Flickr Fun With Dumpr.net

Greetings everyone,

Apologies once again for the lack of recent updates. Well, this morning I was sent an invitation to join a flickr group whereby during my random surf, I stumbled upon a site called dumpr.net. What it does is that it allows you to mess around with the pictures you have in flickr.

There is roughly about 6-8 tools that ranges from effects of aging your picture, changing it to sketch and placing it in a gallery like below. Don’t you come and tell me that this can all be done in Photoshop or some fancy picture editing tool. The reason that I am mentioning it is because it is online based and it automatically extracts your flickr collection.

Fun With Flickr
Everyone is looking

By the way, if you do not know what flickr is, it is basically a place where you can upload and share your photos.

 Give it a visit and a go…. I would try the other features later….

 Have fun!

Kuala Selangor

Since Thaipusam is a public holiday, I joined some buddies at work on an excavation at Kuala Selangor which included a meal at New Beggars Delicious Restaurant at Ijok, Bukit Malawati and Kampung Kuantan for the fireflies.

The day started out with a drive to Kuala Selangor on the winding roads which I find quite relaxing as it takes me out of the city.

I won’t blog much about the food at the restaurant in Ijok as you may read about it at his blog. Stay tune for pictures as I am awaiting for them.

As for Bukit Malawati, it is about half an hours drive from Ijok where we took a ride up the hill for RM2 which lead us to quite a stunning view. Here are some of the pics that I manage to take on top of the hill.
