Ahh so the arms that were tied are released finally. The covered eyes dilate in the light again

What is the future but a handful of ideas that have not happened yet?

Still alive..

Hello, I still breathe ! Not been updating this for quite a while now, but with any luck I can start putting some random things up here again now :)

Benoit Mandelbrot dies

noreply@blogger.com (Keith) — Mon, 18 Oct 2010 01:18:00 +0000

The 'father of fractal geometry' has died this week aged 85. I've always thought these pictures hold a magic not seen in any other place. That they appear from simple equations and go on forever in complexity we can't fathom is just mind blowing.

I remember downloading a free fractal program once and mucking about with it for hours. The shapes that are created are so beautiful and intriguing, truly like looking into the mind of God!

Ways to earn money on line

noreply@blogger.com (Keith) — Sun, 03 Oct 2010 00:05:00 +0000

Well this is the ongoing topic of so many blogs, thought I'd give my take.
I've been trying to make some money via the web for about 2 years now. I use or have used survey sites, adsense, traffic referal sites, ptc, independent ad companies, social networks and ebay.
So far I've not made enough money even to replace my mouse =/
So what am I doing wrong? I dunno, I guess I haven't tried everything out there yet (there are still article writing sites and others to explore). But the thing that gets me is that it is possible to earn some decent money on line but there are so many scams and opps that pay less than 1p an hour that it's almost impossible to find the legit ones. Ah well :)
Any tips would be cool :)

Geese

Silly joke for you:-

You know when you see Geese flying in a 'V' formation, one side of the V is always longer than the other..

You know why that is ?

It has more Geese.....

Sorry for the awful joke lol :-)

All at sea

noreply@blogger.com (Keith) — Sat, 31 Jul 2010 15:25:00 +0000

I've just got back from a few days away, camping in the New Forest, a national park here in the UK. Took in a castle, Roman ruin, beaches and a whole lot of trees!

This was the campsite

The seaside

The biggest, scariest ant nest i've ever seen !

And this is a payphone where the strong box that the money drops into was missing and the locals provided a alternative collection method ! he-he, this wouldn't work elsewhere !

Lastly a pic i took at Butterfly world a while ago, just cos its cool :)

Another night ends

noreply@blogger.com (Keith) — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 05:30:00 +0000

So it's 6:26 am, a time of day I don't see that often. Been up all night, watching Bill Hicks, Dylan Moran and Richard Pryor stand up and having some beers. Although I'm alone right now I pretty much feel great! Listening to Bobby Dylan on the hphones and sipping a chilly beer... And I can still type, result ;)
This picture is in Wendover woods near to me. I had to stop to snap those roots, greedy tree, it's taking what it needs ;)

June and raining

noreply@blogger.com (Keith) — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 17:36:00 +0000

I just checked and I've not updated this blog for ages, oops... I have been so busy with 101 things; guitar making
mostly but other stuff too. Been to a wedding in London with a fantastic reception on a cruse up the Thames, very cool stuff! Now I got to try and think of something to put on here, ummm hmm.. .
Saw a funny film the other night, Mary and Max. It's an old fashioned stop-motion animation, excellently done. I never usually like any kind of animated film but this one is damn funny and a really cool story. If you are bored and fancy something pretty refreshing I'd recommend :]

Here are a few pics :
The boat interior :

My partner and her two boys on ones 18th birthday

And I roped Kathy into helping with the guitar! She is busy here soldering some pot's for me :)

I diddnt want to play anyways

A few guitars

noreply@blogger.com (Keith) — Fri, 21 May 2010 17:12:00 +0000

Just a quick update, im so busy *sigh* *looks for sympathy ;)

Sawdust in my coffee

noreply@blogger.com (Keith) — Thu, 13 May 2010 00:37:00 +0000

So I've been busy in the shed over the last month, and I now have a bit of wood that looks abit like a guitar body, yay ! Granted I spent most of that time putting up shelves and making a workbench and other stuff to make the shed more workshoppy, but I do have a little progress !

This is the mainly before piccys :-

And this is the mainly after :)

I must say it is a fun thing to do but man, there are sooooooooooo many little things that you need to either have or know to tackle some of it it boggles me!

Will be good to have an electric guitar again once im done:)

I have been thinking about putting up a step-by-step guide here but Im not sure if anyone is really interested to tell the truth, its technical and all that so not everyone's cup of sawdusty tea :)

Oh in a fit of teenage-throwback (I was something of a 'goth' but once upon a time^^) Ive decided to name the guitar ....... THE RAVEN ! hehhe xD

Here's a suitable pic, best raven pic i could find!

I don't want to get on the cart!

noreply@blogger.com (Keith) — Fri, 07 May 2010 00:21:00 +0000

I'm not dead.. :]

Just to let people know I haven't updated this blog for a while as I've been too busy with sorting out a shed-to-workshop conversion thing. I'll update with lots of pics soon :)

Just a quick post

noreply@blogger.com (Keith) — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 18:06:00 +0000

This pic made me lol so im sharing :]

Some of my sketches, work in progress!

noreply@blogger.com (Keith) — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 19:16:00 +0000

Here are some of the sketches I've done so far. The design isn't final (by far), I'll most likely get through 4 or more revisions of the shape before getting the nuts to cut out a router template!

Have decided the woods though; Brazilian mahogany with a deep chocolate stain for the main body. A book matched herringbone inlay and brass (no expense spared :p) details. The neck is from a birds eye maple with an ebony fretboard, with undecided marker materials.

Using 2 humbuckers with this but not chosen the machine heads yet.

Nothing is final as I said.. It could change completely before I get to the cutting!

Going to make some guitars!

noreply@blogger.com (Keith) — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 12:58:00 +0000

So, Ive got the chance to start off a project making some guitars in my shed (the garden cupboard). I know nothing about this of course, other than watching a few youtube movies. I have my list of materials and tools written up plus ive drawn a 1:1 plan of a body and peghead shape I designed. Next stop the tool stores.!

Wish me luck and if I stuff it all up too badly I'll be selling some really posh mahogany toilet seats soon! ;)

Ill post a picture log of my progress if anyone is interested.

This dog isn't getting a walkies from this kid any time soon
