I used it on the mac, but it just wasn't compatible enough for me. I think I'll just stick to Firefox for now.

Haven't heard from you for a while. How's the photo business going? Should take off now that you can actually see what you're photographing

Hey Nick, thanks for the interest! I've been around, just been more of a lurker of late more than anything. Working nights is really taking it out of me.

hmmm.....photo business....I picked up my business cards last week.....and that's about it.

At the moment for me it's a bit of a case of be careful what you wish for... I said I'd find some casual jobs, work my arse off, save up some money, blah blah blah. Now with my 2 jobs I'm working heaps of hours, loooong days (like 13 hrs a day) and weekends so I haven't really had a chance to do anything. I can't even remember the last time i picked up one of my cameras.

But I can't wait now I've got contacts because yes, I'll be able to see what I'm doing a whole lot better! I'm thinking of going to knockrow castle (like a smaller version of currumbin, but closer to me) end of next week so I can show my cameras some love.

Doesn't sound appealing. Mind you, that's coming from someone who's never worked more than an average of 25 hrs a week. I'm sure that your hard work will come to fruition soon. Just keep faith that your avatar rings true

That 5D's got to be feeling neglected. I think Knockrow is a must ... if you can find the energy. Maybe another one of those trips to the beach.
