neopan 1600 Black and White film when I was in Singapore. Was curious to see how the black and white looks like with even more grain. This should be fun. Expect me to bring my film camera out at night more, probably one of the few times that you will see my camera in action at night.

First few days since uni has started and it is looking a bit dull this time round. I've attended 3 out of the 4 subjects that I am doing this semester and I have to say it is a big yawn. Software Engineering Fundamentals is completely not interesting but it is the last core subject that I have to take for my course. So whether I like it or not, I have to just push through. Foundations in Distributed Computing was something that I thought it would be interesting but the first lecture says otherwise. I am really hoping that this will pick up speed in the weeks to come otherwise I am going to cry every Wednesday nights. The one that hasn't disappoint is the Interactive 3D Graphics and Animation. At least they jumped straight into getting programming down to do some graphics. I can foresee that this subject will be a pain when I do the assignments because debugging is going to be a lot harder to do for these programs. Also I learned another thing about how RMIT rocks my socks. In the graphics computer lab, there is a note at the end of the page content of the graphics computer lab on games. It says that there are games that are accessible through the terminal such as Unreal2K Tournament. They advise us to play these games outside the class times and other people's class times. In other words, they are allowing and/or encouraging us to play games here under the right conditions. Sweet.

And now for the news:
An interesting article on the research of human intelligence.

I think you'd better stand up for this one...

As a large number of us know, Malaysia is known for the wrong reasons.

$41,300 for a game that is more than 20 years old. Sick.

Pass this one on. Very interesting read.

Does this mean that China is not going to reduce their carbon emissions?

I wonder how the bully feels now.

Project Natal is awesome. But because it is developed by Microsoft, there is a chance that it will not be awesome because of either the Red Ring of Death or the Blue Screen of Death.
