Surface Computing

Filed under: Coding — Chris Ross @ 8:16 am

I shamelessly stole this from the major nelson Xbox Live RSS feed and was blown away by it. It is things I’ve been thinking about for a long time but just not had the means to work on code like it. I still have some ideas I’ve not seen – maybe it is time to start working on them!

Pictures Published In PowerKite Magazine!

Filed under: Kiting — Chris Ross @ 11:07 am

I was sat in the bath, beer in one hand, powerkite magazine in the other when I almost choked when I saw that two of my photos had been used in the magazine!

Wallop Weekend In Pictures

Filed under: Going Out, Kiting — Chris Ross @ 7:51 am

This weekend I went to Middle Wallop for the kite festival held there. Last year was great fun, although I could only just about fly my kite, and I could only just about go 3 metres on a landboard. This year was different. I knew loads of people, I could go anywhere I wanted and it was going to rock!

Saturday: the weather was good and wind was plentiful. The best wind was later in the day and it was howling. I think everyone loved it. In the end I stopped when it finally dropped off again and I was almost too tired to stand up. This is a picture from the edge of the field. (this is only a small fraction of the field)

The king of bling: Sunday was wet. Really wet. And windy. But still, really wet. We had three camper vans and a tarp and setup a mini camp base. In the maddness that ensured, Kilgore’s alter ego ‘the king of bling came out to play’. Not only that, but combined with an ipod and some speakers we had a long game of “guess the year, artist and song name of one hit wonders within the 90s”. We drank a lot, laughed almost too much and it was fun :D

Little Dave was tired and conked out in the car on the way home:

Garments: some clothes. A ‘wasted’ kite hoodie, wierd fish top, a landboarder top, a fish tank tshirt, lhf hoodie and tshirt. Some of the garments have been tweaked and modded with some text. (there wasn’t too much else to do in the wet ;) )

You can see the rest of the photos here.

If I didn’t have the anti-comment spam stuff installed on this website I’d have a lot of spam comments:

Akismet has caught 57,640 spam for you since you first installed it.

Eeek!

Video From The Weekend

Filed under: Kiting — Chris Ross @ 9:28 am

To quote my blurb from flexifoil forums:

cruton films presents:

Some LHF, a stray sky pirate and a beach all collided (literally) this weekend just gone. Thankfully there was a camera woman on board ready to capture what we, in the film industry, refer to as gems.

In this video you will see some water action (the trick is going along, as it was the first real time for all the water babies to play in proper conditions at the weekend), some land fun – board and buggy jumping and people huddled under a waroo!

Was a great session. Hope you enjoy watching it!

And here is the video:

I could write a long post…

Filed under: Kiting — Chris Ross @ 3:34 pm

… but I shant. The weekend was sick. Had a great time, spent all kiting time on the water. Here is a picture of me from Sunday.

Hope you had a good bank holiday weekend!

Rule For The Day.

Filed under: Coding — Chris Ross @ 11:13 am

If running a script to do database transfer on a remote machine, you check the progress on the remote database. Not the local one.

Special note: using this advice wisely will stop you wasting 4 hours of hair pulling trying to find the bug in your code. When there wasn’t a bug.
