Retrospec

Exolon

Live Search field to fast search in KeyManager database

Starting off the freeware theme then, I just opened up Cool Osx Apps to find Time-Tracker. It's, well you guessed it, an application for time management on projects and i'm assuming it can come in handy in the office, at home  and possibly most handy if you're a freelance designer type.

Time-Tracker is a mac osx application which is under the Google website there - other information on the application is available on links to i use this and versiontracker.

Here goes, I think I'm going to start my regular blog - after 3 attempted stop and starts that is :)
There's hopefully going to be more general posts but mostly I'll be posting on the topics of design, typography, photography, apple mac, osx and mac freeware (it's a past time :)) and really anyhing that grabs my attention enough to share with you guys and gals.

End.

Yeah, like i think i got it. Sparked off by my weekend in Edinburgh, my happy snapping trip around as much of Edinburgh i could cover on foot over 3 days and taking just over 240 shots of the place, and so seen as i was still having no luck with jobs and to get myself outta the house i thought lets go for a walk around my home town area and take my camera and lets see what comes of it. Low and behold i create a flickr account - here i am and then create my own flash gallery to put up on my website (sort of) - my flash gallery - which is a matter of fact updated with my latest outing yesterday as is my flickr but i restrict myself - only 12 select photos on there of latest jaunt.

So I went for an interview today yay! that's live 5 already :p Seems like a good place with good people - i't's real weird that i try NOT to get too enthusiastic about getting the job in order to NOT be too dissapointed if i don't get it, but at the same time you have to be enthusiastic i the interview as you actually WANT to get the job - sheesh!

So, it was over in newcastle and it would be a huge opportunity to move out of my parents on my own at last :D plus it has a supermaret handy right in amonst the housing estate - nice places to go for walks and all, PLUS it's shift work - days and nights like means days off yeah!

Just thought i'd share some news :)
