QRFlickr demo
QRFlickr is a Greasemonkey script i wrote that enables you to easily transfer photos from Flickr to your mobile phone. It's a technology demo that has many applications other than this!

Raining indoors at Hack Day London
Lightning hit, electrics died, fire alarms were alarmed and the roof opened up. Of course, when there's lightning there's rain. and when the roof opens up it starts to rain inside. and the hundreds of laptops almost become doorstops.. ack! To their credit, the organisers handled the situation and we were back to normal soon..

Sep 23, 2009: Picnic '09 at Westergasfabriek
This will be the fourth Picnic at the same location in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. So far, I personally thought the event in 2007 was the best, with the 2008 event being more commercial than the grass-roots feeling of previous years....more marketing people than before.
The magic word that Picnic needs to think about in 2009 is focus, perhaps cutting the number of parallel events which distract from the main conference. Videos of the 2007/8 festivals are now up on the Picnic website if you want to get a feel for it. The only clouds on the horizon are their constant drive for growth and the fact that very little is free anymore. Money is going to be extremely tight this year, so I personally hope it doesn't try to become a film festival, but keeps its focus on emerging media. I also hope they put more effort into improving the navigation of the Picnic website. It becomes very chaotic around the time of the conferences. Agree?
May 1, 2010: Expo 2010 - World Fair at Shanghai
Expo 2010 will be held in Shanghai, China and is a scheduled World's Fair in the grand tradition of international fairs and expositions. The theme of the exposition will be "Better City – Better Life" and signifies Shanghai's new status in the 21st century as a major economic and cultural center. It is expected to generate the largest number of visitors in the history of the world's fairs in terms of gross numbers, although it will have a tough time matching the per capita visit rate of the 1967 Montreal World's Fair, attended by 50 million people at a time when Canada's total population was a mere 20 million.
The event is tentatively scheduled to be held from 1 May 2010 – 31 October 2010.
Apr 24, 2009: Critical Mass Brighton bike ride at The Level
Critical Mass Brighton
Free mass bike ride through the heart of Brighton & Hove
Celebrating cycling and promoting a fun, healthy, sustainable alternative to petrol-dependant transport.
Bring bikes, lights and noise!
The ride meets at the Level on the last Friday of every month at 6pm.
Jul 25, 2009: Low Tide Sunrise Bike Ride at King Alfred Leisure Centre
Note: Although there is a lower tide on 11 February, I've decided not to organise a ride then as it'll be too cold. I also want to take a short break to renew my enthusiasm for the event.
Fun cycle dash over the exposed sand flats during one of the
lowest tides of the year. The ride goes along the beach from the King Alfred Centre in Hove to Brighton Marina and beyond (note ride start location and direction – it has varied!), or as far as you and your bike can make it.
The ride will set off 15-30 minutes after meeting, so as to catch the lowest tide and the sunrise.
Following August 2007's Low Tide Naked Critical Mash-Up bike ride, the event is clothing-optional.
Time and tide wait for no-one, so if you can't make it to the start, join us en route.
We often go for a skinny-dip in the sea at the end of the ride.
Bring bikes, waterproofs, warm clothes, towels and lights. Remember to thoroughly wash the salt and sand off your bike afterwards. If you're worried about using your own bike, pick a scrap one up from a skip.
Previous rides have taken place on:
21 September 2005
18 October 2005
2 March 2006
10 September 2006
