Whats new?

I have done three of these over the years, and they are worth there weight in gold, or paint. So good luck with the courses, you will at the start depending on the level the course is aimed at get the basics to start with and this will get you way past what many users on the internet who have Photoshop will be at (its an app that many like to brag about having, without really and honestly knowing how to use it fully*)

Once you get past the basics and into intermediate its a fantasic app to use, too powerful for everyday image editing and other apps do this type of thing easier and quicker, but for the multi layers and other options its fantasic.

*I even doing courses on it I only know about 50% of what it can do, its that powerful, Adobe Lightroom is one to touch on if you can, for a digital darkroom app its superb and I use this more than PS.

Wow where I start.

PC stuff

• Usual PC issues support thingy and beta testing stuffs on forums and on MS Connect and MS MVP stuff as well
• Installing and playing with a few new apps
• Writing a few guides, but this going slow
• Starting back blogging a bit more

Home stuff

• Messing around with Powerline networking and networked my internet ready LED TV to my main desktop and a netbook, as well as it having streaming internet TV from BBC iPlayer

Work stuff

• In last year of one project on a drug if proved to work better than another or at least equally that could save the UK NHS multiple millions per year
• Starting one new project and have two others in the pipeline to come likely next year
• Assesment clinic I help run, doing much better with referrals now coming in more, this is a new project to get patients with a specific eye disease into the system quicker, as well as saving the health service money in not doing tests that are not needed.
• Rectifying this week and for next few an issue with some image data, going to take longer than thought, plus double checking a new protocol to exporting medical images at the same time, have to as I co-wrote it.
• Need to get some interesting cases together as maybe training some new docs on the eye disease I deal with
• Getting some new PCs installed with all medical image viewing software and networked
• Few other odds and sods projects and tasks going on

oh and maybe eat, drink and sleep sometime in all of that.

 

Fun filled packed day then Augie, aslo you must be listening to the fans on your GPU wizzing around as its folding like crazy

 

Gezz Halo, you should try to find a hobby what with so little going on in your life!!

I am still couch testing. But I have added going to the physical therapy pool daily which is helping quite a bit.

My next project is to talk the kid into changing her own damn oil in her truck!! LOL

 

Maybe able to shoehorn a hobby into that lot somewhere

Spent all day with the task of rectifying some image exports, had a suddern abrupt halt when I noticed the network HDD space start going down to sub 1GB.... ooops! so had to FTP a few GBs of data to free up space before tomorrow.

Couch testing now there sounds a great hobby I could try.

How is she with car mechanics and stuffs and is the military still on the cards?

Sounds good Fred, so in deer season are you limited to how many you can get?

 

Sorry about your dad's back.

What are they teaching you about Photoshop? I love working with it. I learn something pretty much every time I go on.

 

Couch testing is a very noble profession!! LOL

The daughter knows how to do it, she's just too lazy to do it. She was complaining about the way her truck was running, but it was all because she had one tire almost flat, low power steering fluid and she also needed so brake fluid. So I will keep the truck and she can drive mine, which she hates, until I get around to doing the deferred maintenance!!

Military is still in the works, she is having a hard time gathering all the medical records for them, as they want things from 10 to 15 years ago. Plan is still to enlist by February. Thanks for asking, Dave.

 

It sounds like a profession I need to get into

Get the wrenches out this weekend and get her all oiled up!!! Great on the military and hope the medicals are all ok, sounds like a great area she wants to get into.

Next question is how many other hunters can you take out

ahhhhh HA, Emelda Macros of Majorgeeks has awoken, I'm sure you can sense from 1 mile that someones mentioned shoes or you can smell the leather



Today I was a littery genius and had alot of the staff on our floor in tears, well me have a milk thief!

My notice on the fridge was, not word for word as need to be on works PC to dig up the word doc.

Well have to add I drink my coffeee black and very strong, like expresso, but not the point as I have milk in tea and my collegue and any visitors may have milk.

 

Ah I see, only kill what you can likely eat or at least give away to family and friends.

Yeah you can pick the hunters, those with no orange jackets are fair game.

 

Damn it, should have copyrighted it!!!
