Train of Thoughts A place where I can...

I'd say good bye to my 4th digital camera, Canon PowerShot SD870 IS
The reason I bought this camera was I lost my second one (Canon PowerShot S70) and I needed one for the moment.  I quickly bought Nikon S51, returned after a week and half, I wish I kept that one then I would not considered to sell it at all.  I spent another $100 to get SD870 IS.  I liked it in general. It is small powerful, and puts out pretty good pictures.  BUT I found my PowerShot S70 after a while, my dad put it in garage and didn't remember that he did ugggh, and i rarely take pictures these days.  So I decided to sell the newer one cause I still like the big brick like my S70 haha.

Thank you for serving me well over 500 shots of pictures in about 8  months. Hope you'll be a lot more useful to next owner.

I recently got a Ipod shuffle. Thank to my sister who generously bought me one.

She asked me what color I want and i chose red without having any knowledge of (PRODUCT) Red, I thought it was the best one out there haha. It made me feel even better by choosing the color that i want the most helps out fighting AIDS in africa. :)

My first impression to Ipod Shuffle was very small and light. I was wondering if I would be able to not loose it nor break it. Surprisingly it is a very solid piece, a lot better than i thought.
One thing that disappointed me was sound quality. I knew apple Ipod products don't have the best sound reproductions, but oh my- this one have so much noise it has!!!

It is a very attractive little bitty tiny player, great concept, very functional, and right price, I wish it has a lot less noise.. It's quality is even worse than my phone haha... Well, I love it- although doesn't use it much


P.S. I just realized that this is my first IPOD ever!!! haha

Link to Safari Homepage



Both for Windows and Mac OS, Safari came out with a new version.
I haven't use much of other web browsers much recently (not even firefox) but as soon as i heard it came out, I updated it right away.
First impression of this upgrade is nothing. I stopped using firefox cause i felt Safari works lot faster than firefox. So i guess the new updates of Safari's strong points are FASTER and WEB standards support but I can't really experience either or. It seems it renders Java scripts a bit faster, but for speed wise that's it. WEB Standards.. hm.. honestly so hard to find a webpage that's solely made out of standards.. maybe all the websites that i visit is messed up lol

Oh well, as long as it works good, that's the most important thing. :)
If you never used it before! Go to link and download it! I strongly recommend this web browser

+ Only thing i wish this has is strong ad blocking function that safari has....

I had this game for a little longer than a week now. I find myself more and more enjoying playing this game. Yes, just like any other games, I seem to find some unevenness between characters, but overall it's really amazing how easy it is to play.

This time, I'd like to talk little bit more about online experience. I've been playing online games good enough time, not that i played so much with every game that out there, I realize a bit more that Nintendo WiFi channels are little bit annoying to use.

It takes long time to actually get connected and start playing. It's not the way you create a match, and wait till people to join. It automatically pairs you with people who wants to play. Also there's no sense of how much lag i'll experience in the match. Either it lags crazy or none existed, but there's no way i can tell one match would have it or not.

Other than those two inconveniences, overall experience is pretty satisfied.
I wish i have a lot more characters though.. which would require lots of time haha..
Is there any hack out there that i can just get characters??? if you do Please let me know :)

I finally got my hand on to the game last monday and finally had some time to play yesterday. I'm not really sure what has been improved from GameCube version of Super Smash but when I first played it at Tom's place on sunday
 gave me strong enough impression to buy this game.

Since I was by myself, I started with solo mode.  There are couple modes in solo; Classic, Adventure, Event, Stadium, and Training.  Classic mode is choose a character and fight through out 9 stages of opponents and face the boss to beat the game. Fairly easy and simple, just like any versus game, you just fight through.  Adventure mode has some sort of story line attached to it, i played for 3 hours and only cleared 13% of the story lines.. I'm not sure i'll contiunally do this one or not. It takes toooooo long.

The best thing about this game is of course the brawl mode and WII WiFi connectivity.  It brings full potential of this game.  I haven't tried wifi channel yet. Hope it does not lag or anything like that.  So all my friends can play together w/out gather up at one place to play.  One thin i wish is oline mode can play more than 4 players, but i heard the limit is 4 :(

If you want to have some fun with your friends, I highly recommend this game. By yourself? Not sure.... Of course really good game to kill time, but not certainly to enjoy a lot while playing your own.

5 out 5, that's my score to this game :)  

I wanted Wii, but i didn't know I'd buy it suddenly like this.
Pastor Ko asked me to look for a Wii for her daughter Mia. I didn't get a chance to look around for one, but i this past Wednesday, one of my co-worker asked me to go eat at Old Country Buffet.
As about to went into the OCB, a Game Stop store was right next to the OCB. I didn't even went in all the way, I just opened the door and asked "Do you have any Wii system?" The worker replied simply "Yes I do have it."
I wasn't expecting any other answer than "No", so I walked in and asking few more questions.
He told me they just got bunch in.
I bought one, and i kinda wanted buy one for myself, since my sister told me that she'd get me one as late Christmas and Birthday gift, i asked for second one.
Same time store manager came out and said i can't get two. Luckily my co-worker is very fast and brilliant, he simply said "Then get me one, I'll buy it"

So i got my hand on Wii for myself, but since buying two- i didnt' have any money to buy other games other than getting Wii play so i can have two controllers-

So far, playing for 2~3 days, my impression for this game console is absolutely amazing- It is really fun to play with friends, but by myself it isn't that fun- I get bored out very quickly
Few games i wish that Wii has, a real baseball game, a good racing game, and a good first person shooting game. I'm extremely happy about my purchase- ahah- I LOVE IT!

I saw this clip at Bill Gates and Steve Jobs Wish Good Will to All Men

Soooo funny- Apple ad duo with two hot shots of computer industry-
whoever did it it's very brilliant- I'm wondering if there was any purpose behind it Bill Gates and PC guy are always bit latter than Mac guy and Steve Jobs-
Oh well, I enjoyed it pretty good.
Merry Christmas y'all!!

I've been a Digidesign's Pro Tools user for many many years, about 7 years, and now i finally considering to switching to some other alternatives.
Finally took couple courses from apple sales web and finally got my hand on Logic Studio NFR!!!



Honestly little bit disappointed, since i was really looking forward to get a full blown box like the top picture, when I received the package and saw it I questioned myself "is this all?".
I heard and saw from Will (my co-worker) that how they shipped to him, I still had some sort of hope that i'll be lucky and get a full box lol. My wish was totally wrong.

Installing takes about 46gb of HDD if you wish to install all jampacks- I opted out jam packs, so it took about 30~35gb.. I know It's still HUGE- Also install took about 2.5 hrs, i couldn't imagine how long it would take to install all jampacks.

I opened up couple demo sessions and tested out- Seems like comping/arranging is very easy and clean, seems very efficient to run plugins and etc- but my biggest complaints (I know it won't be much problem once I get to know this program inside out) hard to zoom in/out, seperate windows to edit, seems like hard to edit on the fly-

It's been only an hour I played with Logic 8 haven't tried any MainStage nor Soundtrak pro yet I have huge hopes for this program.
Few pros and cons I felt

Pros
Good GUI
Comping/Arranging
Easy to navigate through windows

Cons
Separate editing window
can't find shortcuts for Zoom-In/Out (probably there are)
Big size

I don't know when i'll be able to write full reports again since i do not know when i'll be able to say I'm fluent with Logic Studio, but hopefully oneday i'll be able to write out full review on this program.

One thing i can say for sure is now I can/able to sell this software more confidently and can tech it (hope in a short time)

태터툴스를 쓴지도 오래됬고- 티스토리도 꾀 오래된 시간을 사용중인데 몇가지 불편하게 있다.
그중 가장 불편한것은 영어로 문장을 쓸적에
만약 문장 길이로 인하여 줄바꿈을 해야할때 단어별로 안내려가고 그냥 덜컹 단어가 짤린다. 그렇다고 "-" 생겨서 한 단어로 이어주는 것도 아니고.
This is just for an example, if i start write something like this long of a sentence, it cuts of like that instead of put "cuts" together into next line.

위와 같이 cuts가 붙어있어야 하는데 떨어저 버린다...
그리고 여전히 Safari에서 글작성 할적에 IE나 Firefox처럼 잘 되지가 않는다-
고처주세요 고처주세요!!!

덧. 아무래도 safari문제인거 같네요- 요즘 Mac만 써서 몰랐는데 PC firefox나 IE 7.0로 보면 제대로 나와서 firefox를 mac에 깔고 test 해본결과 잘 나오네요

덧2. 그럼 safari에서도 잘나오게 고쳐주세요- (게으름장이)

뒷북일지도 모르겠지만 아주 오랫만에 좋은 소식을 봤다.
인터넷을 browsing하던중, Netscape 9에 관한 소리를-
정말 오랫만에 듣는 소식- 언제였지?? 1994년? 95년?? 인터넷이란것이 막 시작할때쯤
처음으로 접해본 Netscape, 화려한 시절을 뒤로한체 Microsoft Internet Explorer에
browser시장을 내주고 차츰 잊어혀저 간 기억속의 program.  그러나 최근 다시 Mozilla Engine을 사용해 새롭게 탄생!!!

솔직히 말해 firefox보다 잘 돌아가는것 같다. Rendering도 빨리 되고, firefox의 거의 모든 (내가 사용하는것들은 모두) plugin이 작동되고 움직임이 훨씬 가볍게 느껴진다-
대만족-  이거 점점 더 safari로 돌아가는게 힘드러 지겠는걸??? >.<
