Just thought I'd add a quick note to wish everybody a happy bank holiday weekend. It's a shame the weather is cooler again after the past few weekes of warm sunshine but I'm sure we'll still make the most of it. Headed out last night to see the latest Avengers film - Age of Ultron. We both enjoyed it and were back quite late last night so had a slightly later morning. Not sure what to do with the rest of the day at the moment - it looks like the sun is having a go at coming out so might just go for a bit of a wander.

Added a couple more updates to the site although sadly nothing visible. I updated security and error handling (yawn) which hopefully should just make the site a bit more robust. Also added some inheritance to the code controlling much of the processing on the website which again just makes things a bit more secure and easier to maintain. Finally just updated the blog front page so that it will always load the most recent blogs even if I havent added anything in the last month.

I still need to finish off the album code so that I can finally add pictures again, although I haven't decided how I want this to work. I currently store images in a database rather than as files on the server and can't decide if I want to change this. I also haven't enabled any user accounts, so sadly unless you were a member way back when and can remember your login details, you won't be able to access anything apart from the public blogs and images. I suggest looking back at the 2007 blogs, which is where most of the content is. 

Maybe in the summer I'll get some of my raspberry pi content together and start putting that up here . . there's quite a few projects to write about from scalextric lap timers and control, to robot arms, IR tranceivers and autonomous video streaming tanks and cars.

Until then enjoy . . 

It's half term at last, it's been a really busy one getting coursework sorted and the exams have started. We didn't really have a lot planned for the break as we were buying a house - which fell through last week so have spent the week catching up with some sleep and family. It was great to see everyone and have a bit of time to relax before we're back in the middle of exam season next week. I've added a few photos of National Trust Cannons Ashby which we visited with Dani's parents. Enjoy!
