Maker Faire 2011 – Day 1 (19:41)

Saturday, March 12th, 2011

Ok then so maybe i expected a bit much, being able to sort out all the posts and stuff while at the Maker Faire – there was a LOT to see. I shall upload the pics and videos soon, and then post them all, hopefully with a comment or something. However there was a lot [...]

Maker Faire 2011 – Day 1 (09:47)

Saturday, March 12th, 2011

We’re here! Sat behind the table quickly typing this up, while Simon quickly codes something for the Twitter Drummer (will post more on that later).

After a short evening out last night with the UK Hackspace people, met up with the others from Manchester then headed for the Hotel.
After a rather restless night (forgot my speakers [...]

Maker Faire 2011 – Day 0 (16:15)

Friday, March 11th, 2011

So, after an interesting train ride (nearly missed the connection at York, as the train from Manchester was a few minutes late…) I turn up in Newcastle. Straight out of the station, walk a bit, and I walked straight past the place where Maker Faire is going to be held – the Centre for Life.

From [...]

Maker Faire 2011 – Day 0

Friday, March 11th, 2011

Well, am sat here at the station waiting for the next train to Manchester, to start my journey to Maker Faire! Literally finished packing about 5 minutes before leaving the house. Hope I’ve remembered everything!

Maker Faire 2011 – Day -1

Thursday, March 10th, 2011

Well, its the day before I head to Maker Faire in Newcastle (come on down to see me if you can!) and instead of packing, I’m here hacking around with some RF modules I borrowed off Bob. Oops. Oh well, should be finished soon, and means that I’ll have them to mess around with at [...]

What I’ve Been Up To

Monday, January 31st, 2011

Ok then, that previous post was a little short, and a little vague… let me finally explain what I have been doing for the past… erm… couple of years?
First things first: I am no longer at University. This is due to many different things, some of which I probably could have done something about. However, [...]

A quick hello again!

Thursday, December 16th, 2010

Well hello there, it’s been a while. A very long while actually… but am looking to turn that around, and post about some projects I have been working on recently. In the mean time, have a look at some of the older posts I have written and enjoy your stay!

Being a Burning Man

Monday, September 7th, 2009

So, for several thousand of you (around 40,000 or more), you will have just left Burning Man. Im not saying your all reading this blog, but thats neither here nor there is it? But still, what is it to be a Burning Man?
Does it take setting yourself on fire? Because i know for a fact [...]

In need of something to do

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

Well, I am now back at home for the foreseeable future. And unfortunately, that about sums up my current situation. Having failed another year at Uni, I can’t stay there, so I’m currently looking for work, and in the current economic climate, and with the job prospects as they are, that is turning out to [...]

The Internet is really, really great…

Wednesday, January 7th, 2009

Well then, here it is. A new idea for this blog, commenting on stuff that is happening on the internet. This will be quite a difference for me, as I haven’t done all that much in the way of blogging, apart from maybe the old live journal i used to have, and the like. However [...]
