Put Your Computer’s Uptime On Your Blog

The period that your machine has been in operation

I stumbled on an interesting blog post yesterday. The author wrote about various information which was included in his blog footer. There were 4 pieces of information and I found one of those really interesting - where he uses an Applescript to upload the uptime of his computer (Macbook) and it is updated periodically.

I’m a Wine Lover

Yes, I’m a wine lover. I like to try different wines from different places. I prefer red wine to white wine. I normally share a bottle or 2 once a week. Whenever I go to a supermarket in the weekend, I usually try to choose a different bottle. Any other wine lovers out there?

You might have seen this photo before. Yeah, I put it on the sidebar with a link to vote for it on JPGMag (www.jpgmag.com). Up to this point, you might have thought I won the competition or something. No, I didn’t and I’ve got a small number of votes compared to the last competition. Considering most of you (or maybe all of you?) couldn’t get to vote for it since you need to register to cast a vote, I would like to get some comments from you guys here. You can see other people’s photos in the same competition at http://www.jpgmag.com/themes/87.

Just to let you know that whether I’ll get negative or position comments, I still keep going for the competition. This means that if the comment is positive, I’ll be more confident about my photography skill and if the comment is negative I’ll know which parts need more work and I’ll try to make it better next time. Anyways, just be honest when you comment. 

Cheers :) 

PS. If you have a photo that you think it’s somewhat compelling, you really should put it into the next competition. Jpgmag is a really great community for people who love taking photo.

3D Model Of Bayon Temple

This is a speech by Dr. Katsushi Ikeuchi who carried out a project to digitally model Bayon Temple with his student students in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Enjoy watching!

Enjoying amazing ancient structures through Internet technologies is one of
the most promising methods to promote our culture and cultural heritage.
These technologies involve sensing, transmission, and display. In this talk,
I will briefly explain these three aspects, and then focus on sensing
issues, in particular, the technical challenges presented by sensing huge
outdoor structures. I will describe the technical challenges and how we
solved them as we confronted the difficult task of modeling the huge Bayon
Temple in the Angkor ruin in Cambodia. I will show the digital data we
obtained, including the entire structure of the temple, the hundred and
seventy-three faces of deities, and the hidden pediments. I will also
explain some of the technical issues involved in displaying the data we
obtained, using our virtual Aska as an example.
