Image managing
I’m going through backups at the moment to see what sort of mess they are in. I won’t be missing anything, I’ll just have more than one copy. Images. Finder tells me I have 25gb, ~16000 photos. I have 11gb, ~4500 photos uploaded to my Smugmug page. So … there are around 12000 that need [...]
Obama lies.
So when Obama announced that “Iran is breaking rules that all nations must follow”, he is technically and legally wrong. Scott Ritter in The Guardian And who is Scott Ritter? William Scott Ritter, Jr. (born July 15, 1961) is noted for his role as a chief United Nations weapons inspector in Iraq from 1991 to [...]
OMG! Shocking!
I felt like I was treated very badly … It was very stressful. I had a terrible headache and felt quite ill. I nearly collapsed in the store and they had to call a First Aid helper for me.’ Bet you can’t guess what this is about. Link.
Nothing special
A day of no twitter, no adium, no skype and very limited email. Did I get more done? I did. Was it done better for having no distractions? It was. So will I do it again? Yep. Richard Hammond is coming to the village at the weekend. There are two industrial towers that need to [...]
Quiet
I sort my dock. Browsers together, then email programs, then talk stuff – Adium, Skype, twitter – and so on. So Twitter was in my field of view as was Adium. Both noisy, both there all the time. So yesterday I unsubbed from several email lists, moved twitter to the end on the right and [...]
8 legs, one tree.
I’ve been using Dropbox for a long time and it’s an excellent backup tool. The main problem though is that the files for it are contained in their own section of the Home directory. So I have to remember to save new items into the Dropbox and most of the time I don’t. I know [...]

Asda management choose not to read
We shop weekly and for the last few years it’s been at Asda. But over the months they are increasingly having promotions which mean there are large displays jutting out into the main aisles. They also have those promotions at the end of the ailses but these are in the actual aisle. They significantly narrow [...]
My dog is heavier than me.
Just weighed and I’m at 77.5kg (170lbs) so that’s a total loss so far of 22.5kg / 50lbs / 3.5st which isn’t too bad. As Winston was last weighed at 77kg and has since put some on that means my dog really does weigh more than me. Not so many owners can say that. I’ve [...]
Standing to attention
I’ve been insulted many many times both in the jobs I have done and in the wonderful world of the internet. Once you’ve played your part in a usenet flame thread all seems relatively calm. And it was until today. A blog was very legitimately shut. I did it and I’d do it again. Reasons [...]

Awesome shooting
