Change to blog format
Change is always tough, but sometimes the gain made by the change far surpasses the pain . This may be one of those times. Since this blog was meant to be a learning opportunity as well as a means to inflict my views and musings on anyone that cares to listen. The first change will be a to the format. The blog content will be devided into a teaser and body.
Unexpected colour shift
I noticed a very significant colour shift in a few of my photos after I uploaded photos to my drupal photo gallery. Since I have upgraded many of the image related modules over the last few months and also switched to Adobe Lightroom 3, it wasn't initially apparent what was causing the colour shift.

My favourite photo model
Abby, My favourite photo model came to stay for the weekend. Here are some of the photos.
Al sees the light
Jo mentioned that she wanted me to take down the plastic diffuser for the fluorescent light fixture in the hallway so that she could clean it.. Sounds easy right?
AV Cabinet
I decided that a built-in A/V cabinet would be a good idea for the basement family room. The cabinet is 20" W x 40"H x 24"D. The cabinet is made from 3/4" MDF with all joints glued, screwed and aligned with biscuits. The upper and lower shelves can be adjusted up or down in 1" increments.
