this probably sounds like an ego post, but it’s not intended to be … i occasionally google my name to see what pops up. as usual, there’s quite an interesting mix of sites and links to my photos, posts and other stuff.

the results show that i’m having a small impact in korea, in terms of being recognised as a photographer, and i’m also getting some notice from abroad (as acknowledged by emails and work offers i get from overseas).

top results:

others:

some shouts from other sites:

weird stuff:

i’m even listed on amazon’s bookstore (and other book sites):

finally, there was that one cross cultural fight i had online about my blog, which emanated here:

  • http://mannoya.egloos.com/903945 (not linking this one)

pretty cool … and it makes me very easy to find. also, i left off the list a lot of links to my name that i’d put up myself, in the form of posts and comments on other sites.

i hate being sick

i-hate-being-sick

i’ve had a cold since about tuesday. the usual symptoms began with a sore throat followed by a shitty head cold. i’m felling a bit better today, but i’ve still got a cough and my nose feels like an open tap. i will probably have a runny nose for a few days, then i should be fine. i rarely get a cold and i always hate it when i do get one.

today i need to go out, reluctantly, and get some film developed. i also need to catch up with matt from the korean herald. i’ll probably stop by and have a beer, pick up my business cards, and head home. i’m not keen to stay out too long today. i’d rather come home where it’s warm. and i can be miserable in peace.

i’ve also started moving sites over to the new server. i’ve decided to switch server companies and i’ve bought a 10 year plan. holy shit, that’s a long time. super-dave.com is already moved, as is nerfy.com and most other minor sites. i still have a few sites to shift … which i’ll leave until next weekend. the problem is that sites with databases are a pain in the arse to move, so i’ve been moving stuff slowly, for fear of fucking it up. super-dave.com has a database, so i’m pleased with myself for moving it over successfully. but i don’t want to get too confident, or shit will probably start to go awry in a big hurry.

next saturday i’ll move craig’s sites too. the new server company has sub-uer accounts, so craig will be able to have all his own login details … pretty sweet.
