The Effect Of The Time Change

By Surferbill - Last updated: Sunday, March 25, 2007

Here’s another interesting part of my 6am project. Last night we moved into British Summer Time and the clocks went forward an hour. That means that today’s 6am photo looks like yesterday at 5am, and today’s 7am looks like yesterday at 6am. This is best reflected in the 6am gallery. Compare the 6am photo from [...]

Broken Link Checkers

By Surferbill - Last updated: Thursday, March 22, 2007

As previously mentioned, I’m looking for an online program that will check my site for broken links, both internally and externally. I’ve tried a couple now but not got the reports I wanted.

By Surferbill - Last updated: Thursday, March 15, 2007

When I started my 6am project one of the things I expected the photos to show was how the mornings become lighter. Right now the 7am gallery shows just this. Compare the photo from the 1st February with the one from 1st March. What a difference a month makes.

iPods Take Over The World

I’ve just seen a mother and daughter walking down the street together. Daughter was on the left, listening to her iPod with just her left earbud. Mother was on the right, with her iPod in just her right ear. Neither were talking to each other. Is it just me, or does this bring antisocialism to [...]

6am

By Surferbill - Last updated: Saturday, January 6, 2007

I am pleased to announce my latest project, 6am. 6am is a series of photos taken in the same place at the same time every day. Though it may be quite dark and boring now, my expectation is that over a period of time you will be able to see the changes in daylight hours, [...]

Still alive

By Surferbill - Last updated: Friday, August 25, 2006

Just a quick post to let you know I’m still alive, the move to England went well, I have a new car and a new flat but no telephone and no broadband, hence the lack of update here. More once I’m fully up and running!
