ISP’s and P2P… It’s going downhill
We’ve been aware for some time now of the government and indeed the ISP’s increasing awareness of that newfangled technology known as P2P (Peer 2 Peer file sharing). Over the past few months the publicity on this subject has grown rather dramatically as ArsTechnica recently broke the news of one particular ISP in the UK [...]
The way we talk
Following on from the last blog post entitled “The way we learn” I’m now going to talk about the way we communicate. In the last blog post I mentioned that I learned various things from my friends and people I talk to via Twitter. But very often it’s hard to explain to someone just how [...]
The way we learn
It’s often a much avoided subject, that of learning at least in blog posts. But there is a follow up to this that will be posted shortly, entitled the way we talk which, will link in and fill out the gaps in this one. So if this doesn’t make sense, just bare with me and [...]
Flickr Integration
Just a small update but thankfully the integration of the gallery into Flickr is now complete. There is now only a single gallery on the site, The Portfolio which is based on the Cooliris Piclens Suite. All you need to do is have Flash player installed. The remaining galleries are now hosted on Flickr, and [...]
Blind Photograpy
After reading my regular RSS aggregator I stumbled upon this article posted by Wired magazine. When I saw this I moved to say the least. Blind photography is something I had not even heard of until this morning, and it really does put things into perspective (no pun intended). The story talks about a photographer, [...]
About the whole writing thing
There’s a reason I chose this particular icon for this blog post. It’s actually down to something a friend of mine said. Go have a look at spoofscript.com . It’s another blog, one written by a personal friend of mine. We were talking earlier this evening partly about code, some troubleshooting and also about blogging. [...]
Huh? What was that all about?
Stop! Don’t read any more of this if you don’t want to read a little rant that also includes a chat about my new £1500 aluminum investment… though I will try to bring up some things about service and human nature. The last few days have been rather complicated for me. Working on the phones [...]
Access & More…
After a few years of waiting, I am now happy to announce that you can now access thelongmile.net through thelongmile.com! At the moment this is simply a redirect but it’s a big thing for me since I’ve been waiting for almost five years! So, there will be a minor rebrand on the premise that this [...]
Cleanup & Consolidation
I thought I would give you all a quick update as to how the site is going, and announce something, so I’ll keep this one brief for you. Since the revamped template launched the site has received a big increase in hits. In April the site saw 36581 hits, May saw 26810 and June saw [...]
The State of My Mac
So, following on from my last or shall I say last but one blog post. Guess what just arrived. Yes! My £1500 iBrick. The solid piece of aluminum machined down into a finely crafted expensive… computer. And you know what? I’m In LOVE!! Oh My LORD! I Swore I wouldn’t do this post, I really [...]
I don’t get you…
Yes, You, well more specifically, people. I don’t get people at all. In fact sometimes I think I get on with the dog better than I do most humans. Right, This is a rant. It wont make much sense, It wont entirely sound right but I need to get it off my chest. Heres the [...]
