Protecting Web Folders .htaccess
Aug 19th
Have you ever wanted to password protect a website or a sub folder of a website? Many CMS systems allow this to be done but there is a pretty simple way to protect access to the site before any login procedure using an .htaccess file which some people may find useful. I had to do
QR Codes – Decoding The Box
Jul 14th
I made a minor discovery this morning before starting work in the studio. Something quite interesting, geeky and possibly useful too. It reminded me of some random time in my childhood, spent making codes with my school-friends that only we could read… Then trying to crack the ones that another group of friends had made.
Solo Navigation
Jul 9th
Today I completed my first ever solo journey out of the local airfield vicinity. I have done a fair amount of solo flying but up until now, only in the circuit at Sherburn. This means plenty of take-offs and landings but not much radio and navigation work. Today was the day when instructor Jonathan felt
iNavigation
Jun 27th
Friday, July 26 – Time for another section of navigation exercises from Sherburn. This time I had some technical testing and questions in mind as well as the actual navigation exercise. My questions – Does the GPS system that is built into the iPad work well enough to be used for navigation? And if it

I’m in the process of putting the finishing touches to the new release of my MEAP application. Multi Export Audio Pro will reach Version 7.0 within the next few weeks.

New Rig Up and Running
Mar 25th
This post comes under the category of Technical / IT and is for Geeks only…. You know who you are… I’ve been off-line for a few days due to building up a new computer. Something we should never take lightly, as there always a certain amount of problems that crop up just when you think
Adding Extra Icons to the Mystique Theme
Mar 18th
The new web site is pretty much done now and I have pretty much settled on using the fantastic Mystique theme for WordPress. This is one the nicest and most useful themes I have seen. Built by the amazingly talented people at Digital Nature. Many people have been having trouble adding extra icons to the
The Price of Fitness
Mar 17th
Fitness and diet – Something I haven’t really written about before (and probably won’t again) but here’s a little story for you: Around Christmas time, like many of us, the result of some rather indulgent meals and lack of exercise prompted me to weigh myself for the first time in years. The results were not
March – A Month Of Web Stuff
Mar 12th
Apart from studying for PPL exams and the usual weekend gigs, celebrating a birthday and finally seeing almost 10 Kilos lost on the scales, I have been on a bit of a mission this month to sort out some of my little corners of the world wide web. Earlier, we (Riffs & Rays) launched our

Google Wave / Windows 7 / Back In The Air
Oct 25th
Earlier this week I managed to procure an invite to try out the new Google Wave communication system. Something I’ve been waiting to get my hands on since first seeing the developer preview video on YouTube a few months ago. I must admit I am impressed. I took the bull by the horns and started
Steep Turns, 999, DoS and Snow
Feb 2nd
It’s been quite a weekend… Friday – Flying at Sherburn was awesome as usual. The weather was no good for flying circuits so we set off east, climbed to 3000 feet and I did my first steep turns. A steep turn is between 45 and 60 degrees angle of bank. In other words – If
