Showing off…

Saturday, September 29th, 2007

I’d just like to quickly show off a picture of the moon I took on Wednesday evening. It’s a thumbnail, click for larger size glory.

Moon

I took it through my telescope (not a very expensive one) using my new phone (a Nokia N95) which I shall review (or maybe overview, a review wouldn’t be fair as I am totally smitten with this phone) at a later date.

There are a few more shots on the gallery, but this was the best.
I quite like the ridges on the top left edge.

The First Thing…

…I’d like to say is Welcome!

As part of one of the modules on my university degree, we have been asked to set up and run a website that will form a portfolio of work, as well as giving the students some real life skills. This will be my site to play around with and hopefully entertain a few people who wander in. I already have a gallery installed and will begin to populate that with content. Until I work on this site the various areas won’t have a consistent feel (or colours probably), so keep checking back as I’ll add new areas on a whim.

I would like to thank the writer of Jotsheet [underscorebleach.net] for creating a Dreamhost promo code that gives a whopping $90 off a years hosting. You can read about his motivation for creating it in this post [underscorebleach.net].

Secondly I’d like to thank Dreamhost for providing everything you could ever want from a hosting service. Lots of bandwidth and disk space, one click installs of popular software packages (Joomla, Mediawiki, Gallery and of course Wordpress), shell access and a free domain name.

If you want to get in contact with me then look me up on Facebook [Facebook.com] or use the details on this site (although I probably won’t check the mails for this domain too often).
