It's a seven and a half mile journey and today it took an hour and a half. I managed to get some video of the event - not much because I had to concentrate, but a little. The unedited footage can be found on the movies page here.]]>ian@eruvia.orgSite2006-12-27T02:25:18+00:00http://www.eruvia.org/news/files/5b905e783e066d3f9d648ddb78f573d9-13.html#unique-entry-id-13http://www.eruvia.org/news/files/5b905e783e066d3f9d648ddb78f573d9-13.html#unique-entry-id-13I'm playing with a new Rapidweaver plugin, Carousel. This useful tool gives me a new manner of presenting photos, and also allows custom styles. To try this out, I've created a gallery for a rainbow which appeared outside our house in September 2006. The gallery uses the Carousel plugin and the VerySimple style found on this page.

We've spent hours on it now - really enjoying it. Definitely a change from the sedentary style of playing and it can get really quite tiring if you put enough effort in. There's a video of Sarah & Peter playing baseball on our movies page, it's a longish video at 7 minutes, but you get the idea quite fast.]]>ian@eruvia.orgPersonal2006-08-04T17:30:41+01:00http://www.eruvia.org/news/files/e25a8415880421a39dd83faef4778fca-11.html#unique-entry-id-11http://www.eruvia.org/news/files/e25a8415880421a39dd83faef4778fca-11.html#unique-entry-id-11We were up in Edinburgh on the 27th to the 29th, to see the marriage of Alan and Mae Lynn at Dundas Castle. Some photos can be found here.]]>ian@eruvia.orgPersonal2006-07-20T01:19:31+01:00http://www.eruvia.org/news/files/c4855951d1accb53b8ad28b39cca4a0d-8.html#unique-entry-id-8http://www.eruvia.org/news/files/c4855951d1accb53b8ad28b39cca4a0d-8.html#unique-entry-id-8I recently bought a copy of Logic Express, and have been playing with it by reworking an old track of mine (by old, I mean about ten years old). The result is The Mystic, now playing on the music page.]]>ian@eruvia.orgKids2006-07-16T13:40:10+01:00http://www.eruvia.org/news/files/a44cdc1e9e80ec029711c0004b23c2ba-7.html#unique-entry-id-7http://www.eruvia.org/news/files/a44cdc1e9e80ec029711c0004b23c2ba-7.html#unique-entry-id-7Sarah and I went for a walk along the Thames on Saturday, starting from Higginson Park near Court Garden and going as far as Temple Lock - a big walk for a four year-old. Some photos are here - study the leaves carefully, can you see the dragonfly in both of them?]]>ian@eruvia.orgKids2006-07-14T08:12:34+01:00http://www.eruvia.org/news/files/e3623b265bc1ef0c30d1f6552896982b-6.html#unique-entry-id-6http://www.eruvia.org/news/files/e3623b265bc1ef0c30d1f6552896982b-6.html#unique-entry-id-6It's been open evening at Sarah's new school, Burford. She's very excited about going there, and keeps trying to put her uniform on. The school seems very nice from looking around - the classrooms are fine and filled with the children's work, and the playing area outside is exceptional with a large surfaced area for sports and also field areas. The whole place adjoins woodland, making it look very attractive too.]]>ian@eruvia.orgKids2006-07-14T08:07:49+01:00http://www.eruvia.org/news/files/757c7f73bec39e6e97fb07f388b4800c-5.html#unique-entry-id-5http://www.eruvia.org/news/files/757c7f73bec39e6e97fb07f388b4800c-5.html#unique-entry-id-5Matthew has been crawling for a couple of weeks now, and is also trying to pull himself up to stand. Naturally there have been a few accidents along the way, but nothing terrible. We've held off taking photos of Matthew due to his previous illness, but now things have cleared up and so here are a few shots.]]>ian@eruvia.orgSite2006-06-24T18:19:30+01:00http://www.eruvia.org/news/files/cdf923934f9a8210940147a76255015a-4.html#unique-entry-id-4http://www.eruvia.org/news/files/cdf923934f9a8210940147a76255015a-4.html#unique-entry-id-4OK - pretty much back together. The photos section is looking a bit sparse to say the least, but it will build up over time. I've rejigged all the URLs since the last time as well - makes things look an awful lot better, no more page10/page10.html nonsense. The annoying thing is that the RSS feed URL has changed, but it's only the once and the site wasn't being regularly updated before this.]]>ian@eruvia.orgSite2006-06-24T10:40:48+01:00http://www.eruvia.org/news/files/6675561582511777364e1a2945621d7f-3.html#unique-entry-id-3http://www.eruvia.org/news/files/6675561582511777364e1a2945621d7f-3.html#unique-entry-id-3Site recreated after hard drive crash]]>ian@eruvia.orgSite2006-06-11T03:20:00+01:00http://www.eruvia.org/news/files/0b88bb2e853cd153dc4e6fe8b7ffb67b-2.html#unique-entry-id-2http://www.eruvia.org/news/files/0b88bb2e853cd153dc4e6fe8b7ffb67b-2.html#unique-entry-id-2The redesign for this place is not yet complete. Because of this, a few things available on the old site are not currently available on the new - mostly old photographs and movies of the children. This will be replaced over the coming days...look here for news of what's happening.]]>ian@eruvia.orgSite2006-06-11T02:05:00+01:00http://www.eruvia.org/news/files/f236858b0d65f706c69bd9e5608eee99-1.html#unique-entry-id-1http://www.eruvia.org/news/files/f236858b0d65f706c69bd9e5608eee99-1.html#unique-entry-id-1A brand new look for eruvia.org]]>
