    The 13th November

    This post is for joe. For a long time joe has been making a website about his days, and he tries lots of different ways of doing updates quickly and easily. His university project was based around the idea of getting pictures onto a website really quickly and easily. I have been trying to convince him for a while to convert to something like WordPress for making his site, but he has resisted because it doesn’t actually make things much easier.

    Then I discovered a flickr plugin for wordpress. This makes the updating process really simple. You use the flickr uploader, which sends all your pictures to flickr and resizes them for you. Then you just go into wordpress and you pull in your flickr pictures from a list of thumbnails. Brilliant!

    Here is an example of how easy it is to use:

    Thursday the 13th November:

    I am on Paternity leave so the day starts quite late:

    081113648
    bowl of alpen and check the internet

    081113649
    someone has been to london and didn’t call me. if you look at this website and you are ever in london on a weekday around lunchtime then call me and we can go for lunch – 07941952721

    081113650
    Listen to last.fm while i eat

    I think it’s time to tidy up:

    081113651
    Before
    081113652

    081113654
    After
    081113653

    081113655
    Then the bean woke up so it’s time for a bit of play (his playing is usually just staring at you)
    081113656081113658
    The midwife came and did a “heel prick”. That means they take blood to do tests. Lots of screaming.
    081113659
    Last Christmas Tim bought me a Sufjan Stevens CD called Chrismas songs. I didn’t listen to it much last year, so I am copying it ready for this Christmas. It comes in this box with a songbook and stickers!

    081113661
    Lunchtime. Watch a program about squid.
    081113662

    081113668
    Go for a walk.

    081113680
    Time for a nap

    081113681
    Which gives me some time to play the guitar.

    That was so easy!

    Busking Online

    That was fun!

    If you came on here between 8 and 10pm on the 14th november you would have seen me trying to busk. Rudi was meant to turn up but he didn’t get here. Greg also made a quick appearance at the end!

    It would be really good to see some other people use ustream – let me know if you have any ideas.

    i might do it again next week…

    Redwood

    At about 6:20 on Friday morning Rebekah gave birth to our son, Redwood Dwyer (or Red for short). They are both fine (asleep at the moment). I have taken a few pictures.

    Busking

    I have been going busking in my lunchtimes for the last few weeks. It has been really fun. I am not trying to make money really, but practice performing in front of people without getting nervous, and just enjoying myself.

    Today I got moved on by some community wardens. They were nice enough about it, but they said you need a license to busk here, and the council don’t like giving them out. They suggested I tried busking on the tube, but you need a license to do that and they are not currently issuing them.

    So that makes me a bit stuck. If I get caught again I could be fined and have my guitar taken away. Not really sure what to do. I want to keep playing at lunchtime but not sure if I can. I need somone with a nice warm shop who will let me perform to their customers!

    CSS Systems

    I design a lot of websites, and write a lot of code to make them look nice. This is written in a language called CSS. There are lots of ways of doing this and some are better than others. Today I found a great presentation about managing CSS. There’s a lot great tips in there. If you are interested in CSS then this is a great read.

    Working

    Well that has to be the longest time I have gone without updating the site. I really don’t have much to say either. I have been working a lot and not much else. I would like to have more stuff to update with but I dont right now. There are some pictures on my camera so I’ll have a look at them soon. Also playing the guitar a lot at the moment which is really fun. Some of that might end up on here at some point. Don’t hold your breath though.
