Making it Big

I love the vending machine at work. Put in a twoony (Canadian 2 dollar coin), hit the button for a Coke, the machine dispenses the drink can, and returns 4 U.S. quarters change! So the Cokes really only cost you 60 Canadian cents then. Of course this only worked 3 times, but hey that puts the score at me 3, world 57-billion.

Work? Ya, nothing serious just switching a local business’ client database over from their old DOS-based reporting software to a slightly newer system. That and the promise of a few other small projects in the coming months.

Photophobia

Yeah, so I’m still not taking pictures yet, except the occassional shot when someone else wants a record of something. So why aren’t I? Who really knows.

Part of it lies in not wanting to walk around poking a ‘bulky’ camera in people’s faces for a mere 2 megapixel ‘ROI’, if you will. Then there’s not actually getting to spend as much time on the laptop editing it as I’d like, added to which I’m not exactly a huge fan of relying on a laptop screen to gauge whether the colors of an image are as I’d like them to be.

Another niggling hindrance is that I would like to change the way I present photos on the site, but with a yearning to throw up a new design at some point in the not-too-distant future, I’d rather just do it all in one go.

I mentioned getting my hands on a Canon G3, but since then I’ve re-established that what I really want it a d-slr like the Canon 10D, so I’m still saving my pennies for now.

So basically I’m just full of B.S. at the moment!
