I was snooping around the internet for cross-processing (to aid (and quash) my vintage film ideas/thoughts that are floating around my head at the moment) and I came across this fantastic site, but in particular http://whystoptime.wordpress.com/2010/04/01/den-kuncan/
Then I realised I had taken such a similar picture not that long ago, and merged it in the most amusing fashion. Enjoy.
What’s happening people? It’s been a slightly long time and I’ve not been saying much so here I am. Back. Again.
I’m on holiday (finally) at the moment y’all, and it’s pretty peachy. I actually get some time to chill and do stuff that I want to do (start companies, update shit, you know the deal). Anyway, while being out here on the West coast of that country with all the little red maple leafed flags, and having to rely on eating out at restaurants to survive (and in no way is that a bad thing…), I have discovered a few new tools/apps/services that make this just a little easier (and more web 2.0 dare I say it).
Just adding a quick note as I head down to Cambridge to start Easter term of my first year. So far, it’s been phenomenal, the course, while being quite hard (and the workload just fairly intense at points), is excellent and thoroughly enjoyable. I’ve had the chance (and still have it from what I see) to try all aspects of engineering with all sorts of different practicals and labs and exercises, including some that have been tedious, and others that have been incredibly useful and even then not necessarily directly engineering related. But alas, finally, there are exams coming up. A mere 12 hours so I recall. So fun times ahead! (On a sidenote, it felt like I was about to come to a conclusion in that previous paragraph, but clearly it was going nowhere fast so I just ended it… oh well!)
Well some pretty random thing have been happening over the last week. My stylesheet on this good old site as gone a bit funky so it wants to put the sidebar halfway down the page… A bit odd I know but I don’t really care all that much as it is at least still there! It also doesn’t want to stylize the little intro block thingy, which other than being a bit odd its rather annoying!
I need my iMac replaced again, it DOES have a fault with the CD/DVD drive.
My iPhone arrives (well is able to be picked up from the ParceForce depot) tomorrow. After 2 and a half weeks of shipping which included – Taking a week to fly over from NJ and spending a week in Foreign Customs here, at which point they realised that it is infact an iPhone that I am importing so they should VAT me. Oh dear. Maybe if I had spent £5 more on that more elusive better shipping option then it might have a arrived a bit quicker and maybe could have avoided *her* nasty folk at customs.
As the holidays have now been upon me for almost 3 weeks now, I have finally got round to getting my iMac repaired. It would refuse to start up when there was a stick of RAM present in one of the slots, it was fine with the other slot filled up, but would not even make the startup chime with the first one. Thus I concluded that it was probably a logic board problem and that the logic board needed replacing. Oh and this also happened almost 6 months ago. The only reason I continued using it was that I found a temporary solution with only 512Mb of RAM. Fairly slow, but really not that bad once you get used to it; I’m now using a Celeron 2.67Ghz and 1.25Gb of RAM on my Hackintosh and in some respects it feels faster, which obviously shouldn’t be happening…
I hope by now you’ve realised the new drastic change to the main page of mohoyt.com and the technicolour excellence it now possesses, its even on fire!!! I have been meaning to change it for a while, ever since I temporarily adopted Wolfgang Bartelme’s ‘dark’ theme for the blog… I completely adore that theme, but I can’t exactly use someone elses theme for ever can I?
