Mystique (3.x) Photo Gallery Headers
I finally got round to updating to the new Mystique theme (3.1) for my Website.
After a brief read around the web, I was slightly concerned by the number of difficulties folks seem to be having with the transition. I’ll be honest I found it all straight forward, but I did do quite a lot of research [...]
Facebook Likes & Comments
A great way to share the hard work you have done on your website and blog is to get your friends to “Like” what you have done and share it with their friends on Facebook.
This is a subject covered in many places around the web.
How do I get Facebook Like Buttons, Comments Boxes and various other [...]
A Blast from the Past – Ballads Away!
Something I used to do quite a lot of in my earlier song-writing days was write ballads. I found it quite easy to put the arrangements together and learned a lot about how (and how not) to write a song. Some of them were written and recorded in a matter of days. (I know – you can probably tell).
I [...]
Enhancing Your Facebook Profile Picture (Pre-Timeline)
*Note – This method does not work if you have Facebook Timeline implemented (which almost everyone has, as of April 2012).
For some, this will be nothing new. I actually discovered this just before Christmas but have only just had time to write it up. It’s a neat way to use a background picture for [...]
The Big Fun Run
A little while ago I decided that as I have been running quite regularly these days, I would have a go at doing my first Big Fun Run and see if I could raise a bit of money for Saint Gemma’s Hospice. The run took place at Roundhay Park, Leeds. An area where I spent many a day of my childhood – [...]
Flying The PA28
2010, March 19
in Aviation
I had to cancel flying again today, due to having no transport to take me to the aero club. I suppose it was just as well, after what I had to pay out for the car service, MOT and parts. So I thought I’d make a blog entry with some pictures of the planes I have been flying.
Some of the pictures are [...]
The Price of Fitness
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 [...]
March – A Month of Web Stuff
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 Remix [...]
Google Wave / Windows 7 / Back in the Air
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 a [...]
Thailand – Septemeber 2009
Sawas dee khab!
Riffs & Rays short tour of Thailand, September 2009. Any attempt to fit the whole trip into a blog like this would be futile. Also many of the really good parts are unpublishable or forgotten and the really really good parts are probably both.
I have now calculated with the aid of 2 [...]
