Photos needs to be rearranged to a new format/structure so I can easily find them and it wouldn’t clog up my system when the Lightroom catalog gets bigger. 30000 photos! So it would be in this format:

> Year (eg: 2009)
>> Month (eg: 01 January)
>>> Date-Event Name (eg: 090101 NYE)
>>> LR monthly catalog (eg: 01 January.lrcat)

Problem is, photos are distributed in 3 portable hdds and aren’t formatted in the yymmdd-eventname format. So I’m getting to that but it seems that I might have messed up the dates because windows couldn’t recognise the 30D’s RAW files. Ugh.

Current LR catalog also needs to be dissected into different months. I used to separate the catalogs to work and personal. I think it’s better for me to combine them together, and group by month. Plus, work is play.

Next to move them to the NAS. Not really a problem, but time consuming.

Then duplicate to desktop for editing. I’ll be using the desktop exclusively for editing because it’s faster. Hopefully I’m able to upgrade it by this month when the new monitor comes in. Phenom X4!

WebWork

Install backup software. Install backup software. Install backup software. Install backup software. Install backup software.

Back up to NAS.

The XPS would most likely be exclusively be used for web projects, simply because I like using that keyboard for typing. Occasionally I’ll use the laptop for photowork if I’m location. Have to figure out a workflow for that. Sigh.

Life

Got this all wrong. Don’t pass go, don’t collect $200. Time to buy properties and set a foothold into it.

Money sucked completely. This month’s spending is off the roof. New lens, new monitor, and possibly upgrades for the desktop. Anyone interested in buying the lenses?

Rejected a job so I could meet up with friends tomorrow. Not that the job doesn’t pay good, but I miss my friends. That pays better.

I’d like to go on a holiday BADLY. Anywhere would do. Even if it’s just Genting. Don’t need too many people. One on one would do.

“Is This The End” by Zee Avi

Is this the end?
Why does it feel
like we’d only just begun?
I thought we were done.

I think I’ll hang on
if you still want me,
but if you don’t
I guess I’ll move on.

But if you need me,
close your eyes and dream.
I’ll give you back your key.
Will you be happy?

Said we’ll leave it alone,
but I’ll be here long.
And when I’m gone
I guess then we’ll know.

*Interlude*

I think I’ll hang on
if you still want me,
but if you don’t
I guess I’ll move on.

I guess I’ll move on,
I guess I’ll move on.

It’s such a perfect day.

The one where we were just side by side, leaning on the sofa, looking at the stage, holding hands, her head on my shoulder.

Ran all kinds of logical interpretations to explain to myself it could not be just that one answer.

I hope I’m not wrong.

Anyways, it’s been 3 4 years and I guess it’s time for me to let this big boy go.

I bought it from Memory Lane for RM555 in 2004. Offer me a price if you’re interested, however not less than RM300. If there are offers, I’ll send it for dry cleaning *which costs a bomb* and it’s on me.

Teddy is still in good condition, if not a little dusty only.

Drop me a comment if you’re interested.

If you’re wondering how big it is, please refer to this photograph. There’s a RM10 note on it’s tummy for size reference. Teddy is as tall as me, only fatter.

Looks like I got what I wanted, but with consequences attached. Talking about losing a friend in the process.

Oh well, get on with life would you, Aaron?
