Well, I’m back, finally. After two months’ break in Taiwan, I must say the experience is now refreshing and great. For one, I learned to change the strings on my guitar by myself. So, there.
Haha, just randomly posting now. More to come!
This is my first guitar I bought and played. But I’m flying back to Taiwan, home for Christmas, and I’m going to have to leave it at the local guitar store for 4-5 weeks. I will miss you!
*says the passionate man, as he plans on getting a cheap acoustic at home* :]
I’ve added a publication link at the top of the navigation bar. The old Weblog link is merged into the dragon icon - you can actually click on it now.
I felt I needed a place to archive important articles. So that’s where it’ll go.
A few hours ago I decided to take my vocal skills a step ahead - going to buy an unidirectional microphone. I’m looking at around $40-$80 AUD in price range, a good entry-level professional recording device. I have a basement at home where it’s sound-proof - perfect for recording without extra noises, and hopefully by hearing myself singing I can figure out where my weaknesses are.
But the next thought kicked in. What about a podcast? I always wanted to do one, but never figured out why. I already have the awesome free software CamStudio for recording my computer screens; adding a microphone with a USB input, I would have all I need for a podcast in terms of equipment.
Recently I successfully transferred to Software Engineering over at Griffith University. It’s going to be a 4-year full-time course, on campus, and I’m quite excited. As one who has a strong background in fine art and visual design, I’ve been always intrigued by the amazing computer technology - especially in the Computer Graphics industry - and I really would love to program for a game one day. Game Engine Architect is a title I’m working for right now, a stretched-out long-term goal I want to reach as soon as possible.
So I took a friend’s suggestion over at Gaming Artist forum and bought Unreal Tournament III. Totally beat that game in three days, and started doing tutorials I found online about modding. Like a Mutator, or an imported model.

And here goes my first celebration of my new website. This time I rewrote everything for the CSS, and implemented Wordpress as my main CMS. It’s about at the stage where it’s fully functional and I hope you enjoy the rest.
I’ve added a few things since the last post:
- My portfolio
- Commission details
- Photography gallery
Poke around and leave me a comment! Also, stay tuned by subscribing to the RSS (link is to the right of About on the top) is also a good way to keep an eye on me.
Last, but not least, get Firefox! Also get Flash Player while you’re at it. Internet Explorer by default blocks all the Flash content, and doesn’t do z-index correctly. It’s ugly.
Have a great day!
Finally got the latest weblog to look the way I feel like to. Welcome to my personal website.
Right now, I’m just beginning to teach myself some ActionScript 3.0. It’s crazy to think that the last time I launched Flash was 6 years ago - about the same time I started in VB 6.0; about the same time I started in the CG family.
Well, there’s not much to see now. But I’ll be uploading my current portfolio soon. There will also be a page with detail about how to contact me for private commission or freelance jobs.
For now, please check out the About page. I wrote an autobiography and I hope you enjoy reading it.
Bookmark this blog and see you soon!
