Giles Shaxted

Ok So I am off to the Bahamas for another week .. and I thought I would pre download some shows to watch while I am there.
I have a few movies .. but I think I want to watch some TV. I am wondering if I should get into LOST from ABC or maybe find some cool discovery channel shows.

I am up to date on 24 so thats a no go .. I need to get a new laptop so I can do some usefull things while away like work on my websites (www.giles.shaxted.co.uk) work in progress and a mirror of this site getting ready to move shaxted.co.uk to a new server)

I think I will start off with some Las Vegas which I have not seen very much of at all and I may try and get a whole season of Boston Legal which I may have seen 5 episodes of. That may keep me going .. but if anyone has any suggestions for any other shows I may not have thought of please go ahead and leave a comment to let me know about it.

A fair time ago in a galaxy pretty similar to our own, infact on a planet named Earth funnily enough .. I signed up for twitter.com. Twitter is a social status site .. maybe i should have read their .. what is twtitter page …

It’s actually kind fun .. and I only have one friend on it right now .. thanks Eric. I can see it being entertaining if more people i know use it and I have them added .. knwoing what people are doing and how they are .. at any given moment.

Now I must admit .. I haven’t actually had it working properly yet .. and I am not sure why .. however .. I know I am close !
You see Twitter can be updated by either the web interface at twitter.com, phone, IM or a desktop widget of your choice .. Interesting you say. Well yes, originally I gave up as twitter didnt work with Cayman cell phones .. it may just have been me getting things wrong in retrospect .. however .. I saw a blog about it on Erics site so went back to try again on a whim .. well now they had IM .. and Phone .. and there were some desktop widgets around the place .. cool !
This time I got the phone working .. or at least I got it authenticated .. I had seen one udate made by me using pone text .. but don’t know how .. and now even though authenticated again, I can’t get updates sent to my phone .. nor can i update by sending and SMS .. IM .. I can send update from .. but have never recieved an update on it .. I today find out that IM is down .. so that may have been where my problem was.
Desktop widget working fine .. but i don’t like it ..

Anyways .. if you want some fun .. come and procrastinate on twitter.com ! http://twitter.com/caymaniac

These are some of the photos I took today that I may possibly enter into the Cayfest competition along with some of my underwater Photos.
I will also take some more as there are a few categories I would like to enter: Landscape, Portrait, Animals, Underwater, Closeups and Lifestyles. I am not into the Digital manipulation so I will not enter that .. unless i change my mind !!
Anyway .. I will go through and enter some and hopefully I will win a prize, which is normally cash .. so yippee .. I think I will probably enter myself in the adult amateur category, its not like i make money from photography so thats legit. Although I don’t know who here that is professional would bother entering it .. I guess I will see !
