It is one great looking device, plus it is much lighter compare to 10" tablets. Android Jellybean offers big improvement over Honeycomb. I owned 10" Galaxy Tab, I almost never used it for anything, since it is really bad. The browser is bad, and the tablet can become very slow over time.<br />
<br />
Nexus 7 comes to the rescue. However, I got some issue with the LCD. It seems that ASUS has pretty bad QA. The LCD is not properly attached to the body. It is lifted by tiny bit, and I can feel it by gently touching the glass. I have contacted Google. They have confirmed that these issues are common. It just convinced me even more that ASUS has really bad QA. I will try to avoid their products in the future. I have had one bad experience with their laptop about 10 years ago. I thought they have changed.<br />
<br />
The replacement tablet is on its way, and I hope it doesn't posses similar problem to my current one.<br />
<br />
<b>UPDATED:</b> The replacement Nexus 7 still had the screen separation issue, it's even worse than my original. I decided to refund the item, because the screen separation issue was such a deal breaker for me.<br />

Most of the resources I found out there do not show me how to include mysql client library as well as SimpleXML parser. These two libraries are needed for my case. Following are the how to
<b>Download PHP Source Code</b><br />
<br />
I am using PHP 5.4.2. You can download it from php site.<br />
<br />
<b>Download libxml</b><br />
<br />
I am using libxml2-2.8. TOOLCHAIN_DIR is the directory pointing to your toolchain library, in my case, it's <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">/opt/toolchain/</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><wbr></wbr></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">arm-2009q3/arm-none-linux-</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><wbr></wbr></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">gnueabi/libc</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">.</span></span><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
It has been a while since my last post. I have been busy doing low level C stuff related to Bluetooth and WiFi in the last two years. There are couple of findings that I want to share during these years. I hope they could be useful to others as well.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Let's get down to the topic. We have been using GSOAP C++ to handle our web service call. We could tweak GSOAP to support unicode on Windows by modifying the typemap.dat file:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><b>xsd__string = | wchar_t* | wchar_t*</b></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><i>(note: some might wonder why we don't use std:string or std:wstring, one of the requirement given to us was to use primitive data type, so we don't really have choices here)</i></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
In Windows. char is 8 bits only and wchar_t is 16 bits. Things are good, we used wchar_t* to store all our strings. Then, we migrated to Linux. In Linux, we are using char, because it is already capable of supporting UTF-8 unicode (i.e. datatype char in Linux is 16 bits).</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Under Linux, GSOAP doesn't support unicode if char is used. We found it too troublesome to change all our string datatype to to wchar_t*. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
I finally come up with the idea to hack header file generated by GSOAP wsdl2h. I modified certain strings that needs to be in unicode to wchar_t*. So, only certain string variables are in wchar_t*, not all.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Next, I encounter problem trying to convert wchar_t* to char*. Using wcstombs doesn't help. I have UTF-32 stored in wchar_t* from GSOAP, and I am trying to convert it to UTF-8 stored in char*.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
I finally find handy help from <a href="http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/17573/Convert-Between-std-string-and-std-wstring-UTF-8-a">code project</a>. It pointed me to unicode.org library file; however, it's a broken link. I manage to find it hosted somewhere in <a href="http://gears.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/third_party/convert_utf/">Googlecode site</a>. The code project help and unicode.org library help me to convert wchar_t* to char* (UTF-32 to UTF-8) successfully. It's a big relief.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
That's it for now.</div>closarihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05394249343681819087noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501472915281155204.post-73757775619705228462010-05-26T10:39:00.000-07:002010-05-26T10:39:40.252-07:00ADB Driver for HTC Evo 4GI just came back from Google IO 2010. It is awesome developer conference. Each attendee was given Nexus One , HTC Evo 4G, and of course Google TV Socks :) HTC Evo 4G is amazing device.<br />

I got home, hooked the Evo to my PC and found that my Windows machine did not recognize it. I managed to find the solution in Android Developer Google Groups, you can read it <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/191222cc0bd8f397/649444a2ddfef884?lnk=gst&q=adb+driver#649444a2ddfef884">here</a>. We basically need to modify the entry in android_winusb.inf to add the VID and PID of HTC Evo. You can download the modified android_winusb.inf from <a href="http://coniques.com/temp/android_winusb.inf">here</a> (right click on the link and select save as).closarihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05394249343681819087noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501472915281155204.post-15718714383136543132009-12-14T19:56:00.000-08:002009-12-15T09:48:10.028-08:00IEC Christmas 2009 / Projector CalibrationWe just finished with our church Christmas Celebration, it was tiring, but it was worth it. We had wonderful team working together to serve God in this event. Great job guys and gals!<br />

</div><br />
I would like to share one challenge we encounter in the visual presentation team. The challenge actually starts last December, but I just write about it now. Last December, we are asked to utilize projector for helping audience to virtualize settings in the drama, since we do not have any physical stage decorations. So far so good, we just create the contents and display them using appropriate program. Ideally, we will have something like the following.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB4f71HdIJs6wtKWPmVvxDJlJj8CSLQb1y2iKzZfJon2qEaCNCOMAFUJ144wHad6CESedXH7kqJzeDChxhhDMmTO1-zfRUkDKlHT3HxWGwLznlktfJfo_ptK7OaNMy5gWlC9gJZyDOoyA/s1600-h/ideal.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB4f71HdIJs6wtKWPmVvxDJlJj8CSLQb1y2iKzZfJon2qEaCNCOMAFUJ144wHad6CESedXH7kqJzeDChxhhDMmTO1-zfRUkDKlHT3HxWGwLznlktfJfo_ptK7OaNMy5gWlC9gJZyDOoyA/s640/ideal.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Ideal Projector Placement (credit to Martin for the illustration)</span> <br />
</div><br />
However, we could not implement the ideal projector placement. We have problem hanging the projector, as we do not have skill to build custom mounting bracket that could be hang on the curtain's rod (i.e. we rent the building, so we could not mount anything on the wall). Ehm...trouble, fortunately, I found an idea that we could use. If I could put the projector on the side and adjust the perspective, I could achieve larger projection size without obstructing drama/choir people and I do not have to hang the projector at the top center. In short, the program development is started right away and the first version is used last December, unfortunately, with a lot of bugs :( <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5qeGoBq5NYLKJczbcHswET1Ddpl92XqK_JlZPBoaOJ-yPheU0iUBaJzxkg7Gc7fpDHgumNeV0XG3cZxR_RiGJrj9R_gi0abZ8pPaJa3lM6HDUVkpOhEOxbR0lGfYUG-YDMyy-yETdO_A/s1600-h/implemented.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5qeGoBq5NYLKJczbcHswET1Ddpl92XqK_JlZPBoaOJ-yPheU0iUBaJzxkg7Gc7fpDHgumNeV0XG3cZxR_RiGJrj9R_gi0abZ8pPaJa3lM6HDUVkpOhEOxbR0lGfYUG-YDMyy-yETdO_A/s640/implemented.jpg" /></a><br />

</div><br />
In the initial release, the ideal perspective could not be achieved, because I only consider translation, scaling, and skewing. I miss rotation. Hence, on last December event, half of the projection image looks ok, the other half looks stretched :( Moreover, there are heavy memory leak on the program at that time as well, so video playing is pretty bad.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiExKF45YGDg4uOJzENLLR44In2pFUJc0tf6avAfh-z_5K9zstZjotbo0qfoiMxHOy3qjybLsq1txE82Y2eG3TwLjXVBrtI0lrwEJSWrFTD6_zuVDSrUjUshLfWOcu-ZuxdWhbnD5T6Qj4/s1600/CNQ_7992.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiExKF45YGDg4uOJzENLLR44In2pFUJc0tf6avAfh-z_5K9zstZjotbo0qfoiMxHOy3qjybLsq1txE82Y2eG3TwLjXVBrtI0lrwEJSWrFTD6_zuVDSrUjUshLfWOcu-ZuxdWhbnD5T6Qj4/s400/CNQ_7992.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Image on the left side is ok, but it is stretched on the right side</span><br />
</div><br />
Time passed, the program is still used on Easter, but this time we avoid placing projector at extreme angle to avoid rotation problem I mentioned above. We are ok this time since the building we rent has enough space that allow us to do rear projection, and we also put another projector on the balcony. In total, we used three projectors: two projectors for rear projection to form 2048x768 resolution, and one projector on the balcony, mainly used for subtitle and video (i.e. projector calibration is disabled on this projector).<br />

</div><br />
This year, we are renting the same building as last year. Ehm...I am pretty scared when hearing about this. I suggest to the stage coordinator (ko Hendri) to find a way to mount the projector on top at the center of the stage.<br />
<br />
In the mean time, I try to go through my program's code to perform various improvements, I also added rotation as one of the variable when adjusting the perspective. I fix most of memory leak, but I am sure there are still some that still exist. I do not have enough time to dig into this. However, we are able to handle video playing at 1024x768 without any problems.<br />
<br />
So I notify ko Hendry and do demo to show that the program could be used again this time. He agreed and then we proceed with it. We do however need to rent a projector with 4000 ANSI Lumens, since our projector could not handle it (ie. 2500 ANSI Lumes).<br />

That's it, I forgot to mention that everything is done in Flash, which could easily top up CPU usage. Machine on the left (gray machine) is used as controller for both audio and video. Machine on the right is running the projector calibration program only. It is being controlled via socket by the gray machine. I used my Android G1 to remote control the audio and WiiMote to remote control the projector calibration program. It is possible to control everything just with mouse and keyboard, but I am more comfortable with this setup.<br />

It now supports RFCOMM Bluetooth, which is great for peer to peer communication. WIFI is great but it does not work when you want to establish communication with other devices in WIFI-less environment. I also could not depend too much on 3G, in some areas, it is very slow and sometimes it does not even exist.<br /><br /><object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/opZ69P-0Jbc&hl=en&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/opZ69P-0Jbc&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object>closarihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05394249343681819087noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501472915281155204.post-64068299662748638552009-10-05T19:35:00.000-07:002009-10-05T20:51:57.066-07:00Automating inDesign for Repeating Content and QR Code<div style="text-align: left;">Our <a href="http://www.gii-net.org/">church</a> is going to hold Bible Camp this coming week. We are all getting busy preparing for this event. I am responsible for creating publication materials, such as event booklet, brochure, name tag, etc.</div><div><br /></div><div>Creating name tag might sound easy, but how about creating name tags for 50 persons. It will be painful to do it manually, copy and paste the layout plus typing names fifty times. So, I did some reading on Adobe inDesign documentation and found out that it's possible to create placeholders for repeating content using XML. <a href="http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/indesign/articles/indcs2at_placeholder.html">Here</a> is the article that I used. I just need to design the name tag, generate XML data for all attendees using Perl script, import XML to inDesign, and inDesign will do the rest of the work. </div><div><br /></div><div> </div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixYx26uEg66p203frIbzyPDEeypAy7htd4AAqal1GQvsuvTuFbgwaKwN3Q6bvM0GWzM8ocAqaNypxHDa25GfXB9ZEFcNlilAdjpIpEqNybudHOePJLUVdovhgScB-NA4eMzvliNBRkTe4/s1600-h/snapshot.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 369px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixYx26uEg66p203frIbzyPDEeypAy7htd4AAqal1GQvsuvTuFbgwaKwN3Q6bvM0GWzM8ocAqaNypxHDa25GfXB9ZEFcNlilAdjpIpEqNybudHOePJLUVdovhgScB-NA4eMzvliNBRkTe4/s400/snapshot.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389312786638695682" /></a><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">Generated Output by inDesign</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div>Notice above figure, there is small box on the right of each name.

I am currently using Android Developer Phone 1 as my main phone, and I cannot find any "Alkitab" app yet on the market. I knew that Alkitab app exists for iPhone and J2ME platforms. Hence, I decided to develop one myself. Please keep in mind that the content of "Alkitab" is copyrighted by Lembaga Alkitab Indonesia (LAI).<br /></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);"><img src="http://coniques.com/rss/alkitab/ss/book.png" alt="" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 480px;" border="0" /></span></div><div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://coniques.com/rss/alkitab/ss/verse.png"><br /><img src="http://coniques.com/rss/alkitab/ss/verse.png" alt="" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 480px;" border="0" /></a></div><div><br /></div>You can download the apk file from <a href="http://coniques.com/rss/alkitab_1_0_0.apk">here</a>.

Their packs include Indonesian as one of the available languages. I am not sure why Google did not include Indonesian in 1.6, since the TTS service in 1.6 is basically derived from <a href="http://code.google.com/p/eyes-free/">Eyes-Free</a> project.<br /><br />That's it, I will start playing with new gesture recognition feature added in 1.6.closarihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05394249343681819087noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501472915281155204.post-69560493452993911362009-09-19T17:32:00.000-07:002009-09-29T17:48:29.685-07:00Android DeveloperI found this in goodies section at android.com.

As the name implies, it is usually during Spring Time, after the Winter term ends, but before the Summer term starts.<br /><br />Spring Fellowship is basically the funnest activities for youth. It's kinda like Bible Camp, but with very limited Bible sessions, and a whole lot of free time, games, and sight-seeing. Not to mention BBQ and scavenger hunting. And the weekend is usually spent somewhere far from the ordinary, places you wouldn't visit by yourself, if not for the Spring Fellowship. Youth (and youth at hearts) are usually very excited to go on Spring Fellowship. And this year was no exception.<br /><br />This year, the Spring Fellowship was at Pemberton during Mother's Day weekend. Pemberton was a small city about 1 hour north of Whistler. The Cottage was in the Valley, surrounded by mountains, farming lands, and grass.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3595/3538329778_ac43be9792.jpg?v=0"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 500px; height: 334px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3595/3538329778_ac43be9792.jpg?v=0" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;">View from the parking lot<br /></span></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2355/3537517249_022323c122.jpg?v=0"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 500px; height: 334px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2355/3537517249_022323c122.jpg?v=0" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;">Yup, behind the cottage was the cow stall.

The last person on the line would flip coin until he/she got a head. Then that person would shake the hand of the people in front of them. The first person on the line would then throw a cup full of baby powder to the opponent's face.

I though the phone is going to be extra thick and heavy, but no, it's not. It's a pretty well design phone. I can't hardly wait now to start writing code on Android for my home automation system.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3131/3118839639_fef22d2599.jpg?v=0" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3131/3118839639_fef22d2599.jpg?v=0" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 334px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 500px;" /></a><br />
First problem I encounter is how to activate the phone without having data plan with my provider. I have plenty of dummy simcard (simcard that without any phone or data plan). I found nice instruction on android developer google group site:<br />
<ul><li>download the SDK, you basically need adb in order to send command to the phone.</li>
<li>run adb and type<br />
</li>
</ul><span style="color: red; font-family: courier new; font-size: 85%;"></span><br />
<blockquote><span style="color: red; font-family: courier new; font-size: 85%;">am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.Settings</span><br />
</blockquote><ul><li>this will bring you to wifi setting on your phone, and from there, you can activate the wifi, and finally, register your phone using any simcard without data plan</li>
</ul>Following are some pics:<br />

I tried to compare the size with iPhone 3G, the width and height is about the same. However, HTC Dream is thicker compare to iPhone.<br />

I think I left it at the museum. That tripod has accompanied me on every single trip since mid 2004. The tripod itself was almost due for replacement, because it didn't provide enough support anymore for my current gear.<br />
<br />
So, I decided to buy another tripod. This time, I want to buy a pro tripod within my price range, because I will bring it for sure in most of my trip. Speaking of pro tripod, there are only two brands in my mind: Gitzo and Manfrotto. I browse online trying to make a decision. It's hard to decide when you don't touch the actual item. Hence, I visited my camera store and spent sometimes playing with various tripods from these two manufacturers.<br />
<br />
There is one Gitzo tripod that I really like; however, due to price constraint, I had to go with <a href="http://www.manfrotto.com/190cx-carbon-fibre-q90-4-section-tripod" target="_blank">Manfrotto carbon fiber tripod, 190CXPRO4</a>. This model was released this year on March 2008.<br />
<br />

One cool feature for this tripod is the "Manfrotto’s innovative and award-winning Q90° (Quick Center Column System)". It allows the center column to be rotated to horizontal position with a simple motion.<br />
<br />

The tripod is 100% carbon fiber and it utilizes magnesium alloy for the top plate.<br />
<br />

As for the tripod head, I am open to any brands. My requirement is fairly simple: it can handle the load of my camera and one of my heaviest lens, plus a quick release. After playing around with several brands, I decided to go with Giotto MH1301.<br />
<br />

It is a ball-head type. I prefer ball head compare to three way head when it comes to photography. There are two rotating dial for controlling the friction of the ball. There is one rotating dial for adjusting the rotation angle that will come useful when taking panoramic.<br />
<br />

That's it. I haven't used the tripod intensively. I can't hardly wait for my next trip :)closarihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05394249343681819087noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501472915281155204.post-54000997827693033152008-09-06T00:11:00.000-07:002012-08-10T15:49:18.564-07:00New Gadget - Sandisk Ultra II Compact FlashI got this card from Best Buy, it cost me $70 + tax. It was pretty good deal compare to the other stores. At its maximum speed (15 MB/S), this card could only support 4.5 fps; my D200 could go at 5 fps. At this moment, it is ok because 8GB Extreme III card is still way more expensive.<br />

We went to Comox last long weekend, which was one of the reason why I bought this card. I could shoot the whole day and I only only need to change card once. I will post our Comox trip picture later. Currently, I am still busy with work related stuffs, so I don't have time to select thousand of photos we took. Following is the preview.<br />

Their capacities are relatively small, 128MB - 512MB. Oliv and Yuli put kids toys and books. Most of our customers are kids, so Yuli's stuffs are highly in demand :)<br /><br />However, waiting for customers is boring ... so the girls start playing with soap bubbles.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3078/2790839175_83cf7f6777.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3078/2790839175_83cf7f6777.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3023/2790840009_561b519b94.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3023/2790840009_561b519b94.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />I get bored as well and start to shoot random things ...<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3103/2790838087_3286b1f09e.jpg?v=0"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3103/2790838087_3286b1f09e.jpg?v=0" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">Bees</span><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3239/2790838669_f754342b12.jpg?v=0"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3239/2790838669_f754342b12.jpg?v=0" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">House Template</span><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3158/2791688008_3480df6c4c.jpg?v=0"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3158/2791688008_3480df6c4c.jpg?v=0" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">Sewer</span><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3060/2790837837_a9f1578539.jpg?v=0"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3060/2790837837_a9f1578539.jpg?v=0" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">Entrance</span><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3270/2791688430_6ea2377fde.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3270/2791688430_6ea2377fde.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">Leaf</span><br /></div><br />It is a very hot day, and we start packing after sitting there for ~ 2 hours :)closarihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05394249343681819087noreply@blogger.com0
