Oi people - think before you click!Yesterday I got spammed to hell with messages linking to different variants of this image:
They can have slightly different graphics or contain different links but the message is always basically the same - go to this page and you'll receive 20 000

.
I have to ask the question - how dim do you have to be to fall for it?
Ok let's see - we have an image hosted on a profile that is 1 day old and asks you to visit a website with a strange url with a promise of a financial reward on an another website. How do you even imagine that would work? And now, of course, people start crying that their computers got infected with malware. Which is great - every genius who fell for this obvious phishing scam deserved it. I hope your shitty computer burns and you along with it.
I know this is a no-duh for 90% of people reading it but for the sake of the rest lets revise what we all should know about online phishig. And before you go all:
No, no you can't.

Bronies go nuts, and Nintendo Sucks?Equestria Girls
The trailer to "Equestria Girls" (the humanized MLP spinoff film) finally was released today. Aaaannnd everyone's freaking out. Again.
You know, it actually looks pretty decent. Bronies... please understand: I know you're a major unexpected demographic for the show. I know you enjoy seeing shout-out's become canon within the show, and appreciate how the creators do little things here and there for you. But... the show isn't made for you. This is not Cartoon Network and the target demographic isn't 25 year olds in college. You're a nice addition to the target demographic of little girls, but you are not the driving force behind MLP.
I don't want this to sound mean, but it needs to be said. This is where it becomes very important to understand the fine line between being a fan of the show and thinking that because you've invested so much energy into the show that you're entitled to things.
I'm sure the movie won't be as bad as everyone makes it out to be. It honest

Opinions are a Dangerous thing: Art StylesThis isn't about narking on anyone no, infact this is just my own muses really! You could say this is a journal for ENCOURAGEMENT! *SHINES*
I find sticking to one style restrictive if you are a beginning/moderate artist! (even professionals I might say! though I can't speak for everyone)
Having a distinctive look on how your art is done and produced is understandable and its a desire to appear unique to the point some one can just SEE your work and instantly think 'Oh! that's Ten-days!' or something along the line. However, when you are trying to find who you are and what kind of art you are to produce, I recommend trying, well, a lot of different things! Different styles, mixing styles, different colouring techinque, brushes, tools, shading. Don't feel dependant on what you are already doing and don't feel pressured by people just for trying new things!
Push out of your comfort zone. Can't draw hands? don't avoid it! draw the heck out of them! (how else are you going to learn?)

Made a video again :P...another fake Parashi Opening: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGa8pPlOxuQ
It's really choppy and suuuuuper scribbly because I took like 30 seconds to draw each frame. Please fill in the gaps and gloss over the art with your wonderful imagination! I made it in Windows Movie Maker which is an absolutely evil program =o=
I'll try to fix up the ugly pictures and maybe add some color when I have time, and reupload another version later :b (don't know when though.) For now feel free to watch this one and laugh at it huhuhu

Sadly I will be alone for this one. Matt had to do a concert he didn't want to do, so I will be live tweeting (humonlazydiva) my impression of the whole shebang.

Not going overseas next month

Journal Entry: Sun Oct 14, 2007, 9:32 AM

_{Argh! Trip to Shanghai-Huangshan, China was canceled because nobody wanted to attend it. Just pure bad luck, i'm thinking about letting go my Canon 5D because of it and downgrade to a 20D model. I'm going to miss the 5D so much, but anyway, I don't earn much of a living from photography, and hardly use my camera. So I guess it's better to let it go soon.

My parents promised me that they will take me to Huangshan, China next year or maybe some where else this end of the year. But anyhow, i'll definitely travel in Europe next year too, and i'll grab back a 5D or 1D MKII as soon before the trip. Got to have a real semi-pro body, it feels great holding it.

I haven't been to Shanghai or Huangshan, but according to my friend, they're drop dead gorgeous. So it's just bad luck, I guess. Same situation with me here, if the travel agency can't extend my trip to Japan, I'm not going either. Instead it might be a visit to Hong Kong. If you sum it up, it's a pick one package.

Hmm... guess what comes around goes around.

Just adding to the stream of comments, it seems really weird that you're already selling it, although if you're making a profit then I guess it's all good. Why go a 20D instead of a 30D? Both are used, but the price differential doesn't seem that big any more. Ah well, your call, I'm getting a 40D at the end of the year and I can't wait

Reply

~couleur Oct 16, 2007

20D is far cheaper after the exchange rate, maybe in Australia the difference is about 100-200 Aussie dollar if not mistake. But I could had spend that money on an upgrade of my 430EX to a 580EX II. Plus, the 20D is now a safer model, i'll get it when around 1,800-2,000 ringgit. The 30D is about 2,800 ringgit for a used unit and the 40D kit is 4,150 ringgit street price.

But I am so going to miss the 5D, its a rock and the metering is so superb and accurate, best camera. I'll rent it if I want to use it, and i'll buy it once i'm going to Australia to study. Maybe a 5D MKII or a 7D

.. hehe, who knows?

~klips Oct 16, 2007 Photographer

Ah, fair enough, that is a fair difference and I can understand wanting the extra functionality of the 580. Good luck, and good on you for coming down south

... i'll go up north one day.

Reply

~couleur Oct 16, 2007

It's safer to stick with a 20D, i can get it for less then 2,000 ringgit , the used 30D are around 2,800 ringgit. 40D, 4,150 ringgit, i'm selling my 5D for 6,950-7,150 ringgit.

I'd rather pay another 800 ringgit for an upgrade on my 430EX.

Flashes last longer.

I need to go to China too. I wanna go see Tien an Mun.

I think I had been there before. I had traveled in China for about 9 times, all different places.
