New Pets

Hello!
Well, I've found the 'gaget' add ons! I saw the fish on another website and just loved them. I was very interested in my behaviour of wanting to feed them all the time!! A strange impulse just takes over. Go on, I know you want to, just tap them them a little nibble to feed on.....!!!!

How I'm getting through this week's tasks.

After Task 9.7...

I'm stuck at the desk today ploughing through the 9 point this and the 9 point that (you know how it feels). I've got a goal to finish these off by this evening and I'm using Gamification tactics (see: http://www.livingforimprovement.com/how-i-gamified-the-google-interview-and-how-you-can-too/) to do so. I'm treating myself to cups of tea every task I finish and then I'm having a cocktail at the hotel (Hyatt) I view from my window - the large leaning tower you can see from this picture:

The big treat is tomorrow however. If I get all this done I am going to treat myself to piece of art. My friend is exhibiting at 'The Club', Abu Dhabi, tomorrow and I've got my eye on this acrylic on canvas (only part of picture showing):

 

His website is: http://tonysextonartwork.weebly.com

Right, I'm one step nearer that cup of tea now!

Here's a photo of my workplace. I think that looks like one very cool cleaning job!

 

Here's a YouTube clip of the campus:

 

 

The Blogsy App for iPad

After setting up my first Blogger account it didn't take me too long to discover I couldn't upload my photos from my iPad. Well, that's not very good I thought. All my recent photos are on my iPad now. I did a little research on the internet and found Blogsy. Blogsy is an app which allows you to do just that. It does a whole lot more I believe but I've only played with it for five minutes. I will reveal more if and when I find out.

 

Here's a picture it allowed me to drag and drop from google images. It was very easy to do.

In my next post I will try and send you a picture of my workplace (from my iPad!)
