Fastest Hunk o' Junk in the Galaxy
The Old Biscuit Mill hosts the nicest Hippie Market I have yet visited and also some interesting shops, the most fun of which is ”Clockwork Orange, Mid Century Modern”.
Clockwork Orange is full of awesome awesome things from the 70’s and 80’s that I want but would never spend my money on. The best one was this fantastic vintage Millennium Falcon.
Regular people can stop reading at this point (actually, to be fair, regular people probably don’t care about scale models of fictional space craft either, so I expect they have already stopped reading).
After months of idle threats, I have finally made the switch to Ubuntu. I am a long time GIMP evangelist, so post processing is no issue, but I have been struggling to find something I like for RAW conversions and photo management. This one was converted with Rawstudio, which is by far the best I have tried. Still outrageously slow though (come to think of it, so is GIMP on linux, whats with that?). If anyone has any smart suggestions, I would love to hear ’em.
