Quick theres a fire!

Yesterday afternoon I received a call at working stating that I had to get home quickly as our house was on fire and that the fire brigade and police were waiting to speak to me.

So I quickly dashed home with all thoughts in my mind mainly

• What did I leave switched? (The computers)
• Did I let the cats out?
• I hope the fire is not in the computer room as I need the CD Duplicator / Printing this weekend.
• My smart invites stock and CD's.

By the time I got home I was quite worried to what state the house would be in, and was rather relieved to enter the street and not see the fire brigade still putting out a fire.

It turns out some kids, put our green recycle bin near the back gate and set light to it, which then set the garage door on fire and started burning the stuff behind the door. Luckily there is not much in that garage apart from junk.

If only the message I was given earlier whilst at work was `the garage is one fire' I wouldn't have been so worried.

Three posts in one day....

Cheers ArticFox, just downloaded Picasa2 and it allows you to post photos direct to your blog, and type the blog entry!

I had better get back to my coding, it's now officially 9 days until the launch of http://www.smart-invites.co.uk at the National Wedding Show @ the Birmingham NEC Stand A12 - for anyone wishing to pop along.

However 9 days to go and still lots to complete, we have just hired two designers to help produce our leaflets and posters and an extra coder to help code the billing system, I always find a tight deadline is always good to get you working hard, but maybe this deadline is too tight.

Things to do:

Print / Duplicate (in House) 1500 Demo CD's
Print 2,000 Ipod touch competition forms
Print posters & 5,000 Leaflets
Upload our brand new website and be-spoke user area - with some very very cool AJAX controls & Features.

Plus much more...

Picasa testing

ArticFox has just informed me that I have a Google Picasa account which is associated with my blog, so I've just headed over there to check it out at first.

I've uploaded a few photos but can't seem to work out how to make it add to my blog from the Picaso site :(

I did however manage to get a link to a photo I've uploaded and here it is.

Next up is to download the Picasa software to see if that can post a new image uploaded directly to blogger.

My new camera and flickr

I got a new camera a couple of days ago, a Ricoh Caplio 6 and I have to say I'm pretty impressed with the quality of the photos.

I've also just signed upto Flickr (Finally), and as you can tell I'm testing out it's features...
