Meow Meow – in loving memory

It has been exactly a year since our previous killer guard cat, Meow Meow, passed away. Despite of how much we tried to help him, because we thought of him as a family member, it did not turn out the way we had hoped for. Here is a little post of our family pet who spent his entire life with us.

HG Seravee Gundam – Part 1

Finally, after months, if not years of not making any Gundams, today I decided to spend some time getting reacquainted with my hobby. I decided to start with a High Grade kit as there are fewer pieces to work with and hopefully it will take less time. So here is my progress.

High Grade Kshatriya and High Grade Seravee Gundam GNHW/B

Suddenly, the Winter weather returned today. It was rainy and windy just like the usual Vancouver Winter weather would be. What is better for fighting off winter blue than to get myself some new Gunplas? Went to a local store in Richmond and got these two Gunplas and feeling pretty good after :) Retail therapy works I am telling you.

Macro Food Photos 2

This is the second instalment of macro food photos. This time the theme is dessert! Don’t look if you don’t have access to food incase your stomach complains too much and you can’t do anything about it ^^

The photo above is a hazel nut cheese cake. It has chocolate toping and hazel nut flavored whipped cream decoration. The side of the cake is sprinkled with crunched nuts to add extra flavor. The layered cheese cake makes a super delightful dessert.

Flash Light Photography

With the help of a flash light, you can take some pretty interesting photos during day time. One common way to use a flash is to light up your subject when it is back-lit by the environment. This technique is used mostly on portraits photography but of course you are free to choose your subjects.

Acer easyStore h340 VGA Add-on

Most of the packaged Windows Home Servers are headless.  This includes the Acer easyStore h340 and the various HP Media Smart Servers. Being headless at first sounds like a great idea. Since it is a server, you will use it more or less like a network attached storage device, and you will interact with it using the Windows Home Server Connector software to setup most of the configurations. If you really want to log in to it, you can always use the remote desktop client. That was what I thought until I ran into some issues with Windows and would like to troubleshoot it right on the server. A headless server that came without any video output makes that impossible. Luckily I found this cable from VOV Technology.
