Should be working

It may appear from all the photo’s I take whilst at work that not much actual work gets done, just hope the boss don’t think that too or there may be trouble ahead.
Oh well at least I get to use my camera and any way I blame my mate he’s always coming in with his camera and just leads unto temptation, not that I need much encouragement mind.

Plus I get to learn stuff too, again today I realized how much of an idiot I truly am, messing around with my camera setting’s, I found out what I thought was some sort of Macro, was in fact the manual focus setting (got confused by the little magnifying thingy that appears on the LCD screen).
But when I did actually get the camera set to macro the photo above was the result, quite pleased with that.

New To This

As the title suggests I am new to this blogging thing but having been invited by a fellow idiot, I thought I’d give it a go.
Now what does one write about on these thing’s I asked myself, before embarking on such a venture(no point having a blog if you ain’t got nowt to write about) and then whilst setting this thing up the answer presented it self.
Whilst in the process of setting this blog up I found out I could link up to my Flickr account and have my photo’s displayed in a little box in the sidebar, excellent I thought that’ll be fun to play around with.
And so I went ahead full steam trying to figure out how this little display box worked, I think I said something about this being a fun thing to do, boy was I wrong. Just follow the instruction’s simple, all I needed was the URL for my RSS feed link, the instruction’s said and I quote “Your RSS feed can be found on your Flickr homepage. Scroll down to the bottom of the page until you see the Feed link and copy that into the box above.” do you think I could find it, so after scrolling up and down several times and even resorting to squinting at the screen in the vain hope it would magicaly appear and much swearing later, I had to finally admit defeat and consult the Flickr help page, not so much a traditional help page but more of a post a question and hope someone out there has the answer you are looking for. So after several pages of questions and answers, there it was, like a shining light sent down from the heaven’s the answer to my question, the RSS feed link is a little orange button(of coarse how obvious!?), there’s me looking for a text link saying RSS feed.
So I hit the button found the URL and Bob’s your uncle I now have my photo’s on my blog, all I need to do now is figure out how the rest of this blog thing works, so many options so little time.

Thanks to the idiot who got me into this, I had such a great time.
