Curiosity and creativity

Saturday, March 13th, 2010

Hey people, how are you doing?
Well, past few weeks I’ve been doing my regular stuff, working ’till afternoon, then standard geekery at home on PC. I was wandering thru regular sites I visit – mostly @ puppy linux forum and deviantART and few other forums/blogs occasionally. I’m finding interesting stuff to please my curious eye and mind. Deviantart is really perfect place for that, tons of stuff posted every day and many amazing digital artwork too! I’ll share this particular link with you that impressed me, it’s a neat emo comic Pon and Zi with adorable characters by dA member azuzephre

I also discovered some new music, first time heard of this guitarist Buckethead (some dA user mentioned in his description :P ), he has many albums as solo artist, but also played in many bands! Despite having a bit controversal look his guitar skills are awesome! I’ve been listening particularly to this band Thanatopsis, they have some good experimental/prog rock instrumentals, that’s actually style that I’ve been searching for, here’s a youtube clip, this is from their album Axiology (2003):  
 




 
 
OMG! Almost forgot to mention this AMAZING movie INK (2009)  
Despite being an indipendent and low-budget movie you can tell that Jamin Winans (director and writer) put all his heart and effort to create one QUALITY movie. It has elements of fantasy/fiction/steampunk but also has a powerfull story underneat and will touch you and make you think. Ink is a proof that it’s not all about Hollywood and that movies are still art! Their official site is @ doubleedgefilms.com and they are selling DVDs/BlueRay disks there, I highly reccomend watching this movie!
 
 

 
 
I also did some graphics for puppy linux, some users asked for some smexy wallpapers :D and also posted my BlackPup GTK theme that I made for dpup to gnome look so everyone can download it since I had some positive comments on it.  
 

On IRC, in #puppylinux there’s a lot of complaining lately again some users even went straight to freenode ircops but meh, I can’t do much there, things will solve itself sooner or later one way or another…  
 

See ya soon everyone, enjoy your weekend!

Styling fluxbox

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

Well I had fun today, one of puppy linux users Rupp ripped one cool gnome theme and modified for fluxbox, so I tweaked it this afternoon for my taste here’s the screenshot and this is not final verison, I did some more editing

I’ll probably upload both themes, rupps and mine modded somewhere and put links on forum or @ puppy-look

Trivia

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

Damn, these IRC trivia channels are so addictive, more then tetris consoles way back when they apeared. IRC trivias are like ultimate waste of time :P

Taking some photos

Friday, September 11th, 2009

I was playing a bit with my digital camera tonight, always wanted to do some pics with table lamp light, experimented a bit how to set everything so it looks the way I want, maybe I’ll add more pics, but here’s one with still life for start from my tonight’s photoset, that bluring around apples is mostly done by camera’s built-in effect, I also did some editing with GIMP and hey, this is good chance to test image embeding from deviantART. It seems dA uses flash for embeding though.

Yo ppl!

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

Hey there! Welcome to my blog! I don’t usually use Yo I just needed something better then Hello world :P Well. since this is my first post, I should probably write what’s it gonna be about, but it’s already in About page. I played a bit with wordpress, had it installed locally on my puppy linux install and xampp server enviroment, and decided I should have it here on my freehostia account. Stop by, cya!
