So I put up with it for a week to see if I got used to it but I just couldn’t take the “sickly” green (6EBC0B if you were interested) so I have gone for an inoffensive blue until I have some inspiration.

Different Month
I stayed down in London last night for the first of many similar stays over the next couple of months. My usual season ticket on the trains has been suspended in preparation for the engineering works on the trains with start in a couple of weeks. With some fairly lengthy negotiations I have arranged a …
Oops
We had a new tester start today so I set up his machine and he started working through one of our admin databases – the access requests. Unfortunately I forgot to switch the mail location in Lotus Notes so as the tester was merrily rejecting and approving test access requests, e-mails were being sent out …

Spurred on by Jake’s superb photography, I thought I’d try and filter out wheat from the chaff in my photos. As you can tell I am nowhere near as talented as Jake but hopefully I can improve as I have bought a couple of introduction books which go through how to frame photos, think about …
