General postings about whatever

I’ve decided to start to use Flickr for my photos and videos.  I will keep the current gallery in place with the pics and videos we have now, but from now on I’ll be putting all new items into Flickr.

 

You can easily get to our Flickr page by going to:

 

http://flickr.uk-experience.com 

 

Here’s a new video of Emma, and more can be found in The Kids Collection on Flickr.

 

 

 

I also shoved all the pics from Mull up on Flickr as well, they are here

I’ve just posted some of the pictures from Mull.  You can find them in the Gallery.  There are just over 300 pics of the 1000 or so that I took while away.

I will post some videos once I’ve had a chance to go through them and convert them for the web .. it could be a week or so as this weekend will be super busy.

 

I have 2 RAYNET events.  Saturday is the Cottenham Fun Run, and Sunday is the Oxfam: Cambridge Walk.  More on that if there is anything to report.

 

Enjoy the pics.. I’ll try to upload more later, plus the videos.

Well the trip to Scotland was great!!!  I’ve taken around about 1000 pics and videos, I’ll go through them and get a selection of them put up in the gallery. 

This is the write up of my trip.  It’s very long and contains lots of links..   The pics of the trip will follow ..  Click to see the full story.

Well we are finally here in Scotland.. but not quite in Mull yet.  We departed Gav’s (M1BXF) house today about 1030 am.. a short stop at Huntingdon for some breakfast then it was anchors away and northward bound.  We had a very uneventful trip north.  Saw a couple of accidents on the way but nothing that effected us.

We arrived in Helensburgh at Gav’s folks house for the night.. we arrived about 1915hrs.  All in all not a bad trek considering all the kit we had in the Jeep and on the trailer.  I’ll provide pics of that later and post a link as well.

We had a great dinner “ruby murry” (Curry, it’s cockney rhyming slang haha) .. then a quick trip to the pub for a couple of drinks and finally back to the house.

We’ll set out Saturday morning about 10am for Oban where we are booked for a 1400hrs sailing of the ferry to Mull.  I should be able to post to more later if we have Internet.. if we at least have telephone and I get SMS messages out to Twitter and you can follow our adventures on my twitter page .. http://twitter.com/m1xzg, or check out things out on the CAMB-HAMS page.

Hope to get more post later on..

I’ve got a new mobile phone coming.. YAY!! .. the Blackberry 8800 was nice but it lacked soooo much it has been a very painful and trying year to say the least for me.  The new one has the lot, rumour has it there is even an optional bolt on kitchen sink too :)

I can still do all the Blackberry stuff as well.. the only thing I think I’ll be missing which will suck a bit is the Blackberry Messenger feature.. but I don’t know until I get it.  It would be a minor annoyance if that’s the case but oh well :)

 

More on this later once I actually have it in my hands.

It’s a bit techie for some maybe.. but if you need to mount an ISO Image (CD/DVD Image) as a drive in Windows then give this a go.. it’s free
