First Dance

There's a reason I like to carry my camera with me, and today justified it perfectly. Sitting in the peace gardens enjoying a spot of dinner from the international food market, a couple appeared from the Town Hall registry office and wandered into the peace gardens. A band were playing on a stage near the fountain and the newlyweds approached them. They decided on a whim to have their first dance on the peace gardens in full view of the watching crowd. They say the best camera is the one you have with you, and when random things like this happen, having it with me is great!




Of course, the problem with this picture is that you can't actually see the band. It's the strongest picture, though, and captures the couple wonderfully. Here's the runner up that includes the band.

Sheffield CAMRA 35th Steel City Beer Festival!

The first weekend of October has rolled around, so once again it is time for the Sheffield CAMRA Steel City Beer Festival. Now in its 35th year, the festival has seen a lot of change in the recent past. After the terrifying ordeal that was the Darnall Liberal Club, standing out in a field with beer seems like a much nicer proposition.

Two marquees provided more indoor space, the place didn't smell like a donkey sanctuary, and the beer tasted great. There were around a hundred beers to try, and thirty ciders, so even more than some previous years. After a couple of false starts, our little troop of merry drinkers (myself, Emma and Chris) finally arrived at

iPhone OS 3.0.1 fixes SMS hijack bug

A lot of Apple haters have been rubbing their tiny hands with glee recently after news reports of a security flaw in the iPhone OS 3.0 that could allow hackers to "Hijack every iPhone in the world" . Many were quick to point out how slow Apple were for not releasing a patch, and many simply made it a soap box for "iPhone sucks, use Android" rants. However, on July 31st, Apple released iPhone OS 3.0.1, with a patch for this SMS issue. It installs easily enough, job done. Of course, not being privy to such information as how to hack my own phone with this exploit, I can't check if it does the job. Either way, there it is. A fix. More detail on the OS 3.0.1 release notes .

Why won't I leave me alone!?

Sometimes I just wish I could ignore my brain so I might be able to concentrate for ten minutes.
