Chavasse Park Ride
Wednesday, November 10th, 2010Over the last few days a giant column has risen from Chavasse Park in Liverpool One. Tonight the ride that goes up it swung into action for the first time. We can just hear the screams from our office. It seemed like a good subject for having a go at some night photography. This is […]
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 […]
Experimenting with Feedburner
Thursday, October 28th, 2010I’ve moved the Too Many Ideas RSS over to Feedburner mostly to get a better idea of what Feedburner has to offer. 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 […]
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.
Are Zombies Past their Sell by Date?
Thursday, October 7th, 2010Now a few years ago a famous game designer pointed out that all successful RPGs include zombies. I think it was Robin D Laws but I could be wrong. This was extended by others to suggest that a game could be made a success by including zombies. Back then zombies were the preserve of horror […]
Do Ho Suh's Between, Liverpool
Wednesday, October 6th, 2010Do Ho Suh’s Between is one of the larger pieces in the Liverpool Biennial 2010. Its on a slightly smaller scale to Rotating Yates’s Wine Lodge Building but only just. I’ve seen quite a few similar photographs to the one above on newspaper websites. I decided to take a closer look because the level of […]
Works in Progress Update
Sunday, October 3rd, 2010I realised I’d not posted a progress report on any of my writing for ages. Its far too easy to update twitter and forget to mention stuff here. I finished a completely rewritten draft of the Role Playing Game that’s been occupying a lot of my writing time for the last year. The plan was […]
