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

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
Runway 24 Grass
May 14th
Just a quickie… I went over to Sherburn today to do the final preparation for next week’s navigation exercise. We’ll be flying to Bridlington and Brough. So I need to get the procedure straight. There’ll be a small chance to revise it before we go. This will be my first proper navigation using a map
Up Down – Flying Around!

We were pleasantly surprised by some more good weather today. So I managed to get over to Sherburn for an hour of flying instruction. It was time for some more practise of precautionary procedures today. It’s a lot to take in all in one go but very enjoyable stuff and as mentioned before, essential to
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
More PPL Exams Passed
Mar 10th
It’s been a while… Lots of music and flying related things going on. Most notable news would be that I have now passed three more of the PPL exams. After passing Air Law late in 2008, I realised (rather late) that I have only a remaining six months to pass all six other exams. Luckily
Funghie’s Top 10 Wave-isms
Nov 15th
Top 10 list of Google Wave related things I find myself answering for people (and wishing they would listen to): Update your profile as soon as you can. Add a picture. So you don’t look like a random web item with no personality. Use the double click method to get an indented reply within a
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
