@chrismarquardt I wish my phone would make OSX panic, just so I could look at the beautiful screen. Maybe I should stop using Bluetooth…
Currently (and rather randomly) helping a Swedish graphic designer to create an iTunes music visualiser…
Mozy.com had me mail them plain text logs as they didn’t recognise tarred and gzipped files. Scary being more techy than my tech support
@davidpatrick Heh. I could’ve been more precise with their name, but it was a bit difficult to make the lead singer out at the time :)
Doing my weekly review; unusually it’s only been a week since the last one…
Venue: dark and smoky. Cowboy hats: many. Now we just need Alabama 3 to take the stage…
Note to self: Radio Freedom are really good
@floyduk Lucky man! I love Portmeirion. Good photo opportunities just outside village by the Pagoda, IIRC. Give Rover a biscuit for me!
Damn. Garden centre too full for either eating or buying plants. Heading for a park instead.
Oooh, beautiful day. Think I might go buy some plants for the garden. Mostly just so I can have lunch at the garden centre’s cafe, mind…
Things I have learned today: Wearing two right contact lenses, rather than a left and a right, is not optimal.
Also, wearing the right contact lens the wrong way up doesn’t help when it comes to diagnosing the first problem.
@bexxi I also got a haircut and had lunch outside, and am having coffee in the sun. Maybe I should buy a phone, too…
@jacintuk No, I mean the “inside out” kind of wrong way up, not the “rotated” kind of “wrong way up”…
I wonder how long it’ll be before the firewall at work blocks Flickr because it’s now a “streaming video” site?
@floyduk why, what did it say to you?
@chrismarquardt Right down to the punctuation! I’m impressed…

Ugh. Definitely coming down with something.
Experimenting with RSS. Have just created test feed of Merlin’s Mannerisms for 2008 :) http://feeds.feedburner….
Gah! Finally getting around to my first “weekly review” for three weeks.
Damn, but I need to calibrate these monitors. Anyone know of a good cheap calibrator?

Just unplugged my TV and turned it to face the wall. Thus begins my experment to see if I can cope with the withdrawal symptoms
At harbour taking pictures of water skier. How does shutter priority work again? :-)
@floyduk would love invite, please! Just trying to figure out what to buy to go with new 400D right now :)
Oh, that’s why the exposure bracketing wasn’t working. It’s because what I’d actually turned on was the white-balance bracketing…
I wonder how long this rebate form will take to get to Canon Europe? I’m given to understand that it’s a long way to Tipperary…
