The Life and Times of James R J Constable

Recently me and my good lady took a trip to Barcelona.  One of the highlights (for me anyway - if not for her) was a wee trip to Camp Nou - home of F.C. Barcelona.

What with the troubles of having a job and having a life i’ve never quite got round to getting my custom blog engine to an acceptable level so i’ve decided just to install Wordpress and be damned.  I had a brief flirtation with Chyrp but support and updates for that were looking pretty iffy so i decided that i needed some stable and had the features i needed.

So here we are

Steven vs Godzilla won 2 bronze awards at The Roses advertising awards on Thursday night just past. Well done to the oceanseventy kids as well as Eddy who did the illustration and Joe who filmed the live action.

I’ve killed comments for now. I was getting stupid amounts of spam and the Akismet plugin for Chyrp doesn’t seem to work. Other antispam methods are needed.

Molly on the Daily Kitten

My better half nominated Molly for the Daily Kitten over at dailykitten.com and lo and behold she was the featured kitten for April 1st.

Those who’ve been following my Flickr stream will be well aware that we now have a kitten.

The email / short film we created at oceanseventy has been nominated in two categories in the Roses Advertising Awards this year. Which we’re all quite happy about. Even it is just because it gives us an excuse to take the afternoon off and head to Manchester! Its been nominated in the Best House Advert/Self Promotion and Low Budget categories so fingers crossed we’ll do well.

The Highland Fling

Oddly named (considering its not in the Highlands) web conference happening in Edinburgh in April. Main focus this year is “Beyond the Browser”.

Well i’m almost there.. all the previous posts have now been converted to the Chyrp database format. Comments still need to be dragged along as well and i need to set up the lightbox display for each image so for the moment when you pop up the large version its pretty ugly.

So close…

Edit: Comments are back! I also have to hook up feedburner to pointer at the new feed.. i think thats where everyone is pointed
