This is the 1st time I'm writting a photoshop tutorial

Version : Photoshop CS 3
Image Source : http://fav.me/d49e6lz

Vignette effect can be achieved easily if you have a lomography camera, but what if you don't have one?
Well the answer to your problem is Photoshop

So, here are the steps:
1. Open up the image in photoshop

2. Next duplicate the image layer under the menu (layer > duplicate layer)

3. Now open up the Lens Correction filter (Filter > Distort > Lens Correction)


4. Set the vignette option as shown in the picture below.


Then click ok

5. Now we are going to change the contrast level of the Red and Blue channel only without disturbing the Green Channel. So now click on the "Channels" tab
Select the Red Channel only




6. Now adjust the contrast level of the image under Brightness/Contrast (Image > Adjustments > Brightness/Contrasts)
Change the contrast level to 45% and click ok



7. Do the same for the green channel




8. Next, click back on the RGB channel to set all channels active, you should get almost the same picture as shown below




That's all for the lomography effect

9. However you may try to enhance the colour tone of the picture as you wish for. Try using the photo filter which can give a different colour tone (Image > Adjustments > Photo Filter)




Select the "Warming Filter (LBA)" as shown and click ok

10. There are various ways you can enhance your photos. Try playing around with all the effects
Enjoy

Here is one cool website you should probably pay a visit to

Although the search may look cool but it maybe a little hard to use if you really want to search for something important

So this is basically meant for fun

Yup, just recently I have bought a webcam just because I don't have one since I got quite a number of computer device already not to mention scanner, speaker, touch pad, errr.... printer later.

So the webcam I'm talking about it of course

Well the webcam looks awesome to me because the design of the webcam itself is really awesome, pictures are quite nice too.
It comes with a free headset that has a microphone too.
Even the webcam itself has a built-in mic with Logitech® RightSound Technology
So it is quite awesome

Then the price of course, it was RM 89. I would say it is worth the price, not too expensive and not too cheap.
Hey, this is Logitech, it is a good brand so why go for some cheap stuff which does not guarantee quality,

Time to show you a picture using my webcam (Of course not a pic of me though)


It's not blur, just that my hand was kinda shaky when the pic was about to be taken

So, conclusion : Worth buying it

Yes, the long awaited Firefox 4 is now released and you can start downloading it now!

As of now, Mozilla Fireofox 4 has been downloaded 5.5million times. That is like much higher than Internet Explorer 9 for the calculation of per day.

Well, recently I have operated this old pc which my dad wanted to throw away. OPERATE???

Not exactly. Lets just say removing those hardwares from the casing for fun
That is quiet an old PC. So here's the thing

Yes, I wonder for how long would I be struggling in this midst of boredom. SPM is over for me and now I'm waiting for my result.
Currently I am not joining any colleges or so on as I would prefer to wait for my result and then well decide.

I didn't even get National Service 1st batch. So that makes me maybe 2nd batch. Well maybe 2nd. Till then, I am rotting in this seat of mine and typing out this post.

So I thought of finding someway to spend my time.

Hmm, why not Rubic Cube, I thought.
Yes solving the rubic cube was never like how I used to play it. I could still remember those days when I was still small and I would spend hours on that cube thinking of a way to solve 2 colours.|
Then whenever I see anyone completing it, I thought they were absolutely smart as in freaking smart.

Now that I know there is actually a formula for all this, I feel that anyone who completes it, doesn't mean they are genius or something. I could complete it in less than a minute I guess without the urge to think too much.
Well see, it is just that simple. As simple as ABC :D

And here's a picture of the condition of my rubic cube



See those colour that are scrape off. Well that is just how much I played rubic cube everyday in that fast mode of mine.


That's not all, I am on the pc for like almost the whole day. That is why I decided to pay a visit to my blog and update it. Yup, up-da-te it
Imagine playing the same old game everyday. Boring huh?

I guess I gotta get myself a cadbury-chocolate bar and let it melt in my mouth. That might just work. Hmmm, might.

Ok in this section I would basically tell you what are the list of Operating System you might want to install on your virtual machine and the reason behind it.

Here is the thing
I am currently still using Windows XP but for my virtual machine I am currently using Windows 7

Reason
-I love high performance for gaming. When you install new operating system, the minimum requirment for your graphic processing unit and your memory would be higher in the latest OS compared to XP. So I prefer XP

Problems Occuring
- Yup, sure got
- I can't install any sound device on it. Having problem with that
- You are not able to transfer files easily from your OS to your virtual machine
- You are totally not able to transfer files from your virtual machine to your OS

Why this problem occured?
- Simple, because Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 doesn't really support Windows 7. You may install it but you can't have Virtual Machine Additions
- This means that certain support is not available

Virtual Machine Additions supports

• Windows Vista Ultimate
  
  
• Windows Vista Enterprise
  
  
• Windows Vista Business
  
  
• Windows XP Professional
  
  
• Windows XP Tablet PC Edition
  
  
• Windows 2000 Professional
  
  
• Windows 98 Second Edition
  
  
• IBM OS/2 Warp 4 Fixpack 15, OS/2 Warp Convenience Pack 1, and OS/2 Warp Convenience Pack 2

So, no Windows 7 right. Somehow, it is up to you which one you would like to install

Virtual PC virtualizes a standard PC and its associated hardware. Supported Windows operating systems can run inside Virtual PC. Other operating systems like Linux may run, but are not officially supported.

This is what that is stated in the Wikipedia sites. You may refer to Wikipedia for more info on Windows Virtual PC.

So, here's the thing. What can you do with Virtual PC?

• You can basically install another Operating System without disturbing your current Operating System. That means that your file are still secured back at your original OS.
• You can test any software which you have just bought or downloaded on your virtual OS before installing it onto your original PC. This means that it can be used for testing softwares.
• If you plan on teaching people how to format a PC, just use Virtual PC and you can teach them by installing an OS on a new virtual machine

so, if there is other function, great.
To start off, here's the way to do it

1) Download Microsoft Virtual PC - LINK
2) Install it
3) Start the application
4) Click on the new button or go to File>New Virtual Machine Wizard


5) Click Next
6) Select "Use Default Settings To Create A Virtual Machine"
7) Enter the Name and Location of The Virtual Machine You Want

8) Click Next
9) Click Finish
10) Here's what you get
11) Select Hard Disk 1, then select Virtual Disk Wizard
12) Click Next
13) Select "Create a new virtual disk
14) Select " A new virtual hard disk" unless of course if you plan to install it on other memory storage device
15) Select "Browse"
16) Upon that, type the name of your hard disk so that you can always find it back for some purpose and the location, choose yourself
17) Proceed
18) I prefer you select Fixed Size rather than the other options of course

19) Enter the size you want. Take note that there is a limit
20) Finish it
21) Select Hard Disk 1, then select Virtual Hard Disk option
22) Browse back for the Virtual Hard Disk you created earlier
23) Proceed
24) Click start on the new Virtual PC you have just created. That would open up a new window
25) Ensure that your OS cd/dvd is inserted into your reader
26) Go to CD > Use Physical Drive "Any one which you have the OS cd inserted"
27) Then you are ready to install your OS

Hope I have helped you

So lets see the specs of the RIG

Great

Blogging but yet nothing to say
How's that...

So, let's start with SCHOOLING
Went to school as usual and guess what... Realise that there is still LITERATURE COMPONENT homework which is not completed

OMG!!!
Since when????

Then I realise the homework was given on saturday and on that day I went for graphic design
Why no one mention about it!!!

Then , comes computer literacy
Guess what, Mr. Wong was teaching literature component
How's that... Then when he ask who knows how to use photoshop then you know what happens...

My name cames floating about in the air
Damn
Ask me question
wheww, lucky I can still answer otherwise dunno what to say

Then comes mr.SAM who tells me he wants meeting today
What in the world is that.. I thought I told them WEDNESDAY
So, first I say might not be able to attend then he replied nevermine he still continue the meeting
So, at last when I stayed back, it turned out that he went back early
DARN...

I hate it

Yet another day...
Well, today was a schooling for my school and also there was this "GRAPHIC DESIGN COMPETITION" organized by my school's IT Brigade...
The main topic of this competition is all about

Well done, IT BRIGADIERS. They have indeed organized it well especially ROBERT CHIA..

So, the worse part of it is there were only 3 other school competing in this competition
Well, simply because 2 others schools which were SBU & SBS had been quarantined. There was about 7 other teams which were from my school

Recently I've visited Intel's Site.
I've came across one interesting subject

Alrite, after a tiring day full of Photo-taking session, I made myself more tired.

Go to IT Lab after BM class. Guess wat?
The IT LAB was full of students. They were waiting for the speedtyping competition.
OMG. I hav to handle all of dat.
Go to c Pn.Murni to get some stuff den return back to handle the entrance fee for speed typing.
Dunno wat to say oredi.

How to hande so many people? However, proud to say 1 thing. This years speedtyping was the best since it has the most participant. Hooray!!!

After they left, few IT Brigadians and I started to test the speedtyping software. One of us, plucked 3 keyboard into one CPU and managed to broke a record of 467wpm(words per minute) with 0% accuracy.
Howver not as gud as the one with 2 keyboard but 500wpm with 0%accuracy. Haiizz, 2 keyboard win 3 keyboard.

Absolutely tiring.
I wan a rest.

Recently, I hav put a few blink effects on my text...




So let me explain bout this effect...
This effect is actually a HTML script n not a JAVA Script effect... GREAT right...

All content of the element of flashes on and off uncontrollably in a distracting manner.
The more content u place inside dis element, the more difficult is it to read between the flashes.
So try not to use this effect in all ur text as ppl will get ANGRY and Piss Offffffff...

Here's an EXAMPLE

I love to BLINK everywhere I Go...


Here's the code.. Replace the text "DRAGEXIUS" with ur desired text...

<blink>DRAGEXIUS</blink>
Simple Right....

Overclocking is the process of forcing a computer component to run at a higher clock rate than it was designed for or was designated by the manufacturer.

Overclocking is usually practiced by PC enthusiasts in order to increase the performance of their computers. Some hardware enthusiasts purchase low-end computer
components which they then overclock to higher speeds, while others overclock
high-end components to attain levels of performance beyond what they were designed for.

Users who choose to overclock their components usually focus their efforts on
processors, video cards, motherboard chipsets, and Random Access Memory (RAM).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Advantages
-The user can, in many cases, purchase a slower, cheaper component and overclock
it to the speed of a more expensive component.

-Faster performance in games, applications, and system tasks at no additional expense

-Some systems have "bottlenecks", where small overclocking of a component can help
realize the full potential of another component to a greater percentage than the
limiting hardware is overclocked. For instance, many motherboards with AMD Athlon
64 processors limit the speed of four units of RAM to 333 MHz. However, the memory
speed is computed by dividing the processor speed (which is a base number times a
CPU multiplier, for instance 1.8 GHz is most likely 9x200 MHz) by a fixed integer
such that, at stock speeds, the RAM would run at a clock rate near 333 MHz. Manipulating
elements of how the processor speed is set (usually lowering the multiplier),
one can often overclock the processor a small amount, around 100-200 MHz (less than 10%),
and gain a RAM clock rate of 400 MHz (20% increase), realizing the full potential of the
RAM

Disadvantages
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The lifespan of a processor is negatively affected by higher operation frequencies,
increased voltages and heat. However, overclockers argue that with the rapid obsolescence
of processors coupled with the long life of solid state microprocessors (10 years or more),
the overclocked component will likely be replaced before its eventual failure. Also,
since many overclockers are enthusiasts, they often upgrade components more often than
the general population, offering further mitigation of this disadvantage.

Overclocking has a risky potential to end in component failure ("heat death").
Most warranties do not cover defunct units that result from overclocking activities


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nowadays overclocking is made easier for pc users...
For instance the ASUS ROG RAMPAGE EXTREME which has Tweakit "joystick" whereby users get to use it to to optimize the performance outside of BIOS or OS.

Text area are usually place in a blog for purposes like adding certain embeded code or any other codes for the purpose of sharing it. Here's the code for a "TEXT FIELD"

Here's an example of a text area code...



Here's the code for the text area




So what you need to do is just replace the text "DRAGEXIUS" with your desired code.

It is just that simple...
Until then.!.!.!
