Turning pc on and off by mobile phone

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

Achieving something good today…
I’ve been looking for a way to get access to the files on my PC without wasting power keeping my computer on 24/7. The easiest way to do this is to keep the PC off all the time and find a way of turning it on without being in front of it.
The [...]

Five Years

Friday, June 20th, 2008

If you look at the archives at the right hand side you can see how far they go back to.
I’ve just noticed that it goes up to June 2003, which means this blog has now been up 5 years. Happy birthday blog.

Photographs

Thursday, June 19th, 2008

I’ve started to tag up my photographs ready for Flickr, but I can’t geotag them until the weekend. So it won’t be long until I can upload them.
My dolphin picture didn’t come out as well as I hoped. This is all I got in the end…

Geotagging - Flickr Maps

Monday, May 19th, 2008

I’ve been having a play with photo maps in the last couple of days, playing with applications and website widgets that show maps. I’ve tried trippermap on www.mediaguy.co.uk/map.
The biggest problem I’ve found is that the best photo site bar none is Flickr, that’s where all my photos are and just about everyone else in the [...]

Wordpress

Sunday, April 27th, 2008

Well obviously I’ve been playing with the site. Apparently this is a very popular theme but it has a lot of customisable options, making it perfect for me.
I might put my own picture back up or put something Lynmouth-y up to make it look nicer. I’ll decide later.

It’s Hot

Sunday, August 5th, 2007

Laura, a Spanish lady I work with, would be very happy today. For her ‘too hot’ is around 40 degrees. For me it seems to be any day in Summer where there is no cloud.
What is a shame is that if we were still in Lynmouth right now it would be beautiful. We would probably [...]

Air Ambulance / Flickr change

Friday, July 27th, 2007

Got up close to an air ambulance today. Also you’ll notice that I’ve added something into the blog to better intergrate it into flickr.

Photoshop

Saturday, July 14th, 2007

I’ve been very good with software recently. I’ve been buying all my software, using my job as a way of legally getting things like Office and educational versions of Dreamweaver. But I got stuck with Photoshop this week.
I’ve been using Paint Shop Pro XI for all my photo editing. It’s about £600 less and practically [...]

Old posts

Wednesday, July 11th, 2007

I filled it up pretty quickly!
With 206 previous blog entries spanning 4 years I’ve not really had the time to import my old stuff properly. Most things are there but what has happened is
