Updates

  • still under

    This is Takafumi Ide’s new web site.

    This is still under constructing, so you might have some trouble to check this site while I am updating/figuring out.
    こちらのサイトはまだ完成しておりません。現在もアップデートをしているので、閲覧中にリンクが壊れるなどの問題が生じるかもしれません。

    My “statement,” “bio” and “cv” in this menu are already available.
    Also, you can email me through “contact” page.
    しかし、”statement,” “bio” と “cv”、さらに”contact”などは、閲覧／使用可能です。

    The old page (last update Jan. 2010) is available here.
    It may be still more images than this site.
    2010年１月現在のサイトは、こちらからアクセスできます。
    こちらの方が、現在の段階では作品画像が豊富です。

    If you do Facebook, twitter, LinkedIn, I do some.
    Please find the icons/links on the side bar.
    右のリンクには、過去のサイトが、リンクされています。
    Facebookやtwitterをされている方は、そちらもご覧ください。

    Hope to finish this site in a couple weeks.
    Thank you.
    数週間中には、完成の予定ですので、またお越し下さい。
    よろしくお願いいたします。

  • After NVIDIA issue

    I have my MacBook Pro back, which was fixed by Apple.  It took only three days even they ordered new motherboard. It looks okay though, once I started to actual work, I noticed that I had to do something.
    Since the motherboard was swapped due to the video-chip on the board, some application/hardware, like Maya and iPhone, must be reauthorized. It required a little bit work, otherwise, it seems okay to me. I’m happy to be able to use my laptop.

    Now I should start to edit/upload my images in this web. Well…, it is not that simple.
    Now my priority is the fact that I have to write some reports for a grant and other thing for SBU.  In the meanwhile, I need to figure out how the sound signal activate the 12V light bulb with the speaker in my previous post.  I need to order new parts and test them out.

    Actually, I will have two exhibitions in September-October 2010.  One is a group exhibition, “SBU Art Faculty Exhibition 2010,” at the University Art Gallery in the Staller Building at the Stony Brook University on Long Island, NY. I am going to show decipher which originally exhibited in the Second Street Gallery, Charlottesville, VA.  I need to start to install in a couple of weeks.  Other one is a solo exhibition in the ISE Cultural Foundation Gallery in Soho, NY. In ISE, I am going to show three works; crossroads, breathe, and new work which has no title yet.

    Interesting, so excited, but too busy to work with this schedule.

  • NVIDIA video card issue

    I have been used MacBook Pro(mid/late 2007) as my main machine since 2007.
    I knew that it has several technical issues.  I replaced the recalled rechargeable battery twice.  Right before AppleCare plan expired in June 2010, I asked to replace the LCD display, which had several dead pixels.  After the display replacement, I noticed the fact that the tiny metal above the front push bottom was warped.  As the result, technically, I got a new monitor and fairly used battery in my 3-year-old machine.

    Last weekend, while I was updating my web site with an external monitor, I found out the fact that it had the NVIDIA video card issue.  Usually I use only on-monitor, but not for web editing since there are too many small codes to edit in on-monitor.  Luckly, because of this, I could prove the fact that my machine has the issue.

    So, if you have MacBook Pro(mid/late 2007), you would be better to check if your machine has the same issue in the video chip/motherboard.

    Hopefully, Apple is able to fix my machine this week… so that I can edit my work/documentation images for this web.

  • Speaker

    I need to figure out how this works with 12V light.
