Yes it is still Mr kelly in Aberdeenshire Council anyway, but hey that is not by choice, as you say old habits die hard,I see change as a constant, the council is still in the 70s, I prefer plain old Steve or Stevo as the mrs says or indeed Stephen. Glad you are doing well and that brother of yours send him my best wishes Regards, Stephen yes John, you are indeed right the half century is fast approaching and with two adorable children getting into the teens year it is a bit more lively, full of energy and enthusiasm and both going to be architects?? so I might be in the money yet.

Don't worry, you're not alone, I can't believe how fast time flies, it must be 15 years since the Sandford, we're getting old! :) Heh heh, thanks Stephen (resisting the urge to say “Mr Kelly” – old habits die hard!).

Of course I have already seen some of the original photos. What with climbing hills and subscribing to the family of Lefties website, what else have you been up to? You know what these left handers are like? Regards Stuart This is what happens when you have too much time on your hands!!

So consider your correction corrected! ;) For the definitive answer (and I'm afraid conclusive proof that you're incorrect), read this: http://www.askoxford.com/asktheexperts/faq/aboutgrammar/meandi Ha ha, I can only assume that’s ‘American’ grammar you’re teaching since I’m in the UK and was always taught to say “my brother and I” rather than “my brother and me”, which sounds completely wrong to my ear.

Cool, glad you got the gallery viewer working - it's a bit tricky as most themes are somewhat different - I'll look foward to seeing it in action! Thanks – I’ll keep you posted!

Let us know how it goes with the negatives. I have some old B&W negatives from my college photography days that I want to scan. I tried scanning them with my scanner, but they look terrible even with all the settings maxed out! On another note, I finally got the gallery viewer working on my blog. I had some problems with my template, but I think I've got it working. I thinking about starting a new blog just for photography related stuff and I really look forward to using it. Thanks!!

Yeah, the trouble with scanning slides is that light has to shine through the slides from behind and a normal flatbed scanner only shines the light from below. However I bought an Epson Perfection V200 scanner: http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000UMJCPC As well as being a normal scanner you can also get it to scan slides and it has a strip light that shines from above as well as the scanning light from below. It does negatives too which is another project I'll be getting into! And you're most welcome! :) Hi Elio!
