Mac OS X Leopard

October 26th 2007: Launch Day.

Since owning a Mac I’ve changed. 2 years ago the thought of paying let alone queuing for an operating system would have been strange. But times change. I’m now an Apple fanboy, so naturally when Apple release the next iteration of their OS I’m queuing.

Apple QueuingI initially planned on queuing at 17:00. However I got there around 16:30, so started to queue up then. The closer to the front, the sadder I guess. So I was happy to be number 6 :p (not at all sad then!).

As usual with Great Britain, people see a queue as want to know what is happening. Now shoppers are a funny bunch. They ask why we are queuing, we tell them something along the lines of ‘It’s for Apple’s new operatiing system’. This normally suffices the curiosity of most. However one person, saw the X displayed in the Apple store and asked if we were queuing for X-Factor (no I shit thee not, someone really did). So with this free entertainment the hour and a half soon passed.

Fitness campaign v43322232.1

Yes, it’s that time again when my body and me decide to take a different path for fitness. I’ve been enjoying yoga for a couple of months now, but decided I needed that big push to shift the flab.

So today I join a gym, nothing too fancy. A local council gym. Facilities are fine and the equipment works. Enjoyed the circuit around the gym tonight. However the body is fighting back. I’ve had the sniffles for the last day, maybe the cold will resurface after a 2 week break. We’ll see.

I’m going again Wednesday, so hopefully it’ll shift.

Twin flash setup

Just like a bus, one flash turns up and so does another. Well not quite, but after shifting some stuff on ebay I bought a second flash unit (430EX) and the ST-E2 Remote Trigger. The source this time was Digital-Rev in Hong Kong. I had some money in PayPal which they accept. The price difference between Kerso and DR wasn’t so great this time. So HK won this time. No issues with import duty as they paid the duty charge up front. So all I had to do is order and wait for delivery. It only took 4 days!

Anyway, after five days of playing I’m happy with the results so far. It’s not the first off camera flash setup I’ve had. My old film Eos had one. Sadly this wasn’t compatible (well the TTL part) with the E-TTL system on Eos Digital. Still time moves on and things get updated, so it’s kinda expected.

The first test is with the 580ex mkII on the floor and the 430ex on my desk just under face height. I like the way the shadow is cast on my nose but the uplight is catching part of my face.

Blues vs Keep Right On

So today I reached a conclusion about my life, I’m shite at football. Also I’m quite overweight and unfit. So hopefully in the morning (legs permitting) I might go for a jog. I need also to cut down on the shite I eat.

Anyway, good laugh playing today. We managed to keep our score at Nil. Blues old boys scored 15. Still it’s all for charity, which I need to get people to stump up for. Enjoy the pics, include the fat bloke one at the end.
