Visited Active Solution, my new employer, today for an intro session and to pick up my equipment. Time reporting, intranet, door tags, here are the office supplies, here’s the printer, etc etc.<\/p>\n

My new computer threw a tantrum during the setup phase and got sent back to IT support, so I didn’t actually get access to any of these systems, but I did come home with a new phone. Same brand and series as the old phone, but four years newer and a slightly higher-end model.<\/p>\n

It definitely wins over the old one in the “most camera lenses” category – as well as in “fewer smudgy fingerprints”<\/a>. Samsung appears to have switched to a more sensible material for the phone body.<\/p>\n

Reviews say the Samsung Galaxy S24 has a great camera, and I’m hoping that with the four lenses, this phone might replace my pocket camera for everyday use outside the house. (For any planned, more serious photography, I’ll still be using the Olympus, of course.) The little Sony camera I have is nine years old<\/a> and some bits are starting to wear out. It would be nice if I didn’t have to buy a new one – and a lighter handbag wouldn’t hurt, either. My old phone (four years old) took decent photos in good light, but in low-light conditions the results were pretty horrible, and it had no optical zoom so any attempts at zooming in<\/a> were likewise atrocious.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
