365project: Day 20, March 17, this time for reals.

Right. I found the missing day that was doing weird and not-so-wonderful things to my project tracking. I missed March 17, day 20 of the project.



My dearly beloved got me this flower because I was feeling rather down.

Screwing up my 365project, and general technology fail.

Somewhere in the last couple of weeks, I've managed to come a bit adrift and screw up my 365project. Sigh.

I'm going to go back through, figure out which day I've missed, and edit the day/date bits so that it's all fixed and sane again. And hopefully maintain a spreadsheet of all this, so I don't do it again.

Turns out it was the 17th of March, Day 20 that I managed to skip over. I've posted the photo for that day, and nearly caught up to today. I also now have a nice big spreadsheet with days, dates, and filenames, so hopefully I shouldn't screw up again any time soon. Does anyone have a better way to do it?

Argh.

Also, my email is screwed, my phone is screwy, and I'm generally not in the right frame of mind to be frantically writing an assignment right now.

Days like these, I really just want to say 'fuckit', go to bed and read a book. Also I would like new shoes, a new phone, a DSLR, a kindle, and some spare time. And a pony.

365project: Day 15, 16, 17 and 18

I've had a rough few days, as anyone who's been around me knows. Saturday I just ran out of time. Sunday I forgot my meds, and was pretty much useless the whole day. Monday ... well, apparently skipping a day of meds, taking my normal dose and then eating breakfast was a bad, bad idea, and I was punished with intense nausea for most of it. Tuesday I finally got to take some photos, which I am nominating as backfill for those days. My second-bests post will be a little anemic this week. Without further ado, here they are:

Saturday, Day 15.
(taken on Tuesday)


I was trying to take a photo of a new shoot coming out of the branch. Unfortunately the focus didn't go where I wanted it to go. So you get the gist, but the detail is blurry. Again, quite appropriate for how I was feeling that day.

Sunday, Day 16.


Today I did take photos ... of the G5 we're selling and of the lovely bruises on my arm. Clearly my self-portraiture has a ways to go. So you get an action shot of the G5 instead.

Monday, Day 17.

An older frangipani flower that had fallen to the grass. I liked the slightly ragged look of this one - and I chose it because I was definitely feeling ragged on Monday.


Tuesday, Day 18.


This is outside what used to be a shop. I took it because I thought the texture of the stair was really interesting.

365project: Day 4

I hated all my photos today. This was the one I disliked least. At least it's cute.

For days like this, I am starting up a 'Fail' album here.

In keeping with my steadfast faithfulness to a particular tool or set of tools, I've yet again changed hosts, this time to SmugMug.

To recap, I started with F-Spot/Flickr, went to Picasa/PicasaWeb, and arrive today having tried Shotwell/Picasaweb, F-Spot/Picasaweb, settling on F-Spot/SmugMug. I used SmuggLr to export my photos from Flickr, although it fails to import from Picasaweb - I suppose at least I'll have relatively little work to redo. I am slightly annoyed at the sheer fail embodied by the tools available for this sort of thing - surely, exporting to an API isn't that hard?

Oh well. I'll live. But ye gods, what a horrible day.
