The weather continues to frustrate my plans to get out and about with my new Nikon D40 – or rather, the weather forecast does, since every day it predicts terrible storms and then by lunch time it’s sunny but my new camera is stuck at home. So in the evenings I’ve been experimenting with someContinue reading “Bad predictions: storms, world to end”

I For One Welcome Our New SLR Overlords
I For One Welcome Our New SLR Overlords Originally uploaded by Sifter. My Nikon D40 is here! Under £400 from Walters Photo & Video (arrived very quickly, excellent service), plus a 2GB memory card for £20 from Crucial (again, top notch service). Now I just need to learn to use the thing –Continue reading “I For One Welcome Our New SLR Overlords”
A Trip To A Real Army Surplus Store
The weather’s turned grim, so the following sentence already seems very old and dated, yellowing around the corners: it was a busy end to the summer. I went to loads of events at the London Design Festival and blogged about them for Treacle Down, including trying my hands at a massive paint-by-numbers installation and checkingContinue reading “A Trip To A Real Army Surplus Store”
Paintballing – They Got Me!
All the Dennis IT mags went on a day out yesterday – paintballing! Glorious weather and lots of fun. Although my legs really ache today, so I’ve been walking like a rusting robot 🙂
Shoot London
Clue 10: 2012 – What are you going to compete in? Originally uploaded by Sifter. It’s near the end of the month, so that means I’m broke and prone to moaning about money. It is an unpleasant habit I’ll admit – though I think it’s better than, say, public nose-picking – and it’sContinue reading “Shoot London”
In My Life
A lot of the time, I use this weblog to keep track of my articles, or to ramble through whatever idea is currently knocking around inside my head. So it never gets too personal, something I’m going to remedy with this post. I’ve recently bought a very shiny computer, a MacBook Pro, and as wellContinue reading “In My Life”
Time Is Never Time At All
Spaceman Originally uploaded by Sifter. At long last, I think my body clock is back on GMT; at the start of the month I did a week long trip to Houston, got back to the UK on Saturday morning, and then Sunday evening flew off to Taiwan for the Computex trade show. HoustonContinue reading “Time Is Never Time At All”
If I owned a pub, I’d call it ‘The Flag and Seagull’
Flag and seagull, 2 Originally uploaded by Sifter. Just got back from a trip up north. Blackpool at the end of January can be a staggeringly inhospitable place as when the weather is grim, it’s really, really grim. This time though, it was cold and clear, so I got some lovely photos – this oneContinue reading “If I owned a pub, I’d call it ‘The Flag and Seagull’”
My pictures are no longer Qoop’d up
The title is a terrible pun, I know. I blame my tabloid roots. I’m a big fan of Flickr, but one of the things that’s been missing from it is the ability to easily get photos printed (this is actually one of the things that made Flickr better than other web-based photo services – itContinue reading “My pictures are no longer Qoop’d up”
All This Weight, Resting
All This Weight, Resting Originally uploaded by Sifter. Seems appropriate, somehow, it being one week on from the bombs. original
