A Quick Word From Yours Truly


Hi, welcome to PJ's blog.

If you've checked out the "About Me" bit you'll see I'm a keen amateur photographer who enjoys all things digital. I mostly like photographing plants and landscapes as they are easy targets ;-) I used to work in Software which sounds more exciting than it is but am now officially a Snr. Project Planner having changed jobs after almost 25yrs in Software. I sometimes wish I could work in photography but that would probably become boring if I did it day in and day out. I used to sponsor a wolf called Luna until she sadly passed away, and love all things "wolfy". Anyhow enjoy the blog and hopefully I'll manage to keep it up to date with what I've been doing and my favourite things!

Averting Online Disaster

Google+ - what a pain in the arse! Got the app on my phone and somehow it's uploaded every bloody photo/video on my phone up to Google+. Now bearing in mind that I've several photos of the nephews on my phone that I'd rather didn't live online I thought I'd just go to the app and select & delete... No chance, not without it deleting the images off my device too - WHAT??? 

So signed in on the laptop and did the honours on there, not realising that a good proportion of the images I was deleting formed part of my Picasa Web Albums. So I go to my blog and website and find loads of uploaded images and links to Picasa slideshows missing - Aarrghh!!

So to cut a long story short I've had to restore from the Google+ bin (fortunately it has one) and lo and behold my blog and website have been saved :-)

Was going to delete my Google+ account but think I'll just turn off AutoBackup and leave well alone.
