General update for 10th May 2008
May 10, 2008
As you can see I’ve been busy with other things. My job at the BBC is going well. I’ve been there for 3 weeks and I have at least 2 more weeks to go (though our project manager says it will go on for another 3/4 weeks.
The project is simply to audit all telephony within all of BBC offices in England. So there is a bunch of guys (and girl) going around every room of every floor of every building noting down every phone, fax or router they find with various details such as the user and type and features of the phone. They also have to note the phones on the floor plans and my task is to check then enter all this into Excel format in readiness to hand over to the BBC’s IT firm.
Sound simple enough but it’s been a bit slow since start due to various changes and us finding our feet. We’re in a better position now and I’ve organised the admin side pretty well. It’s a lot of work but not as bad as I thought it would be.
The commute is not great, actually it’s a right pain! I’m up at 5:30 in the morning and out the door at 6:40am. I take a long walk up to the town railway station which means I can hop on a direct train to London Bridge and avoid any unpredictable interchanges. From London I jump on a couple of Jubilee and Central tube trains and end up at White City. Luckily the BBC offices are only a few minutes walk away but from door to door the journey is 2 hours (4 when you add the return journey).
As I get in early I’m able to leave at about 4pm. I get to avoid the worse of the rush hour and arrive home just before 6pm. So it could be worse. But I generally get home knackered and can’t do anything more productive than check my e-mails, go through any post, pay some bills, put in my invoice, eat, wash and watch a bit of telly.
So basically I don’t get any time to work on the site or my photography during the week and lucky to do any during the weekend once I’ve caught up with things including sleep. 
Saying this I’ve done lots of tasks today and intend to process a batch of photos tomorrow. It’s been ages since I last uploaded anything new but I have been out with the dog a lot recently (especially over Bank Holiday weekend) taking photos of Edenbridge’s nature in the Summer. So I’m looking forward to getting some new pics processed.
In regards to the site, I’ve posted some post-dated link round-up entries for you. This is probably the best I can do for the time being but gives you some good photography-related articles to read. I’ve also fixed the flash animation on the home page so you can again see my photos. 
Until the next time.
