Well, it’s confirmed – I’m finally going home for Christmas. I booked my tickets today and I’m taking a month off over Christmas. The flights are going to cost an arm and a leg though because apparently I should have booked my flights about 5 years ago.

I’m taking P with me to meet my family. He’s really excited because he’s always wanted to go to New Zealand and keeps telling me he wants to move there (he’ll have to knock me up for that – it’s the only way I’m moving home at the moment, but that’s not going to happen!).

So, on the 18th of December, we leave Manchester for Dubai where we are staying for 3 nights. Then we will be in New Zealand for 20 nights, and are stopping over in Brisbane on the way back for 3 nights. I’m really excited about Dubai – it looks like a really gorgeous city. I’m also really excited about seeing my family and friends! And my neice who turned 3 last week! And Wellington! God, I miss you Wellington! I can’t wait to wander around town, drink coffee, go to motel bar, shop! We’ll also do some travelling around the North Island, which will be great. We’re going to go to Waitomo Caves and abseil down a hole. I’ve always wanted to do that, yay!

I can’t wait!

I have been meaning to write about this software for ages, because I get quite a few emails about it from people who’ve seen it in use in my photo directory.

EUWDPCpixâ„¢ is an image viewing script that makes browsing images online really simple. You can see it in action in my photo section.

So, why is EUWDPCpixâ„¢ so good? Well, first of all, it is completely CSS customisable, so you can make it look however you want it to look. However, I think the best features are a little more technical.

You may or may not know, but most photos taken with digital cameras (or saved with software like Adobe Photoshop) save what is called EXIF data into the image file. EXIF data contains information such as thumbnails, time and date taken, exposure, aperture, file size, camera used, and loads more. EUWDPCpixâ„¢ extracts this data so you can view it as you browse. And because most photos have embedded thumbnails that aren’t used, it cuts down on load times because thumbnails aren’t generated.

EUWDPCpixâ„¢ also has an admin system to add comments and create thumbnails for images that don’t have them embedded in the EXIF data. To boot, it’s easy to install and manage.

I really think this is a great image viewer, especially for digital photographers. I could be biased because my boyfriend P coded it, but it was in the Guardian a month or so ago, so it must be good!

I have my ticket. I can’t wait!
