CTscan

June 24th, 2008 No comments

I’ve been suf­fer­ing dizzy attacks for the last ten years. I decided to do some­thing about it when I suf­fered some pretty bad ones just recently. I was ordered to have a full head CT scan by my Doc. Of course I had to ask for the images on CD.

cooling the cupboard

June 24th, 2008 No comments

I have a lot of hard­ware run­ning 24x7 — PCs, routers, switches, fire­walls, SAN, and it’s all con­tained within a cup­board where I stick it all. It’s pretty cool, in that it’s a dust free envi­ron­ment, and keeps the noise at bay, which is my intent. It’s basi­cally a small con­tained com­puter room. What’s not cool about it, is that it isn’t.

panoramas — The Old House

April 11th, 2008 No comments

Another 360 pano of the old house at the pool area. Pretty bor­ing, but this was taken with the DSC-F828. No pano head was used, so par­al­lax error is par­tic­u­larly notice­able. Look straight down and you’ll really see the errors.

Need to build a pano head now.

cable laying — ile de Sein

April 8th, 2008 No comments

One of the things I enjoy see­ing is big engi­neer­ing. That is: Engi­neer­ing on a big scale. I had the good for­tune to be offered a guided tour of a cable lay­ing ship. Which is a ship that lays cables, (fun­nily enough).

panoramas — New Zealand

April 2nd, 2008 No comments

I’ve gone and stitched together a whole bunch of pho­tos that I took when in NZ a year ago. They were taken with an El’ Cheapo 3MP cam­era, so they’re pretty fuzzy. Also, it was set to auto every­thing so the bal­ance is way out. One of these days I’ll get a proper cam­era and redo these panos prop­erly.

panoramas — farm stay holiday

Farm stay holiday

This pano was taken around 2001 of a farm stay hol­i­day that our bible study group went on. I can’t remem­ber where this was, but when I do I’ll put a google maps reference.

I like pho­tos that cap­ture a moment of someone’s char­ac­ter — my son off in a day dream.

April 2nd, 2008 No comments

This pano was taken around 2004. It’s our empty block of land just after we tore our old house down.
