Dicking around with a bag of eyelets and a macro tube attachment for my camera. It’s not great seeing as my lens doesn’t have manual aperture control but hey… a tiny tripod and a 15 second exposure sorted that.

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010A Valentine’s Day trip to Highgate Cemetery
Tuesday, February 16th, 2010I started a four week internship last week so I haven’t had much time to work on my own stuff. On the plus side this internship has been doing wonders for my coding ability.
Anyway, on to the subject of this post… I somehow ended up going to Highgate Cemetery last Sunday (Valentine’s Day) and although it was a bit of a random choice of activity it was very enjoyable, if not a bit cold.
Luckily I had my new Pentax K-x with me so I took it out for a spin. It was the first time I’d properly used it since getting it and now I’m itching to use it again. Not sure what to photograph though.
Anywho – click the link for some of the better photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/oddvalue/sets/72157623318333883/
Pure CSS 3 Analogue Clock
Thursday, February 4th, 2010Ok so I haven’t posted anything here in ages. The forum thing never really happened because I got sidetracked upgrading my own site. I did make a pretty good start on it so maybe I’ll finish it one day, just not now.
…but enough of what I’m not doing… I’ve been looking at HTML5 and CSS3 recently and I’m really liking what I’m seeing. It’s just a shame that its going to be some time until it’s actually commercially usable.
Go here and help retire the lame evil that is IE6 http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/ie6upgrade/
Anyway, I’ve been experimenting with CSS 3 and I cannot wait till all the main browsers have full support for it. I found this demo here http://www.fofronline.com/experiments/clock/#clock for a CSS3 analogue clock and decided to try make my own.
Here it is:
It’s an analogue clock that is created using nothing but CSS, not even images. There is some JavaScript but that’s only there to to find out what the time is.
Compatible browsers: Google Chrome, Safari 4
