Photoscaping

If you notice my recent blog entries in another website (provided if you are aware of it), you’ll find out I put some “enhanced” photos. I don’t really like to edit photos (taking the originality and time consumption into consideration, and of course, the lacking of the skill to photoshopping the photos is another main reason to this...). However, my blogmates use a tool called PhotoScape to copyright our photos, and add some effects to the photos to keep us “anonymous”... (Oppsss... did I reveal anything here? nope. :D) This is a great tool, where you can add frame to your photos, resize them, adjust the colours, combining photos, crops the photos and etc. This is one of the amazing things that shown in the website of what this tool can do. This is the interface of the tool. I forgot did I downloaded the Chinese version, or it’s due to my PC is set to Chinese language; the function shown in the tool is in Chinese. :P This tool is freeware, and you can download it freely at http://www....

BBC Weather

I went to Australia and New Zealand for the first time, self-sponsor, and back-packing and partly of the trip on my own. Some warned me of the weather and climate in these countries. If it is a rainy day during the tour, it might not be a pleasant trip. Or during storm, monsoon, or any other weather terms that I don’t see in Malaysia... Well, most likely I don’t know them. I have booked my tickets, pay for it. There’s no way I would cancel my trip... Anyway, I googled some weather related websites and found this website. It’s from BBC.

My friend, Milky, sent me a link. We are so crazy of Cheer’s songs, and we kinda form a group to play and sing her song together. This website contains the guitar scores for Cheer’s songs! I have downloaded the zip files, and guess what?! This website owner even has the guitar strumming and guitar plucking quick reference in the zip file! This zip file is also having updates and patches just like a software tool! Currently, there are 61 guitar scores in the zip file. I have gone through the web page. Currently, there are 91 scores available for download, these excluding Cheer’s songs. They are well documented, and definitely a very good reference for music lovers likes me to learn and practice guitar. :) I just downloaded Richard Marx’s Now and Forever score. It’s a tab, without the lyrics and chords. Well, I might be “over-rated” the score and tab available here. But... but... aren’t these scores and tabs are fabulous? :D http://www.sau-leung.com/
