Article writing
Today I wrote an article for my photo tips website, then submitted it to ezine articles and articles base. I went in the garden a few times throughout the day because it was nice weather and I didn't get out much yesterday.
In the morning there were loads of flies in the garden, mostly sunbathing. In the afternoon I didn't see so many, but I did see a bee fly and a couple of bees.
In the evening I watched an episode of Life on Earth with Mauser and Bo. My PC Bluescreened and said that an important file had been attempted to be changed. So I updated MS Security Essentials and ran a full scan, but it didn't find anything.

Blogging
Today I did some more work on blog posts for my photography tips website, and also did a couple of Korea photo blog posts for my photo website.
In the evening I watched an episode of 'Life on Earth' with Masuer and L, then I watched a Bogey (Humphrey Bogart) film with Mauser. The start was quite weird because the start of the film is done mostly from the first-person perspective of Bogey. I thought it was really good. Not much action, but quite a bit of mystery.

Various
This morning I was finishing off the blog post for my photography tips website that I was working on yesterday.
In the afternoon I was trying to find out how to exclude files in wp-admin from awstats reports. After googling for the answer, I found I was already doing what was suggested (except for the sites on my hostgator account), but it wasn't working. I think the problem was that in my site config files it would exclude wp-admin, then it would import the main settings file which had
So I commented out the SkipFiles directive from the main config file, and hopefully that will fix it. I modified my HostGator awstats config files as well to exclude wp-admin.
Also in the afternoon I did some vacuuming and took some photos in the garden. I found a bumblebee in the pond, so I helped it out on a stick. I put some honey on a leaf for it, but it didn't seem to want any and then flew off shortly after. So it seems its spell in the pond didn't affect it very badly.
In the evening I worked on making a full size egg with the newplast plasticine that arrived today. It's not as easy to work with as sculpey, but quite a lot better than L's plasticine that I tried using before. And it's about 10x cheaper than sculpey / fimo.
The large one at the front is the plasticine one, the rest are sculpey.

Writing and being ill
Today I was mostly working on a new article for my photography tips website.
I was quite ill with my cold so went to bed for quite a bit of the afternoon, and went to bed early as well.

Being ill
I spent most of this morning still trying to convert the parish regions shapefile to KML. There were two problems I had - the Shape2Earth plugin would only convert one shape to KML, rather than all selected shapes. The second was that the KML produced by Shape2Earth was offset (you can see that the parish boundaries should line up with edges of fields, rivers etc. but they weren't).
The first problem could probably be fixed by purchasing a full license for Shape2Earth, but I don't really want to pay for it when the second problem exists. So I spent quite a while trying to modify the projection of the shapefile in the hope that this would fix it when converted to KML, but I didn't have much luck.
In the end I just converted the one parish region I thought I needed using Shape2Earth, and will put up with the region being offset from where it should be.
For the rest of the morning and part of the afternoon I finished adding metadata to my Pitsford Reservoir photos from Saturday, then uploaded them to my photo website. In the afternoon I also took some photos in the garden and posted an article to my photography tips website. I had already written the article before, but it needed some photos adding.
I went to bed for a bit as I have a bad cold at the moment.
After tea I made some sculpey I love eggs with Berry and Mauser. I was hoping that I could use scrunched up paper, then cover this with original white sculpey to form the egg shape. Then I could use the more expensive coloured sculpeys on top of the white base layer to finish off the egg's design.
But unfortunately the sculpey would just move around rather than smoothing when it was wrapped round the paper. So in the end we just made eggs without any paper filler for the centres. I had originally intended that the eggs be real life egg size, but due to the large amount of sculpey needed for making solid eggs, we made them quite small instead.

Photo processing and metadataring
This morning I updated my pog website, then went to Church.
After dinner I watched an episode of Life on Earth with Mauser and Bo. For most of the rest of the afternoon I processed the photos I took yesterday.
In the evening I started adding descriptions for the photos, then tried (without success) to convert a parish regions shape file to KML so I could tell what area the photos were taken in.
