May, 2012
07 May Trickycoding 2012 is now offically live. Check out my camera bag under photography. You will also find the Kenya story there, but its not finished. The technology section is a bit blank right now but all good websites are constantly under construction right?
06 May As nice as the Visual Studio 11 beta is, I use 2010 every day so I thought I should recreate the site and try to use MVC 3. I installed MVC 3 onto my dev box and all was going well until I finished recreating the site and it didn't work! The next step was to just install the MVC 4 beta and try again. There is no doubt that this is a learning process but I've done it! The next step is to actually publish the new site onto my server...
April, 2012
29 Apr I've been battling with MVC but I now have a somewhat crude set of maintenance screens for adding news and articles. The first article will be about my trip to Kenya in 2010.
21 Apr Its the weekend again so I've got time to work on the site. It is coming along nicely. I can't wait to publish it. Well, that's once I've figured out how I'm going to run it on my 2008 R2 server.
15 Apr I am working on a new MVC based version of the site. Once I've replicated the current site's functionality I will switch over. Did I mention I'm using the Visual Studio 11 beta?
01 Apr No April's Fools here. After buying the 24-105, I thought it was about time I micro adjusted my lenses. On my 50d, that lens only needed +1 but the macro needed +12, my 50mm1.4 +10 and the 10-22 need +4. It will be interesting to see if I notice any real world improvement in sharpness.
March, 2012
28 Mar To finish of March there are two final photo sets: The first is a set taken in Cliveden, a National Trust property and substantial grounds near Slough in Berkshire at the weekend and lastly a few test shots using my new L lens, the 24-105 F4. Check them all out in Photography..
19 Mar No work on the site to report I'm afraid. I needed to do some extra work at home over the weekend but we did get out for a stroll on Sunday. Check out the latest photoset in the photography section.
11 Mar Apart from a couple of hours spent outside topping up my vitamin D, I finally got the database working and have moved all this news over. No more manual HTML editing when I want to post!
02 Mar Another walk around RHS Wisley - check out the latest gallery in the Photography section!
01 Mar At the start of this month the Canon 5D Mark 3 was finally anounced. This is the first camera to have the same exposure system as the top camera - in this case the 61 Point AF system from the 1Dx.
February, 2012
01 Feb I have uploaded a summary of photos from January and February onto my Flickr site.
January, 2012
02 Jan Enough is enough. I've added some slide shows on the photography page. I've been to Hythe in Kent and RHS Wisley in Surrey.
01 Jan I have abandoned the LightRoom generated slideshow idea as the Flash based controls didn't work properly on all browsers and the HTML based templates just weren't very good.
December, 2011
01 Dec I've spent too much time working, photographing, playing games and generally living life to spend anytime on this website.
