Dirty Blue Balloons

Thu Apr 9, 2009, 8:00 AM
Hooray!
The Fujitsu Siemens laptop I got has been to service (thanks to Agur), I got the broken fan replaced and he added some RAM, so I now have 1GB RAM on it. NEAT! And I've managed to install an Ubuntu-based Linux distro called CrunchBang / #!. It uses OpenBox for a WM, and it's really sexy.
Just installed XAMPP, the awesome web server package that I use, installed Opera, and things are starting to fall in place.

The other laptop I'm just borrowing, a Dell, is running Sabayon Linux. It's a bit sluggish, so I'll probably put #! on it later in the week.

This is me being happy. STUFF WORKS! And looks pretty! Yay! Yay! Yay!

...so, unless someone lures me out for beers tonight, I'll be hacking PHP a bit. :)

Ahh, I guess I'm just a loyalist, when it comes down to it.

I learned on 35mm black and white, manual SLR, and that's what I love.

It's hard for me to move onto trends.

I love the grain, I love the time-consuming process of developing the film by hand, I love that it's being phased out, I love the difficulty of getting the picture exactly right when you're printing because of the small format.

It's just...I just love it. :)

Many thanks...!!!

...it's all a lost time.... the time you have under control...!!!

SIIIIIIIIGH.

Lol, yeah I know, but they lack the grind of advancing the film manually!

I've been debating on babyfooting into digital [not just random friend pics] with the Rebel...

I will miss developing my own film, though.

The darkroom is so theraputic; a main reason I refuse to switch over to digital entirely.

And I like the 35mm grain. ;)

LOL.

What can I say, I like your stuff!

Anyhow, yeah, I use the good old '76 AE-1. Soooo old, but I love the sound of advancing the film and feeling the shutter click down heavy in my hands.

I need to move into the 21st century, however.

...Meh.

Great to see Norwegians here! I could lose myself in the beauty of your land, plus the music scene is pretty down with it, too (I'm a huge supporter of Oslo band, Gazpacho).
