Eye Photography

Whilst doing some maintenance I realised the old slideshow was still on the server, think I’ll leave it for a while, may even add to it in the future as some people like to have a choice on how to view photographs.

If you do want to listen to the song again once it’s finished, just press the space bar twice and it will restart.

The ‘Login’ button will now take you to the current ‘Picture Library’.

Someone mentioned to me a while ago that it seemed slow, it’s meant to be slow, it’s meant to be looked at and not browsed through, take a 5 min break, grab a coffee, and relax!

Slideshow

Had an email from Jamie with an update of what’s going on this year:

• Saturday 21st October. 4pm till late at the Moor Top Pub in Heaton Moor.
• This event is the first of three monthly party/mini festivals to take place before Christmas.
• Anyone who gets this: If they are Press can they give it as much publicity as possible. This is from the makers of Moorfest so is always charity related. As always we have a strong association with Prostate Cancer, But on the day of this event the 3 local charities from around Heaton Moor will have Stalls that people can purchase bits and pieces from: Sue Ryder, Cerebral Palsy and Childrens Society are the other charities involved.
• This is for all the people who are missing Moorfest this year. Just to let you know this event is the first of 3 ‘Moorfestier’ Mini-fests planned before Christmas. The other Party’s happen second weekend in November and second weekend in December both on a Saturday day/night. We will keep you posted!!
• Other important info: Moorfestier chefs will be putting on a massive BBQ for all you lovely people under the cover of 2 small marquees. Lots of straw bales and cheap beer guaranteed! Also, because it’s the launch Party we’re charging you a special price of £4 on the door (Get there early)!! Trust me you do not want to miss out on this one!! It’s going to be a blinder!!! All the fun of a festival under a couple of roofs!!

He mentioned this to me a while ago and it’s very good news they have got things going again, they work hard at getting these events up and running for no personal gain, nice one Jamie and Dave.

Contact Jamie at ‘moorfest [at] hotmail [dot] co [dot] uk’ for more info.

If you use RSS feeds and use OSX then may I suggest trying:

Vienna

Vienna is a freeware, open source RSS/Atom newsreader for the Mac OS X operating system. It provides features comparable to commercial newsreaders, but both it and the source code are freely available for download.

I’m a great advocate of open source software (This site is run by OS software) as it’s ongoing development is way ahead of most (if not all) commercial software available and apart from being ‘free’ has thousands of ‘users’ as developers/testers, not something software companies have available for testing their own releases.

Two things I like is that it shows any images in new feeds and has a built in browser (based on Safari web engine) so you don’t even need to open any browser to check the content, all good, all for free.

Enjoy !
