A Journey Through Time – Part 1 – The Village Episode 1

As briefly discussed in my blog last week, there were a few projects we started many, many years ago that have not been released for public consumption as they are, to be frank, a bit pants. The main project that occupied many years throughout high school, 6th Form and for some of us the first …

Video editing on a Mac – “It’s just better”

For just under 6 years I did my video editing on a PC. PC’s are cheap, customisable and pretty much everyone owns one. The software I used initially was equally cheap – Ulead Video Studio 8, for a mere £25 from WH Smith. You know, back when they used to sell more than books, magazines …

Yeah, it’s been a while…

Blimey, has it really been 12 months since the last post on this blog? Best get my act together and make an effort going into 2012… I’ll be aiming for at least 1 update a week, probably on a Friday evening, from this Friday onwards. Let’s see how I do with that, although I’ve now …

Camping Holiday – Day 6 – Saturday 21st August 2010

Another early start to wrap up the holiday. Shower drains were clogged with something, I didn’t want to investigate too closely. Similarly, the toilets were hardly in fantastic condition. Glad we were leaving, quite frankly. Somehow we got everything packed away rather easily, throwing away a fair amount of unwanted stuff for reasons of space. …

Camping Holiday – Day 5 – Friday 20th August 2010

Camping Holiday – Day 5 – Friday 20th August 2010 The last full day of the holiday before we had to go home, and we had a fair bit to cram in. I ended up sleeping in for an extra hour compared to the rest of the week. I blame the torrential wind all night …

Camping Holiday – Day 4 – Thursday 19th August 2010

Day 4 started much like the others – myself up early and everybody else gradually waking up in dribs and drabs. The weather was hardly stellar, and after briefly checking through the attractions guide for Cornwall that we had received at the zoo the day before, I found a miniature railway, Lappa Valley, that was …

Camping Holiday – Day 3 – Wednesday 18th August 2010

One thing I forgot to add to yesterday’s blog was that, after dinner, we sat at the campsite bar and was accosted by a chap from York. He was a bit drunk, and pretty much started a minor argument with Tommy. Ant and myself had a laugh about the sequels to The Matrix and missed …

Camping Holiday – Day 2 – Tuesday 17th August 2010

I got off to an early start on Tuesday. It’s been four years since my last camping trip and I dont think I’ll ever get used to waking up with the brightest light in the sky shining in my face. So, I made toilet, showered and got dressed, forgetting every few minutes that I had …

Camping Holiday – Day 1 – Monday 16th August 2010

The day started off early (The alarm going off at 6.40am was a bit startling to say the least), allowing plenty of time to make sure the car was packed and to give me time to pick up my three passengers for the trip down to Newquay. A quick round of toast and a final …

It begins…

Right, let’s see if we can maintain a blog for an extended period of time. My last attempt only lasted one entry, and my own website only had three or four. This will be different however. I have plenty to write about here! For starters, this will all mostly be updated via my iPhone, I …
