I’m pleased to announce that a photo I took a few years back was chosed to be the CD cover of american blue-grass band Railroad Earth (no, I hadn’t heard of them either). You can listen to most of the album on their web site if you want.
I’ve just received the pre-release CD and it’s [...]

I shall start at 1 and see how far I get - so in no particular order:
1. Convert my Flickr Screensaver to WPF.
I thought I’d start off with this as this is a mostly code related blog. I’ve written some small prototypes and it looks like it could be quite good. [...]
Top 10 things to know about Visual Studio 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5
Daniel Moth (’The Moth’) lists 10 very good reasons why I’m looking forward to Visual Studio 2008.
The killer feature for me is still the fact that I can target .Net 2.0, which means I can upgrade straight away from Visual Studio 2005, play [...]
The Escapist : Zero Punctuation: Halo 3
Want game reviews and other funny dross with a british accent and a dry sense of humour (not humor) spat at you at the speed of a bullet? Then this really is for you! Enjoy!
See the video below the break!
It was with great sadness that I read that Robert Jordon had finally died. I’ve read I think 8 of the Wheel of Time books so far, and thoroughly enjoyed them all. Looks like he’ll never get to finish the series, which is a shame.

I’ve finally got around to releasing a new version of my screensaver. It unfortunately doesn’t add much functionality, but it should get around the “threading” error, as well as fix a bug or two elsewhere.

As usual, let me know if you have any problems.
Microsoft have released a new tool, Microsoft Photo Info which looks very interesting! I’ll give it a go and report back.

After last years rather interesting ‘Fire’ themed winter festival in Newcastle/Gateshead, this year the theme was ‘Glow’. Well on Saturday night we finally managed to get out and wander around following the ‘Glow Trail’.
I have to say I love it when these kind of things are on. There was a wonderful atmosphere, with whole families [...]

Why blog a picture of cupcakes? Cause I can
There is method in my madness, but I shan’t tell you what.

Just had to blog this as its cool!
Canon produced one of the best adverts ever (along with the Sony Bravia advert). It captures the wonderful feeling of being in the photography mood - a place that takes you away from the world, and into a little space viewed through that lens. The music is kinda fun too.
I was recently in the cinema [...]
Reading this blog post I couldn’t help but get the same feeling I get sometimes when browsing Flickr, especially some of the ‘critique’ groups. My person favourites are the Bresson, and the authors sig from the William Eggleston one (”George Spelvin [Nikon D200, Nikon D70s backup, 17-35 f/2.8, 80-200 f/2.8, 4GB Microdrive (2), Photoshop CS, [...]

Nothing harder than capturing that moment.

Goodbye Durham, originally uploaded by iambigred.
Not many people will know this, but I moved up to the North East in 1987, to Durham. I lived there for 2 years, and carried on attending school there for a further 3 years, till I left for university.
I have some wonderful memories of [...]

Just wanted to show everyone this photo by a friend of mine - I really like it (I’m a sucker for b&w).
