(Actually, it still works - but the LCD display is broken, so I can't frame shots or navigate the menus, change the settings. Frustrating!)<BR/><BR/>Managing photos is also a problem. My old laptop is terribly, terribly slow, and is pretty much out of usable disk space. Its replacement isn't a lot better, and doesn't have much (working!!) software on it: no Media Player, no PhotoShop. (I shouldn't complain: it was a freebie from a former employer.) I really need to get myself an offboard hard drive, but I keep failing to get around to it.<BR/><BR/>I had dozens of photo albums of China on the old Yahoo Photos - but they abruptly wound that up last year and transferred all the pics over to Flickr. Flickr is heavily blocked in China. I can't really be bothered to work out how it works - too fiddly, too different to the Yahoo Photos set-up I had become familiar with. Most annoying of all, the pics from the old site were automatically transferred, but all the sorting and labelling was deleted..... so, what I have waiting for me in my Flickr account is a morass of about 1,000 photographs hopelessly mixed up.<BR/><BR/>There are some photos on here of last year's Christmas Party at <B>Salud</B> (another Dishy Debs production), and also of the <B>2 Kolegas</B> music bar's 2nd Anniversary party last summer.Frooghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06738623732860210935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33211583.post-73729701423799244852008-04-22T19:06:00.000+00:002008-04-22T19:06:00.000+00:00Sounds like you're going to have FUN!Actually our ...Sounds like you're going to have FUN!<BR/><BR/>Actually our esteemed prime minister, Gordon Brown has gathered support for celebrating St. Georges day akin to St. Patricks minus the right wing racists & with ethnic minorities included.. to celebrate Britishness. <BR/><BR/>I've always found it rather odd how celebratory St. Patricks day is.. when various brands of christians have been at each others throats .. I know a simplification of a very complex situation & hopefully over now. <BR/><BR/>don't you ever post photos of these party nights? or even have them hidden away on the net somewhere?Medically Brunettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15649550554211362264noreply@blogger.com
