AND ANOTHER THING

Why did Olympus name a digital mirrorless system the same as a beloved 35mm system if not to confuse and annoy? I have 2 OM 1 bodies (plus OM-2/10 etc). They're brill.

I feel pangs of guilt about selling my M6 during lockdown (self employed, no work etc) and always wanted another. Why am I seeing bodies for 4-5 grand now???

On one side of our back garden the divide is old stone (with not great cementy stuff) from the end/service lane, towards the house - about 3/4 of the way. The last few meters is flimsy wood panelling up to where it fixes to the house.

The stone is tiered. About 1.8m at it's tallest by the service lane. Then 1m high in the middle. Then the wood is 1m. It's fixed onto a batten which is somehow attached to the house through render.

I'd like to get more matching-ish stone and build it all to 1.8m, right up to the house. What should I consider before doing more than just loosely thinking about it from time to time?

wtf!!

It pours onto next doors roof.

Worst morning of my life

I get it, but I've worked with bigger and they've been far less finicky.

always a general feeling of a lack of trust and additional pressure that I had to prove myself. Not a good starting point for a creative relationship.

This is my main concern. But also bills gonna bill.

Got a project I'm verging on signing which every bone in my body is telling me to swerve. Client is a small agency, end client is big business (400 million), project is relatively small - 12k or so. I've shown references, written treatments, explained tech, worked in this field, end client still apparently unsure 4 video calls in. Agency guy wants another call today - from behind the departure gate at an airport. Just go on holiday FFS! Feel if anything the agency wobbling is causing end client uncertainty.

jeeeeeeez...

Everyone should be livid and I am the king of the sinks.

Now livid.

You should be.

Silestone here. Did get the built in integrated sink. Highly happy (will be happier when we add a matching island for more storage so everything isn't completely crammed into the drawers/cupboards we have - meaning there's even less of an excuse to have anything at all on the surface).

Thanks. Sounds about right. Mine currently feels like overusing a track pump. It goes in but with resistance and then just slides back out. Will give that a whirl.

This is not a quick one and involves meatballs in an oven but the result is the best I've made.

But it could easily be simplified.

Anyone ever replaced the micro sd card reader on a Switch? It's a push to eject one I think but it was brought to me showing an error saying the card had been ejected blah. I took it out, cleaned and checked card and it seemed ok but putting it back in and it felt sticky and didn't click into place. It sort of oozed back out. It still showed as reading but soon disconnected again. I've looked online and seems relatively straightforward - ifixit sell a kit for example. But just clarifying if that includes the push to eject mechanism or if the bit that actually reads the card is separate?

^ I've decided to hang up my PUBG boots once I hit 8760 hours. I'm currently around 5000 so a little way off but that seems like a good number.

Putting my fingers in my ears. Defanecdotally dropbox.

Have done all sorts of testing with dropbox over the years with high volumes of data on different connections from different hardware and have come to the conclusion it's fucking dogshit and to be avoided at all costs if you actually want anything to happen quickly or easily.

Thanks both

Oooh useful thread - thanks @c.h.e.

Are there any kind of independent system agnostic advisors who could look at my property and give me a truthful take on heating?

What would that be called?

Our gas boiler is probably in the last 12-18 months of decent use. It's very old and cheap (will be at least 10 years old) so suspect a modern fancy one is the solution but want to make sure I'm not overlooking something else. It's a Victorian terrace with side return but quite small exterior at the back, so not sure on amount of space for something like an air pump etc.

Plus my understanding is those are only really worth it if your house is insulated to fuck which ours very much isn't.

We have old crap windows, old crap rads, condensation in some corners. Those things are all in various stages of being addressed but be good to have someone look and tell us without having an incentive to get a commission from Big Boiler or Big Pump.

How are we all looking?

Had a few small edits come in over February which has helped and am starting to get closer to confirming bookings on some decent shoots for April and beyond, but it's been a hairy 3 months (and the next 3 weeks might still be a struggling financially - have basically relied on savings and selling gold etc since end of November).

Had a largely brilliant 2023 with a good forecast for Dec/Jan but then lost about £30k worth of work in those two months (which took the shine off of spending that much on kit in the months leading up to it). I took the time to re-do website, instagram etc and get my cold-email fingers working along with tons of research on outreach. I feel if I passed the data to someone useful they'd get some work from it but sales has never been my forte. It's resulted in a few meetings but in the end it's existing clients that are back and hopefully about to become bookings (thankfully not the ones that flaked over Dec/Jan).
