I've recently done a bit of work with Nigel on the Delphic Consulting website. He did all the pretty bits, I made some dhtml stuff work. We got a write up on Wired Sussex today

We went to see Whale Rider this afternoon at the Duke of Yorks. A beautiful, moving film, and served to the accompaniment of free Ben and Jerrys ice cream. What could be better. Big thanks to the Vic, Kaye, Jeremy and Rachel for recommending it to us.

This evening was my first visit of the year to the Brighton and Hove Camera Club. Our speaker this evening was John Devenport showing prints on the theme of "Monochrome Images". Some of them were very impressive, although I must be honest and say that he showed far too many photos for my taste - by the end of the evening I was suffering with a numb bum - one of the perils of sitting on the cheap seats at the back of the room. Despite that a very inspiring presentation, and it has made me want to go and get the camera out and start taking some more photos.

We seem to have a date for the next Brighton Bloggers meetup. It's going to be on Thursday 2nd October, at Riki Tiks, kicking off from 7pm. Check the blog for any updates, and probably a list of who is planning to be there.

We went to see Calendar Girls last night, and were very amused by it. I took a look at the official site this morning and am really amused by the amount of air brushing that has gone on with the main picture... I mean, really, the idea of this film is that a group of wrinklies get their kit off for a charity calendar - it's not meant to be that glam.

We went to see The Treason Show at Komedia last night. Its a satirical, topical sketch based show and was pretty funny. It was good to go and see some live comedy again, especially in the lead up to the Brighton Comedy Festival next month.

Oooh, it's already started snowing at Big White (where we're going snowboarding next year).

Yesterday I was in London for Modular 2003, which I think is fair to summarize as a conference for music geeks to talk shop. The photos are from the "Analog Modular Room Installation", but I also managed to catch some interesting talks: improvising swarms, artificial music, a demo from Clavia and some whacky ideas for new instruments.

Hello Richard,
The Analogue room was my input to the conference.
I was wondering if you have any other pictures from Modular 2003, particularly of the analogue room?
My camera crapped out and it seems that getting some from Per the organiser may take a while.
I hope you can help.
Many thanks
David

- Alas, that's the only two I took.

Blueeyes Magazine // Issue 04 has a couple of photo essays remembering September 11th 2001. Some of the photos are ones I've seen before, some are new. All are impressive.

And another M$ rant... I'm using SQL Server, and I want to (programatically) change the next identity for a new record in a table. So, I use the DBCC CheckIdent command. If no records have ever been inserted into the table, then I use DBCC CheckIdent ([tablename], RESEED,[number I want the next record to have]). However, if records have been inserted then I need to use DBCC CheckIdent ([tablename], RESEED, [number I want the next record to have] +1). What a load of pants!

My office pc is running XP Professional, and one thing has been driving me mad - MSN Messenger version 4.7 insists on running and then telling me that it isn't a secure version. Finally, today I found a knowledge base article explaining how to turn it off. Yay!

I've just added a blog for Brighton Bloggers. It'll either get used to organise further meetups, or as a community blog... My first post explains how to register an interest in becoming a Brighton Blogger blogger.

On my journey to work this morning I was listening to the Mercury Music Prize 2003 CD, and I'm going to have to go and buy Permission to Land by The Darkness, as their track on the Mercury Prize CD really had me wanted to jump around. The Lemon Jelly track "Ramblin' Man" is also kind of interesting (from the Lost Horizons album), although it does remind me a lot of The Divine Comedy (not that that is a bad thing of course).

I've been doing some work with Nigel on a site he's designed, just doing some dhtml tinkering, and thought that before I started writing the code I'd see if I could find something that did at least some of what we wanted. Thanks to Dynamic Drive I've only had to make the content specific, everything else worked like a dream - across IE 6, Mozilla 1.4 and Safari 1. A pretty useful site, and some pretty useful code too.

I put up a new email address for Brighton Bloggers on Thursday evening, and today I received my first bit of spam to it.... from an email harvesting company. Pah!
On Thursday evening, Josh and I were discussing the idea of a SpamBlog, a blog that people can post their spam to. Okay, so it serves no real purpose, but we could publicise the email address and let spammers spam it directly, and cut out the middle man
Posted by Jane at 7:10 PM
- Oooo
I had this idea as well, didn't see where it would go either.

- I LOVE that idea!! pity so many spammers are spoofing email addresses these days.
