Had a few min’s playtime in Photoshop with this pic of Tan y Bwlch, Aberystwyth.
And a “Night” Version …….
Just had a local Farmer from Dolfor pop in with a little Epson printer that has been giving him grief over the last few days. It’s been refusing to print anything, but giving no error messages on his computer to help him resolve it. He was going to chuck it out, but thankfully he gave me a call first.
Turns out it was just his black cartridge that had run out, phew!
After replacing it with a good quality compatible, it was up & running within a couple of minutes.
You have probably seen some of the new pic’s from the James Webb Telescope all over the media.
The one that grabbed my attention was the “Tarantula Nebula”, Wow!
After looking at it for a while, I thought a little magic in Photoshop may be called for.
With some help from the HDR tool to bring out the full range of colours in the image, and a healthy amount of contrast, the image was absolutely transformed.
Take a peek for yourself:

First job on the card today is some really pretty Wedding ‘Order of Service’ Cards. The Client did a great job designing it in Canva, so it was straightforward to complete quickly and efficiently, as always.
Then it was time to delve into it, sickly Acer 💻 that’s refusing to boot up. This turned out to be an incompatibility with the Windows 11 upgrade. One nice, clean Windows 10 later, and it’s back with the client.
Next up, it’s time to clone a client’s pc onto a larger SSD. After some initial grumpiness from the original Windows installation, everything went reasonably smoothly, Phew!
Last job, for this productive day, time to strip down & rebuild a WordPress site. They have been having problems with the plug-ins used to build the original site, so I advised a fresh start by removing pretty much all of the software and setting it up from scratch.
Kettle on…..
Friday morning & we are off to a flying start on some repairs to a client’s website.
It’s an E-Commerce Website that has not been sending emails correctly for a couple of day’s, which can be a pain!
After some input from Microsoft Office 365 Team (which wasn’t really helpful), checking all the plug-in’s, nothing seemed out of place. However, it has now just started working again ?!?!
And now there’s an update available for the Website Mail Plug-in…..
Look’s like they have found an error and sorted it on the quiet.
Next up is a client who’s having issues with Microsoft Teams & Zoom meetings.
He’s also had a bit of malware playing with his drivers for the microphone on his laptop, making things worse.
After a quick clean-up of the malware & installing the proper “Teams” & “Zoom” app’s, instead of using his browser, thing’s started to work correctly.
Then it’s some laminated A3 & A4 posters for the Newtown Amateur Boxing Club.
Another client drops in with more problems on MS Teams…….. Hmm, Beginning to smell a rat here!
Re-installing “Teams” does the trick again. Methinks Microsoft have been having a few bad day’s of late.
First off for today is completing the tickets for the Clun Valley South WI Group. Printing tickets is an important part of this event’s preparation.
A nice flowery design, as the speaker is the renowned Margeret Thrower.
Then we are into a bit of Data Recovery on a few old Mobile Phones & a rather tired old Lenovo PC. It’s rather slow going, but eventually everything was transferred to my clients memory stick without hassle.
Next up is a re-run of a local artist’s flyers. Nothing to change after the initial run back in Feb of this year, Kay’s just running out fast!
