Initial Impressions

Hmm...

It seems to work, to a certain extent, but I am not sure.  The most annoying thing is the extra line spaces it generates when it Flickr creates a post on my Blogger.com site.  It just looks stupid and I have to log into Blogger.com to edit text of the post.  Perhaps there is some setting I need to set on Flickr.

Another problem I faced is I find Flickr not very intuitive from a user perspective.  For example, I can't locate the email settings for the email blog on Flickr that easily.  I have to go through a couple of links before I get to the settings page I want to see.  Hence why I am not sure where things are or placed on Flickr.  Perhaps there's a learning curve to Flickr which I have yet to discover.

Another small thing I see is that since starting the marriage of Flickr/Blogger.com, the Blogger.com menu bar at the top of my blog seem to have half-disappeared.  Very strange indeed!

I will need to try this out for a little bit longer and see the results.

I did some digging around and found the following:

FlickR formats your blog email when it posts it to FlickR but then it sends this formated entry to your blogger and that also adds more break returns and hence, the double break returns...

The workaround seems to be, if you go to "your blogs page" @ http://flickr.com/blogs.gne and then select the "layout" option for your Blogger entry it gives you the HTML template that it uses to send your blog entry. If you then find and modify the {description} tag to read {description_raw} it will then send the original blogged entry in your email and the final blogger entry will only have the one set break returns applied to it...

Lunch with Grandma Ng - Japanese Style

For lunch, after praying at Grandpa's resting place, we set off to a local Japanese restuarant which Grandma likes very much. I went for the roasted eel in teriyaki sauce with rice. It was really really nice, and could have had another two bowls. Grandma's favourite dish was the barbecued squid. We also have pan-fried dumplings, beef rice-don, and my Aunt ordered her favourite sushi rolls. Really enjoyed that meal! More photos here .

Its been a while!

Hey all, sorry, had been away for so long.  Sometimes have so many things going on and so many thoughts, not sure what to write. Life update is that we've moved out of the in-laws place, and renting an apartment in the city.  It's not brand new. No lifts, and we live on the top floor, but it's my home now. Just recently been in hospital for stomach ulcers causing internal bleeding.  Nightmare, when you wasn't allowed to eat or drink for 4 days.  But I'm back home now, but only this morning, I discovered I now have a gout attack.  FML. Anyway, life continues to surprise or annoy me in new and fascinating ways. Mimi is still with us by the way, always staying loyal and guarding. Until next time.

Homeward Bound

Hello again, thought I'd give an update of what's going on in my mundane life. After chatting with my wife, We will be moving back to my parents's home in Manchester (well Ashon-under-Lyne to be precise). We feel it would be better for her to have people around like our friends and family should anything happen. Plus I get to hang out with my friends again! As with my work, I will still be working at my current job in London. The plan is that I will be travelling to London to work in the office for three days (Tuesday to Thrusday) and work from home in Manchester for the other two days. I felt it was a good compromise, and I'll get something back for the travel and accommodation costs (some but not all), plus I'll will be stilling working and earning the dough. Now we're in the middle of putting stuff in boxes ready for the big move in mid-June. Dug out a lot of stuff that we don't need, so we'll be holding a car boot sale to make some ca...
