I have always admired the works of professional and good amateur photographers. I have a colleague who aspires to being good, drives his family nuts when he wants to take a photo, the sheer time required to get it good is mind boggling. You can't just walk up and snappy (my level of skill and interest).
I once saw a giant banyan tree with it's roots exposed on the banks of the Mekong river, it would have made a stunning photo. we were on a boat going up the river, snappy was pathetic!

That is a shame, I hate missing a good shot. It's funny once you start shooting everything you look at you look at as though through a lens and you think what would be the best way to shoot it.

Nice find.

I think Murphy got into your web page:
Please back up you old database before installing this new version. I have made some monor alterations to the database but any time the database is modified there is always a chance that Murphy can sneak up on you.<
It's the OCD in me.

Yeah I noticed that and a few other typos the other day but I'm working on a version with some user requested features and will have to edit that page and others so figured I'd do it all at once.
Good eye though and thanks for the heads up!
I have OCD and Alzheimer's, stuff like that bugs the hell out of me but I forget what it is that bugs me?

Hi All,
I bought a new Lumia 520 few days back for my cousin . But i am facing a lot of problems with that phone. Just wanted to know anyone has the same problems .
The problems are ,
1. My signal strength is very low. I am using a top data provider in India( Aircel which is the no 1 in my location , Chennai , Tamil nadu). When i use my aircel sim in my Android phone signal strength is full and i am able to use high speed data in that.
2. When ever i am trying to connect to my store through my Lumia, its always says "Can't connect".
3. When i try installing the .xap files (for eg :- whatsapp.xap) its not allowing me to install . It shows There's a problem with this company app contact your company's support .
4. I have around 2000 songs in my 16 GB memory card , but nothing is showing in the music player .
5. Is there any good video player for WP 8.1 like MX Player for android?
6. It heats a lot soon.
I will update the remaining issues later.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks And Regards

I have used 520 for a few months. Never had any trouble. Absolutely brilliant VFM phone. Must be a faulty set. Since it's a new phone, I would suggest taking it to the service centre.
Warm Regards,

I have solved Problem no 1 & 2 myself.
The issue was , i bought my SIM from a location called Trichy,Tamilnadu. But now i am in Chennai,Tamilnadu. The problem is even those cities are in same state , the providers treat it as roaming. So i wanted to enable the roam option in my network settings. After that i was able to use my high speed data.
Thank you.

Send it back to the store you bought it from and ask for a replacement.

About a month ago I was over a mates place, watching the footy and was well past three sheets to the wind.
I'm was told by my daughter I agreed to go on an open water fishing trip and handed over the AUD$160.00 on the spot.
Well I don't like fishing so have no elephanting idea what was going through my head.
So yesterday I was up at 03:00, on the road before 04:00 to pick up said mate and was at Terrigal just after 05:30. Turns out we didn't have to be there until 06:00 and kicked off about 06:30.
The mate couldn't find the Travelcalms for me before we left, though afterwards admitted they were in his bag but couldn't find then at the time.
So for the first hour and a bit we were only about 2km off the coast catching bait fish. The boat was jumping around all over the place and my guts were ironclad, all was good.
Then we head out further, the sea is calmer and I start throwing up so hard I'm pretty sure I had to poke my own a***hole back in with the end of one of the fishing rods.
So now some elephant comes out with a Travelcalm for me. Thanks for elephanting nothing.
So I spent the whole trip lying down and thankfully no more chundering. Think we got off the boat about 16:00.
I was told we were about 30km off shore at the furthest point. After getting off the boat I downed a large hot chips and three patato scallops with extra chicken salt. Nothing had tasted so good before and I still can't believe greasy sh*t is the best for crook guts.
Finally got home around 19:00 and in bed at 20:00. Up this morning and feel like I have run a marathon. If I had actually got around to the fishing and all the jigging required I probably wouldn't be able to type this post.

Doing daft things when pissed is par for the course!
If you look at the google street view link burn[^], you will see a small burn flowing under the road where the streetview camera is.
Me and a mate, came out the casino one night about 4.30am in the middle of winter and for whatever reasons decided to see how far we could get down the tunnel which ran under the houses. Now, I had been down the tunnels before as a kid, but with torches, and the tunnel goes in about 100m before turning left and running down the certain of the road (Osbourne) before appearing again briefly further on (you can see it a couple of times on the map appear and disappear).
On this occassion, we headed off, no torches, running into the darkness feet soaked, freezing cold. Next thing, "Thump & Splash" there was a pipe running across the tunnel and I ran into it head first and then went backwards into the water. Picking myself and the two of us in stitches laughing, carried on, we got past the corner, but by now it was impossible to see your fingers in front of your face. The bottle went and we headed back out. The thought of getting lost down there didn't appeal and think the sobering up may have started to kick in! We came out the tunnel, but rather than just call it quits, we headed the other way which is more open, and went to see how far west we could go. That was an epic adventure through barbed wire fences, folks gardens, more short tunnels and cross country in the North Burn [^](west on the map).
In all, I think we had spent about an hour in the burn. Still do not know what triggered off the desire to explore the burn....the demon drink! All the pubs/casinos were well closed by this time and we had managed to flag a taxi and head back to his for pizza and more booze.
After eventually seeing a mirror when got home, I had a massive lump and graze on my forehead where I had run into the pipe.
Needless to say the GF's weren't that impressed with our evening adventures. Maybe that's why they are both ex's now, they clearly just didn't appreciate the spirit of adventure!
I want to go back down the tunnels again someday, but next time will be fully armed with megawatt torches and wellies!

As Dave Auld says, when inebriated we all do ... um ... strange things.
Herself and I woke up one Xmas Eve and went downstairs to find the whole living room was filled with a Xmas tree. A very big Xmas tree. After a few cups of coffee we began to recall where it came from...we decided about 2AM to get a tree, so out we went armed with a Swiss Army knife (fortunately - or not - one of those with a wood saw built in) and we found one in someone's garden, so we sawed it down and brought it home, trying to be quiet as mice, but failing miserably.
Never did find out who we "borrowed" the tree from, but once I'd cut a few feet off the thing so it would stand up and bought a huge amount of decorations it looked very pretty...for a week or so.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

In my old hometown there was a guy owning a bit of forest outside of town, and it was "rumoured" that people went to his forest to get their Christmas trees from there.
He got quite tired of that so he started to go "hunting" during the weeks before Christmas. And whenever he met someone carrying a tree he just simply said, that'll be 200 crowns.
Which was a serious overprice in those times. But you don't discuss prices when you're caught red-handed by someone carrying a shotgun.
Needless to say, his forest was left alone in the years to come.
