Well, I'm sold. I really do like using Ubuntu Linux.

I've been using CentOS for the last 6 years of so, but the switch has been very painless and most things have just dropped in. I'm loving it.

Now, if only I could find a computer now that is linux ready. The local shops all sell Windows8 ready PCs and for some reason, they don't like booking from CDROM out of the box.

What is this world coming too!!!!

Until next time...

I realise that it is Sakura season, but I just don't want to go outside. I one of the legion of people whom suffer from hayfever. So instead, I'm going to focus on my indoor photography.

I have a plan to try and catalogue all of the Mini-z bodies that I have collected, but I'm just not sure if I want to open all the boxes. We shall see.

This evening I put aside about an hour to take some shots. I used 1 1/10 scale buggy, a mini-z F1 and an mini-z motorcycle.

Here's the results. I still have a ways to go. Need to look into my lighting but I don't want to spend too much money on this. Maybe this will do and I just need to improve my technique.

I also purchased a multi-card reader so I can now extract the photos from my Canon. Seeing as the USB function seemed to have died my life is now a lot happier.


Until next time.

I'm changing my flavour of linux from CentOS to Ubuntu...

I must admit, so far, I'm impressed.

Until next time...

I've always wanted to set up a home studio to be able to take photos of objects, mainly model cars.

Here is my home studio. I've gone with the option of black or white for a background. I'm thinking I'll also be looking around for different kinds of backdrops. The card that I have bought seems to have a visible grain.

Now I'm just looking at ways of using it.

One more item checked off my bucket list.

Until next time.

About a year ago, I bought an Acer Iconia Tab W500. It's basically a table that runs Windows 7.

I actually runs ok, for what it is, but I'm afraid windows isn't all that great when it comes to having to use your fingers to select things. You have to be so precise, which the mouse is much more accomplished.

I modified it to display English but that stopped it from updating, so last night I refreshed it.

It was quite hard to press all the required buttons at once. Windows button, on button and volume up button all at ones. I'm not that coordinated.

Until next time.
