Restorations

I’m currently doing a lot of these restoration jobs as I’m compiling a great deal of old family photos into a book for my nan and grandad from Christmas.

It’s going to be great but they’re very time consuming! This one is my great great great grandma Nancy Jackson in Bradford c.1900.

To Russia, with love…

I’ve spent all day Today taking the photos for the knife magazine that I talked about the other day, I think they’ve come out quite nicely!

I’ve sent them off to Russia and hopefully I will be sent a copy of the magazine once it comes out so I’ll be able to see them in print.

I did six altogether, these are the four main ones:

Updates

Uploaded new ‘cherry’ style to replace the aging desert one! I wanted to do something more graphic-designy but, basically, I don’t know anything about graphic design. So, the central point is another photograph, or rather a silly triptych (which I did take).

Ubuntu CRON weirdness

Hrm, this is odd! I’ve been trying to work out on and off all week why a scheduled daily backup script won’t run on the new Ubuntu web server.

Added a large tutorial on managing a domain using DDNS to computing section.

Site is ready for a new design, if only I was better at graphic design…
