What bemused you today?

I had a hit on my blog yesterday from a site in France that advertises treatment for haemorrhoids.

Now I could take this one of two ways,

Who do I know in La Belle France who suffers from the Farmers?

Or does my photography when viewed initiate an attack of the Nobbies?

Very irritating, in fact quite a pain up the bum!

lol...

Same thing as bemuses or annoys me on a regular basis, using Tech sites to get answers to computer problems and having people post nonsensical or annoying responses. I've decided to set up a Linux box (AGAIN) so see how the current crop of photo apps compare with the usual Windows/Mac versions. I installed Mint but couldn't get it to work with my Windows Network. One response was to get rid of my Windows and switch all to Linux. Unlike here, there doesn't appear to be a facility for smilies, so I don't know if this person is serious or joking.

Looking up something on the County Council web site I scrolled down to find this item.....

'Dog fouling - provided by your local council'   ........ so that's where it comes from!!

I was on the TechRadar site last night and happened to scrolled down to the bottom of the page and noticed that in the Future Publishing box they had PhotoRadar listed as an associate site. Out of curiosity I clicked on it and it takes you to the 'new' DCM site. How many weeks has it been and they can't even update their own web sites?

Just had a look, if I'm not mistaken, it IS a new DCM site.
Or have clicked on something else? Anyway, it has the new D4 on the front page

I'm looking at the gray rectangle at the very bottom (I'm using Firefox on Mac Snow Leopard) on the right hand side is PhotoRadar, it does go to the new DCM site.

[Mick]

It takes you to Digital camera world, which was Photoradar, then re-branded. 

Yes, takes them ages to update links etc, the team can't do it, and have to pay someone to do these little jobs.

It's the whisky I drink. 

A man has died after falling into a vat of whisky at a Glenfiddich distillery in Banffshire, Scotland

Father-of-two Brian Ettles fell to his death in the 16ft wooden barrel on Saturday 7 January and drowned in the 50,000 litre tank.

Ettles was found in tank of yeast and water called 'washback.' Washback is whisky in the early stages of its production and the tanks are so large that people have been known to convert the barrels into temporary housing.

The alarm was raised at 10.40pm on Saturday 7 January as a rescue operation to try and save the 46-year-old proved unsuccessful.

The senior distillery worker had worked at the company for over 23 years, and is thought to have committed suicide just a day after his wife Irene Ettles 54th birthday celebrations.

The whisky distillery, a popular tourist spot, has been closed for two days as a mark of respect for Ettles.

A Glenfiddich spokesman said: "We decided to close as a mark of respect for the person who died. Our thoughts go out to his family."

Speaking of DCM, I picked up the December copy yesterday (not sure why it's still on sale). Leafing through I found some articles entitled "Create..blah, blah" Maybe it's just me but I thought, these should be entitled "FAKE blah blah blah" using Photoshop. Which brought me to another thought. Future has a specific publication for Photoshop. Why the over lap?

I see Martin Pratt is at it again.

Good to see you're singing the praises of your No tog there Alan 

So, WBMT? I've takne over managing my pension by transferring it into a SIPPs account.
As part of my portfolio i purchased 20,000 shares in a well known high street UK Bank.
This was part of my 'penny share allocation' 

On Monday i might invest in 20,000 shares from another certain well known UK bank - but that might involve a slightly larger outlay- like 2p shares

Just looked at the stats for my flickr photostream. Daily views probably average out at 200 to 300ish - the event stuff and all the various dog breeds plus the camera/lens tags bump it up - todays views 10,885  I think someone must have had my 10,000 plus pictures on slideshow all day!

Today I received a parcel in the post, last year I bought an Epson printer and filled the online registration in and filled in a questionnaire, for filling in the questionnaire I received an Epson Labelworks LW-300 printer, now that was a pleasant surprise, now what am I going to do with it....

Well yesterday
I dropped my work phone in some Yorkshire pudding batter! 
Yes it was an accident! I was trying to do two things at once and talk on the phone while working on a machine in an commercial kitchen when it slipped from being cradled between my shoulder and head and with all the metres and metres of stainless steel worktop to fall on, it goes straight into the batter mix. I fished it out and it worked for an hour or so after I cleaned it up but has given up the ghost since - I wont get too much stick when I report that one on Monday
