Its more than a month since I last wrote an entry. One of the reason (beside busy) for not updating my blog is laziness. I guess because I’m too occupied with other stuff. Ok ok, I know you want to know what am I occupied with during this time. Guess what? I finally got my first DSLR after blogging for 2 years. ;P

If you remember, I got my first ever digital camera (which is a compact camera) not long after I started blogging. Soon enough I found myself not satisfied with a compact camera. This is when I started to look for something that really suits my need. In this case a DSLR the best. It is also a good long term investment if you really interested in photography.

Enough with all the crap, let me poison you all with my new toy.

Canon EOS 50D is a camera Canon targeted on market of serious amateur and semi-professional photographers. Similar to its predecessor 20D, 30D and 40D, the EOS 50D offers fully automatic point and shoot mode to fully manual mode. The 50D is an upgrade to 40D where it has higher Megapixel of 15.1. It is also equipped with newer processor Digic 4 compare to 40D using Digic 3. Besides all these upgrades, 50D has lower FPS of 6.3 while its predecessor 40D has FPS of 6.5.

Enough with all these specification, if you would like to know more about the camera, here is a review on 50D.

We have OpenDNS, now even Google come out with its own public DNS.

What is Google Public DNS?

Google Public DNS is a free, global Domain Name System (DNS) resolution service, that you can use as an alternative to your current DNS provider.

To try it out:

• Configure your network settings to use the IP addresses 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as your DNS servers or
• Read our configuration instructions.

If you decide to try Google Public DNS, your client programs will perform all DNS lookups using Google Public DNS.

Why does DNS matter?

The DNS protocol is an important part of the web’s infrastructure, serving as the Internet’s phone book: every time you visit a website, your computer performs a DNS lookup. Complex pages often require multiple DNS lookups before they start loading, so your computer may be performing hundreds of lookups a day.

Why should you try Google Public DNS?

By using Google Public DNS you can:

• Speed up your browsing experience.
• Improve your security.
• Get the results you expect with absolutely no redirection.
