If you want it done, give it to a busy man.

Poor old Random Panderings is feeling like a lonely lost puppy these days. Even though I spend way too much time in front of the computer, it's not for blogging. I'm far more likely to be on Twitter as @lightroomblog. Anyway, here's the lowdown on recent stuff.I launched LR2Pikchur, a Lightroom Plugin to allow you to post photos and messages to Twitter via Pikchur.com, this morning. It means I've 3 publicly available plugins that do this. I have a Yfrog one too, but as they've never returned a single email from their 'partnership' form, it's just languishing.Zebra had it's launch on Monday. It's a boutique run by a friend of mine, Olivia, and specialises in affordable high fashion for both women and men. They have a beautiful range of stuff, including that of Harlow & Harvey, as designed by Sarah O'Neill. You've seen work from her on this blog already. There was a fashion show as part of the opening, including modeling by a shy gang of her friends. There's a catwalk built is as part of the shop fit, but backgrounds are a little cluttered, with TV's, pipes and trussing visible.

Sunday was the most recent Galway Strobist meetup, held in The Quays. Due to illness and work 2 models cancelled, but we still had 2 models, and I had 2 'Movember' portraits also. Movember is a campaign to raise awareness for prostate cancer and depression, by getting sponsorship for growing a mustache. Pauric and Keith were good enough to pose with their 'ronnies'.

I've still to get to the shots of Liz and Alex, the 2 models for the afternoon. Shortly, when I get a bit of time.This week, I'm also writing my first Lightroom article for Pro Photo Resource. I had something mostly done, but decided to ease into it instead, so began again. That'll be out next month.I'm working on a new Web Plugin for Lightroom, should have a 1.0 version soon. You can see how it looks in my new Landscapes website Sky Water Land. Obviously I've been tweaking the plugin as I go, but now need to finalise and write the dreaded User Guide. I should just do a wiki!Speaking of web plugins, I've redone LRB Portfolio 2.4 about 3 times thanks to overwritten and missing code. I'm currently trying out Cornerstone to help solve this problem, which has happened before. 2.4 should be out soon too, again when the User Guide has been updated.On the sound front, The Wailers gig has just been moved to the Roisin Dubh from the Radisson. This means I have to get additional sound equipment booked and sorted before Saturday. It's a large band with a lot of monitor requirements, so fingers crossed I get it all sorted!
