1st go at HDR Photography
I’ve had a go at HDR (HighDynamicRange) photography. I’ve heard about for a while and recently Googled to learn more and have a go. There’s a fair amount of info on the web (including this bit now!), and loads of examples on Flickr. It seems some people don’t like it, but for some shots, it does create a high contrast wow factor, which I quite like. I’m no expert, but here’s...

London Moonwalk 2011 – Done!
This being my third London Moonwalk, I was a bit complacent and did not do quite as much training as I perhaps should have! Still, I was very excited, looking forward to the event. I raised £965, which is so close to that magical £1000. Must try harder! I had the fortune of being offered a lift with a group of ladies from Tunbridge Wells, some of whom I travelled up with last year. There were...

London Moonwalk Bra @ Ukulele Night
Just a short post.. I thought I’d attend the Tunbridge Wells Ukulele Night Thing wearing my suitably lit London Moonwalk Bra and Hat. Put a smile on many faces, even got to pose with a pink ukulele. To top it of, some kind folks sponsored me too. I managed another walk last weekend – 13.5 miles @ 3.8mph. Found it harder than last year, so will have to step up training if I’m...

London Moonwalk 2011 Hat
So my Playtex London Moonwalk 2011 hat, bra and T-shirt have arrived, together with my Moonwalker number. The hardest part will be the walking. Not that I don’t know how to walk of course, just this last year has been a somewhat lazy and self-indulgent one. Indeed, I typically walk a few yards from house to car, car to office, and back again. I’ve completed one longer than normal walk so...

Tunbridge Wells Ukulele Night Thing website
Here’s a website www.twukulele.com, for The Tunbridge Wells Ukulele Night Thing, I’ve built and there’s quite a story behind it. It all started when I bought my toddler son a Ukulele. The scale of the Uke to the wee lad seemed a perfect match. Then, by chance, I bumped into Dave Kinder who was organising a Ukulele night in Royal Tunbridge Wells and he invited me along. Having...

WordPress Commision
I have recently completed a site for a company of Financial Advisors, www.avtrinity.com. This is the first site I have been commissioned to build for a client who is wishes to maintain the content themselves. This is putting to the test, the idea of using WordPress for such projects and I have to say, it’s working rather well. The company had a rather small static site that was in need of replacement....

Content Management Systems
I have been experimenting and building sites for a few years now, both by hand and have used content management systems (CMS), such as Joomla, Drupal, DotNetNuke and WordPress. Lately I have come to the conclusion, unless you really need something very bespoke, then CMS is the way to go. CMSs have matured greatly, such that you are no longer restricted to one template and a few features, instead...

Moonwalk 2010 – Completed
I completed the Playtex London Moonwalk 2010, and never finished my post! Yes, this has sat in drafts for quite a while… Since I’ve got into the 2011 walk, I think I best finish this post off! I had the pleasure of travelling up with 3 ‘first time’ walkers from Tunbridge Wells. I found myself reciting everything about my 2009 experience. We arrived rather early, in fact,...
