Balloons!!
Sep 12th, 2007 by Jonathon Moore
Last weekend was the Llangollen balloon festival at the pavilion (I seem to be spending quite a lot of time there recently) It was quite a fun weekend with lots of balloons and festival type stuff going on, there was even some miniature balloons being flown inside the pavilion itself. I’ve put up a couple of pictures that i’ve taken with my phone but Andy was around for most of the weekend with his large amounts of expensive photo taking materials so I’ll hopefully be able to upload some extra cool pro looking photos sometime… although I’ll have to acquire them from him first.
I must admit that i’m not really in a bloggy sort of mood at the moment, I’ve not had a particularly good couple of weeks recently so I’m feeling generally a bit lethargic all round right now. A definite major cause of this is a recent server install that I have done for a client. The whole job was not too smooth due to the customer consistently interfering with the suppliers that had to be changed to suit him. Then He decided to switch broadband provider the day before implementation and finally his computer just would not connect to the network! arggg! SO… in order to keep his business running smoothly with as little system downtime as possible I worked late… very late… one day I did 18 hours in one stint! But it was all worth it in the end, or so I thought… I managed to get the job completed in only 46 hours of labour. A massive saving on the amount it could have taken and many of those were off site or out of office hours to limit disruption. I was well pleased. Until… This particular client is now refusing to pay for any more than 24 hours of labour, letting him get away with that would loose the company around £1100 that I’d earned for them. The client is discussing his bill with Matt in the other office as I type. I’ll let you know the result (it may involve changing all his passwords or even repo-ing his server)
So that’s just one of the reasons that I’m down right now, I’ll leave you with that one and not discuss the others right now(maybe not at all).
But any how, here’s the first of the balloon photos.

Well, that’s it for now. Laterz!
