A Picture A Day – 09/30/09

It’s been busy as usual lately. Haven’t been able to do much shooting. Hopefully, everything will start getting back to normal for me in the next few days or so.

Picture for today:

In the market... Taken with 1Ds2 and 50mm f/1.4.

Union Rally at UCI

The teacher and worker union staged a rally on 9/24/09 (first day of instruction) at the flag poles  (UC Irvine). Shows you how involved with school I am… didn’t even know about the rally until 20 mins before it was scheduled to start (from 12pm to 1pm). And that was only because one of the classes that I wanted to add was pushed to 1pm because the professor was going to be part of the rally. For full information about the rally, go to UCI’s website.

Julian Yarkony, a 3rd year PhD student, gives an interview about why he is opposed to the rally.

All were taken with the 40D and 35mm f/2. The day I decide not to bring my 1Ds2 and 35mm f/2 combo is the day I wanted/needed wide… at least I had the 40D. The best camera is the one you have with you.

New Measures

Finally implemented some new anti-spam measures. Let’s how well that works. Unfortunately, there is a possibility that some legit comments will be blocked by these new measures. Don’t be alarmed… I’ll be keeping an eye on it to make sure that the legit comments aren’t blocked.

UPDATE: Looks like the new measures don’t work… at least I still have moderation enabled. Probably the easiest way for me to deal with this is to have registration and login required to post comments. But that’ll be a hassle for people. Or I could enable IP blocking for IPs that have spammed me. We’ll see…

UPDATE2: Implemented a different measure now and it seems to be working. So… HAH! (for now…)

Spam Galore!

So signed in this afternoon and was alerted to 94 new comments awaiting moderation approval… Out of all those comments only 1 of them was legit. The rest was Russian spam. Pretty fucking crazy. Check it:

I might have to start adding more counter measures against spam…
