For the first time in a long time I have had a day at James and Sons that did not involve any imaging, but owing to the nature of what I was doing I still have some images for use in this post – good images that I had not previously used in this context.
For most of today I have been updating the stock element of my database with stuff for the March sale, with a view to testing out this and the auction element, to see if my system can produce the desired results and a hope/ expectation of going live in all its glory for the April sale, which will make it more or less exactly one year from me starting at James and Sons to my system taking full control.
One of the fields I have in the section of the database is a photo gallery field (links to the images we have for for a particular item), and this is how I came across images today even though I was doing no imaging as such. My progress was slightly held up by having to do some emergency editing of images that had been transferred from a previous auction and revealed this fact rather too obviously, but I had still got to lot 181 by the end of the day, and will make much more rapid progress tomorrow.
I have a few other refinements to make to get the whole system ready, but the work I had already done was sufficient to amply impress the colleague with whom I discussed these developments.
Can England cap a positive day for me by at least salvaging some pride by winning the the third T20 against the West Indies, to bring about a series score of 2-1 against rather than 3-0? This remains the be seen. The World T20 gets under way shortly, with a playoff series to reduce eight associates to two to go into the main draw. One of these eight teams playing for the right to take on the big guns is … Afghanistan!
Here are today’s pictures…
