My tools for creation
This is me. This is my mind. All of my thoughts quantified into small quanta of energy. They are called bits. I need tools in order to organise and transmit them. My small netbook and my adsl connection are just some of them. Some other things i need in order to create, is my imagination, curiosity and offcourse a lot of creativity. Some elements make all this process more easy: A comfy chair, a big screen, a nice room and of course good music to keep my mind synced with what i’m doing.
The blog you are reading is my personal effort to form a tech journal, with all the elements and ways of transforming data i am able and capable of. My ambition is start doing new stuff and being involved with new fields of multimedia creations like animation, 3D graphics and sound. So consequently this blog. This instant when forming this article i am writing it on a eeePC 900. Its a unreasonable small and slow laptop in order to work with. The only things i can do with it is to surf the web, listen to music, film/documentaries and do some basic graphic editing all that in its 8,9 inch screen. I am waiting to acquire a 13inch macbook along with a 26inch screen in order to do start having real tools for creating. My present desktop is as pictured bellow with one the basic tools in Linux, the console:
This is the space i can work with till now. A handful of 1024 x 600 pixels. I can learn to do with that just for now, because i know i will soon enough acquire a new macbook. I hope then to get involved in more creative fields, though all this will acquire time, effort and the right guidance from someone who already knows abut all that.
The interest fields i am currently involved with:
- Ubuntu Linux desktop user with some involvement with features like the LAMP architecture (Linux – Apache – MySQL – PHP)
- Web Design using open source tools (WordPress, Joomla, SMF)
- Basic Programming Skills (C, C++)
- Web Programming Skills (html, css, php, mysql, javascript)
- Photo Manipulation (Picassa, Photoshop etc)
- Basic Photography Skills
- Basic Sound Editing (Audacious)
- Basic Video Editing (Adobe Premiere)
The interest field i hope to become involved with this winter/autumn:
- Form and complete my digital portfolio webpage: http://www.dodecahedro.org
- Learning to use the MacOS, through buying a mac ofcourse
- Making additions to my deviantart.com profile thus making some photo manipulations
- Experiment with 3D design (Blender, Maya etc)
- Aquire Basic Sound producing skills
So all this ofcourse cannot stand as a strict list of thing i have to do, rather than a guideline of making something creative from my free time. I will keep this tech blog, i had in mind making for so long, updated with all the things i am occupated and involved with in order to contribute to this global noosphere, the Internet.
