Doughnut Day

Today is the last Friday of the month, so that means Doughnut Day! Every Doughnut Day, all of the company gets together in the buildings attriums for free doughnuts & coffee. The idea is simple. It’s to get people together and talking, so you can mingle and met people who you might not otherwise talk to. Plus you get free cakes & coffee!

On a photography note. Yes, photography, I managed to add some new images to the following sections on my website.

Coasters – Flowers, Birds of PreyMousematsRulersMugs

I still have more mugs images to add, and it does yet show in finished mug image as I havent photographed them yet, but they should be on here on Saturday.

I.T, Dont you just love it!

I think 2 of the most annoying IT problems you can have are, Printing issues, and Internet/Emailing issues.

Well last night I had the latter!

After having months of trouble free email and internet issues, last night they hit in anger.

Its always the way, just when you really need or want to do something Murphy reminds you of his law!

I had a problem that any email I tried to send from this domain, LeoPhot****hy, was instantly being blocked.  I had also recent heard that some people had found my emails being marked as incoming spam. Please make sure my domain (whole domain, including dot com) is in your SAFE list so my mails dont end up in the bin.

Now, I know a bit about IT, having taught it, and been working in it for 10 years, but do you think I could get the mail to go! After 40 frustrating minutes, really wanting to send a mail, I had to resort to using the web client instead. 

I think I now have the solution and will test it again tonight, so hopefully I can send mails again.  But please remember the SAFE senders list.

So whats next.  Well I am finalising some craft items in preparation for the next Alton Craft fair on the 8th July.  I have lots of new photos, and will be posting them on the website in the next few days.

The weather outlook for the weekend is good, so who knows, more photos perhaps?

Just for Boo!

Ok, so i’ve been a bit lax in my blog entries over the last few days. Well what can I say, i’ve been distracted with other things going on.

I also had HD installed, wow, it is quite impressive. The picture is crisper and you can see so much detail in things. Yesterday, whilst watching the tennis (no I dont follow it all) I noticed, whilst comparing normal BBC with BBC HD, that instead of just seeing a grey shade where the net is, you can actually see the crosses on the net itself! The quality of the picture is incredible!

I am not a keen football fan, nor tennis fan but I do like to support England & Britain in some, not all sports events. EG, I will follow Henman & Murray in the tennis, poor Rusedski, England in the football and Rugby, and of course F1. I don’t like cricket so don’t tend to watch that. I just think that is nice to show some support for your country and be a little patriotic. Hence the flags!

Right, photography!….  I remember that. Maybe someday soon I may get to talk about that or even post some new photos!  I took a couple at the weekend, again in the garden of some bees.  If they look any good I will post some here.  I also must try to go in search of butterflies again, or maybe go to a local nature reserve over the weekend, looking for dragonflies.  As yet though, the only plan for the weekend is the football!
