End of Semester 1, 2008
And now, for my biannual end-of-semester summary. I have finished everything now, except I have an exam for my Compilers subject at the end of the month, and I am presenting my Photography work on Wednesday next week.
For my major work I have been taking photographs of industrial areas, particularly those related to supply of resources. I spent a lot of time trudging around in the bushes that surround the fences that keep people like me out of those sort of places, so I ended up taking a lot of photos of them, too. Below are the four that I’ve had lambda-printed to 70 x 70cm, and will present next week.
In unrelated news, I have installed OS X on my Core 2 Duo-based PC and it all seems to be running quite well. (It is much faster in Photoshop when using large files – it must be better at managing memory.) If it continues to perform well, I’ll nuke my Windows XP partition and pick up a couple more 500gb drives and set up an ZFS-based file store on this machine.
The only downside so far is that my external audio interface (ESI QuataFire 610) is unsupported. I think I’d rather get a new interface than keep running XP, though. Anyone have any suggestions?
