Monday, Shortly

Back at work, there was plenty to do. Told the boss I won't be taking any more time off this month, will work the Turkey Day holiday. Will probably also work Christmas, if I'm still employed.

Watched some MNF, mostly with the sound off. In theory, a coach, a QB and a wanna-be ought to be a good commentator team, but the last 10 minutes were spent ignoring the game on the field and talking about the Vikings.

Sat down at the computer, removed all the Maui photos from Flickr, fired up Adobe Bridge and built web galleries for each event last week, and uploaded that to howeird.com/gallery. Web resolution pix, which means there's room to put all of them up. Later in the week I'll pick the best photos and put them on Flickr, and maybe my howeird page on FB too.

Updated the iPhone to the latest software.

Upgraded Quicken 2009 to 2010 because B of A stopped downloading my Visa card to Quicken, and the message on their site said it needed 2010 or later. 2011 doesn't work with my check printing software. After the update, B of A still choked.

Time for bed.

On the the Next Project....

Finished doing everything I wanted to do with my Maui photos. Pared down the offering on Flickr, and reorganized somewhat too. M y camera's GPS got flooded early in the trip, but I was able to put most of the photos on the map somewhere near where they were taken. You can find them here.
Obligatory teaser shots ( behind the cut )

Next up is to slurp the contents of three DV tapes and make them into DVDs. These are from a trip my friend Janice took as she played tour guide for a long-time friend, a native of Fiji who had never been out of her country before. She rarely even got out of her village. Thanks to US State Dept. stupidity it took her 5 years to get a visa. 

Also will start getting back into model photography.

Work today was mostly boring. Frustrating too. Had a couple of my bugs bounced back. One because someone changed the wireless router security code, and another because the manufacturer put in a separate config menu which they had not mentioned. Today's blu-ray player has a serious memory leak problem, it has to be unplugged every few hours or it gets real sluggish.

Plans for tomorrow:
Work
Maybe start the next project
