			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s been a long time since I&#8217;ve done anything like this, it&#8217;s all very exciting. I doubt anyone will actually read this, but you never know. But anyway, enough of that.</p>
<p>Well, Hi. My names James, and this isn&#8217;t a alcohol anonymous meeting. I bet for many of you, your wondering what the fuck is he actually doing? And who the fuck am I? Well, there&#8217;s no point me explaining, you don&#8217;t care. (email me if you do). All you need to know is that I&#8217;m 20, I&#8217;m from the west midlands, I fiddle with computers, I like to walk up big mountains and that&#8217;s enough to get you into my friends list.</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t remember the last time I wrote something like and published it online. After all, I&#8217;m using a self hosted site and not some fad tumblr blog where I repost pictures of half naked humans in a distressed pose (although, I do like that now and again).</p>
<p>Life&#8217;s very different for me as it was a few years ago when I used to do this. I was a young, stupid and inconsiderate young man back then, and I&#8217;d like to think that I have become more mature like cheese or pathetic cider. </p>
<p>I&#8217;ve finished college and have a piece of paper to say I can fiddle with computers. I&#8217;m on my second job within the IT &#8216;marketplace&#8217;. I&#8217;m pretty good with boxes that say &#8216;Microsoft exhange&#8217; on them, I understand what they need to get them smiling.</p>
<p>2012 should be a good year if everything goes to plan. I&#8217;ll make it a good year. I&#8217;ll always have a smile on my face. That&#8217;s the way life should always be.</p>
<p>If you read this. Leave a comment. Im genuinely interested to see or how many do see this. Don&#8217;t leave your name or anything. Unless you want to. Don&#8217;t feel obliged too.</p>
<p>Catch you around soon,</p>
<p>James x</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, today &#8211; I lost my job. My only source of income. The next couple of months I feel are going to be very hard. I&#8217;ve got to run my car and life off of savings and dribbles from jobs if I can get anything.</p>
<p>I would attempt to make money on-line, but I really don&#8217;t know what I&#8217;m doing. My English skills are not the best, I&#8217;m not the best technology blogger out the there so.</p>
<p>But if you do know of anything.. let me know. These next couple of months are going to be very hard for me. x</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everyday, i have my headphones in my ears to block outside noise and general stuff i don&#8217;t want to hear. I have two styles of headphones &#8211; i have headphones and earphones.</p>
<p>If you have headphones in while walking its ok &#8211; but what if you have headphones in while walking with friends? Is that what you would call &#8220;antisocial&#8221;?</p>
<p>Most people would, but I wouldn&#8217;t. I love walking to music, it allows to walk faster and in a better mood. There is times where i literally put them in to stop people talking to me and to allow me to work faster like in college.</p>
<p>Would you call someone antisocial if they had headphones in and you wanted their attention?</p>
<p>What about if you were with someone and they weren&#8217;t involving themselves in conversation because they were listening to music?</p>
<p>I&#8217;d like to hear your thoughts!</p>

<p>My <em>Nikon D80</em> is quite simply amazing. I’ve had it for nearly a month now (i think). I’m enjoying it immensely. Bracketing has to be my most favourite feature. Its not just an upgrade from the D40 it feels completely different. The display on the top is extremely handy for when you need to check a setting and is better than looking at the display which can i add is awesome on the D80.</p>
<p>The Sigma 10-20 f/4-5.6 is equally just as fantastic. I like how it can see more than you can see. This lens + my D80 makes an awesome combination.</p>
<p>I’m not making this a long post, just a quick summary on what i think about my new camera and lens.</p>
<p>To see some sample shots either to go my <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20080623180036/http://flickr.com/comphacker">Flickr</a> or my <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20080623180036/http://gallery.jamesbayliss.com/">Gallery</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I’m Back! <img src='http://jamesbayliss.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  I guarantee your all going, wtf? &#8211; yeah I know.</p>
<p>Over the last couple of months, i’ve been wanting to do web-design so badly, for instance, i’ve bought books and read them all about 5 times &#8211;  But due to my stuupid dyslexia, (its this shit thing where you can’t learn, really fun) none of its going in &#8211; 0%. So while i was peeing today i had a really good idea. this was: ”hmmm.. *ting* I’m going to make a blog and make it a design version world &#8211; yeah i know it doesn’t make any bloody sense.</p>
<p>I mean &#8211; i’ll make my blog theme, over the next 12 years, (no kidding here kids) i will learn to design the world of blogs and the CSS man!</p>
<p>This is currently version 0.1 (i’ll put that in the header) and i’m going to continuously update and manufacture my website. I’m hoping that the 9rules mafia will join in somewhere along the lines of it, but, still. <img src='http://jamesbayliss.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> . *end of ting* hmm..”Get it?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After getting my Nikon D40 Digital SLR I realized how well a simple and cheap single reflex camera can perform. The next step for me is either a camera upgrade or a lens upgrade. Now, which one is better for me? The problem is that the D40 has a limited range of auto focus lenses. So, If I wanted to use the Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 lens, it would not auto-focus due to it not having the auto-focus mechanism built into it. The alternative auto-focus lens for the D40 is the Sigma 30mm 1.4 . Which is a super lens &#8211; I have been browsing through pictures on Flickr and some of them are amazing. The other option is getting a lens with a bigger range getting the kit lens 18-135, or push the boat out and get the 18-200VR.</p>
<p>The other option is selling the D40 with the 18-55 and getting the D80 with the kit lens 18-135, and the purchasing different lenses.</p>
<p>What do you think?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In a mad rush of new movies, including Transformers, Shrek the Third and aslo Harry Potter. Its taken them a long time produce this movie and its one of the best films I have seen in a long time. Like all simspons episodes, i’ll watch it over and over again, loaded with dumb jokes that are often as funny as the clever ones The film is based on a environmental issue with homers little pig causing all the problems. They involve Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has been elected president of the United States to try and fix the problems that Homer and his little piggey cause.</p>
<p>I’m not going to give anymore away &#8211; Go and see it!</p>
