lessons:
1. NEVER EVER forget your bounce card or flash diffuser at home!
2. do not be too conservative in using your flash even if you forget your bound card
3. do not trust any lens you have never used even if it is an “L”.

撞到耶夫
耶夫本年去了UNC作交流生,這個寒假會在美國和墨西哥四處遊覽。這幾天剛好是要到三藩市,今天又剛好是到柏克萊參觀,最巧的是竟能撞得上。

賣走了兩張CF卡,反而非常不開心。金錢上是有賺(雖然很少),但沒這兩張CF在桌上卻頓時失去了安全感。當然,理性上我知道我實際上用不著這兩張卡,真的要用時再買價錢大概會更便宜。但我就是不能就此令自己高興一點,反之然這種理性行為令我痛苦非常。痛苦就痛苦在不能「任性」,無時無該都在計算而不能自拔。不過這也是咎尤自取吧–頻密的退貨和轉售本來就是我為使自己能享受「任性」的感覺卻又不用付上金錢代價而想出來的辦法,讓我重新選擇我還是會作出相同的決定(所以我可是time-consistent的)。理性和自制力是夠,行為亦的確是在最大化,但我這刻可高興麼?
Project n Update
Modelling and shader test. In case you have never read my previous entry, Project n is my personal anime project.
Walking animation (requires divX codec).
Scanner
Hope you like it:
I got this scanner off Ebay for less than $27 in total.
key features:
1. Slim!
2, USB-powered; no extra power source need
The scan quality is very good even though it is an old model. The only thing that this scanner lacks–besides film scanning capabilities–is speed, which is still better than I thought given that it is USB-powered.

If any of you have ever looked, there is a photo showcase on the right (on my actual blog, not xanga). I have made some changes so it now randomly shows one of my photo albums.
像新世紀福音戰士和攻殼機動隊這樣成功的動畫大作其中一個共通點是有非常出色的音樂製作。以上述兩者為例,各自有五隻或以上市面上可買到的CD,不單製作水平高,格調亦多變,水準比起苛里活不遑多讓。相比起來港產片就遜色得多,電視劇只有最多兩首主題曲不用說,一般電影也不是好得到那裏去–從無間道監製對該片插曲用上交響樂團錄製的自豪感就可知一二。
You see the new Windows Mobile 5.o–Windows for Pocket PC–is plagued with bugs and efficiency issues. Users have been desperately waiting for a update; below is the IM conversation between Dell support and one of them (not me):

SO TEN DAYS BROTHERS AND OUR PILES OF CRAP WILL WORK AGAIN!!!!!
Yeah!
男拔贏喇沙封王雪前恥 2005年12月6日
廣 告【明報專訊】拔萃男書院周日舉行之九龍區中學校際羽毛球比賽男子第一組決賽中,成功壓倒雄霸過去三屆賽事的喇沙書院,繼2001至2002年度後重登總冠軍寶座。
2002年被喇沙終止兩連冠的男拔今次成功報仇,分別於甲組以3:0及丙組以3:1擊敗喇沙,雖然男拔在乙組賽事力戰下以2:3僅敗,但最終依然以較佳成績壓倒喇沙,重奪男子第一組總冠軍。
男拔領隊何茂宏認為今戰校隊勝在練習充足,他說﹕「對手具相當實力,且有十足鬥志,故雙方比數差距不大。而我們今年對乙組不抱太大期望,所以落敗並不意外,期望明年可全勝奪標。」
男拔領隊矢言明年全勝
至於去年因帶病上陣而表現失準的男拔甲組主將周進,今年則獲何Sir點名稱讚,周進謂﹕「為學校重奪冠軍當然開心,各隊友今仗都能盡顯所長,並以穩定發揮達到賽前部署。」
Came across some user reviews on Battlefield:Earth (a movie by John Travolta). What can I say–it’s just hilarious!
Watching this terrible abomination called “Battlefield Earth” is as painful as watching your dog’s head get crushed by a semi truck.
Watch this movie only to punish yourself and others. There just really isn’t anything good to say about it. It’s not even “so bad that it’s good.” There’s no way to find a way to laugh at how bad it is — it’s THAT bad.
In some parallel universe, this movie might rise to the level of pathetic, but in this universe there are simply no words to describe how BAD BAD BAD this movie is.
I wish I had my own religion…By the way my new religion is called Craptology and you make your way to heaven by avoiding this film.
it is a historical milestone in the world of cinema. Never once has a movie released in theatures fallen this low, and it will be laughed at by generations to come.
This is a movie that you don’t have to go to see or rent. Instead, I’ll give you the recipe for experiencing this movie in the luxury of your own house.
Ingredients:
– bad acting
– loose, incoherent drivel-encrusted plot
– a director, or a drunk chimpanzee in a party hat holding a foghorn while throwing crap around with its other hand
– stale popcornPlace ingredients into toilet and flush thoroughly, making sure that the mixture is sufficiently thick. Wait 10 seconds until toilet backs up. Wait for the contents to settle and observe for 20 hours. Congratulations! You have just seen Battlefield Earth!
I remember people going on about how this is one of the worst movies ever made. So I had to check it out for myself. Believe the hype!!!!
Not just the worst movie ever made its is the worst idea the worst thing in the history of the world this movie should be recalled and every copy should be destroyed its that bad.
If you do not want to risk being addicted to sleep aids, rent this movie. I rented it to be the first movie I watched when I got my new home theater system, I almost took it out on the tv, which would have been unfair!
(Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…. )If you see this movie, the only thing you will wish for is to get back those 2 hours of your life that were just wasted. I’ve heard that John Travolta wants to make a sequel. Someone, please stop him.
i think im on the right track by saying I give this movie an A for Absolute trash. Or maybe A for Alcoholified, the way you must be too accidently rate this movie an F when you really…. oh wait, yea you did mean F. Or A for Atrophy, what your brain is doing when you see that one 2 minute blurb that i saw.
Or perhaps A for “Jon Travolta is < A > bad Actor in this < A > trosity”
had to join you guys, these reviews were too funny.
:P
There’s only two reasons to see this movie:
1. You’re Tom Cruise
2. You want to see one of the funniest movies of all time
今日遊行的人數不是那麼少吧,竟然撞得上?
雖然我的專業是經濟學(畢竟都讀到博士了…),但我的對動畫製作的興趣始終濃厚。我正在構想一部以香港警隊一支秘密部隊–暫稱之為n部門–為故事主軸的短片。設定有點像<<攻殼機動隊>>加<<重裝警察>>的樣子。以下是主要角色的初步構想:
註:
1. 起碼會有第五個主角。會是一個老一點的警員,還在構想中。
2. 武器會以飛虎隊採用的為主。構想中n部門的運作是用包括飛虎隊在內的多個警隊部門為掩飾,例如行動中有隊員受傷時就會掩飾為飛虎隊訓練受傷。角色四所穿的並不是飛虎隊常用的所謂的”Level 4″,原因是考慮到n部門的設定不是用來正面攻堅,”Level 4″在行動時只會礙事。這些細節還要多想一點。
3. 角色四的那支PSG-1畫短了。
