			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Internet security is one of the most important things nowadays. Everyone uses the Internet, million dollars flowing daily, we spend money, share ideas, write blog entries, contact our friends etc&#8230;everyone can be a victim of hackers (well, crackers). Protecting our secret information and protection against spam / phishing is really important. <strong>I will show you free solutions against Internet threats.<span id="more-47"></span></strong></p>
<p><strong>Protection against viruses / Trojans / spy ware / ad ware:</strong><br />
You need to use an anti-virus software, one that is always up-to-date. I recommend Avast!, which is free for home users and can be downloaded here: <a href="http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html" target="_blank">avast!</a> This is an anti-virus software which also protects you on the Internet, it has standard virus defense, web defense (stops connection to infected websites), it protects against mail viruses etc.</p>
<p>If you are looking for software for your business, or you are willing to pay for it, you should choose nod32 or kaspersky (also you should buy the packages with built-in Internet security).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.eset.com" target="_blank">Nod32</a><br />
<a href="http://www.kaspersky.com" target="_blank">Kaspersky</a> </p>
<p>Also if you want more protection against spyware / adware you should run ad-aware, the free version doesn&#8217;t have real time protection, but it&#8217;s still pretty useful. You can download it here: <a href="http://www.lavasoft.com" target="_blank">Ad-aware</a> </p>
<p><strong>Web browsing:</strong><br />
Definitely you need to use a good browser like<br />
<a href="http://www.mozilla.com/firefox" target="_blank">Firefox</a>  or <a href="http://www.google.com/chrome" target="_blank">Chrome</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Protection against spam:</strong><br />
Use <a href="http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/thunderbird/" target="_blank">Thunderbird</a> mail software . It&#8217;s spam filters are really good, almost all spam will end in the spam folder. It can download mail from different mail accounts at the same time. Basically the software will work perfect for you, except if you need really special services. </p>
<p><strong>A note about passwords:</strong><br />
Every site writes about passwords, I also write because they are really important. Change your password monthly. Use 6-8 characters, capital letters letters and special characters too (like !#@), numbers.<br />
Example for strong password: bC36;U!</p>
<p><strong>FTP / Total Commander:</strong><br />
Old Total Commander store FTP passwords without encryption, this means they can easily steal all your FTP passwords with a spy ware program. You should use master password for your FTP connections (Network &#8211; FTP connections &#8211; Encoding &#8211; and protect all your FTP accounts with a master password). This way your accounts will be safe, you just need to use your master password if you want to connect to a server.</p>
<p><strong>A final warning: The thought of false safety is even worse than being without safety. You can&#8217;t think that no one will attack you, because you are not someone who worth hacking. But spyware programs don&#8217;t think, they steal everyone&#8217;s data, and you might end up in a bad situation, if they manage to steal your bank account password, or a few FTP passwords (that happened to me, and that gave me the inspiration to write this article).<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Where are our dreams? Scattered in time and space. We all bury our dreams deep within us, and keep on living with fake smiles on our faces. How can we live like this? You always say everything is fine, but you also feel, that this is not true.</p>
<p>Always trust your instincts, they never lie. Open up as you were a child, and reveal all those things inside you. Just check them, and make them live, this way your dreams will come true.<br />

<p><strong>Lyrics: </strong></p>
<p>Now, that I´m here<br />
breaking my relationship with time and space<br />
watching my life through the milky glasses of a<br />
window<br />
now it all becomes so clear.</p>
<p>If I had the opportunity to smell<br />
the enchanted wind of a spring flower<br />
I would take a deep breath<br />
to relax.</p>
<p>If I had the chance to get the tingling emotion<br />
of warm white sea sand<br />
slipping through my fingers<br />
I would hold on to the feeling.</p>
<p>If I could see the pure and carefree smile of a<br />
child<br />
as the original nature of honesty<br />
it would be so refreshing<br />
being able to respond.</p>
<p>If I could hear the greatest sound<br />
the silence of forest in the early morning<br />
just interrupted and up valued by the lonely<br />
call of a bird<br />
I would answer.</p>
<p>If I could have my body back<br />
to be reloaded by a sip of crystal clear water<br />
water which is not polluted by chemical industry<br />
I could taste the freshness of the unspoiled<br />
nature.</p>
<p>Now, that I´m here<br />
breaking my relationship with time and space<br />
watching my life through the clear glasses of a<br />
window<br />
I get aware of the small things which are least<br />
the greatest.</p>
<p>I left my life<br />
my physical form of life behind<br />
I realize my blunted and senseless way of life<br />
I should have lived my life much more conscious.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Processing is a programming language, development environment and community. With processing you can easily develop visually oriented applications like animations. Processing is based on Java language, but you don&#8217;t need to know Java to start developing in Processing language. Projects are called sketches because you can try out your new ideas pretty fast in the processing development environment.<span id="more-38"></span></p>
<p>The language itself was initiated by Ben Fry and Casey Reas. It is developed by a small team of volunteers. Originally it was just a sketchbook targeted towards artists and designers, but now the whole project evolved into a prototyping tool used for large-scale installation work, motion graphics, and complex data visualisation.</p>
<p>Processing is free, open source, it is availbe for everyone, the community and available libraries are great.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Check out my favorite animation created with Processing:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://vimeo.com/1593564">Music Is Math</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user656427">Glenn Marshall</a><br />

<p>Students at hundreds of schools around the world use Processing for classes ranging from middle school math education to undergraduate programming courses to graduate fine arts studios. There are libraries for music / sound processing, animations, 3D, webcamera functions etc.</p>
<p>A few facts copied from the <a href="http://processing.org">Processing website</a>.</p>
<p>* Design firms such as Motion Theory provide motion graphics created with Processing for the TV commercials of companies like Nike, Budweiser, and Hewlett-Packard.<br />
* Bands such as R.E.M., Radiohead, and Modest Mouse have featured animation created with Processing in their music videos.<br />
* Publications such as the journal Nature, the New York Times, Seed, and Communications of the ACM have commissioned information graphics created with Processing.<br />
* The artist group HeHe used Processing to produce their award-winning Nuage Vert installation, a large-scale public visualization of pollution levels in Helsinki.<br />
* The University of Washington&#8217;s Applied Physics Lab used Processing to create a visualization of a coastal marine ecosystem as a part of the NSF RISE project.<br />
* The Armstrong Institute for Interactive Media Studies at Miami University uses Processing to build visualization tools and analyze text for digital humanities research.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A few days ago the &#8220;Building better worlds&#8221; slogan popped into my mind. This was a slogan of a fictional company (Weyland-Yutani) in the aliens movie. I started thinking about this thing: how can we build better worlds: we only have Earth, but we really should try to make this place into something better. It all depends on us, on you too.</p>
<p>You can do something about it, just make one more people smile a day, and this will bring more and more smile in the world. Just be a little more positive and be optimistic. Try to be more patient, have a little more sympathy and things will become really good.</p>
<p>And a thought from Ascetic Brahma Chaitanya, it is from the movie <a href="http://www.liquidcrystalvision.com" target="_blank">Liquid Crystal Vision</a>:</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;You are nature aren&#8217;t you nature? So if you hurt any part of nature it will certainly rebound back upon you!&#8221;</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Working with a Wacom tablet is just great. Today most professional designers, like digital painters and designers who work a lot with photos (retouch, matte painting) use wacom tablet. One of the greatest features of intuos 4 that it can detect pen pressure in 2048 levels, providing really smooth pen movement and pressure detection.<span id="more-28"></span></p>
<p>The Japan Wacom company released their latest Intuos this year. I am a happy owner of an Intuos 4 since June. Previously I had a Wacom graphire 2, which was pretty small and old, but I liked it too (I have it more than 4-5 years and it works perfectly). Intuos 4 is pretty nice, comes with buttons and little displays next to the buttons, so you always see, what is the function of the buttons.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-31" title="expresskeys" src="http://psysoul.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/expresskeys.jpg" alt="expresskeys" width="100" height="69" /></p>
<p>There is a pen stand, which is great, because you can open it, and store your nibs inside. The nib extractor is also inside the pen stand. There are different nibs for the pen (five standard nibs, one flex nib, one stroke nib, and three hard felt nibs). I like to work with the hard felt nibs, the standard ones are good too, but they wear off pretty easily.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-34" title="wacom1" src="http://psysoul.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/wacom1.jpg" alt="wacom1" width="300" height="224" /></p>
<p>The changes from Intuos 3: pen pressure levels are 2048 in Intuos 4, it was 1024 in Intuos 3. The tablet can be used with left and right hand too, you can easily rotate the tablet and there are multiple USB connectors, on both side.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-32" title="imageresizerashx" src="http://psysoul.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/imageresizerashx-300x199.jpg" alt="imageresizerashx" width="300" height="199" /></p>
<p>There is a touch ring on the Intuos 4, which pretty much works like the touchring on ipods, it is a nice tool to change brush size or zoom in/out. We can also set different touch ring functions (4 different settings for a program), and switch between them with a button.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-33" title="ring" src="http://psysoul.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/ring.jpg" alt="ring" width="100" height="69" /></p>
<p>You can purchase different accessories for your tablet. These are not cheap but can add great comfort and different tools for your work flow.</p>

<p>Wacom tablets are not cheap, but the quality is perfect, and it is just the best tool to use for painters. I bought the L size, but I don&#8217;t use all the active area, so I guess an M size is perfect for everyone (except with a very big screen, like 24&#8243;).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am always amazed by the works of great designers, like Ryan Church. He is a concept designer, matte painter (<a href="http://psysoul.com/inspiration-ryan-church/#1">1</a>), who worked for the biggest companies like Universal Studios, Industrial Light &amp; Magic, Paramount Pictures, and also participated in some computer game concept design (Command &amp; Conquer 3:Tiberium Wars, Command &amp; Conquer: Red Alert 3).</p>
<p>You can check his portfolio site, to see pictures from different projects, like Star trek, Star wars II, Star wars III. There are also personal pictures on the site. The works are really great, nice, clean designs, powerful visuals.</p>
<p>There is also a little shop on the site, containing Ryan&#8217;s tutorial DVDs. A few titles: Volume 1: Rendering Matte Vehicles, Volume 3: Rendering Hi-Tech Architecture, Volume 4: Rendering Low-Tech Architecture. Now these DVDs are not as cheap as movie DVDs but they provide useful tips and everyday techniques that can lead you to successful designs.</p>

<p>Most of the time he works on a powerful PC, with a wacom intuos 3 tablet, using Maya, Photoshop and Painter.</p>

<strong>Matte painting: </strong> Matte painting is a technique often used for movies, where the painting is used to create environment elements which would be impossible (or too expensive) to build. A few years ago these paintings were painted on glass and most of the time they fit in the scenes perfectly. Nowadays matte paintings are created using computers and tablets. With the use of 3D programs film makers can achieve great, realistic effects so they can create whatever they want.<br />
Matte paintings often contain elements from photos, but enhanced, so there are things on these pictures which are painted only.</p>
