I have to clean it up a bit

I just noticed, that the way I applied tags do not work too well – I really have to limit their count. I also found some spelling mistakes here and there. It turns out that the speed at which I restarted is too big for me to keep the quality high enough. That’s why I will take a few days break, clean it up, and then switch to two-posts-per-weak mode, at least for some time.

A not-so-quick look at the lens focal length

There is a lot of talk about guides to selecting lens sets. I decided to add my two cents into the mixture. How to select lens focal length when deciding on new system?

Another post to throw out

Funny… it’s week now since I restarted this – I wanted to find enough time to post at least once but it turned out that I can provide everyday posts… let’s see how long I can keep it up.

Found on the web

An old strip from PhD Comics… maybe I should try this next semester? 🙂

Good stuff: Diablo Swing Orchestra

Short post once again. It’s about Diablo Swing Orchestra. I found out about this band about year ago – now, they released their third album – Pandora’s Piñata.

Worth visiting in the web: Ramón Miranda

Today I’d like to point you to page of one of my friends – Ramón Miranda – talented digital (and traditional) painter, who uses free and libre graphics software. On his page, you will not only find some good drawings, but also video tutorials and other materials for Gimp, Krita or MyPaint – which includes GPS, his already famous brush presets for Gimp.

My setup for audio

I like good music. And I don’t like partial solutions. Recently I decided to invest some time and money into my sound system. Due to lack of space I decided it has to integrate nicely with my current home PC running Linux. It turns out, that you can get really nice quality!

A day with LaTeX: add extra empty pages at end of the document

There are cases when we want to place empty pages at end of our documents. If we are adding constant number of pages, it’s easy. But what it the page count should be dynamic, to for example meet publisher requirements like “page count divisible by 4”?

A not-so-quick look at the DTP and authoring software

Today I’d like to talk about DTP and authoring software. For those who do not know this, DTP stands for Desktop Publishing and I will use terms DTP software and typesetting software interchangeably. How to select good software for task at hand? There seems to be plenty solutions, but which are really good and produce top quality results? Let us see.

First post, kind of…

I believe it is finally time to start some blog. This is not the first time I’m trying it, but who knows – maybe this time it will work out. When I looked at junk I had here, I decided to make a fresh start, that’s why this is first post, but not really “first first post”.
