Dear Reader,
Yup... the number of post is going down and that's because I got more work to do, more attention to give my wife and Myrtille, so I can't really give much time to this blog.
But since last time, plenty things changed, I am still seeking for a good way to host pictures, although I found it, but I would like to have a proper way to present them and even though LR is doing a good job, it is not what I would like it to be at. I am still lacking of time. But I am still going to take each task and tackle them one by one.
This year will be my Home Theater project year. I bought a projector to Yukyin in order to give her her birthday gift and since then, we started to plan our Home Theater project.
The projector is a WDJ6351 from Viewsonic, 720p, 3D ready. I just ordered the amplifier for the sound system, will be there in a week I think. It will be complete DIY solution, AMP9-Basic from 41Hz.com :) and I'll probably drive some cheap DIY loudspeakers found here or there. My objective is to have everything by the end of March running and ready to load some last blu-ray. :)
Stay tune, there's plenty of work on my plate.

Trying Galleries with Lightroom... and new blog template...
Dear Reader,
When I was cleaning up my FTP, I accidentally deleted some files that were used by the previous template... and besides, it's not available anymore in the blogger system, so I went for the new ones. They are quite nice actually, so I hope this one looks good. I'll run it through Yukyin to ask for her advice.
Second big thing, I purchased Adobe Lightroom 3.0 and this piece of software... is... quite a good piece of software. I know that there is other alternatives on the market, but the first issue I needed to sort out was the compatibility with my DSLR, a Fuji S5 Pro which a lot of catalog/raw processing software don't support. Anyway, I followed the 3.0 development and now, I am using it. Very quick, very convenient, at least for me, Yukyin found it to much difficult to handle, lots of options everywhere, but to me, it makes sense, I import pictures, do the back-up in the same time, apply metadata, batch process, pick the ones I want, drag and drop them into publish and there are there on flickr/facebook/ftp.... isn't it simple? Anyway, I am overly thrilled by the features of this software and just for a few quirks, it answers pretty much 90% of my needs.
As you read my previous paragraph, you may have read that the software can publish to FTP. For LR user, it might not be a big deal, but I found it really convenient (now that I filled up my free flickr account), so here it is after the jump: Morning Jam. This is the complete gallery for my pictures session with Myrtille on her bed, the pictures from the previous post are from the same series.
Here is another picture to give you another insight:
Gallery is here: Morning Jam
I still need to work a bit the format, but it should give you a quick glance of my future plans for this blog and its photographic contains.
Time to me to jump in bed, Good night and take care!

Not dead yet!
Dear Reader,
It has been a while, like always... but I am not giving up blogging yet, it just that I have too many things to handle at the same time. Between work, where there was quite a stir lately, and home, with our noisy princess, life has been so much tiring these last months.
Myrtille continues to grow up, now, she is not walking yet, but crawling as fast as ever. She is getting noisy and all that stuff. I am still yelling at her quite a lot... not that good, but I pray that it won't affect her too much and that she will forgive me. I'll apologize when she will get older. Anyway, here are some of her last picture:
Yukyin was completely tired as our little princess decided to wake up at 7h15... on a sat morning, so I spend some time with her and the camera... Should do it more often...
Hehehe. Ah, last thing, I am thinking about moving away from Flickr, I reached my limit of free pictures there and I need to find a way to host my pictures.... in a cheaper and more permanent way, so I'll start to dig up my old ftp for that. You might see new galleries showing up.
Sorry for the wait though :)
