Sorry for yet another extended period of silence on my blog. I know that I have at least two(!) readers and I should try to stick to my new year’s resolution and write more.
Anyway, one of the reasons I’ve not been posting is a sense of shame, mostly caused by the shiny new Macbook Pro laptop [...]
Sorry for the extended silence on this here blog – just been so busy this year.
As usual, I’m making a new year’s resolution to post more often, and I’m going to treat myself to a new camera in the January sales which I shall be using to take photos of my walks. Anyway, here’s [...]
I’m writing this on the train back from London where I’ve just had an excellent afternoon visiting the London Hacklab with my old friends James Stevens and Ian Morrison. The Hacklab is a not-for-profit organisation that encourages experimentation and innovation across a huge range of areas ranging from Computing to Bio science, with [...]

This walk is [...]

What with the recent censorship threats from Mr Cameron resulting from the riots, the question of Freedom on the network is becoming more relevant everyday. The Freedom Box project is the most exciting thing [...]
We went for a day out to Morecambe Bay yesterday. It’s still a bit of novelty for me to be able to visit the west coast for a change. I’m more used to going to Whitby, Filey and Scarborough.
Morecambe the town has seen better days, although there are efforts underway to regenerate [...]

Later this year I’ll be celebrating 10 years of living in Calderdale.
It is said that time speeds up as you get older, and I think that really is true. I can scarcely believe it’s almost a decade [...]
A few months ago I started to make my own houmous and now I’ve had chance to experiment a bit.

Once you start making your own, supermarket bought houmous seems a bit bland [...]
