What I need to do after swap-over
April 20, 2008
This will be the last post before I actually go ahead with the swap-over and it basically gives an idea what I will do afterwards. I’m not going to go into detail now, so it might probably not make sense to most but will be a guide for later.

I have a new job… with the BBC in London!
April 19, 2008
Yippee! Yes I’ve eventually got myself a new job. About time I guess! I’m not actually sure exactly what the role entails but what I do know is I’ll be working for a Reed Professional Services project team. The project is for the BBC and I will be working out of the BBC Television Centre in London. I’m told I’ll be doing data entry with 3 others and overall the team will consist of 17 people.

I’ve tried and registered on a ton of sites over the years, so please find a complete a list I can of all the social media, social networking and social news sites I’m registered on. The list was taken from a ‘badge’ produced from Profilactic, a ‘lifestream/social aggregator site where I’ve added all my sites.

March 31, 2008
Nothing major but with the help from the guys from the Revolution theme support site I’ve been able to tidy up the image thread found at the bottom half of the portfolio pages. It will now display threads from the related category (for example, nature photo threads on the nature portfolio page). The thread will be a preview and will basically show only the photo. Links to the full entry, where you;ll find background information and alternative images, are provided. The full list of portfolio pages are:

Upgraded to WordPress 2.5
March 30, 2008
Just to say that I have successfully upgraded the site to version 2.5 of WordPress (my webblog application). I was suprised how easy and smoothly it went. I used a automatic upgrade plugin which walked me through the process of backing up, downloading and installing. It couldn’t be much easier and couldn’t have gone any smoother.

Update on the web site - to do before launch
March 20, 2008
Apologises there are a lot of entries like this and they are basically me thinking out loud (though I hope it helps people understand what I’m doing and aid them if they are planning/doing the same thing - if not then you have my permission to tell me to shut up ;-)).

Donations
March 20, 2008
I don’t like to ask for help with money and feel a little ashamed to do so but in my situation I can’t even afford the £35 to buy the Sounslides application at the moment - the Flash animation on the home page that currently has a demo marker on it. But if you wish to help me out with this and generally with my pursuit to photography professionalism then any and all donations big or small are very much welcome. You see the buttons dotted around the site and here’s another.

A note to say that the switch from the old site to the new site should happen pretty soon. The new site won’t be completely ready but I’ve added some content to it, as you can see, and that is the important thing. Fixes and tweaks will be ad-hoc after launch. So the plan is:

My photo to appear in local newspaper
January 30, 2008
I entered three of my recent photos into a photography competition in our local news paper, The Kent & Sussex Courier. The competition is run in association with the Tonbridge Camera Club and a lady from the paper e-mailed me on Monday to say they want to print one of my photos in this week’s paper (out on Thursday 31st January 2008). I’m over the moon and can’t wait to see my photo in the paper tomorrow.

No Import
January 30, 2008
Hi again,
From a lack of response from WordPress support I take it that I cannot import all my old blog entries from my Serendipity blog to the new WordPress blog. So this will mean that we start afresh. A pain as I would have liked all the old photos here but good as I really would like to re-write most of the articles I wrote before.

Welcome
January 30, 2008
Hello!
This is a quick post to say hello and welcome to my site. Out with the old Serendipity and PixelPost sites and in with the new all-in-one WordPress/Revolution site. If you’ve somehow found this site now you’ll see that it’s very much in the construction process. I uploaded the new site early January 2008 to the UK domain during the implementation process. Once all the basics are set-up and I’m happy to go the old photography site and blog will be taken down and replaced with what you see here. So if you bear with me I will be working on the site over the coming days, weeks and months.

Day out at the London Eye
January 8, 2008
Again, very old news but they are worthy of an entry. It was my brother’s 28th birthday (December 2006) and I decided to take him and my Mum and Dad out for the day. We had a meal lined up and a boat trip down the Thames. We also have tickets for the London Eye. Have a look at some of the pics I took of the Eye itself: Read more

Day out at Goodwood Festival of Speed 2007
January 4, 2008
Last one from the ‘old news box’…
My brother and I went down to Goodwood Festival of Speed 2007 near Chicester for the middle day (Saturday 23rd June 2007). We were up early as we thought we’d either get lost like we normally do or we’d get stuck in major traffic. But the journey down was a doddle (apart from a little tour of a roundabout or two) and it’s was dead quiet. The flyer said to look out for signs to the event but we couldn’t see them though we did work it out in the end and rolled into the field/car park close to the top and thus the entrance. So a good start.

Day out at Le Tour de France London Prologue 2007
January 3, 2008
I was up in London for the Saturday (7th July 2007) Prologue of Le Tour de France in London. I thought it was fantastic! Up very early I made my way to Marble Arch. At this point it was pretty empty and quiet, but as I walked around I found some people already placing seats along the course. There was still lots of spaces, though so I decided to walk it, from Hyde Park to the finish, boy that was a long walk. On my way I went through a very busy area where people were shouting and screaming to encourage you to buy their wares. Pretty much everyone was at the finish and I could hardly see the track. So I chose to turn back to find a better location. Read more

Day out at the Red Bull Air Race 2007 London
January 3, 2008
More old photos and more old news but an entry nevertheless:
My brother and I enjoyed the Red Bull Air Race on Sunday 29th July 2007. We were up at the crack of dawn, missed the first train out of Edenbridge so drove to Redhill to get up to London. Tube was fine and we found it to be fairly quiet when we first got there (35k turned up in the end, they say). We had bought standing tickets on the South of the river where we could see the end of the ‘track’ and a big screen showing the whole thing.

Day out at Wimbledon tennis championship 2007

My brother and I went on the first Friday of the Wimbledon tennis championships (6th July 2007). We’ve never been before but it was great and we’re hoping to go next year (centre court here we come ;-)).

Movie recommendation: Sunshine
September 2, 2007
I’ve kept this one separate and I think it needs highlighting on its own. The movie is called Sunshine and is one of the best movies I’ve seen in years. It is from the director of Trainspotting, The Beach, Shallow Grave and 28 Days Later and the producer of 28 Weeks Later. Think along the lines of 2001/2010 with a bit of Solaris and Event Horizon mixed in.
