It's raining ....
A perfect weather to tuck yourself in the blanket with your favourite book and a cup of coffee on the bedside table.
Well ... I could say my wish is almost fulfilled ... because I'm reading my favorite book and a coffee is ready beside me.
ExceptI'm reading an e-book with my computer – not a hard copy.
And I'm not lying on my bed, but sitting at my desk.
Yes, I'm at work.
How I wish I were at home. ... but no where else ... just underneath a heap of blankets with the Air con on.
Does it sound crazy?
I was going to talk about the convenience of today's technology.
Steven and Ken are going up to China next week and Steven needs China visa, which obviously I have to apply for him.
Last week, he asked me to remind him to bring his passport this week and I did remind him but I forgot to remind him to bring two passport-sized photos for visa application.
He didn't have any extra passport-sized photos in hand. (who would have?)
But everything goes smoothly without Steven having to leave office an inch.
How could I get his photo? Well, it's easy .. I asked him to take with his webcam! (smart huh?
)
Macbook's webcam is nice – a lot nicer to any other laptops I've seen/used.
And the quality , I think, is not bad either.
Within a few seconds I got Steven's photo which he sent via bluetooth on to my machine, without me having to go to his desk.
But I need another thing: The background needs to be pure white ?
So, I sent the file over to kyal (who's very good at photoshop) and asked her if she could help with it.
She got it done within a couple of minutes and sent it back to me – all via e-mail!!!!
The photo came out quite well: not worse than the self-help photo kiosks! photo ID machines.
Thanks to her!
I was all ready to go. But I need to print the photos out. At least two.
I just went over to one shop which has self-help photo printers, inserted the USB drive, chose the photo, chose the size, adjusted a little and within 8 minutes I got 8 copies of his photos!!!
Technology and
friends do play an important role.
Agree much?
