Courses of this period

Interaction and Electronics
Multi sensory Design
Product Service System

First, I want to talk something about the biggest one - I&E, this is the only one bachelor course I took this period, and it's a little bit complex then cross media last period, because I also have lecture on Monday and meeting on Wednesday, however, the extra content is the flash project on Wednesday and Electronic practice on Friday, these are much difficult in my opinion, especially the electronic practice, I have no idea about the circuit or wireless signal methods, and the reader is so expensive and boring hard, it took place in EWI building also makes me worried. Hope everything will be fine in the end.
Multi sensory Design is much more fun, now I have different though about product design because other sensors involved, we ask to have a presentation without slides, because it's multi sensory so we need to present in multi sensory...for the first course is about the sound design, and it's amazing that to have so much information in products' sound, like every morning we wake up with the sound of alarm, and then the sound of brushing teeth, later the sound of coffee maker or the "ding" sound from micro oven, these sounds teaming in our daily life, and they all could be designed, and the most emphasized part in sound design is the engine's sound or exhaust system's sound from automotive vehicles, such as David Hudson or Ferrari, and even the close sound of a door does matter, this is interesting to find and design the sense of hearing world, I can't imaging the later workshops about taste and smell~of course others like visual and feeling are also attractive, but I feel that the taste and smell part will be more difficult, it make me remember about the project I did in the usability course before, we did the smell system, and that is just so conceptual. Just like the tutor said these senses are rather less mentioned compare with visual, so be aware for the coming weeks !
both courses have very high tension in weeks, because they all finished in one period, so I have to keep myself in right stage, or the result will sucks.
I'm so sick last week, and still feel not right even now, but think about the happy vacation from May really makes me excited, I think I should start prepare it from now but I'm not in the mood now, I still have to apply for new railway card and the museum card, and the good news is that I can go to British without visa now, that add a lot possibilities of traveling in Europe, ha ha~ I'm coming, cheap tickets !
but sometimes the period after the vacation is much more disturbed, I hope the Midiator can accept my internship application, so that I can do that in July, or I'll have blank life in July, and I think there will be very less people in Marcushof that time...meanwhile all other people going out for vacation...Maybe I have to concern my portfolio more now, for the internship and the job I want to take for the coming year.
I really wonder what's the life is going after I back to Taiwan, I have no idea about it till now, I think I will be a totally different person from the person I am now. XD
the environments are too different to act the same in these places. But as I know most people who just gone are miss the life here very much, also the people, I believe I will miss these crazy parties from all these crazy people, too, the life is so peaceful in Taiwan, everyday is just pure, I only have to do the courses, playing video game, reading some books, and go for exercise everyday, everybody are good student, we worried about the same problem, we have same customs, we eat the food we familiar with, all these days going smoothly, it's so smooth that I even forget if there's anything hard for me, or any challenge for living, I just get used to it and addict to the peaceful and happy life, but it's gone now, there's no easy life from now on, less courses(only the graduate project) comes with more works, it's always a pressure for me to find a job, and I have no chance to escape from it now, compare with others I am now young anymore, I cost so much resources of my parents and my country, it's pity that if I offered nothing after these investments.
and every time think about this makes me feel fervent desired to push my abilities to another level, although most of time I just do very little.
it's hard to decide my life direction, there's too much options of this question, and I just like someone who didn't prepared that got fully confused of these options, my decision is always changing, and none of them fit the action I made, maybe my subconsciousness have a different idea but I don't know? who knows? XD

小裁縫之路序章:量身

敝人因吃飽太閒,報名了裁縫補習班,秉持著網路分享精神,在此將所學與大家分享順便當復習,學費我來付~裁縫大家學,哈。 -- 課程內容主要是講上衣的板型設計,因此技法方面還是要靠自己,悲劇的是頭兩堂課因為要出差所以都缺課,錯過許多重要的觀念。一開始畫圖比較多,然後預計會制作一件上衣一件洋裝。 服裝制作首先最重要的就是量身了,精確地取得各部位的尺寸是很重要的,因為很多衣服需要量身才好看,這點是成衣無法與高級服裝相提並論的重點 一般常量到的記號有以下: 後頸點(B.N.P):第七節椎骨上端,低頭時的凸點。 側頸點(S.N.P):僧帽肌中點與領圍線的交叉點。 肩點(S.P):肩峰與肩胛骨的交叉點。 前頸點(F.N.P):前鎖骨連線中點。 背長(BL):側頸點沿肩胛骨至小腰線。 前全長(FL):側頸點沿B.P點至小腰線。 後肩寬:後身量肩點至肩點。 肩寬(SW):前身量肩點至肩點。 小肩:側頸點至肩點。 背寬(BW):左右腋點經肩胛骨長。 胸圍(B):兩BP點與地面水平量一圈,注意有吐氣與吸氣兩種 腰圍(WL):腰部最細軟處合身量,無褲頭減一公分(製圖時) 臀圍(HL):臀部最突出處與地面水平量一圈,從腹圍(腰下十公分)往下量最大處 領圍(NL):後、側、前頸點放一手指量一圈。 胸寬:左右前腋點間直量。 BP長:測頸點至BP點。BP寬:BP間距。 肘長:肩點至肘骨。 袖長:肩點、肘長、腕股,非直線須分開量。 乳摺份(D):依FL-BL差調整。 脇腰長:側身量WL至HL 膝長:側身量WL至膝骨距離,此值決定窄裙的活動量。 裙長、褲長、前脇:依照流行款式決定,皆以WL為基準開始量。 量身的其他小技巧:一般會先在腰線上綁一條細鬆緊帶,作為WL線基準,量一圈的要注意是否與地面平行,這樣量到的才會是正確的。量背寬與胸寬將衣服夾在一下看摺線位置就是量取點,良好需要的身體尺寸後,就可以依照尺寸來製版。 製圖上有以下常見符號,但照習慣可以更改 總歸來說,要做衣服一般是以下步驟 畫設計圖,選擇布料 量身體尺寸 分析車縫步驟、縫製方式 準備製版(尺寸、配件),左右不對稱要同時製版 上衣、洋裝:後片 → 前片 →領子 →袖子 →配件。 褲子與裙子:前片 →後片 →配件 剪裁(注意馬克圖、布紋方向) 縫製(後面...

Firefox 字體平滑 設定

算是筆記一下 Firefox 6之後有個重要(對我來說)的功能就是設定Cleartype的選項,還蠻強大的,算是半套GDI++的功能包含其中。啟動方式很簡單,就是到about:config然後在filter中打入gfx,就會出現像是色彩管理及畫面輸出等相關設定 個人設置如下 gfx.font_rendering.cleartype.alway_use_for_content=ture /*對所有內容打開*/ gfx.font_rendering.cleartype.use_for_downloadable_fonts /*預設開啟*/ gfx.font_rendering.cleartype.params.cleartype_level gfx.font_rendering.cleartype.params.enhanced_contrast /*這兩者依個人喜好設定,數值0-100,個人沒將cleartype_level開滿因為會覺得有點糊*/ gfx.font_rendering.cleartype.params.force_gdi_classic_for_families /*類似GDI++可以依字型設定輸出平滑方式,但是只有分系統預設方式及Fx自己的方式,若覺得系統方式渲染更好的字型就加進來*/ gfx.font_rendering.cleartype.params.force_gdi_classic_max_size /*用系統cleartype輸出字型最大尺寸,大於本尺寸的字型不用cleartype輸出*/ gfx.font_rendering.cleartype.params.gamma /*gamma值,一般2.2=2200,1.8的就設定1800*/ gfx.font_rendering.cleartype.params.pixel_structure /*液晶螢幕的陣列,一般都是RGB所以設定1,0 = flat, 1 = RGB, 2 = BGR */ gfx.font_rendering.cleartype.params.rendering_mode /*重點項目,0 = default 自動選擇, 1 = aliased 不平滑輸出, 2 = GDI Classic 普通的,用整個像素控制, 3 ...
