ALT + TAB

I hardly go online and “surf” at work because we’re at the busy phase of the project at the moment. But every now and then I want to surf. I generally switch between knowing my a current affairs, researching for July or August or snooping on friends. I hardly do it but the last 2-3 times I have done in this past week the CIO of IT has walked up behind me to ask a question. I’m sure he’s wondering ‘Do I pay her to just surf all day?’ Its too obvious if I alt + tab straight away. I just got to commit to being sprung and act like it’s no big deal, play it cool, act like don’t care he can see my Facebook page or Instagram.

So embarrassing.

Image Editing Apps

With our up coming holiday looming around the corner it occurred to me I need to find and download some cool photo editing and enhancing apps.

Why?? Cause everyone else does it when they're on holidays and it makes me wish I was there. And guess what? ... it's my turn soon!!!!!

So far I've downloaded two: BeFunkyFx and XnView Fx. Both offer a variety of filters, lenses, effects and editing features that allows you to transform your photos into something that looks professionally taken and edited or to give it a particular look you're trying to achieve.

I've been playing with both the past few days and have edited some existing photos I had on my phone. Here are a few:


Do you recommend any particular photo editing apps?

The Changing World of Business

I've come to realise the growing number of people I know who are starting businesses online either through the form of an online store or blogging with the view to market and get paid to say wonderful things about other companies products. 

Just this week a major media company announced it will be changing its manufacturing and distribution to reflect the changing landscape of how people want its product.

The internet has allowed people to start companies with little capital and with hard work and persistence grow their small idea into one of the major competitors in their field. 

All of this obviously gets me thinking about me and my "brilliant idea" ... or at least wonder when it will come intuition. 

I thought I wanted to start a dessert table company but everyone is doing it now. It has turned me off / scared me into pursuing it. I also realised it requires a fair amount of out lay initially which unless you have paying customers then it does hit the pocket considerably, something I can't afford now with a baby. I guess I feel a sense of envy and urgency to get my sh!t together and seriously start something ... anything!!
