Monochrome Terminal

"Monochrome" and "Terminal" paints a different picture that comes to mind to IT folks. It reminds us of green/gray text on black computer screens from days of old. It's also rather similar to Photography. Before pictures came in color, a lot were in monochrome (black and white commonly, but it also came in sepia, among others). The difference is, though, monochrome persisted.

Monochrome has always been a fascination of mine. In this age of overwhelming bleeding edge technology where newer technologies lead to more vibrant colors, I tend to step back every now and then to regress to basic black and white, and all of the two hundred fifty-four shades in between that my camera can muster. Though I imagine it'll be much fewer shades than that due to the mixing I do for contrast.

I had the chance to play with it when we traveled to Hong Kong. I had the time and luxury to experiment so I rendered some images in monochrome. More of the tones and textures here...

The Colors Of Hong Kong International Airport

Hong Kong International Airport is a marvel of engineering. It is among the most amazing man-made structures I've seen both in scale and in elegance. The whole airport is practically a small city in scale and I pretty much tired myself out exploring just the passenger accessible areas in Terminal 1 departure. 

More sights of this monumental marvel in here...

Going Home - Taxi Ride To the Airport

Time surely is fleeting when you're having fun. While not everyone may agree considering that we didn't exactly go to the usual tourist attractions, I still think it was awesome that we got to see a piece of Hong Kong. Just like that it was time to go home. We checked out at the hotel and grabbed a ride to the airport.

Short but sweet, here are some sights we saw along the way...

Strolling To Harbour City - Through The Subway

Second day in Hong Kong. Yesterday we had a long hot day, and today was no different. What is different though, is we know better now. Today we had the whole day to ourselves.

We're off to a long stroll today. Lots of sights to see, coffee to drink, food to eat, pictures to take... Did I mention food?

Back To Regular Feeds: IFTTT- If This, Then That

The past few nights have been undesirable. Feedburner wasn't properly working. We should be back to our regular feeds now though. A quick account below on what fixed this little mess.



Confused Wondering Learner: IFTTT- If This, Then That:   Recently I had to tear down my feeds. For some reason Feedburner went haywire, and it's not the first time. I eventually had to give...

Flame Out On Feedburner

Feedburner loses its flame.

After some repeated issues and spontaneous breaks in functionality for the blog, I've decided to let go of Feedburner and switch to something else. A few Google searches showed that +SpecificFeeds.com appears to be a favorite among free solutions so I decided to try it out. Folks following me through Feedburner may want to update your RSS links to the direct URL:

This switch does not impact you if you're following via Facebook. You may notice some change in the verbiage though.

Adieu, Feedburner. I will not miss your spontaneous breakdowns and the hours I spent troubleshooting your antics.

UPDATE: I didn't like SpecificFeeds either. I found out however, that IFTTT works like a charm.
