New Year, New Resolution


Christmas, eh? Madness. This is just a small selection of the sweets, treats and general gluttony that has taken place over the last few days.

And it's also the first pic of my 365/2011 project. Hopefully a bit more organised and sane than last year. Last year's almost worked, but it's difficult to work photography around everything else in my busy schedule. There are many reasons I lacked inspiration last year, from being stuck in the same place day in, day out to being too tired to even contemplate art once the day's jobs were done.

A big factor, as always, was also not having a camera with me at all times. I've got the kit, the bag and the insurance now. Going to start carrying it with me more often, even if I end up not using it.

I'm relaxing my own rules this year. It'll be 7 pictures a week, rather than 1 picture a day. The reason for this is simple; some days I'm inspired and have the time required to get some nice shots, and other days I simply don't have it in me. But if I get 2 or 3 good pics in a single day (good enough to post on here, anyway) then I'll aggregate them all every Sunday. And let's face it, that's pretty much what I did last year anyway.

On a very positive note, I have a photobook of last year's attempt en route. Looks to be very snazzy and I'm looking forward to seeing them laid out on the page.

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. Unfortunately, reviews of the 34th festival were tainted with dissatisfaction, both with the venue and the organisation as a whole. I didn't attend last year, but I attended this year with some trepidation. Thankfully, the whole event was better run than I had been led to believe, but not without its fair share of hiccups. 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.
