Hurties Owies

Bad ear aches started this afternoon. Bad thing is, it is in both ears. And getting worse as the night wears on. :(

I think that means it is an inner ear infection. I REALLY don't need this kind of illness right now. Quick trip to the doc tomorrow after work methinks for a course of anitbiotics.

Till then, craploads of painkillers. :(

So tired! So much work to do! Life sucks sometimes...

Hello Melbourne

Had to go to Melbourne today for work. There was a chance I would have to stay down here for more work, and have just found out that will now happen.

So, while I await the company booking accommodation and such like, I have set up shop at Starbucks on the corner of Bourke and Queen streets. Found me table with a nice view, a power point, and a crapload of caffeine. Have my folder of "work to do" with me, and I will now embed in and try to get craploads of work done.

Come visit me? I'll be here for hours. ;)

Work Rest and Play

Have had a busy week. For the long weekend just gone I spent some time visiting Fraser Island with a friend. We camped at Inskip Point up at Rainbow Beach, and then over at Fraser. Saw the lakes and the sand blows and such things.

Lake McKenzie is a gorgeous freshwater lake. It is so damn blue!!! Took heaps of pics up there, far too many to blog. But I will blog this one which I thought was very cute. Snapped a pic of my friend mid sentence. Don't recall exactly what she was saying, but I am sure it was something along the lines of "Stop bloody taking photos of me!". :P

Click for a larger pic.


Have been busy at work this week. Spent a few days in Lismore doing some wireless work at the uni down there. Off to Melbourne next week to do some more wireless work at a uni there. So much work to be done, so little time to do it.

Three weeks holiday coming up, week after next. Yay!!!

It's almost 4am. I have work early tomorrow, but I cannot get to sleep. :(

More of Darling Harbour

As requested, here is a composite picture of the individual exposures I merged into a HDR image using Photoshop. These exposures are two f/stops apart. Probably did not need 8 of them, might have done better with 4 of them 3 f/stops apart. Still trying to work these things out. :P



Just for reference, here is a picture I took earlier that day from near the same place looking pretty much the same direction.



Cool huh. :) The final HDR image can be found in my previous blog entry

Darling Harbour HDR

I am down in Sydney for a few days for the CeBit event. We were having dinner at a restraunt down on Darling Harbour, and I was quite impressed with the way the harbour looked with the reflected lights of the city falling apon it.

I snapped a quick series of photos to compile as a HDR image. 8 exposures all together which I merged into a HDR image and converted to a regular image using Photoshop CS3. Does not look too bad for something that was unplanned. :)

Click on this picture below to the page with the full sized image published.



Anyhow, have been out on the town all night with the boys. Must go to bed and get some sleep. Have to be up in just over 3 hours to check out of the hotel. :(
