Another Blog post another baby, yup that’s right number two is on the way, April to be precise, though as he / she is repeatedly scaring the crap out of me I’m thinking of going for names like Jason, Damian, and Freddy (not really).
The scariest thing possible has to be getting a call from your wife to tell you to come to the hospital, somethings gone wrong, a few weeks ago that happened, surfice to say without getting into too much detail fior a moment we didn’t know if the baby was going to be okay and it resulted in lots of warnings about the worst from Doctors and an overnight stay in hospital, but after a further scan all is well.
This also happened to be on the only day in my life I’ve worn a suit to work as I was having dinner with the head of the company who had flown out from Paris. This of course didn’t happen but did result in me wandering the hospital looking amazingly smart and professional, kind of the opposite of the look I have today, (Unshaven, ripped jeans, trainers and a hoody).
Work now is going suprisingly well, everyone is happy, I may get an assistant soon and I’m making some cool stuff which I’ll try to post when it’s done (Late December early January). Oh and it’s looking like I’m going to be directing my first proper commercial, unfortunately it’s through work, so no lovely Director and producers fee. well that’s enough about me for now exept to say I shall endevour to use this place a bit more
Wow I had no idea it has been over a year since my last post, that’s shocking!
Well here I am and to get things up and running I thought I’d talk a little more about the net in the last year as that’s how long it seems I’ve been away, it’s only a few posts back that I was posting about how Facebook is the next big thing, and now everone has gone mental about Twitter! These things seem very cyclicle as with Politics the people like change, they embrace it, they feel that the next big thing, or idea, or politician, or gadget has to be better than the last. They feel that change means progress when it’s not entirely true (As anyone who saw the second series of Heroes will agree with).
Change can be good and galvanising, just look at Obama, but lets face it he doesn’t have a lot to live up to, to surpass the last guy. In British politics things don’t seem as clear cut, change seems inevitable but is it for the best, is it for the right reasons, or is it beacuse the new guy has to be better than the old guy because he’s new?
Talking of change I have also changed jobs since I was last here, was this a good change or not? Well things are never really that simple are they, in lots of ways this was a good change, more money, more responsibility, more free time as it’s closer to home, but what sometimes also feels like more work, less variety in what I do, smaller budgets but no-one else telling me how to spend them, less time working around other people that share my interests and views. All in all it’s a good change but I miss the people I worked with more than anything else.
First saw this and thought it was fantastic. Then found out it’s a rip off of someone elses idea and felt a bit let down, never the less a great and effective ad
Now this looks very very cool, it seems to me the PS3 is looking like THE home entertainment hub what with the Blu-Ray player, the only thing letting it down at the moment seems to be the games
There are guides galore for Gmail and how to use IMAP but how do you actually get it? They are supposed to be rolling it out to everyone but I’ve been checking for ages and nothing. After setting up an account for my Brother at Christmas and it appearing instantly I was understandably a bit pissed and confused as I’d had my account for years and still stuck with POP access.
So before I tell you how to get it here’s why you should want it. POP lets you access your emails on any mail client and that’s it, IMAP ensures that changes you make to either web mail or your email client are synced with each other.
If you don’t have it available on your settings page the way I found that did it instantly was to change my language to English (US)
Once I’d done this I simply logged out and back in again and the IMAP option was there, hope this helps someone as I’ve been banging my head against a brick wall on this one for ages.
Busy, busy, busy, It’s Christmas and it can’t come too soon, as you can see Joshua is more than ready for his first Christmas. The presents are wrapped, work is oh so very close to being over and even though I’ve missed all but one of the Christmas parties this year I’m feeling pretty festive.
Well as my messages are becoming more and more infrequent and I have no idea if anyone out there is actually reading I shall say a quick Merry Christmas to anyone there, hopefully much more writing and photos in the New Year.
Well it’s been a month of leave, I still have a couple of days left but I’ll be going back on Wednesday and I know it’s going to be amazingly weird not being with Joshua and Teenie 24 hours a day. He’s just started being a bit more aware of toys around him, but of course sleeps a hell of a lot as well, at least it’s a short week, but I can’t believe the year is nearly over, in all it’s been prety damn amazing I got promoted, found out I was going to be a dad, BECAME a dad, and now everything seems very very different.
