Posts that are all about me, myself and I … and not much else!
It’s been seven years. I’ve been busy having children, buying houses and doing a whole host of grown up things. I think it’s about time I resurrected the blog. So here I am. 😊
Wow, has it really been over two years since I last posted something to my blog? I have no idea where that time has gone … well, actually – I do have a tiny excuse. In October 2013 my wife gave birth to our first, beautiful baby girl, Ellie. It’s Read more…

The very basic idea is that I will take 365 photographs; one for each day of the year. It sounds pretty simple, but it’s actually quite challenging when you factor in some of the rules I’ve set:
Hello again. It’s been a while! In fact, since my last post I’ve been on a fabulous holiday in Austria, and I figured a couple of timelapse sequences wouldn’t go amiss 🙂

Some recent experiments with timelapse photography The first was taken from Cowling pinnacle (near Lund’s Tower), and is about 30 minutes of time passing in just 60 seconds.

In late 2006 I wrote an article about how I switched from PC to Mac, and through frustration over a few petty things I switched back. The main reason was simply that the Mac didn’t allow me to play my PC games, nor did it (perhaps more importantly!) allow me to continue developing MS-based applications using the .NET Framework (a Windows only set of application libraries).
I switched back, and was happy for a while. Then I starting listing all the things I couldn’t do on the PC that I’d gotten used to doing on the Mac. In particular, I use Final Cut Studio on a daily basis at work – it seemed a shame that I couldn’t use those tools at home. (more…)
