I launched some memory sticks into the wild, using the Geocaching network as a medium. This weekend they’ve both been dropped into new caches by Geocachers. Thanks people.. keep it going! :o)
One of them has gone about 5 miles, towards Stockport. The other is about 25 miles away in Cheshire. Hurray!
Also my geocaches are getting [...]
I just upgraded this website to run on Wordpress 2.5 - and very swanky it is too! I was quite daunted to start off with, but safe in the knowledge I’d backed up my files & database, I forged ahead anyway. I Googled for “upgrade to wordpress 2.5″ or some-such which came up with a [...]
I wonder if that is a real name.
Silvia Ziranek did one of the first Tuesday Talks that I attended at the Cornerhouse. Although one of the reasons it has taken until now to write a review is my inherent procrastination the other is that her lecture challenged me, to say the least.
I think of all [...]
I bought myself a laminator from the ubiquitous ebuyer.com. I’m not completely sure why, but I’m sure it will spurn some sort of creativity, and potentially usefulness!
One thing that it will definitely come in handy for is printing of things for geocaches. They have a tendancy to get wet and ruin. Also I could laminate [...]
I think I’ve managed to recover from my February Plan. I was feeling very down-trodden at that point. Things seem to be just about in-hand. I even managed to do a few things that weren’t on my list, I made a video “Ups & Downs” (or I might call it “The Ups & Downs [...]
Juno is about a cool and collected, yet geeky, teenager. Juno’s best friend is a decidedly more geeky, but charisma-heavy character called Bleeker (Michael Cera, Arrested Development). At the start of the film Juno quickly finds out that she is pregnant to Bleeker. Initially Juno plans to have an abortion - and with the suitably [...]
I’ve been researching and experimenting with various ways of taking high dynamic range images, this the result of my research so far. Also serves as an opportunity to test the gallery functionality in this version of Wordpress!
There are plenty of glitches still in the pictures, but I’m making some progress.
I’ve already released USB memory sticks loose into the wild - as it were. I called those BlogCrossing. Each BlogCrossing is a self-contained Wordpress blog (like this one) and the idea is that each person that has the memory stick in their possession should make some sort of contribution, in the form of a blog [...]
My Mum is always giving me funny ideas to work on, little bits of inspiration, just her take on things I think.
I saw her recently and she said she saw this packaging in a shop and “thought of you” kind of thing.
The funny thing is that Stoned Apricots are the ones with stones in, not [...]
I released 3 USB memory sticks as part of my Blogcrossing project, and as far as I can tell they’ve all gone cold, dead, are no longer being used. So, failure.
Bugger!
If at first you don’t….
While “researching” my Hollyoaks concept I came across a similar idea, but simply supplementing Hollyoaks for Hypercondria.
Again, like the soap operas, I suffer from this terribly. Horrendously in fact. And so do many of my peers. I think it will work well!
I think the Hypercondria, Hollyoaks and Commuters are all good ideas. Maybe the three [...]
Recently Chinese artist Feng Feng (pictured) made a return visit to our University after some of our tutors visited China last year.
It was a really nice change to get a completely different approach to leading a lecture and its delivery. I was the first time I’ve attended a lecture that was conducted in its entirety [...]
I’ve charged myself with setting up a Wiki site for Interactive Arts at MMU. For sometime the course has had a forum online but in the last two years its usage has bottomed out and it is rarely used by anybody, which has rendered it basically useless.
Initially - spurred on by my own admiration for [...]

Urgh. The morning after. I won’t be going near Jameson in a while!
I attended a Jameson Whisky promo event at the new Trof bar yesterday - I think they’re simply calling it “The Deaf Institute”. There’s apparently been some “hoo-har” about the name of the place. Somewhat shamelessly Trof management wanted to call the place [...]
It happened ages ago, of course, but excellent none the less! :o)
I wondered how long it would take.
