Making a zooming out mosaic video

I have collected many photographs while I have been in Japan and I thought that I'll make a befitting compliment to the CCIL lab which was kind enough to allow to work with them.

Hence, I put together my photographs, used Ideamonk's PyMos to make a huge mosaic of the interior of CCIL photograph to show the interior of the CCIL lab. (the original photograph is from here, not taken by me).

Unexpected Return of Investment from HDD

I recently upgraded to a 500 Gb HDD from my puny 80 Gb one, done primarily because I wanted to download the HumbleBundle without having to uninstall Eclipse and Firefox from my system. And I am quite happy with the results.

However, doing the upgrade also had some other interesting returns of interest:

  1. I am definitely happy about finally having all my music collection on my laptop instead of having to revert to the Backup Hard drive every time I had a craving for that one special song.
  2. I can finally run the 1080p HD movies on my laptop! So the bottleneck was the Hard-drive and not the CPU. (Anyway I could have figured it out sooner?)
  3. I copied my large Photograph collection to my laptop and I set my screen saver to "Picture Folder". Now every time my laptop goes to the screensaver, it is like taking a walk down the memory lane.
Serendipity.
