Pink is the new black

istock_generic_141085


I never knew that my turquoise KS handbag that i bought last year was actually the in colour for 2010. Does that mean my wardrobe and accessories needs a revamp? :-p

Im a participant of istockphoto.com but i havent submitted any new photos since 2007, but believe it or not i've actually generated 19 USD from my pictures. I know it isnt much but i never expected my photos to generate any money so im still very pleased. istockphoto is very strict in their selection of images (i've never submitted videos or illustrations yet) and when i was sort of an active participant before, ive only managed to get through 4 photos out of maybe 10 that i've sent them.

Maybe i should start taking more photos again.
Maybe 2011 should be my year of inspiration!

FML

One of my biggest resolutions this year is

to farking BACKUP all of my data

  • Which includes burning all my pictures from the laptop and portable hard drive into DVD's and maybe even print out the few important ones.
  • Updating my Google contacts so that i can sync it with any telephone device that i will ever own.
  • Backing up my photos/data on iPhone to laptop and thus DVD.
  • Keeping a copy of any work document i am working on in a portable hard drive or server so that if anything happened to the laptop i wouldn't need to redo everything again.
  • Maybe start using Dropbox for portability of data.
And if anyone dares to comeback to me and say "And you haven't been doing that already?"
Im gonna smack you silly!

2010 has seen me losing data one too many times and I cant take it anymore. So this year that would be one of my main resolutions and.. that other thing ive been meaning to do in 2011. But lets not jinx it shall we? ;-)
