Sometimes things appear out of nowhere Dept

AKA pianos in the bushes (as we, russians, are saying).

Last week my sister, who’s very good at income tax, called me and said that some of her clients were looking for a decent guy to help them with their web sites. I happened to be the appointed one.

Nice to know that sometimes good things tend to happen. Although the sites “there” are written for ColdFusion platform I don’t anticipate a huge effort to pay for reengineering them for Linux/PHP/mySQL…

Time will tell 🙂

Back!

Back from the New Year celebration. The A95 is great, I’m already thinking of selling my Fuji S2 Pro because I can’t get same results as fast as I do from the pocket camera… Sometimes you just have to whip the camera and take a picture… with A95 it takes 5 – 10 seconds to power up camera plus the shutter lag. With S2 Pro it takes around 2 seconds to power up and take the picture, only the picture would be either over exposed or something else or I don’t know what… Thinking of trying Canon 20D for that matter, maybe Canon, after all, IS BETTER then the Nikon? 🙂

Programmers

Sometimes some people can set me off, even though I am very patient and calm person. First they didn’t like the project. Then they didn’t like the terms. Then they didn’t like the payment amount. Then they didn’t like the payment time frame.

Had to give in to the last resort – mentioning that they are not the only developers around. Worked like a charm.

My girlfriend finally gave me my 3-year-aniversary gift, the Canon A95. It’s small, cute and 5 megapixels. It’s so convenient, I plan to take it everywhere now… If only it was a little faster, the shutter lag is humongous… But then again – it produces images with great quality, so if there’s a need to show a designer how an establishment looks like – there’s nothing better then this. And it’s not as heavy as my other camera (Fujifilm S2 Pro, weights around 2 lbs.), so it’s really a pocket wonder.
