A twitter bomb is when you use exactly the maximum 140 characters allocated to each twitter unitentionally.

I know I’m a geek. But I thought it was cool.

Thank you Optus for having free wi-fi in Federation Square. I have thirty minutes to kill before going to my gig tonight.

Thanks Julian for telling me about this the other week.

My elf name is Caranthir Celebrindal

My hobbit name is Marroc Bumbleroot

I feel better now I know this.

What’s yours?

Although probably not nearly as helpful as Mikes tips, I will impart some of the wisdom that helps me with my photography.

Mike asked recently (the email came through about 20 seconds ago) how I organise my photos seeing as I have over 10,000 of them within Lightroom. He also asked about backing up.

As he suggested, I use folders. My photos are all stored on the F: drive of my computer (F of course being the first letter of Fotos) and are contained within the Originals folder. This is automatically done on import as well as the file being renamed to RXA_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS(-sequence within that second if more than one is taken).CR2

Within this folder is a hierarchicaldate structure. So a photo taken last night at 5.35pm would be stored like such:

F:\Original\2007\11\07\RXA_20071107_173523.CR2

I use Lightroom collections to separate my shoots into um … shoots as can be seen in the picture below. This allows me to scroll through the library to find the image I want quickly.

As for backing up … a crap load of DVD’s my friend.

Hope this tip was a good start and I can impart more later.

A big thank you goes to the houses on the following streets for their unsecured wireless access points that I hopped on board at some point today.

Maidstone Street, Ringwood East and Ringwood-Warrandyte Road, Warrandyte South.

As I type this I am on the side of the road, killing time online thanks to the above mentioned second unsecured wireless access point. I just looked up into the eyes of a cow. Yes a real cow.

My drums are all set up at tonights location (and the band isn’t even supposed to arrive for an hour) so I thought I’d touch base with you guys.

My tomorrow just got a little worse. As well as playing two separate concerts in three different uniforms, any downtime I had during the day is now being taken up with photography duties for the regiment.
