I've just joined a camera club in London (The Camera Club) :)
My aim behind it is to actually learn some photographic skills and get better at what I do. My first evening course is in a couple of weeks' time and is going to teach me the basics of studio photography - lighting, metering etc.
I'm really looking forward to it, maybe I'll even start exhibiting ;) Oh, and I might be needing some models to practice on. Let me know if you're interested!
When you find an old memory stick on your camera, you never quite know what you're going to find. I've posted the rather electic mix up in the gallery - there's everything from Edinburgh at night and a rather sparkly new Atomium in Brussels to sheep in a city farm...
This is a typical "Ooooh look, I'm using Microsoft's new Live Writer software" post. Except it's not quite.
I found that I had a problem in using though. When I tried to add the blog in, it would detect the blog type correctly, but give me an "Invalid Login" error. Now, I now that my login definitely works, because I use it. The logs didn't show up any failed login attempts either.
Then I found that Movable Type has a separate password for API access, which was disabled. Gah! If you have the same problem with Windows Live Writer and Movable Type, follow these instructions:
Log into Movable Type.
Click on your username in the top navigational menu to go to your profile.
Scroll down to the bottom where you see API Password.
Input a password of your choice and save. For security reasons, it should be different from your normal author password.
Use this new password in live writer.
Police say a "noxious" substance was released in a gay pub in Soho.
Come on plods, isn't it obvious? Someone dropped a bottle of poppers...
There are some photos of my trip to Edinburgh last week up in the gallery.
The weather was rubbish, so I didn't get to go hot air ballooning :(
<sigh>
How I wish I looked that good and could jump around like that :)
