I didn’t realize it would take so much effort trying to move six websites from one server to another. In the span of one week I have supervised two server database moves and several DNS refreshes due to misunderstandings and other technical anomalies.
Thank God the people involved are technically adept to remedy the situation quickly. When this is all done, we’ll all have to celebrate!
I swear, being a geek has its downsides. You tend to spend a lot for your hobbies. I recently caught the photography bug after buying the 350D I’ve been wanting since December.
After being able to save for it, I went ahead and bought several accessories such as a Velbon tripod, a Sumdex camera bag, and a Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II. The last item is a portrait lens known as the “nifty fifty” which allows you to take really great portraits at an affordable price as seen in this really cute portrait of my doggie.
I’ve totalled my expenses for this new cash black hole hobby and the opportunity costs were basically a trip to Australia or a couple of trips to Singapore, Hong Kong, or Malaysia. Gawd. What next? I’ve to stop myself.
The only way I can justify spending more on photography is if I turn it into a profession, thus making the hobby pay for itself. I’ve done this for my iBook, which has been paid off many months ago by writing.
I used to have bug collecting as a hobby. Argh. Talk about spending. What about you? How expensive or cheap are your hobbies?
It was a big toss up between watching Miss Universe or our beloved president’s SONA. But in the end, only one can prevail. Click on this link to see the battle of the week courtesy of GoogleFight!
Explored Intramuros last night with a friend. It was my first time to actually fool around with a DSLR so I went crazy with the settings. I’m learning, slowly!
I’ve found Darren’s Digital Photography School to be very useful for beginner and pro photographers who use dSLRs and point and shoot cameras.
