X-rite i1 Display Pro

X-rite i1 Display Pro

I recently bought a new monitor for my . I have a setup with two 24″ screens on a extended desktop. Setting up the new screen and replacing an old 17″ Dell monitor. I very quickly found out, just how bad my screens where in the color calibration. Left monitor had a huge tint of blue, and the older screen next to it, I could now see, just how big a green tint that one had.

Working with pictures and being super colorblind, I really am not making it easy for myself. So I decided it might be time to get myself a monitor calibrator. I went out and I got the X-rite i1 Display Pro for around 1700 DKK

As backgrounds on my screens at the moment I’m using a picture in Black/White of that I have taken. Blue tint on one, Green tint on the other. I installed the and plugged in the calibrator. Hung it on my screen and started the process. Takes about tw0 minutes pr. screen. And Wolla! Now have to identical (well almost, small variations but still) backgrounds in Black and white and not in any wrong color tint.

This calibrator has easy to use software, and I can recommend it for use with non professional screens like standard color monitors on your home computer. The software guides you to the setup and procedure all the way through, so there is no worries. X-rite i1 Display pro also can be used to calibrate projectors and screen based on the ambient light in the room. So far don’t really have that much bad to say about the little thing.

Why ohh why did i not get a monitor calibration before?

The Black/white picture of The Charlotte should contain no color what so ever.

Those got damn ovens

Those got damn ovens

Some months ago, my stove went out of business. So I had to go get a new one. My kitchen is not all that big, so I had to make really sure that the with of oven that I would get, was 100% accurate. The time came for my oven to be delivered and ohh what happy day. I could now cook again.
To my big misbelieve I had to come to terms with, that my new oven was to damn wide! What had happened? The ruler that I used to measure the old stove with, was faulty! Apparently it started the cm. count some cm’s in, and not right at the start as it should have…. DOH!! So instead of returning it, I chopped of pieces of my kitchen to make the damn thing fit….. Breaking the oven door…. (Another story)

Well at my place this week I was put in charge of getting a new stove for the kitchen. Learning from my mistakes, I found a good measuring tape that should be accurate so I was sure what I was doing. The new oven arrived, and we unpacked it…… TEN CM to FREAKING WIDE. How the hell did that happened? I still have no clue why I ordered a 60cm wide stove, when the measurement cleared stated 50cm….. Ggrrrrrrrrrrr

Well we packed it up nicely and had it picked up by the company who sold it, and at the same time the brought a new one, which fitted perfectly. A little 500 Kr pickup fee mistake…… Might need to buy for the people at work for this error!

Fucking hate ovens……

SMACK ARGGGGH got damn it that hurt

SMACK ARGGGGH got damn it that hurt

Walking around my room, minding my own business, and suddenly SMACK! I whack my foot into the wheel of a trolley i have laying on the floor. Jumping up and down like a mad man, using my entire vocabulary of foul word in 5 different languages, and collapsing on my back! I hit the middle toe on my right straight into the wheel.

After the started to leave me, and i got up and sitting again i took a look at the toe, but nothing really showed. No biggie, we all tried this i guess.

The morning after waking up and jumping out of the bed to take a shower i quickly had a flash bang of pain in my toe. Ohhhh nooo… I remember this pain. Back in 2007/2008 i broke my bog toe doing . I I remember the pain, but also that there is really nothing to do with a busted up toe. So i soldier up, grab a shower. Fight my socks on, a pair of (took a couple of tries) and stumbled to my car to go to .

Dragging my leg behind me like a beat up pirate, pretty sure that my middle toe is broken, i endure the pain (and think it might have been not to go to the ER getting a pair of crutches.) But survived the day. Yiipieee. At home i really longed for getting my shoes and socks of. And there it was looking at me. A big blue toe… It did not look like this in the morning? Weird for it to get that color so many hours after!

Well now it’s Saturday, and I can almost walk like a normal zombie again, so I guess that it’s luckily not broken after all.

Anyone wanna go out dancing?

Now what’s this here?

Now what’s this here?

I bought my first SLR camera from my photo teacher back in 2001. It was a Good old and I loved it like crazy. I still do even. It’s always been there, hanging about 40 cm. from my head sitting at my . I got a “upgrade” when I got the 200V a fully automatic monster back in 2002…. Still analogue. In 2006 I got my very first digital SLR. The D20, and upgraded again in 2009 with 5D mark II.

Well, in the moment my good old friend who I look at everyday, is assisting my character in the “Calendar Girls”. Sitting there fumbling a bit around with the camera checking the inner workings, I found this sticker where the film is supposed to be. The sticker says “Foto Østerport, Silkeborg tlf (06) 82 11 12.
This made me think briefly about the my camera had before it got to know me. Who was the first owner, who loved it first, and why did it get sold in the first place “or stolen?” And when? I meen the phone number type is not even being used in anymore, and I don’t know if the where is got sold even is there any more. Well….. Just got me thinking a bit.

Oh crappy piece of meat

Oh crappy piece of meat

The grocery store that i do my usually shopping in, has been undergoing a little makeover and been closed for about 3 weeks. March the 1′st it opened up again for the public with a series of good offers, One of these offers was a a huge filet for about 35 kr. pr. pound. I of cause I bought 4 pounds of filet. The idea was to cut it up in three pieces, so i then will have meat enough to last 3 big dinners. The roast had a “last sales date” 23 of March. So i bought it and put it straight in the refrigerator.

Last week, and I decided to cut it up, and eat two nice fat, big juice steaks. BUT, when we opened the pack we could with ease smell that something was wrong. But we discarded the thought, and said that it might be because of the packing, and we did not think that much of it. We started to make all the little side-dishes. And fried the steaks at the very end.

Okay, so the table is set, and the is cooked. We sit down. Slice the bite, stuff it in the face, and quickly and swiftly with a quick glance at each other, spit it out just as fast! the the beef tasted like i imagine rotting flesh would taste like. Yuk! Out the trash with the piece of crap. Lucky for us, the shop closes at 22.00 so i quickly ran down with the remaining meat to change it for something a bit more fresh. Still gagging on the taste of the bite before. The worker down at the shop, did not smell my bag of crap meat, but he did look at the meat he had in the fridge, and say “I think your right, the color does not look right to me either” So i had to get some other kind of meat, and I had to settle with that. I did had The Charlotte waiting and the other waiting for me.

We fried the new meat, and enjoyed out meal… but i did have that taste in my mouth the entire evening… in fact, I had that taste the entire next two days as well.. Lucky for me it’s gone now, but yuk…….

The day after in the evening, i went down in the shop again… the meat that “looked wrong” was still there in the refrigerators……. Once again, i mentioned it to the people down there….

No mommy, i don’t wanna go

No mommy, i don’t wanna go

Already at the start of the year I signed up for a Subscription at the Torment factory also called “Fitness World” If you finally decide in indulde yourself in a little bit of toture, this is a really nice place. Terror centers all over , one close to , and one close , and one close to where I dwell.

Everybody good use a bit more healthy exercise, but i really really really really really don’t want to! I think it shit ass boring. I can only do it in the times because of work and sleep, and I do not think it’s at all. I do try to to go there at least two times a week as a minimum, but it’s so hard when you are alone, so at the moment I only go there when having somebody to go with me. Torture is always most when there is two people involved!

A brand new Moon Cycle

A brand new Moon Cycle

Time to step it up.

Time has arrived for me to start to think about the stuff I’m doing. Things are only getting have way done, not at all, or i just don’t have the time/ to finish. What to do? Well either drop some, and here we are talking about total abandonment, just letting go and cut loose. Or pulling together and stepping up to the plate!

I choose 2 option!

Nothing i really do, if , blogging (for my mom), or is something i really want to let go! No on the other hand i need more. It’s my fuel.

Yesterday i looked at the moon out my window, and snapped a couple of pictures. It was a perfect circle, and I thought to myself. “Feck, if the moon can complete something month after month, then so can I”  Time to step up to the plate. More PanCakeBeaver, more Theater, more connections, more getting out and being social. Brand myself, Say no’s and a lot of say yes’s.

Attached is the picture of the moon from yesterday

Diablo 3 and Swtor

Diablo 3 and Swtor

Sooo many games, soooooo little time.

With Battlefield 3, 3 and Skyrim already out, it’s hard to find time to enjoy them as it is. Trying to Balance Work, Professional , PanCakeBeaver.com, social life and Girlfriend beside the , is hard enough as it is. Now we have two greats games on the way, one with US release the 20th of December namely; Star Wars: The Old Republic. Second one is of cause Diablo 3. Both great game (hopefully, did try Swtor Beta). These titles are both valid reasons for calling in one week at the time :-D (of cause I’M not gonna do that)

With new games there is cool opening scenes to sell it. Where both Diablo 3 and Swtor has realeased them,posted here of cause. But to get back to the time issue. I find it harder and harder to find time for everything. Work takes up minimum 8 hours everyday, and the rest takes on my spare time when not sleeping! So you can see that it’s a lot of “hobbies” for the remainder of the time on a day.

PanCakeBeaver is finishing up some Projects for Why not , Mitrevski.org and myself, more to follow there in another post. Enjoys the posted Game Trailers.
