An undesirable feature
So the UOB guy calls and tells me that not having monthly statements sent to me is a feature of Campus accounts; you’re suppose to check your statements online, which only shows you the current and previous month statements.
But I’ll give it to them for giving me a checking account with interest (however pathetic) and [...]

Predictably, my Leopard copy of Saft no longer works on Snow Leopard. A new version was released today but it does not support native 64-bit mode Safari under Snow Leopard. There’s currently no upgrade option for Leopard users to Snow Leopard versions of Saft, and I’m not keen on paying the full US$15 for a [...]

Angry photographer rants
An angry, traditional photographer rants about how microstock photographers stole his big, fat pay cheque away, calls microstock low quality, and Robert—whose shot was bought by Time—a pervert:

Signs of bad Mac software

On most sane Mac software, I could have just clicked [...]

Signs of bad Mac software (before you even use it)
I’ve been avoiding the Canon provided software suite, including the Digital Photo Professional (DPP), like a plague. I’ve seen how my friend struggled with the interface, and It always seem like a piece of unpolished software. Today I decided to install it to compare the RAW outputs with Lightroom. True enough, even before I get [...]

Film bigots II
I took issue with a bigoted and misleading write-up by a group of “elite” film photographers at Anti Lomography with my previous post.
Someone, who posted a comment under a link to rangefinderfilipinas.com, replied:
Sorry, but you missed the point. Or a lot of points, I should say. If you read past the ‘about’ page, [...]

Film bigots
Over at Anti Lomography, a group of film purists are attacking what they deemed as their inferior film counterparts—lomographers who use “old film cameras that are generally of extremely poor quality and overpriced”.
They claim they aren’t anti-digital and support digital photography as one of the best ways to learn photography. But they would later add: [...]
