Exeter Quayside and Exe Bridges, 2014-11-09
My parents were visiting, and we had a walk around Exe Bridges and the Quayside. I took a few photos. There’s some great street art around Exe Bridges. It’s been re-done since these were taken, with some more amazingly good work. We found a cute little gull, too. A car with nicely subtle Hello Kitty […]

A whole bunch of photos with my new Sony Alpha 7 camera, at the quayside, Exeter. Boats, buoys and some interesting walls. Well, if you find walls interesting. I do.

[Read More...]Feet and Down
I was just playing with Sam’s compact camera. A compact with lots of zoom would be smaller and cheaper than a decent wide-angle lens, and the small sensor wouldn’t often be a problem for the sort of photos I’d use it for.

It doesn’t, it does use iCloud. I think I’d read about it using a subscription for syncing, and assumed that meant their own […]

I’ll start with the story of how I came to be upgrading, and how the upgrade, through EE’s annual upgrade program, happened, so skip forward a bit if you just want to know my first impressions of the iPhone X. Background If you’re in the UK, phones are still commonly supplied by the mobile service […]
[Read More...]A Bunch of Small Changes
I started tonight by scheduling a few photos to post over the next week and a half, then remembered something I wanted to look into with WordPress. I enabled the ‘likes’ feature, since it seems to be getting some use through WordPress’ own system anyway. I then remembered that I’d been coming round to the […]
[Read More...]Getting a TV – LG 4k 43”
We haven’t had a TV for a long time. Last TV we bought was a CRT. Big and heavy, but only, I think, a 21” screen. Seemed big at the time. Back in those days, TVs weren’t smart. They used coax and SCART sockets, and other than displaying the signal they were sent from an […]
