From Sketches to Thumbnails.

Sunday, November 11th, 2007

So, I posted 3 days ago about my getting a new iMac. Well, since I got a new iMac, I had the urge to redesign my website and as you can see, I already have. Anyway, it’s a simple redesign of the previous layout. I’ve reorganized the galleries–which is now called the portfolio. I hadn’t coded anything in ages so I forgot how tedious it is to code an entire website from scratch. Now I remember, ugh, I spent about 3 days coding. I’m glad it’s finally over. Aside from that, I also finally got around to upgrading Wordpress to the latest version. YayOh and I almost forgot to mention, I’ve changed the blog’s name from Sketches to Thumbnails.

New iMac!

Thursday, November 8th, 2007

Huzzah! Got myself a brand new iMac, complete with the new OS X 10.5 Leopard. This is so much better compared to the Macbook, not only is the screen bigger, the colour and contrast is so much clearer, hha, my brother and I ended up watching Advent Children on it, just for the heck of it. That and I now have a mouse! A Mighty Mouse to be exact.

So yeah, pretty exciting day. I wanted to order it online, but the online store can’t process credit cards from other countries…in the end, went to town and bought it at retail. Not only that, I saved about $200 just from getting it at retail. Furthermore, when I go back to Canada, I can claim GST and get another $100 back. Now here’s some pictures of me opening it, there wasn’t really much to put together, just plugged the mouse into the keyboard, the keyboard into the iMac, the iMac into the power outlet. Quite simple.
