New Camera

No Comment // Written on Sep 14, 2008 // Livin La Vida London, Tech

The other day my new replacement camera arrived in the mail. I got myself a Fuji Finepix F100fd, a 12Mp compact with a zoom lens. :-) It was a little more expensive than the old one that was stolen (about $50) but it’s well worth it.

So yeah more photos to come, and I will most definately be backing all of them up as soon as I can to avoid anymore losses.

New Designs

5 Comments // Written on Aug 31, 2008 // Livin La Vida London, Tech

It has only taken me all weekend non-stop to get this thing up and customised to a point where I am happy, but it’s done. I have used a WordPress theme and done some hardcore customising including integrating a tonne of plugin. So I am now all web2.0 socialised!

The photos on the right side are from my Europe trip and are static at the moment, I plan to do more research and write something that can feed these from my Facebook or Flickr account.

If anyone has any comments please let me know. Leyton I know you must have a million changes you can recommend! :-)

Ohh yeah I have managed all this because I have replaced my stolen laptop. Better CPU, more RAM and a bigger HDD ….for £30 less than the original, thank you crack-heads!.

An expensive piece of paper!

This is my London Travelcard, it get’s me to and from work each day and gives me unlimited travel on the London Underground so that I can get from my house to the Waterloo…where my train to work leaves from.

It cost me £277.70 or $568.81 Australian Dollars! So it’s currently my most prized possession.

Work has been pretty good lately, been doing heaps of design work and am currently working on a new version of one of our sites and my boss has started teaching me Linux, PHP, and SQL :-D

Looking for some new hosting too at the moment, got the latest hosting bill and it’s just too expensive for what I am getting (Australian hosting is just expensive) so I will be moving to either a US or UK host before the end of the month. Hopefully no one will notice any changes and thus have no problems but if you do let me know. Damo, Martin, Justin and Mum you all have email with me but if all goes to plan I wont need to do anything.

Not to be one to just repost from Engadget but freaking hell check out what Nintendo will be releasing soon for the Wii! It’s a damn weight board with crazy sensors, along with a new fitness release….we knew it was only a matter of time.

This is awesome because I bought a Wii as a Christmas present for myself last year and just recently decided it was a waste of money….not any more.

Check out all the other pics from the Engadget post here.

….okay I know I sound like a little girl but I keep thinking about all the things they can do with these new Wii controllers :-D

The Godfather - The Game

The Godfather - The Game

Well I have been putting in a lot on long hours at “The Office” lately and I have almost finished “The Godfather” game on XBOX.

This game is one of the best games I have ever played, it’s like a mafia GTA :-)

Matt and I started playing it last year, I was playing on PC and he was playing on XBOX, it’s been about 7-8 months now and we are finally back into it. Matt’s mate Doug is also playing at home on PS2….so it’s a race to see who will finish first. {I think I might have an unfair advantage though, not working and all}

EA have also released this game on XBOX360, Wii and now PS3 with a heap of new features and game play options….I watched a video of the Wii version and I think I’ll give it a burl once I finish the XBOX version, however I really really want to get it on XBOX360 so I will be ready for GTA: IV in October.
