I’ve finally managed to find a pen that will fit in my wallet. I had one from a cracker for a while but that disappeared somewhere. Anyway, it’s the OHTO Petit-B and it arrived today from Cult Pens. Here it is with an extra small Moleskine Volant for a complete tiny note taking solution! (Although the Moleskine is 1cm too long for my wallet)

It’s got a nice fine tip and writes pretty smoothly – not quite as nice to use as my favourite pens the Pilot G-Tec-C4 and the Pilot V5 Hi-Tecpoint (0.5mm) but I can’t get them in my wallet.

I think that’s a suitable inane post to restart up this blog!

Happy Groundhog Day!

Happy Groundhog Day!

Just testing blogging photos from my phone to opalfruits.net through flickr.

This is the big pile of film I’ve accumulated from ebay to use with my new film cameras.

I don’t really do new year’s resolutions but this year I’ve decided I’d like to take more photos so I’ve bought a few film cameras (a polaroid and two 35mm) to mix things up a bit and I’ve set up a photoblog to encourage me to keep going with it. You can see the latest photo from the photoblog in the sidebar on the right and you can head over there to see how I’m getting on so far.

(Also using this to test blogging from my flickr account following the server move)

Unicycling pandas? Whatever next?

Polar bears in the Thames, that’s what.

…mostly.

I’ve moved over to Windows hosting because I wanted a hosting package where I could play with ASP.NET as well as PHP.

Unfortunately there isn’t anything for blogging out there that’s as good as WordPress but coded in ASP.NET so I’ve been working around the problems of transferring my WP blog over to the new server instead of transitioning to a new platform. Unfortunately WordPress makes use of a Linux only command to serve up pages with nicely formatted URLs and I haven’t been able to get any of the Windows workarounds to work on my server so I’ve decided sticking with WP is worth having search engine unfriendly URLs for now. Any inbound links to posts pre-move will now be broken unfortunately. Ah well, at least I managed to upgrade to the latest version of WP during the changeover.
