It’s getting a bit late for New Year’s resolutions (not that I make those anyway), but I’m catching up with blogging and one post I’ve been meaning to do is a list of some statistics for 2011. I’ll make it brief, since I’ve got a bunch of other posts lined up (so stay tuned)! Work [...]
I’ve just made a final decision to integrate my general website into the WordPress blog. There are some downsides to this, but it looks like things should work out just fine. The main issue that I still have is to find a way to get dynamic updates from my Gallery 3 installation, with all my [...]
Well, in fact they’re already here, as you can see.

Some new photos from around Seatoller (click for more photos!), where I went hill walking last Saturday with DUHWS, the Uni hill walking society. I’ve been there a couple of times before, but this time the weather was perfect! Photos in the album from number seven onwards are from last week’s trip. Did about 23.5k [...]
