Life in the not so fast lane

What a difference a day makes...

2009-10-05T23:18:00.003+01:00

Yesterday, Flickr posted on their blog, about our exhibition, Made in Oxford (at the Jam Factory, until the 31st October), and since then I've had an explosion of views on my photostream. At this moment in time, it's reached 2,652 views, and the photo that they used, has 1,061 views just today, which is amazing.What isn't so amazing, is that in the blog post, only 1 picture is from the exhibition

Recently as part of the Oxford Flickr group, we met up and took some photos know as Light Graffiti.Since they have been posted, I've had a few emails asking how's it's done, so I thought I'd expand on my replies here.First up, things you need. A camera that can do long exposures. I've got a Canon 350d which allows up to 30 second exposures. A tripod, nothing specially about this. And optionally a

Virgin Media CEO on Net Neutrality, doesn't like users

2008-04-13T21:34:00.002+01:00

Found this via on Torrentfreak, via Techmeme“This net neutrality thing is a load of bollocks,” he said, adding that Virgin is already in the process of doing deals to speed up the traffic of certain media providers. With around 3.5 million customers in the UK, and already traffic shaping due to lack of capacity, it’s a sobering thought that at the behest of “content providers” with deep pockets,

The IT Room

2007-10-31T10:07:00.000Z

So I found this on Digg, it's called The IT Room and it looks like a web series of the trials of an IT department. There is a trailer on the site, and it really looks like a rip-off of The IT Crowd that aired on Channel 4. Of course until after the first episode is uploaded, it's hard to know what they are trying to be. Mike McCafferty from the show posted on Digg, that the series is "kinda of "
