Singapore Trip (IMS)

See Thumbnails

These are some of a few photos I shot while away on business in SG. Since sessions from the week-long IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) conference were whole day affairs, I was not able to take much photos. By the time we’re done, it would have been dark outside already, and the last thing I wanted to do was haul a tripod around. I’d rather get my hands on cold bottles of Belgian beer which my new friend Peter introduced me to. Good thing there is ample supply here in Makati thanks to Beers Paradise in Polaris Street. They may be a bit pricey for beer bought locally, but at least it’s not as expensive as those in SG.

Anyway, the whole conference was basically composed of marketing pitches of vendors to telcos. It did try to do it in the guise of “technical tracks” but at the end of the day, the beer made it all good, which made my reunion with several circles of old friends more fun.

This trip was one of my so-called missions when I joined Novare (initially as a consultant, and later on as Head of Platforms).

Clouds Over The Makati City Hall (Time Lapse)

I was hoping the color of light would change dramatically but it didnt. However, subtle movement (cars, clouds) can be noticed if you look closely. :)


A Time Lapse Experiment

I’ve had my camera, a D300, for years now and it has this feature to shoot photos at pre-defined intervals. I’m practically hitting myself in the head for not trying this early on, but it’s never too late to give it a shot. So here’s my initial attempt at Time Lapse Photography. Camera was mounted on [...]


 


Black & White Film Processing At Home

With all the resources out there, this should quickly get you into film processing quickly. This is meant as a beginner’s How-To in developing/processing your Black and White film without the need of a darkroom. But, it should, by no means be considered as a one-top-shop for the topic. If you want to advance further or get more technical, tons of resources are available out there for googling.


Slowing Down and Reuniting with Film

One Way

In this day and age of digital cameras and warp-speed workflows, why would anyone want to go film? That’s a question that has been asked of me these past few weeks. I don’t know, maybe because after a stressful year at work and the associated warp-speed timelines,  I really DO want to SLOW down and [...]

Top Reasons Why You Might Want To Get That Backup Harddisk Already

Regardless of the interests that you have, it’s most likely that you have already accumulated huge amounts of data across the years. However you put it, these data is a big part of your life already. From your college papers, your business presentations, to your accounting and tax sheets, from your technical whitepapers to personnel [...]


Deliciously del.icio.us!

For anyone who uses, at the least, two computers (e.g. a home PC and an office laptop), maintaining a common set of bookmarks can be very tedious. When a change is made on one computer, I used to export bookmarks from it and import into the other, and vice-versa, in an almost vicious cycle. It [...]

Cafes Are Not Just About Exhorbitantly Priced Coffee

Have you ever found yourself trying to work on something for hours and still ended up with nothing at all? Sometimes, the best way to actually get work done is to just walk away from it and have a change of scenery. Let’s admit it, there will always be times when you’d want to just [...]


Plantar Fasciitis (Heel Pain) and How Cycling Helped Ease It

Several months ago, after years of whining, I finally consulted a doctor and was finally diagnosed with Plantar Fasciitis on my left foot. For those who don’t know, Plantar Fasciitis is a very painful condition of the heel which is aggravated by extensive standing, walking, running, and weight-bearing (including my own) activities. It has been [...]
