Site Downtime
At approximately 11 pm thelongmile.net, cardifftweetups.co.uk, apptacious.com and casimireffectfilm.com all hosted on this server went down.
The server experienced a catastrophic failure which was caused by a bad command in the system scripts. The system has now been restored with the help of the folks at linode.com and the server is performing normally. I apologise [...]
The importance of a name
I’m confused. You see I told you all before I would start to shape the site more to professional content, and whilst I’d keep the blog, I may be looking for a new name.
The biggest problem is that mcrowle-grovesphotography.com is just WAY too long to ask professional clients to contact me on. It’s also [...]
I’ve made some decisions
Ok, So I’ve been thinking and AGAIN I have changed my mind on something.
When I redesigned this site, I wanted it to be a combination of my blog, and my photography portfolio, but I find I am taking so many pictures now that I need to refocus those efforts. Not only that but people [...]
Money
Just a quick note for all my visitors about the recent additions to the site. Those of you who visit regularly will know that I have always been very much against adverts. However with the more… “Commercial” nature of having CardiffTweetups.co.uk (yes it is now a .co.uk domain) adverts are becoming necessary.
As a result, on [...]
Site progress
As some of you may have noticed, there are a couple of changes that have taken place to the site. First and foremost is the addition of the twitter widget at the bottom right of the page. This is something that has been long missed and I frequently get asked if and when it [...]

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 [...]
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 33066 [...]
New Site Layout Now Up
Just a quick note to say the new site template is now up! Hope you all like!
Just another note – the twitter widget is broken – i cant seem to change it’s colour so its transparent for some reason, so it’s been disabled, and the gallerys still rely on flash, as I’m still working on [...]
Not Long to go
I’d like to give everyone a very brief update as to exactly what is happening with the site.
My Gnatt charts now tell me I am at 81% completion. In fact the entire site is 100% ready to be moved over to this one, however I want to fill out the other 19% which is of [...]
Minor Update
The site template that we have here, has basically been hacked to death in order to get it looking and acting like I want… But despite all this, It just isn’t quite looking how I want, but I can’t pinpoint why, or how to change it. So I would be really really greatful if anyone [...]
Read MoreMobile Gallery Coming Soon…
Despite the initial hickups of the past few days in getting this site up to capacity, I have now begun work on coding, and re-coding certain aspects of this site to try and allow mobile viewers access.
In the meantime, someone I know has managed to find something I did not even know this site had. [...]
