A photo of the Moon taken from my iPhone

I took the photograph below by lining up my iPhone to the eyepiece of a telescope. It was slightly tricky to get lined up but I think the end result was pretty great:

Pretty cool huh?

Using ifttt to archive your tweets

I’ve been seeing quite a few tweets about not being able to search back through your own tweets, with some users even offering to pay twitter for such a service:

Wilson Miner - Build 2011

Mon, 23/01/2012 - 15:50

Back in November I attended Build 2011.

Without a doubt the talk which stood out the most to me (and I'm sure a lot of others at the conference too) was this one by @WilsonMiner:

A MOmentous occasion

*Thank you to everyone who donated! Same time next year!*

Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come for me to finally try and grow a moustache. For too long now my upper lip has been a barren wasteland of hairlessness leaving me with a bitter mo-envy of the greats: Selleck, Reynolds, Burgandy and most of all the legendary Hercule Poirot.

Why am I suddenly posting about such a topic?

DrupalCon London 2011

Thu, 25/08/2011 - 22:19

DrupalCon London is almost over, the sessions have all been wrapped up and all that remains tomorrow is the code sprints to try and put some of the awesome ideas from the week straight into action. This was actually my first ever DrupalCon, unfortunately I could only attend one of the days but even so; I learnt a lot from the sessions I attended, the entire atmosphere was great and I'll definitely be attending future conferences!

Quickly resize a lot of images in Photoshop

Mon, 25/07/2011 - 21:26

Over the weekend I needed to resize an entire folder full of photos from my brothers graduation so I could upload them to the web without it taking 100 years to complete. I could have simply opened up each image in Photoshop, resized & re-saved them however that would have probably taken longer than the upload so I did a little research into automating the process.

Apostrophace design - bauhaus

I thought I would share one of my favourite apostrophaces. I found it makes a pretty good background or wallpaper so feel free to save it & try it for yourself!

If you would like to alter/re-post this image then all I ask is that you add a link back to this original design.

Microsoft urges you to stop using Internet Explorer 6.

Mon, 07/03/2011 - 00:13

On Saturday I, like many other web designers and developers, woke up to some rather pleasing news: Microsoft has started a campaign to finally say goodbye to Internet Explorer 6 (IE6).

The campaign site: ie6countdown.com shows a worldwide map and statistics of the current usage count IE6 is sitting at. As of Feb 2011 the magic number sits at 12% usage worldwide (down 9% on the previous year), with the ultimate goal of reducing this number to less than 1%!

The lone vagabond

Sat, 29/01/2011 - 16:40

I've been playing about with the idea of a design involving the outline of a person, much like the style of the Mad Men opening titles, however I have been a bit too busy lately to actually design anything!

I managed to play around with some of the ideas today and I came up with the following:

Qwiki: the information experience

Thu, 06/01/2011 - 22:19

A couple of months ago I discovered Qwiki.com, a site which aims to transform the way in which people consume information on web by offering 'information experiences'. The site aims to do this by allowing users to search for information on a particular topic, much like conventional sites although; rather than simply returning a list of results the user is given a short presentation or 'Qwiki' which contains a variety of different panels with all sorts of information in various different formats depending on what you searched for.
