1st of May was again International Communist Camera Day, and since my Zorki was collecting dust for a while, I decided to give it a spin. And what could be a better place then the flea market in Viktring. Also it gave me a good chance to play with my new Minolta AutoMeter IV. And [...]

Lights Out
Today was the big “lights out” day aka Earth Hour. A some may know, in cities all over the world, lights (mostly on famous landmarks and similar stuff) is turned off from 8:30pm to 9:30pm. Klagenfurt joined tom, turning the lights off on the Lindwurm, the city symbol and the city hall. Well, mostly on [...]
Playing by Music
Last day for our video project, before the next morning rises, we need to have it all on a silver disk. And still, there is plenty to do. We started with the audio stuff yesterday, but it was just a start, most of the work still waited for us, including getting the film music and [...]
Working with Apples
As soon as at comes to Apple computers, troubles start for me. And today was no different. Last week I got a cheap 160Gb external harddrive, USB was broken for some reason, but Firewire works fine. Since I wanted the disk for my old G3, who just has USB 1.1 that was fine by me. [...]
BarCamp Day 1
Another Barcamp taking place at the university, great way to meet people and talk about the latest technology. Funny thing, as soon as the Barcamp started today, the snow started to fall, and we got quite a lot today. Since we were indoor, no big deal. Sessions today were all pretty interesting, just a tad [...]
Mac Troubles and Films Up
Weather still not great, but at least it looks like its improving. Only upside, I could do the scanning today. Mac-problems keep me from finishing both today, so the 2nd one has to wait for tomorrow. I hopefully finish the 2nd one tomorrow after shopping. For the Mac Problems, I need to find a way [...]
Film News
the weather didn’t really improve over the least days, so with no good weather to take photos, it was at least good weather to develop photos. Since I hadn’t found my XTOL yet, I mixed up some of my 10 year old Microphen powder – and that worked great. I finally managed to develop on [...]
Merry Christamas Everyone
As an annual christmas tradition, we made our usuall family roundtrip today. We started with a trip to Wolfsberg, one I planned to do a time lapse on. Camera and everything was ready, but I didn’t consider the rain, the moving wipers would have ruinied it. The rain got softwer once we arrived in Wolfsberg, [...]
Early Christmas
Day started with a taxi job to Villach. My plan was, while I was there, to take a nice walk around the snowy town. Sadly, I totally underestimated the traffic there, instead of walking there for half an hour or more, I just was stuck in traffic all the time. No chance to go anywhere [...]
Walking in a Winter Wonder Land
After a day full of snow coming from the sky, the later one cleared up today to a beautiful clear blue. Being a Sunday, we took the opportunity today and were going to visit my grandpa, not only it was nice to say hi to him again, it also was a good way to get [...]
