I found this theme today and thought it was much better than the default. It doesn’t look amazing in IE6, but if you’re still using IE6… … WHY? It’s a 10 year old browser with many many flaws. Move on people, move on. Vive le revolution!
Anyway, I figure this theme will do until I have time to make my own. I quite like it, it’s very customisable. The left just feels a bit cluttered to me. Still much better than the default though.
Also – Jaz Design – I’m going to be rebranding as Jaz Design

I’ve been on a flickr uploading spree. This is pretty much my year in pictures thus far (up until May at least). I’m thinking of having a flickr cul actually, there’s a lot of pictures on there which I don’t think represent my best. I’m also beginning to accept that I’m not on the ball at all for Project 365 this year!
I’ve been testing a lot of our sites in IE8 the past couple of days. Today I noticed that the little broken page icon that appears next to the address bar was missing from the IE8 welcome page. Now I found this to be curious as as far as I’m aware (I could be wrong here, let me know if so!) the only thing that prevents that from appearing is if you’re already running in IE7 emulation mode. I checked out their code with the new Developer Tools (virtually Firebug, but I’m not complaining). Lo and behold, the Welcome to IE8 page has the “emulate IE7″ meta tag!
I thought I’d check out Microsoft’s actual website… (you can view the full screenshot here)
Visit the website to see for yourself.
This boggles my mind! Standards for everyone eh?

I was having issues with my K2 customised theme, and tried a different free one but had too many issues with that as well, thus we’re on the yucky default until such a time as I can fix K2, or make my own 
It’ll happen folks!
Inspired by something someone said at work about photographing everything you eat I’ve decided to keep a food diary in this way (starting with a week and seeing how it goes). I feel that this will help me to realise just how much crap I’m eating, and make me think twice before having that second or third cookie.
We also likened it to what they do in the weightloss TV shows, where they take all the food a person has eaten in a week and dump it on a table. I imagine looking through my photographs is going to be something like that!
My CC blog for yesterday is up here: http://caloriecount.about.com/users/jaz_desig n/307162.html
I don’t know how successful it will be, but it can’t hurt. More awareness of what one is eating can only be a good thing. I know I tend to mindlessly eat, not enjoy my food and not realise how much I’ve actually eaten. Seeing is believing they say!

Just before Easter the Mister and I spent a week in Mallorca. It was beautiful, a fantastic chance to relax and take lots and lots of pictures and try the beautiful Mahon cheese. There’s an album of these pictures on my flickr! There’s also an album of sandcastle pics on facebook.
In other photography news, I finally finished my black and white film I had in my SLR and now have those to upload when I get a minute (mostly photos from The Great Snow and a day in Brighton). I’m also planning to sit down and sort out my Project 366 photos (though I think this year didn’t start out so well with that as last year).

Week 1. Click to full view!
I love post-its. I use them whenever I can and stick them everywhere! I thought I might try something, really out of curiosity for me, and keep my post-its each week. Some things here might be clues as to what’s on the horizon.

I have to say, there’s nothing I love more on a Sunday than a big mug of tea and PostSecret. Yes it’s been around a while, I’m late to the party. I love art, and I love psychology. PostSecret is these combined, we say art is an expression of a feeling or emotion, these postcards really are just that. Each beautiful in their own way, some very depressing, some uplifting. It’s quite an emotional rollercoaster for a Sunday morning, but I still love it (plus the tea ballances out the really bad stuff, as we all know, a cup of tea is the answer to everything).
For Valentines the Mister got me one of the books. Yes there are more secrets than you could ever want to read on the website, but I still love books, and I love this book. It’s a coffee table book really, one you can go back to. Some artistic inspiration, some things to ponder. If you love the website and it’s message, you’ll love the book. Click here to find out more.
I have two new websites in the works at the moment, plus the work I’ve been doing for other people so I’m very busy. I’ve decided to half launch this one – there’s not much on it at the moment, but the framework is there and it will be updated as and when I have the time. It will also be back-updated which I think will be rubbish for RSS readers, but I want to chronologically display my work, show improvement, etc.
I also intend to customise the theme I’m using (I like the back end of the theme too much to completely make my own – I just don’t have the time!)
Without further ado, http://photography.trubble.co.uk/ home of my photography. I had had enough of uploading to multiple sites and whilst I will still use those sites for networking, I really just wanted a home for it all. One place to update. The biggest problem I can see is people finding my work and offering concrit. That is one of the great things about flickr etc, you get feedback. So this is a bit of a tree falls scenario. We’ll see how it goes!
I’m going to be rebranding as Jaz Design soon, so everything will be migrating to the new name. I love the whole ghost thing I’ve got going on, but I don’t know. Just not comfortable with it anymore. Jaz is who I am. Design is what I do. Plus Jaz sounds kinda cool, right? Everyone’s started calling me it, used to be just my Mum and now it’s everyone. I used to hate it, but now I even introduce myself that way!
Anyway, I will be posting my daily photos here (probably in a weekly round up), and any I feel are particlarly good will find their way over there.

I’m currently laptopless due to the power pack finally up and dying. Awaiting a new one, but this does mean all my projects are currently on hold. Am enjoying some old fashioned reading though should have a new charger by the end of the week so things should be back on track then! Catchylader!
