Yep, birthday time.
And I’ve had a bottle……
I would say enjoy, but it appears I already have!
Suddenly a bit of motivation!
So, whilst bored I decided. I have played with my flash guns for a while. I’ve wanted to get some gels for a while now (I should speak to my mate Andy, after all he does make films and has plenty of gels), anyway in the absence of a 24 hour photography supplier I had to compromise.
CD cases to be precise. In fact the ones I bought for my Alamy submissions (reminds me, still got about £3 in the Post Office easy pay account). So after Alamy switched to upload I’ve had this pile of CD case waiting to go to the recycle bin.
So how did it go…….
So the flash setup as follows.
Left of the image: 580 MkII with 2x Blue(ish) CD case.
Furthest Right: 580 MkII with 2x Green CD case.
Off centre to the Right: 430 with 2x Red CD case, also with a card attached to the side to act as a flag.
Everything held in place with Blu-Tack! Apart fromone thing that used white-tack (or whatever it’s called).
Not motivated at all.
Dunno, just I can’t be bothered to do anything. Just randomly looking at shite on the internet. That’s about your lot. Sod all people on IRC either. I’ve a bottle of vodka in the freezer, however I don’t want to start a downwards spiral in to alcoholism (just yet). So I’m resisting the temptation. Mind you, I’ve also got a nice bottle of red.
(Just noticed, I can’t seem to type bottle without mistyping it as bootle first. I used to visit Bootle a while back in a previous job)
So, what has been happening in my life of late. Nothing other than work really, exciting Novell migrations. No I shit thee not, people actually still use NDS. But were ‘upgrading’ them to Active Directory. So all good stuff. Maybe my mood is down to me finally finishing a project that only I seem to be bothered with. Still I done it and I’m happy with the work.
Photography wise, sod all is happening at the moment. I could submit more stuff to Alamy, however I’ve still got 25 images left to manage!
An image you say……..
Taken at Asha’s restaurant in Birmingham. It may be used in a promotional banner. Anyway it’s a usual Asha’s kebab based curry meal (all meat skewered) with 2 drinks for about £9. Bleedin bargaintastic.
Anyway, enjoy the rant. And don’t worry I wont top myself.
Finally, finished my Bullring website!
Yes, it happened. Finally got my thumb out my arse and finished of that project.
Although the gallery looks the same I’ve made a few changes including rollover thumbnails, Linked images and a slideshow. All in wonderful Javascript!
The initial thumbnail is the black and white image, rolling over to the new colour thumb (using onMouseOver and onMouseOut).
Try it, you might like it!
Wireless – Update: failed
I dunno what it is at the moment. Everything I try fails. The Airport Express seems to be no exception to this rule. Though interestingly the update applied to the MacBook (802.11n) seems to have a strange effect on my old (now re-instated) Wifi, it seems to kill the wireless on my router.
Having setup wireless on the MacMini it simultaneously kills both Airports.
Anyway, back to the Express. Things seemed fine, until the constant drops in the network. Then for some reason I was unable to access the express via the Airport Utility. So pissed off with the lastest in the line of failing electronics it’s gone back in the box. Ready to return to Solihull. This is where I’ll find out what the store are like at returns.
/edit: Not too sure if iStumbler is the issue with killing my router. However the Airport Express was dropping out before I used iStumbler (which was to see if the network was still present).
