My new Fujifilm camera

Today, I became the proud owner of a brand new Fujifilm camera. It is a Fujifilm X-A7. It cost nearly $1100.00 but came equipped with a zoom lens as well as the kit lens. I feel that it will be a great purchase and will help me to get my online presence up and moving more effectively. I am sure I will have hours of fun with it. It will be a great travel camera.

My first Youtube video

Today, I posted my first Youtube video. It can be found here https://www.youtube.com/user/gvgates2010. This channel will be dedicated to teaching people the basics of computer programming and website development. My first video series concentrates on teaching BASIC-256. This is an easy to learn version of the BASIC language and is designed to get students up and running with programming as quickly as possible.

I expect to upload more content in the near future. I would appreciate any feedback or any ideas people will have to contribute. Email me at gvgates@gmail.com.

Today, i celebrated my 66th birthday. I was at work and got a cake and a present as well as phone calls wishing me a happy birthday. Overall it was a quiet birthday, but at my age, that is OK.

Star Wars: The rise of Skywalker

Yesterday, I finally got to see the latest Star Wars movie: The Rise of Skywalker. It was the last of nine Star Wars movies, although I think there will be a few others sooner or later. Generally, I thought it was a pretty good movie. Very entertaining and well worth seeing.

Christmas 2019

Today was Christmas day 2019. Unfortunately, I had to stay in Bendigo as I could not afford to go anywhere this Christmas. I have had a tough year financially and just could not afford to go anywhere. For lunch, I attended a Community lunch at lake Weeroona in Bendigo. It was a nice meal even though i hardly knew anybody there. It was generally an OK day though.

I finally get my car back on the road

Today, i finally got my car back on the road. About a month ago, the police pulled me over and fined me because my car was unregistered. I thought I had paid my registration online but the payment did not go through. In order to get the car registered again, I had to get a roadworthy on it but unfortunately the car did not pass the roadworthy and so I needed to get some repairs done. After fixing that all up, I finally got the car re-registered today with new number plates. So I am now legally back on the road with a car that runs a whole lot better. Good stuff.
