As there’s a few scans of really old photos being uploaded to the St Bertelines School facebook group, I thought I’d ask my mum to try and dig out some old photos.  This weekend she dug out a newspaper clipping from back when the school first opened.

I’ve scanned the photo in and uploaded it to facebook, but as facebook tends to restrict the dimensions of uploaded images I’ve attached the full size image to this blog post for your viewing pleasure

This scan was taken from the Friday May 13th 1983 edition of the Runcorn World newspaper.

Enjoy!

I’ve finally got round to updating my Gallery with a pile of photos I had on my camera, including last night’s amazing Kylie gig.

• Kylie – Live at Newcastle Metro Radio Arena (Photos and Video!)
• Leelas PGCE Graduation
• Simons Leaving Night Out
• Trip to Amsterdam

More photos to come, when I get round to sorting them out…

Enjoy!

Yes!…  At Last!…

This evening I decided I should pick up my guitar and practice some more.  To my horror I discovered that I’ve managed to damage the nut, so one of the strings rattles around horribly

I now need to find the time to locate someone local who can do a nice repair job.  Any recommended repair shops in the Newcastle area?

Andy Quested has just posted an interesting entry on the BBC Internet blog called “How to start an HD channel from scratch“:

I can only image the conversations John Zubrzycki (BBC Research) had with set top box manufactures in late December:

John:

“We are going to do a trial of HD on digital terrestrial and need to develop a set top box”

Manufacturer:

“Great, we can get our development team across it. What’s your timescale and how many units do you need?”

John:

“Well it would be good to have say 500 for a trial in June”

Manufacturer:

“June, that’s June 2008?”

John:

“No, this June – in time for the World Cup.”

That was probably followed by the sound of the phone going down!

Head over and read the full article if this kind of thing tickles your fancy…

There’s an annoying bug in Google Reader that causes the unread article count to increment before you’re actually able to view the article.

Eg:

The problem first reared its ugly head a few months back, with it happening more frequently over the past week or so.

Is it just me, or is it annoying the hell out of anyone else too?
