On Sunday while in Paarl I took a 5×1 set of pictures which I put together as a panoramic. I ended up with a 20 Megapixel image. Keeps my new Core2Duo CPU busy for a while to create these things.
Today I hiked up Lions Head in search of more “big sky” photos. Nice walk. I watched the sunset from the top. I love Cape Town in the summertime.
I took a few sets of pictures.. I’m interested to see how my 5×3 set goes. That should produce about a 100 Megapixel image. Maybe I need a tripod.
The Blockhouse above Newlands forest should be next.
On the way down you hit a single file path and I was stuck between 3 groups of woman for a while. Interesting conversations going on.. apparently Goa and other parts of India are very “commercial” now. There was one about how men create problems in relationships to hide their real issues. Snap out of it *snap* *snap* … I’m not used to this soap opera stuff. Oh well, at least their drama is authentic.
TV and beer. The best reasons to stay at home and pacify the mind and body. Who needs to go for walks around this beautiful city anyway? The avg. American only takes 5000 steps a day.
I watched Super Size Me over the weekend. Good movie, but the dude is a bit of a ninny if he can’t finish eating a super sized McD’s meal?. Not that I would try.. I’m very happy I stopped eating McD’s about 3 years ago, then again, there was that one pub crawl evening in London last year.
This has drifted far enough.
Bugger. I need more memory. These big puppies need lots of juice.
Working hard Joe, or hardly working?
Can I maybe interest you in the right computer to create the ultimate panoramic view : Blue Gene/L

I think it would do the job just fine.
That McD burgers seem to be different sizes in countries depending on the average size of the people that eat them. Our chips and cooldrink are way more than what you’d find in the east, the ave Malaysian, etc being smaller than we are and eating smaller portions. You almost have to buy 2 portions to fill up. some trivia for you.
do they give you McChopsticks? (-:
