I like taking photos (although I seem to have rather got out of the habit of doing so). I like it even more when people want to use my photos. For that reason, all of my photos on Flickr are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution, Non-Commercial, Share-Alike licence. This means that anyone can do… Continue reading Licensing Photos

Been Away
It’s over a month since I’ve posted anything here. Sorry about that. For the first half of August I was in Italy. The first week, I was speaking at a conference in Pisa and after that we spent a few days in Rome and Venice. I took more than a few photos and they’re slowly… Continue reading Been Away
A Life Well Documented
Recently I realised that two seemingly completely different projects were, in fact, both facets of the same project. They both led me to putting more detail about my history into web sites and (once they are complete) this will mean that my life will become far better documented. The first project started when I dug… Continue reading A Life Well Documented
Livery Companies – Project Complete
(Well, stage one of the project, anyway.) A couple of years ago whilst I was working in the heart of the City of London, I noticed that my lunchtime wanders were taking me past a few of the City Livery Halls. I’d always been aware of the Livery Companies, but I’d never really investigated them,… Continue reading Livery Companies – Project Complete
Translating from Russian
A few day ago, I noticed this Russian blog entry which used one of my photos of Montserrat. When adding the link to Delicious I commented that it would be good if could read Russian so that I understood what was being said. (Another) Dave reminded me that Google has a translation service which claims… Continue reading Translating from Russian
Flickr Stats

You need to visit that page initially to opt in to the service. It will then start crunching all your numbers… Continue reading Flickr Stats
More Photos
Last night I should probably have been working on my tutorial for tomorrow’s London Perl Workshop but instead I was uploading photos of New Zealand to Flickr. So now there are sets from Christchurch and Fox Glacier as well as a more general set of photos of the South Island. There’s also a South Island… Continue reading More Photos
Some Photos At Last
Those of you who were reading my blog back in July will remember a number of posts about me buying a digital SLR camera which I was going to take away on holiday with me. You may be wondering why you haven’t seen any photos. The truth is that I made a fundamental mistake with… Continue reading Some Photos At Last
Flash Flood
I monitor an RSS feed of all photos uploaded to Flickr with the tag “balham”. Which is how I came across this set of photos of a flash flood in Balham today. I’m trying to work out how close to my house this was. And vaguely dreading what I’ll find when I get home this… Continue reading Flash Flood

Los Hombres, Havana Still slowly organising the photos from the christmas cruise. Here is a set of photos from Havana and here’s a collection that will eventually contain all of the cruise sets.
