Octagon Technology

WordPress Conference

I am in Scotland for the UK WordPress conference (details here on at Octagon Technology) – the programme starts at 9am and as we are going to use the Park and Ride into Edinburgh it is an early start to the day.

There will of course be an opportunity for some walking and photography whilst we are here.

Today’s Photo

Today’s photo is actually a photo of someone else’s photo!

I have been on a site visit today with one of the server engineers Octagon uses and during the coffee break he showed me some photos from his recent holiday to Las Vegas.

I could not resist sharing this.

I used Camera+ to get the image off his monitor – which gave a dark, high contrast result and then I used the Clarify function in Camera+ the give a useable image. I often use this process, when at work, when recording site data – it gives a result for screen photos.

Server Repairs

Today I was working in a cupboard, (that is where the client keeps their server), repairing a disk array. Normally this is a couple of hours work, if you include the necessary backups, of course when you are working in a cupboard things never work out well. We eventually came up with a solution but it took nearly all day. So I have used my camera dozens of times today but for photographing screen shots, backs of servers, fronts of server, serial numbers, SATA drives etc etc.
