Phew

It worked. Obviously I can now publish pics from picasa with this windows live writer. But what a hazzle to figure out how. NONE of any of the help files told me what to do.

The learning curve of fire

In the middle of June I tried to teach myself how to take nice photographs of fire. I have always liked the random but still very pattern-like images a bonfire make.

All the late summer evenings grilling marshmallows and sausages on a stick, listening to the evening birds and smelling that fresh outdoors at its best, feeling the heat of the flame in my face and trying to capture that moment forever…
Or just staring into the fire and imagine small fire gnomes or creatures living in there, what are they doing…

so. in trying to capture that feeling, with camera, without burning my fringes off, this was the result;

This kinda looks like Darth Wader yelling at some stormtroopers

I’m gonna call this the three-headed alien flame.

So. Some I got very happy with =) good first try anyways. Oh and yes, these are only the good ones, I’m not telling how many not-meeting-the-quality. Didn’t burn anything important(it was freezing outside anyway, so close to fire was good)

And yes. This was Johannus evening. Very traditional Finnish thing.

403 forbidden!

…WHY!! I try to really make a nice looking blog post and get “FORBIDDEN!” as the answer!

Maybe I shouldn’t take it personally ;(

..and try again later, good thing I can save the drafts

What to do with boredom…

…seriously! My mom always said that boredom was excellent for children, because then their minds and imagination would develop properly.

And then she always added the killer of all moods(atleast for a childs mind):
“hey! I’ve got something you could do if you don’t come up with anything!!”
and I go:
“yes!! finally! what!?! Tell me!!”,
mom says:
“ you can go out with the garbage!”
(or variations of –clean your room –vacuum the living room and other chore related stuff)

And now… Just to rid myself of a tiniest bit of boredom for a small amount of time; Let’s go do some house work…… bah
Or maybe give the cat a  shower…. hmmm…

Okay, show me the end of the labyrinth

just added NASAs little “image of the day” gadget, and got little bit disappointed about the picture for today. Hmmh! was kinda expecting there to be stars and stuff like “gods hand” and things. mjeh. Guess wondrous things don’t appear every day.

Anyway, I think I may have found my way into the labyrinths middle or close by, familiarizing myself with the features and gadgets and permissions and settings and the like. It’s just that now I cant seem to find the simplest of things, like ex. my profile editing! maybe I need more coffee…

getting started

Okay, so now I’m a member of the ever-growing family of googles blogger. Been wondering really how many there really is… I mean, people that blog on a weekly basis. And how many readers they have? What do they write about? Would it be so that its only my friends and family that would wanna check this page out?

Wonder what kind of weirdness will be blurted out from me … totally random things I suppose…?
