Once (2006)

Once (2007) is a little independant film I saw recently and that I'd like to recommend. Not since Almost Famous has a music film been this good. It won the oscar for best song btw.

Macbook Pro

My Macbook Pro (Penryn) has finally arrived. It truely is one hell of a laptop and everything my previous retired 12" powerbook was plus extra screen estate and more snappy.

Tiefenauer & Gaunt Webdesign

Web design is a process of conceptualization, planning, modeling, and execution of electronic media content delivery via Internet in the form of technologies (such as markup languages) suitable for interpretation and display by a web browser or other web-based graphical user interfaces (GUIs).

Road tripping, or motoring, is not only an American hobby, it is enjoyed the world over. Although the history of road trips may be different in each country, the idea, concept, and methods remain realitively unchanged world-wide. For this reason, it can be fairly easy to conduct a road trip on foreign soils.

Tennis is a game played between two players (singles) or between two teams of two players (doubles). Each player uses a strung racquet to strike a hollow rubber ball covered with felt (most of the time yellow,[1] but can be any color or even two-tone) over a net into the opponent's court.

about me

Hello! My name is Kevin Gaunt and I'm a computer science student from Zurich, Switzerland. Currently I'm in my fourth semester at the Hochschule für Technik Rapperswil and on track for a bachelors degree. Throughout my studying career I plan to assemble a versatile toolset of skills that will hopefully prove helpful in a future career as a software developer. Being raised bilingually I am fluent in both German and English and know just about enough French to get by.

I am a strong advocate of simple, beautiful and effective design which is why I am also a co-founder of Tiefenauer & Gaunt Webdesign, a company of two which specialises in web design and web application development. As I am always interested in discovering new challenges so please don't hesitate to contact me.

Software engineering is the application of a systematic, disciplined, quantifiable approach to the development, operation, and maintenance of software.[1] It encompasses techniques and procedures, often regulated by a software development process, with the purpose of improving the reliability and maintainability of software systems.[2] The effort is necessitated by the potential complexity of those systems, which may contain millions of lines of code.

Although the history of road trips may be different in each country, the idea, concept, and methods remain realitively unchanged world-wide. For this reason, it can be fairly easy to conduct a road trip on foreign soils. Many travelers from European countries, and Australia, flock to the United States to take part in the American idea of a road trip, and frequently Americans travel abroad to travel foreign motorways. Unlike some other methods of travel, the automobile allows travelers to customize their trip and set their own pace.

the lab

The Lab is an environment where I post various projects and experiments regarding any subject I can possible think of. Assignments passed to us during the semester will also be featured here. Please consider that some of these newly mixed substances have not been tested and it is thus unknown what adverse effects they may or may not cause.

Experiments

Sneek
Current project for a software engineering class.
Bibliotheca
Previous project to try out swing and user interface design.

Photography (IPA: [fә'tɒgrәfi] or IPA: [fә'tɑːgrәfi][1]) is the process of recording pictures by means of capturing light on a light-sensitive medium, such as a film or electronic sensor. Light patterns reflected or emitted from objects expose a sensitive silver halide based chemical or electronic medium during a timed exposure, usually through a photographic lens in a device known as a camera that also stores the resulting information chemically or electronically. Photography is often the basis of advertising and in fashion print. Photography can also be viewed as a commercial and artistic endeavor. The word "photography" comes from the French photographie which is based on the Greek words φως phos ("light").

The camera or camera obscura is the image-forming device, and photographic film or a silicon electronic image sensor is the sensing medium. The respective recording medium can be the film itself, or a digital electronic or magnetic memory. Photographers control the camera and lens to "expose" the light recording material (such as film) to the required amount of light to form a "latent image" (on film) or "raw file" (in digital cameras) which is converted to a usable image. Modern digital cameras replace film with an electronic image sensor based on light-sensitive electronics such as charge-coupled device (CCD) technology. The resulting digital image is stored electronically, but can be reproduced on paper or film.
