Derelict Building Detail, Duke Street, Liverpool
Thursday, November 4th, 2010This Wordless Wednesday’s a day late because of the Burke and Hare post. Most of the pictures I post on my blog of Liverpool are of interesting buildings that are reasonably well looked after. Having lived here for nearly twenty years I’ve seen a lot of miss-representation of the city in the national media. I’ve […]
Burke and Hare Review
Wednesday, November 3rd, 2010I’ll keep this short because Burke and Hare doesn’t have a lot to be said about it. Pegg and Serkis make an interesting pair in the title roles and had some chemistry but they are left to carry the film. Fisher and Hynes aren’t bad as the respective character’s love interest and wife. Unfortunately their […]
RED – Retired Extremely Dangerous – Review
Saturday, October 30th, 2010RED (Retired Extremely Dangerous) probably won’t appeal to everyone but I really enjoyed it. I’ve made no secret that RED (Retired Extremely Dangerous) was a film I wanted to see since the teaser trailer turned up on You Tube. Even once I’d read some reviews that compared it to rotten vegetables I still wanted to […]

The existing feed is still there and will carry on working but if you want to try the new feed you can subscribe to it on: http://feeds.feedburner.com/impworks The first added extra using feedburner […]
The magical Temple of a Thousand Bells
Wednesday, October 27th, 2010I walked from work to Liverpool’s Anglican cathedral to see Laura Belém’s Temple of a Thousand Bells which is in the Oratory in St James’ Cemetary as part of the Liverpool Biennial 2010. The work consists of a thousand hand-blown glass bells suspended on nylon string through a gently glowing ceiling. An 8 minute polyphonic piece of music by Fernando Rocha including many different bell sounds fills the room. Really beautiful work. I just wish I’d had more than fifteen minutes to experience it.
Vue Python: GetFirstHitObject Tutorial
Sunday, October 24th, 2010I’ve been meaning to write some tutorials on writing Vue’s Python for awhile. The obvious place to start would be with some basic stuff. I will get to some of those eventually. First though one is a short tutorial on Vue’s GetFirstHitObject. I get more Emails about this than any other function. Hopefully this will […]
Every Shop Window is a Soap Box, 2010
Wednesday, October 20th, 2010Renshaw Street in Liverpool has been the home of Rapid Hardware all the time I’ve lived here. It took up so many of the shops along one side of the street that it was commonly known as Rapid Hardware Street. When they moved into the old George Henry Lee’s / John Lewis building it left […]

Should I see The Social Network?
Saturday, October 9th, 2010Most films I can make a pretty straightforward decision if I want to see them or not. I find myself with a bit of a dilema with The Social Network. It goes like this… Its a film about Facebook 🙁 Its written by Aaron Sorkin 🙂 Its a film about Facebook 🙁 Its written by […]
Vue Python Script Pages, Links Directory and Search Updated
Friday, October 8th, 2010I’ve tweaked the display of the Vue links directory and the Google custom search of the site’s in the directory to hopefully make them easier to use. I’ve also worked through all the python script and so they’re all displayed with a code highlighter.
