New camera, enroute

Last night I was aching to spend some of the hard earned money which I have been working for. This resulted in a trip to dabs.com in search of a camera.

Working 9 to 5

Today marks the first day of my new job (for 10 weeks anyway), some will be thinking that Friday is a strange day to start working and indeed it is. I assume that I was asked to start today because it was the first of the month.

The project is as mentioned before about tagging photos with smells, something that has had little practical research done on it. The main idea is to use RFID tagged smell cubes to allow users to flag photos as being connected with any one or more smells. The tag (and smell cube) is waved across the RFID reader and this is used to tag the photos. The reverse is done to search through photos with the smell cube being used to identify the smells to isolate and the reader picking up the ID of the smells.

Another 7.5

So it's been a while again since my last post, nothing has been happening in my life as of recent, other than working in the pub, drinking, playing dominos and cards.

Downtime and nearly worktime

My server has been playing up for some time and I have just gotten around to fixing it, restarting the virtual machine a few times seems to have fixed whatever problems I had.
