Vacation time is at an end, and the big freeze here in Britain is over - i.e. 3 cm of snow that forced people to take a day off due to ridiculous driving conditions. I say ridiculous, of course, with at least a slight hint of derision - the degree of which depends solely on to whom I speak. Yes, snow days are welcome, but for what normally represents a day to appreciate nature's beauty, having it replaced by a pathetic display of a culture - only a few more degrees south - completely unprepared for the slightest weather change. Variety. That is the keyword. If you don't get beauty, you at least get humour.
Photos from Yule 2009 have been sorted through at any rate. They should be up shortly. Nothing like the combination of a new camera and the rare perfect white yule. I loved it – see photos above – but it seemed few people shared my apprecition. It might have something to do with me sleeping past that vital part of the day where shoveling is required. I am, however, counting on the effects of a quickly pasted link to my snow shots to ameliorate my biased appreciation.
As for my camera. Yes, I finally have got a DSLR, and it will asymptotically consume at least 12/7ths of the space of my old one – counting only megapixels and not raw file usage. But while I am working on my 4th year project I will try to simply catch up on my backlog of photos first.
Had yule held up to our old gaming standards, there would be no photos up yet though. Fortunately, my Norway computer resembles the radio equivalent of something running entirely on tubes and hamster electricity. This was partially to blame for our short LAN party’s inability to produce the extreme amount of gaming we used to crave, but rather the necessary page of javascript and php to get the galleries up and running. After the stress test they recieved a few weeks ago, they seem to have no problems.
