A response to Oxford Archaeology

NB This post should never have showed up in the blog feed; I never published it because my comment actually did make it onto the OA blog. A bug made it appear in the feed. Sorry for the confusion.

Slight digression from the usual photography-related content of this blog. Anyone not interested in Launchpad or my work as a developer should look away nowish. We'll resume our usual programming shortly.

For those interested, please take a look below the fold.

KYH: UUPC promo shoot

As I said in my last entry, I shot some promotional photos for the Ubuntu UK Podcast team this weekend, since they were up in Liverpool for OGGCamp 10 and I figured it’d be as good a time as any for me to try my hand at some group shots. The experience taught me several [...]

Shooting for Freedom

See what I did there? OGGCamp 10 is currently on at the Black-E in Liverpool (or if you’re reading this after May 2nd 2010, was on). So I figured I’d take advantage of that and shoot some promotional material for The Ubuntu UK Podcast team, which… well, is quite a story, so I’ll tell it later, because it’s [...]

A little rant

I was going to write a blog entry about my new MacBook. After all, I’ve spent a lot of my fine British pounds on it (well, let’s be honest, most of them were Canonical’s fine British pounds but let’s gloss over that) and I agonised about buying it, so it only made sense that I [...]

gphoto2 + F-Spot = win

Whilst I’m waiting for my MacBook to work its way from Shanghai to my house, depending of course on when Iceland stops its geological sneeze or the European aviation authorities decide that the danger has passed, I decided to see if I could find the best solution for tethered shooting under Linux. The advantage to [...]

In which your loathing is cordially told to sod off

You’ll remember, no doubt, that I wrote a while back about having a sudden and hard-to-define hankering for a MacBook Pro. Well, dear reader, my laptop refresh benefit finally arrives this month (Canonical workers are expected to provide their own laptop upon joining the company but the company pays for a new laptop every three [...]

Quit whining

Mur Lafferty said earlier: Quit whining and make something So I did: make custom gifts at Zazzle I did that in about a minute. What could you make with the time you have available?

Ben Wallace Responds

I’ve received a response to my letter about the Digital Economy Bill from my MP, Ben Wallace. Dear Mr Binns, Thank you for contacting me about the Digital Economy Bill. I understand that you are anxious that the Bill is being rushed through Parliament by the Government in advance of the General Election. The Bill [...]

Mumblemumblegrumblemumble

Bloody Northern weather. We’d planned the woodland shoot for today; I’ve found a model with whom I want to work, we’ve agreed TFCD terms and outfits and I know what I want to shoot. And then it tips it down. The forecast for this morning was for lots of rain throughout the day, so we called [...]

Another letter to Ben Wallace

With the spectre of the Digital Economy Bill looming large for everyone, and the BPI and others lobbying to have it passed without proper parliamentary scrutiny, I decided it was time to write, once again, to my MP, Ben Wallace. Dear Mr Wallace, I’m writing to you, once again, to express my deep reservations about [...]
