Went to mac for the lunch. I have the habit to eat outside with a chilled drink so mac is cheaper for me. ($4) To my horror, the lady told me NO CURRY SAUCE! I went back and check to find out some rumor about it stop being served. How do mac expect people to eat their fries without curry sauce? Lucky it has been clarified as a temp shortage.

McDonald’s stops serving curry sauce, causes panic, grief on Twitter | New Nation

Now back to the issue on the film. I am hoping it is a developing issue since I am quite rush to get the batch developed. (I don't remember any mistake, but I will adjust developer to be slightly more colder so more silver stays on) I will do another test set on this Wednesday afternoon (Hopefully no rain) and develop it at night. Sadly cannot meet you guys since I have a dinner appointment with friends on Wednesday. Will try to call you all and check if you all are still hanging around after my dinner. If so can come down for a while and see see ba.

I was trying to get curry sauce for my last mac meal and they also didn't have curry sauce, this was at Funan though. OT here hahaha

Brother, you are still young, avoid eating Macs too much. The salt and fats content is too high.
Also, Singapore hawker food is extremely unhealthy. Salt content is super high, one meal exceeds the daily required intake.
(Singapore has the highest kidney disease occurrence in the whole World).

Like to see you live strong and forever young

i just got a old light meter... unfortunately the battery compartment cover is stuck.(those that you have to twist a coin in the slot to open it) i tried WD40 yesterday but it is still stuck.

Anyone can service that?

 

[Nikkornos]

Is it the Sekonic or Gossen? You can try holding the coin with a Plier and turn it slowly.

is a analog spotmeter. the screw slot is wearing off after my numerous attempt to.open it.

Holding the coin with a Plier and turn it slowly should work. Dont screw too tight next time.

If the thread is gone, then considering looking for spare parts on Ebay.....

Is it this one??

not exactly the same..but the compartment slot i the same. i believe there is some battery corrosion jamming it up. it still works well but the battery is getting low.

Some oil on it over the night might help better as it went deeper inside.

Oh man! Looks like a massive project! Jia you! If you're setting it up, I'm ordering slides!!

I'm planning to order a few more boxes of velvia. Want some?

I prefer to create an App, and connect via Bluetooth

Screw Bluetooth, how about wifi, so that I can get an email notification when the processing is done? Coupling an Arduino board or an embedded Linux with apache to it will be really fun!

Hahha! On the contrary - you know the mentality of software engineers - after a while, it might be the linux part that is fun, who cares about the films rolling in the drum ....

It is always the same till you hit the bug and started opening your eyes on the deadline to understand the calm has past and storm is coming.
