Last weekend, as a Christmas present from Mrs Pitts, we visited Scarborough and Alex Meek’s Photography studio to take photos of harvest mice. In a two hour session, I took 1758 photos and I’ve whittled these down to the best (in my opinion) 100, which you can see below!
The next few weeks are looking ridiculously hectic. I am looking forward to tomorrow greatly and have been since May. More of that tomorrow… The rest of the week is just full of events which will end up causing me no end of headaches. I need to be at the top of my organised game. […]
I have spent far too long today getting our Geocaching Statistics page working the way I like it. In the end, I settled on having two separate pages (this makes updating it easier as I can upload the html directly to the server rather than having to feed it into a page). I will work […]
Ian Visits is written by a guy who tends to “write about snippets of history I come across or reviews of lectures/events I have been to.” And one really interesting post that I’ve been meaning to link to for a while is his visit to the London Tube Driver Training Centre. It’s well worth reading. […]
Can you tell whether a book is any good from its cover alone? A fun little game that takes Amazon book reviews and pits 5 star rated ones again 1 1/2 star ones, then asks you to guess which is which based on its cover. Link: Monkeon.co.uk – Judge A Book By Its Cover

The world is safer, a better place today. That is what we are being told. The death of Osama Bin Laden is dominating the web, with Twitter (with a user tweeting about the raid as it happened), news networks and Facebook all lighting up with celebratory noises. And yet I find it hard to be […]
I’ve made my views perfectly clear on where I stand on the forthcoming AV referendum. I just wanted to take this time to say that I really don’t mind how you vote as long as you get out there and exercise those muscles of democracy. This is only the second time in history that this […]
I have written a few times about my views on the need for electoral reform. This May, we have a chance to vote for change. I want our votes to count. The proposed Alternative Vote (“AV”) method of electing MPs builds on the strengths of the current system while eliminating many of its weaknesses. Politicians […]
Back in 2005, I wrote about Martin Kyslun. I fully expected to see his name among the election results when they were finally published. However, I did not. This is the reason why. Sorry, belatedly, to hear of his passing. Martin famously received 5 votes in 2005 – and now that I’m older I can […]
