I’ve Moved!
November 20, 2008
So I’m sure that most people have noticed that the site has been offline for a few days. There’s a reason for that, which I will get to shortly. But first, let me just say this:
In fact, I am blogging at a new site I have just finished setting up: kennethhynek.net. A full explanation for the reasons behind the move can be found here
.
That said, this is not the end of Time Immortal. My wife Grace has expressed interest in taking over blogging at this domain, and I am working to make sure that she gets set up here as soon as possible.
Also, my profound apologies for the modification to the site face; the move was not as seamless as I would have hoped, and many of the image files for this theme, and in the gallery, were corrupted during the course of their evacuation from my previous web host’s servers. Until such time as I have repaired them, I’ve put a clean-looking template in place of the previous one.
Update: for the purposes of further traffic shaping, new posts from kennethhynek.net will be excerpted below. Full articles can be read at the new blog.
Pic of the Day #29
October 19, 2006
Not strictly the best picture I’ve ever taken of a laptop.
Where was this taken?
But there is an interesting effect I want to draw your attention to, all the same. You see, I took this shot at an aperture value of f29 — a very small opening, which gives me a very large depth of field as a result (I wanted most/all of the keyboard, as well as the monitor, to be in focus).
Of course, that makes for a much longer shutter speed as a result. More than ten seconds, in fact.
And interestingly, in that time, the camera catches a very clear glimpse of the pixels on the LCD display. Ignore the swirling appearance of the zoomed-out photo — that’s just some moire effect resulting from the scaling. Up close, the grid pattern of the pixels is intact.
And kinda neat to look at.
And yes…now you all get a look at what my Powerbook’s Dock looks like, and what applications I have “at my fingertips” on a regular basis.
