My new lens

V.J.Catkick — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 15:47:11 +0000

Last night, I’ve got new lens ‘Nikkor 85mm’ from my friend and put it on my D90. Well specification of this lens is not important for my readers maybe, and what I want to say is my D90 become something like professional tool. It is bet heavy but good lookin’ black body is really nice for me.

The pictures with this lens is worm, soften shaped with good bokeh. I did not have chance taking pictures at outside today, but probably this middle range lens is fit for field shooting, too. Oh by the way, this comes with metal food, not plastic one. That ‘smell’ like pro, too.

Two plugin had been released

V.J.Catkick — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 12:19:41 +0000

Tonight, I;ve just released two WordPress plugins which are ‘Dual Column’ and ‘Manuscript’. Dual Column adds special tag to separate your text at entry two columns like newspaper. Small clickable arrow icon at bottom of left column jumps top of entry so if you write long paragraph, the readers do not need actually ‘scroll’ to continue. Another plugin, ‘Manuscript’ adds also special tag to format entry text to Japanese manuscript paper for especially students. It designed only for Japanese characters, but maybe it is useful for Chinese and Korean people. It supports vertical writing without changing your text at database so very handy and good for your web life. Try them!

Both plugins are at repository.

Cold, icy, wet nose kiss

V.J.Catkick — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 13:50:20 +0000

I took many cats yawning picture but now it is time to take picture of kiss by their nose. It is a symbol of trustiness each other in cats world and that’s really cute. If your cat (or cats) kissed by their cold icy wet nose to your cheek when you slept, it is the proof that they trust you. But when they did so, you will jump up from your bed and maybe scream!

Blue sky and steel tower

V.J.Catkick — Sun, 01 Feb 2009 11:06:57 +0000

Picturing blue is really really difficult for camera beginner. This Sunday was fine day so I went to out park and take picture of sky. Last time I took picture, I did use jpg file format with my camera and it was not good enough image, so this time, I used RAW format because RAW formatted file contains much information than jpg file format.

Many people at park maybe thought me strange person because I just took pictures of steel tower again and again.

This one is good but if I changed size for web site, the scale of image was lost. It should be big print is better to find out what I want to say, but I am not good enough picturing level.

It is very difficult taking picture of blue sky.

crimp

Kurumi came on my working desk when I was doing some modification for widgets. She wanted to move my mouse because it is crimp for her to lay down, and also she pushed my MacBook to make little more space.

After all, she follows my mouse pointer on the LCD and pokes screen by her cute hand. Ah she is doing the same thing everyday… I put some snack in her bowl to ‘remove’ her from my desk, yes everyday.

If you do not read Japanese, use Google Translator at my blog’s sidebar to find out what I wrote there, but remember, it is ‘machine’ translation, therefore maybe most of its paragraphs do not make sense… oh my.

WordPress widget users: the documentations of widget which I created are located on my sidebar, too.
