Random rantings: Glasses update
http://davidbailie.blogspot.com/2008/10/glasses-update.html
Thursday, October 16, 2008. So, I went to order said glasses today. As I was being measured for the new top-of-the-line-you-really-must-have-these lenses, the woman behind the counter was tallying up my bill. That's 1158 in total, she said. Umm, I said, I was told 849 yesterday. Oh, that's without the frames at 309 was the reply. I asked the woman doing the measuring to stop as there's no way that either my wife would approve 1150 for glasses, or that I would pay 1150 for glasses. Follow me on Twitter.

Random rantings: Work shmirk...
http://davidbailie.blogspot.com/2008/12/work-shmirk.html
Wednesday, December 17, 2008. Well, joining the ranks of the unemployed was not that bad. I'd rather not be 'between positions' but oh well. Shit happens right? I've been doing some freelance work for a new client. It's been fun but being a freelance Mac consultant will never make one fat and happy. Happy maybe but there's not enough work with the few clients I have to keep my fat. Ok, certainly as fat as I am but no more than that. What else is new? Not much really so I'll see you later.

Random rantings: General stuff for today
http://davidbailie.blogspot.com/2008/10/general-stuff-for-today.html
Monday, October 20, 2008. General stuff for today. My bad back is back - with a vengeance. It got worse again on Friday, this time only my right side, and continued on until on Sunday afternoon I was walking with a limp (limp what you might ask? And my right leg was going numb. Got no sleep Sunday night, lots of drugs and came to work late. I'm trying to get in to see someone, massage, chiropractor, anyone to no avail. I'm seeing my Doctor this afternoon though. So we'll see what happens. My favourite si...

Random rantings: End of office saga
http://davidbailie.blogspot.com/2009/02/end-of-office-saga.html
Monday, February 02, 2009. End of office saga. So, it's finally done. After almost three years elapsed time, thousands of dollars, hours and hours of work and even more hours of planning, it's finished. It looks great. I'm all moved in, working from there right now, it's warm, but not too warm (thanks to the three Mac's) and is nice and quiet (apart from the aforementioned Mac's). Back to tech stuff.

Random rantings: My own business
http://davidbailie.blogspot.com/2009/05/my-own-business.html
Tuesday, May 26, 2009. Is all I have to say. I don't know if it's me or the economy but the business has not taken off at all. It's as slow as molasses in the winter. So I'm back to trying to find a real job. I'm still trying to do my own thing but I have lots of time to find real employment. I had a birthday a little while ago too. Ho hum. Started using Twitter, get me here. That's all for now. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Follow me on Twitter. Some Mac stuff I like. Some things I like.

Random rantings: Glasses
http://davidbailie.blogspot.com/2008/10/glasses.html
Wednesday, October 15, 2008. Went for an eye test today. I did this for a number of reasons. Firstly, my currently glasses are getting scratched, or are already scratched to be more precise. Secondly, I've noticed that my vision is getting worse, particularly without glasses. And finally, due to my leaving this company, I want to make the most of my benefits before I leave. After the test, I took a look for new glasses, and found some. I have a wide head (must be to contain all the brains? Glasses who's ...

Random rantings: Ongoing office build saga
http://davidbailie.blogspot.com/2009/01/ongoing-office-build-saga.html
Sunday, January 25, 2009. Ongoing office build saga. Firstly, apologies. I'm sure no one is interested in this, but this is a blog after all, so I just write crap in here that I'm working on. So we decided back on tile. I did some research on installing a tile floor and while it didn't sound that difficult, it made me realise just how final putting tile down is. If you mess up one tile or one cracks, you just can't get it up again. So we decided to go with hardwood instead. Follow me on Twitter.

Random rantings: So...
http://davidbailie.blogspot.com/2009/01/so.html
Tuesday, January 13, 2009. My Father-in-law went home the other day. . The office is looking good. Many thanks to him for helping. We have the drywall up and one coat of 'mud' on. I've had a drywaller come in and finish it off, so as of today, the subfloor is done, the wiring is all done, the window is in, the door is in and it's ready for paint, slate floor and desks. Then we can move in! I'd like a logo for my freelance thing. Thinking of a caricature. I'd have to have one made though as I have...

Random rantings: Post-op
http://davidbailie.blogspot.com/2008/11/post-op.html
Sunday, November 16, 2008. Well, I had some guy-surgery the other day. 90 minutes of surgery, 3 hours of post-op recovery, a lifetime of getting used to the difference. Not comfortable telling the whole world what I had done, but the recovery is painful and uncomfortable. Fine if I'm hanging around home in a robe, but when I have to wear clothes, umm, not so much. Anyway, as the Urologist said, hurts for a while, but not forever, right? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Follow me on Twitter.

Random rantings: RAW

Thursday, October 16, 2008. So, people 'in the know' have told me that once I started taking digital pictures in the RAW format, that I would love it. Last weekend I decided to give it a try and yes, they were right, I loved the results. To my Mac.com gallery containing the RAW images. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Follow me on Twitter.
