Clearing my Google Reader

January 25, 2012

by Jiasen Low in life

I have been heavily relying on Google Reader. But after so many years of using it, I have subscribed more than 1,000 sites. After removing those already more than 1 years not updated sites, have left around 800+ sites.

Recently, I finally narrow down to over 700+ sites. So who said RSS is dying?! I bet it is the same person saying email is dying too!

在Bali游玩的时候，一半的时间也还是在工作。在NusaDua由于又没有什么可以逛的地方，所以懒得出门的情况下两晚都直接订了酒店的食物。

我还是点了Nasi Campur。呵呵。

Lightroom 4 Beta Download and a lot introduction video

January 12, 2012

by Jiasen Low in Photography

I have been using Lightroom 2+ to manage my photo RAW files. Finally this application has stepped to the version 4 this year. So far, Adobe has been listening to the photographers community. Lightroom 4 beta is going to be free till end of March.

It is also a good time for first timer to try out Lightroom. The requirement for Lightroom is Mac OS X 10.6.8 and above, or Window Vista and above.

My recommendation is using dual screen to get the maximum effect. At least I feel more comfortable editing on my dual screen desktop PC than on my Macbook Pro.

New Features in Lightroom 4 Beta

Highlight and shadow recovery brings out all the detail that your camera captures in dark shadows and bright highlights.
Photo book creation with easy-to-use elegant templates.
Location-based organization lets you find and group images by location, assign locations to images, and display data from GPS-enabled cameras.
White balance brush to refine and adjust white balance in specific areas of your images.
Additional local editing controls let you adjust noise reduction and remove moiré in targeted areas of your images.
Extended video support for organizing, viewing, and making adjustments and edits to video clips.
Easy video publishing lets you edit and share video clips on Facebook and Flickr®.
Soft proofing to preview how an image will look when printed with color-managed printers.
Email directly from Lightroom using the email account of your choice.

Nusa Dua 逛逛

Nusa Dua真的没有什么东西可以逛。唯一的shopping地方就集中在Bali Collection而已。

在同期，奥巴马来到巴厘岛。可是就是我没看到本人，拍拍铜像就好吧。

SwissBel 酒店 @Nusa Dua Bali

December 28, 2011

之前一直待在Kuta，看到SwissBel酒店在Agoda有特价，皮痒情况下就去订了。Nusa Dua位于巴厘岛南部，集中了许多豪华酒店。这里比起Kuta真的清静许多，夜晚也没有什么活动，如果只想来巴厘岛休闲度假、修身养性、打打高尔夫球，这里算不错的地点。但就是这里的酒店一般都比Kuta的还要贵许多。
