As another week draws inexorably to a close I thought it might be a good time to pass comment on the changes you may have noticed going on around here. I’ve basically upgraded from the Kubrick design (now a classic) to the amazing new K2 by Michael Heilemann. While it’s still officially in an alpha state of development it’s still more than good enough. In terms of my own customisations everything still in a state of flux but things should settle down soon. Of particular note is the new archives page and live searching - check them out!
I’ve been wanting to do some photography this week but the weather has been so dreadful it hasn’t yet happened - fingers crossed for this weekend. So there may be a lack of pretty pictures today but here are some cool/interesting links to make up for it:

The past weekend was hectic to say the least - I covered well over 500 miles in the car and am now crashed out at home with my brain on autopilot - no thinking required!
The good news is that Red Ted has returned triumphant from his diplomatic trip to Shanghai, China intact. Below are some photos which were wired to me earlier today showing him out and about:
Yong Jiang Bridge
Pudong International Airport
His adventures abroad always make me rather jealous as he is far better traveled than I am. Recently he has been to France, Italy, Japan & China to name but a few countries as well as all over the UK. Many believe Red Ted to be a myth or the figment of a collective over-active imagination but those who know him always speak of the awe and wonder experienced in his presence - no wonder he is on the most wanted list of over a dozen governments and has a list of deadly enemies to rival Kim Jong-IL, the dictatorial leader of North Korea. Where his travels will take him next no-one knows but inside sources have reported plans for a summer European tour which may take place in August…

Someone pointed out this news article to me earlier today and I just had to pass comment on it. Now that the fuss has almost died down around school “inclusion” and the idiotic idea that children should no longer be allowed to participate in competitions where there were winners and losers some idiot has now pronounced than no-one should ‘fail’. Instead they should be given the grade of “deferred success”!! If it wasn’t for that fact that someone actually believes this then it would be hilarious but unfortunately this is not the case. Luckily the UK education secretary has rejected the idea outright.
Today I’ve been working on a new photo-blog website as an extension to this one. Basically I want somewhere better to present my best photographs and I can’t really do that here. It’s still a work in progress but take a http://photos.randomwire.com for a preliminary version with a few of my most recent photos in it.

I was testing out a new camera today and had a play around with the fast ’sport’ mode to capture my brother having a kick about with a football! I was quite pleased with how the camera performed (more on this another day) even though lighting wasn’t ideal. So here for your edification is Russell (a pseudonym!):
Check out the mid-air action!

Things have been quiet on the posting side for a few days as I’ve been away from fast Internet access visiting family in London. I’m back for the next few weeks at least now until my next excursion so will be updating regular as clockwork! The photos today are ones I took yesterday and are fairly coincidental - there’s no underlying theme here, just really filler as I’m quite tired tonight!
N.B. Just after I took the above photo some receptionist came out of the building (Canary Wharf) and told me I shouldn’t be taking photos. When I asked why ever not apparently the whole ground around the building is privately owned so basically they can enforce whatever stupid rules they like!
