A few weeks ago, prior to going on holiday, our digital camera went missing.  Now, when I cajoled Mrs Z into going digital and ditching the old 35mm, she had assurances that we could still have hard copies and that I would be able to keep the images safe.  Well I had planned to move the photos onto flickr and back them up somewhere, but I just didn’t get round to it did I.

Luckily, a couple of weks ago I went to IWMW10 and as a consequence I had to “renovate” my laptop bag and lo and behold, the camera turns up.  So for most of this week, I’ve not only been moving the images off the camera’s current SD card, I’ve moved them off an older card and off my son’s camera and SD cards.

I now have 2 more sets on flickr and can clear down the SD cards in readiness for the forthcoming jolly to Menorca.

I’ve only put the holiday ones on flickr.  I still need to sort the others out and move the videos.  Anybody got a preference: YouTube/Vimeo/Other.

Things are strange at work at the moment. Strange, because were trying to finish off a two week sprint and while we’re doing that we’re packing up the office for a move across campus.

The crates arrived last week and this afternoon I was panicked into starting to pack due to everybody else starting last week, and because at very short notice I was asked, and squared away, a trip to IWMW 2010.  Hopefully, I’ll make it over to Sheffield in time for the Patrick Lauke talk on HTML5 (and friends).

The packing took half an hour and I was done. I must hoard less stuff as I get older.

I last went to IWMW in 2008 in Aberdeen.   This year’s trip is due to a colleague dropping out at the last minute. I’m looking forward to it and this blog post is partly due to firing up the laptop whilst charging it in readiness, and partly because of the crap on the telly.

The final reason for this post is because as a web developer, I really need to get this blog back on track. I follow @philsherry on twitter and whilst he’s light years ahead of me in terms of ability and experience, I should be better. Phil has also done a really nice, recent post on a simple two liner to add a tweet this button/link to web pages.
