Last monday our Virgin Media connection went down. We lost our TV and the internet (but phone was still working, somehow). Now you might think - bloody disgusting, but I’m actually thankful. Instead of sitting, face glued to a screen (TV or monitor) I put some music on (Sign No More by Mumford and [...]

I'm starting to like twitter. As with most (damn the phrase) web 2.0 major sites I have an account (I'm there on all the social networks, flickr, pownce, last.fm, friendfeed etc) but I found it quite hard work to get used to the format. Then I started trying out http://www.posterous.com which takes anything I email them [...]
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:
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. I’ll [...]
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. [via] [tags]microsoft,photos,program, application,IPTC[/tags]
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 [...]

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 [...]
