I hate the last day of any vacation. I did have one day working last week. But tomorrow I return to full time working again. I have a few projects held over from last year that I’m looking forward to getting in to. Late last year I discovered the advantages of using my colleagues in India to help me with some of our work and I want to explore that some more. I’m sure it will seem a long time ago since I was swimming in my mum and dad’s swimming pool at Christmas in a few days.

Quickcam Pro 9000
You may have noticed the nice sharp photos in the new webcam image lately. They are coming from the new 2 megapixel Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000. Another gift from Christmas. I was amazed when I sparked it up on Christmas morning and took a snap of my family opening their presents. It takes nice sharp and clear photos. I haven’t quite worked out how to adjust the white balance settings just yet. Now that I having a webcam that works without failure on my Mac I can run the webcam more often.

Underwater Adventures
I’m very excited about my Christmas present. The Lumix underwater camera takes brilliant photos! I can’t wait to take it on the next trip down to the beaches. Now I won’t be so silly with carry my SLR out in to the surf. Posted below are some shots taken with the camera in my parents backyard swimming pool. It also takes very nice “out of water” photos.
I often take for granted living right in the middle of the city. last night as the rain came down I was watching the fireworks from the front bedroom window. And then I checked over the Yarra River and I could see the fireworks going off from the top of the Eureka Tower. In fact I only had to move my computer chair slightly to the right to watch the show. How lazy is that!
