Ta Da!

I've started a company, a fully fledged company, with customers and all!!

Well it's been a little while and finally all can be revealed as to why I don't have a lot of time, however not in this post; his post is about a small annoyance that I have.

CDs.........DVDs........Floppies........Zip Disks.........and the pissing rest of them!

Tonight because yet again I can't sleep I decided to do some room maintenance, in particular the 11 foot stack of removable media that I've acrewed over the last 6 years of living in Derby.

I'm an absolute bugger for just writing another disk because I can't find the one I wrote last week, windows install disks are a typical example. Why write so many of the same disk? because it's cheaper to do that than to waste my time finding the old one. Well it's finally come back to bite me on the arse, because not only do I write a new disk, but I also don't label the fucking things. Joy!

So tonight I've been putting each and every disk that is in my computer room into a drive to see what is on it, only to find that there is also blank disks mixed into the pile. So at least I've gained some more disks to rewrite crap that I already have on disk so that in 5-6 years time I can do this all over again eh?

Over all, out of the 300+ disks that I checked I found about 20 with anything that I actually want to keep.

I found:

Laura's "King John" play that she did in Uni/College (I'll get her to she'll correct me.
Laura's Parents Africa photos from 2007
My school and college music, which I'm going to upload for a laugh.
My Egypt Holiday photos from 2007.
Various Projects that have been long forgotten.
Frontier Elite and Elite Plus (on CD and Floppy respectively)

All in all a good 3 hours find! Although it would have been less if my system didn't suffer from the vista disk drive disappearance bug. This is basically when the DVD/CD drive decides not to read and then fucks off on holiday leaving you without a drive, until that is you use drive management to remap it as a different letter.

Well that's about it for what I've done tonight, more posts to come I promise!

Well it's the first time I got taken out on a hen night!

Actually thats not technically true, it's the first time I've been dragged out as a photographer for a hen night. Normally I wouldn't have even entertained the idea because at the end of the day it's a womens night out, however it was my little sisters hen night and she wanted some good photo's. Whilst I don't have an amazing camera, nor is it a DSLR, unlike some people who have good cameras I actually know how to use mine (thats use it in other modes than auto) and how to get really good shots out of it.

The photos have been uploaded to the photo gallery, however there listed as family photo's untill I get permission to open them up to the "Friends" group. Meaning that only direct family members will be able to see them untill I'm told I can do otherwise.

Photos Are Here


For those who actually want to know the specs of my camera it's a Fuji s604 with a generic external flash and ir slave trigger, told you it wasn't anything special but it was a gift from my fiancee 2 years ago and it has a CF slot. As with everything when I get money that isn't being used on important things like eating and keeping a roof over my head I might consider getting something like a Nikon D50, Canon EOS 400, etc; however it's way way way way way down on the list
