Brittany Ferries MV Cotentin

I posted this picture on Twitter, saying it was the Barfleur sailing from Poole to Cherbourg. I received a correction via Twitter from Brittanny Ferries - it is actually the MV Cotentin, which is described on the Brittanny Ferries website as follows
"Brittany Ferries' freight-only vessel Cotentin provides a significant increase in capacity on the Poole to Cherbourg service during the week when not operating her weekly direct service to Santander. The weekend service 'opens' up a bypass service to Santander, enabling transporters to avoid the weekend driving ban in France.
The freighter provides space for 120 articulated vehicles year-round in 2200 lane metres. Accommodation for freight drivers is in 120 two-berth, en-suite cabins. The ship was constructed at a cost of some €80m in Finland and underlines Brittany Ferries' long-term commitment to its freight business."

It was great to receive the correction from Brittanny Ferries, and also to receive a compliment on the photo I posted, which incidentally was taken from Poole Quay looking towards Sandbanks.

New website!

Finally got my new website up and running. A light nighter and fresher hopefully, and with more specific and relevant content.
And hopefully easier to navigate!
Thanks to Ben Walsh at Ideal gallery for helping me out when I was really grumpy on a Bank Holiday morning!

Lots more new things to come on the website in the very near future.........

How long would an Iphone last with me????

Not long..

Ooops

And then I dropped it.

I managed three hours before I dropped it. Luckily on carpet. And no signs of damage.

Like I said, Blackberry's are tough cokies, and need to be to survive me.....

Orange

And next day sure enough my sparkly new Torch arrived. Only had mine for a month, so apart from the daamge I had done to it in great condition.

And set up just how I liked it.

Torch

Funny - I was having problems with the new Blackberry, some internet stuff was so slow it was almost useless.

So I phoned those nice people at Orange Business, and having tried to change a few things, they offered to swap my phone, next day and all that.

Well impressed.

Iphone

The reason I don't have an Iphone, much as I would love one, is that I would break it. That simple.

The Blackberry Torch is a great piece of kit, but I dropped and physically damaged it.

And that was on day one!

Twitter

Twitter is a very immediate tool, especially on the Blackberry. I expect that on the Iphone blogging apps are numerous, but not so for the Blackberry, unless anyone can tell me otherwise?

If only I had got up a few minutes earlier.

And got myself sorted a lot quicker!!

Nothing worse than driving into a lovely sunrise but not having the time to photograph it!

Everything appearing as it should do now - all fine here by the looks of it.

Phew

Blackberry

Rather a lot indeed!!

Thinking about it 2000 previews or thumbnails of copied files is quite a lot for a phone to deal with.

And with all the music as well!!

seems to be sorting itself out finally.

Ok i've gone for it. Should be as easy as copying files from one card to the other.

One hour remaining......

I know it should be easy, but I just have this nagging doubt....

Blackberry

So I have a cool 9800 Torch. And I have just bought a nice big memory card. So why does the thought of swapping memory cards over terrify me???

5 a day

The last of my five a day web posts! Not much more to say I am afraid.....

Email full

Just emailed a clieant some images from a commercial job, to find his email inbox is full! Definitely a modern day problem.

Not a good idea to follow it up with another email saying that his email inbox is ful either.......

Google

Google analytics very unpredicatable at the moment - no views one day, 10 the next??

Can anyone explain?

Busy

After a very busy time post Christmas hoping to get some quality time in this weekend taking photos - weather permitting of course.

Some more snow in Dorset would be nice.
