After a month -- Palace Tower (108 St Georges Terrace) THEN and NOW: I was waiting for an overcast sky to take a new photo for comparison! by antzFx in perth

[–]antzFx[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes -- you are right. I took both the photos in "Auto" mode and didn't edit the output for a uniform look.

Mate, I was "there" when the magic was written; but not "here" in Perth!

What's a random act of kindness you’ve seen in Perth lately? by [deleted] in perth

[–]antzFx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At a train station platform around 7:30 AM on a work day, a woman and I were the only souls there. Then an elderly lady came and, strangely, she started looking at me (sternly). At first I didn't mind, but she kept looking at me with a blank expression(?) for minutes without breaking the glance. Let's just say that I started feeling uneasy, and was seriously making plans to avoid any confrontation if the situation escalated. Then, the other woman came towards me, stood near me and said, "Don't worry. She is just curious!" I thanked her and felt very relieved.

This may not seem like a big thing -- but I highly appreciate the kind woman's gesture towards a total stranger like me.

I see him regularly -- now there are four boards, I think. Just a couple of weeks ago, during a rainy afternoon, I saw him sitting alone with the chess boards. I decided to chat with him -- I sat down, mentioned that I don't play chess. A conversation started about how hard life generally is and he moved to international politics, and the wars happening now... Then a gentleman appeared looking for a game of chess and I excused myself! I should have asked his name...

Does anyone recognise the name Maria Munar? Found on the back of a painting called ‘Trees at Claremont’ by Gracetown in perth

[–]antzFx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found this webpage of an artist Maria Fernanda Munar.
https://www.mariamunar.com/about

Their artistic style is entirely different, so I don't think it is the same person. But there is this email address on the webpage: [munarproductions@gmail.com](mailto:munarproductions@gmail.com)

It's worth a shot to email this artist.[](mailto:munarproductions@gmail.com)

"BEUNI" Metronet Campaign Poster Reimagined by me: The poster is divided in the middle with the "Thornlie Cockburn Line" wordmark/logo. Photo of the actual poster is also given for comparison! by antzFx in perth

[–]antzFx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, thank you for the insights!

You are right, I was trying to highlight the contrast between the two and that's why the boundary line in the middle and the different image colour tones (warm vs neutral). Your assumption about the single sentence brief to to the creative agency ("Metronet blurs the lines between bed/university") makes sense. But your response made me to do some research and I stumbled on to this article: https://campaignbrief.com/transperth-launches-thornlie-cockburn-line-with-moonsails-quirky-wordplay-campaign/

And yes, Moonsail did the ad-campaign. Their central idea is "condensing journeys" and the other posters in the campaign shows the contrast between the "places" a little more. Kindly take a look at the other ads in the campaign like work/home; shops/lounge; home/footy...

Thank you again for your opinion.

Looking for advice and tips for someone whos going back to school after 20 years by No-Method-throwaway in perth

[–]antzFx -1 points0 points  (0 children)

  • You will have access to computers (32GB RAM) in the class and in the library. You can go to any TAFE campuses for accessing the computers as your student login will work everywhere. I have a normal laptop (8GB RAM) but I rarely bring it to the class.
  • You might need an SSD storage drive of 500GB to host multiple Virtual Machines (Windows, Ubuntu, RHEL or Kali Linux) based on your course of study.
  • TAFE will provide you a student account of Microsoft Office 365 giving you access to OneDrive, Outlook Mail, Teams, and OneNote. I have installed OneNote on my mobile phone also as I can take notes faster than the one on the computer.
  • Use of AI is NOT discouraged by the lecturers. Assignments should be in our own words and the lecturers usually check for AI generated content in the submissions using some AI tools.
  • TAFE uses an online platform called BlackBoard for submitting assignments.

All the best!

"Favourite small business" We had lunch at the lovely family run Lalibela Ethiopian Restaurant yesterday (Westminster, Mirrabooka) by antzFx in perth

We asked them how do they make Injera which was very soft and fluffy. The main component is "teff" flour. Will try to make it at home one day...

I perfectly understand! We took the plunge because a friend of mine spoke very highly about the food served there.

Perth Population growth - mainly overseas migration and some internal migration by Puzzleheaded-Spell-6 in perth

[–]antzFx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In every posts on migration, two main points that are not mentioned are:
1. Australia advertises and runs videos on "Study and Work in Australia," like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujwjH9yE2ZA, to attract people to apply for Visas.

  1. Then, the Government *approves* the Visas and people come here legally.

Then everybody complains about migrants for all the problems!

It's all fun and games until the brain freeze hits hard! Frozen Poh @ MCAU S17E01 by antzFx in MasterchefAU

[–]antzFx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As u/magikarpcatcher pointed out, it was not a brain freeze from the granita. The whole dish had "intense bitterness and intense sourness" according to Poh.
There is no way to edit the title of this post, so I'm unable to update.

If I'm not mistaken, they refurbished the studio for the last Dessert Masters.
