Live at the Apollo

June 9, 2009 10:09pm UTC 1 Comment

I popped in the the old Apollo video shop on Norwood Road last weekend. Great to see a creative reuse of a shop that has been empty for a long while. A group of locals have got together to create a creative festival of art, film, music and performance thoughout the month of June. I got a little taster when a guy turned up with a guitar.

For more on the project see the liveattheapollo.org website and watch the opening night video from @warriorgrrl

'Not allowed to film' your own

Last Tuesday I attended the Lambeth Schools Music Festival at the Royal Festival Hall to hear my son sing as part of the Infant Schools Choir. I manged to get this clip before being told I 'wasn't allowed to film' by festival hall staff as were many other parents with their mobile phones and cameras in ...

The Bottling

My perfect x61 Intrepid setup

The upgrade from Ubuntu Hardy (8.04) to Intrepid (8.10) on my Lenovo ThinkPad x61 was easy and took about an hour. Then there are a few things to get working again... Enable the middle 'mouse' button Apparently Intrepid switches to evdev for X server input so instead of modifying your xorg.conf like in Hardy, create a ...

Apple Press

Every year I see apples left to waste and rot either on trees in back gardens or on the ground. This bothers me, I'd love to have apple trees but my garden is too small. I also make cider but over the last few years haven't had a good souce of apples. [thanks to mexicanwave for ...

Fight for your six seconds

There is a proposal afoot in London to reduce the time given for pedestrians to cross at traffic by 6 seconds. This is madness, I am a young(ish) man and on some crossings I have barely enough time to get to the other side before the lights go green again for cars. How will this affect ...

Right of way?

I walk to school every morning with my six year old on his bike. On the road the school is on nearly every house has ripped up it's front garden and replaced with a concreted drive, every two metres you have to cross one. This has replaced over 50% of pavement with a car-way. Less than ...

"Yours to read for just £2.50"

I travel on Ryanair more than any other aeroline (I don't travel on any other aeroline) and this just about sums it up.... Taken from http://passitonmedia.co.uk/blog/2009/03/how-not-to-do-social-media-the-ryanair-way/

Twestival Volunteering

I thought it had been a while since I last volunteered so when a volunteer to look after the London Twestival blog was sought via Twitter it seemed like a perfect opportunity that I could do mainly online. The Twestival or Twitter Festival involved people who use Twitter connecting offline to network and catch up socially. ...

TweetDeck on Hardy Heron 64bit

Yesterday was my first attendance at the Tuttle Club which I've been wanting to go to for months but haven't managed til now. The morning exceeded all my expectations and I had some great conversations catching up with old friends, meeting some of my online contacts in meatspace for the first time and making some totally ...
