With Kate having reached her 1st birthday, I’ve been looking back over the year and thinking about what I have learned from the experience of becoming a father for the first time.

Forging Bank Notes In Photoshop

If you’ve ever tried to open a scanned image of a bank note in Photoshop, then you too may have noticed the warning about opening bank note images in the application. There must be some clever image analysis going on behind the scenes to detect the fact it is a …


More Photos Uploaded to Flickr

I’m finally starting to get the full use out of my Flickr Pro account and have uploaded a whole host of photos from the past year or two.

Although they’re probably not that interesting to most people, I thought I’d highlight some of my favourite shots:

New Years’ Revolutions

I’d like to wish everyone a happy new year - here’s hoping you have a great 2006.

It’s at this time that everyone starts talking about their resolutions for the year ahead, and I’ve been thinking about mine. Beware: there is nothing original in this list, all of these are probably …


Bird Flew

Note to the governments of Europe: If we reach a situation where drastic measures are required to control Asian bird flu, please do not employ these men:

A New Lady In My Life

I have a new lady in my life.

We’ve only known each other for about a month, but I already know that we will enjoy many years together. We’ve been spending more and more time in each others company, and we like nothing more than sitting up to all hours …


Let’s Get Going

Well, I’m back in Wolves after my sailing trip. Tom and I had a great time - I think I was able to relax a little more than Tom, as he had to look after the boat whilst I just sat back, watched and generally got in the …


Playing with Google Earth

I’ve had a little bit of a chance to play around with Google Earth, Google’s recently released interactive desktop globe, and I have to say that I’m impressed. There may just be a certain amount of novelty value at the moment, but I just love the way you can …

Charity Football Match in Aid of Myeloma

Things We Wish We’d Said

On two occasions in the last week I have found myself wishing for the kind of quick wit and way with words that few are graced with.

On both occasions I have avoided confrontation, and walked away wracking my brains for a smarter riposte than the answer that I had offered. …


Courchevel Photos 2004

Well, the camera arrived, and the (few) pictures that I took in Courchevel are available here.


Hasselhoff Ends The Cold War

Here’s an interesting article on how Hasselhoff helped end hostilities in Germany. I think his soft rock, which appears to only be big in Germany, is often overlooked as a peace-keeping tool. Send him to Iraq, I say.


Wolves Beat Man U

Wolves 1 - 0 Manchester United


Crap TV Rant

Flicking through the TV guide this weekend prompted me to have a rant about the state of the current television schedules - if it’s not repeats of 20 year old comedies then it’s putting C-list celebrities into proposterous situations.

Here’s a review of the type of programs which are currently filling …
