I’ve moved Urban Art from my 5-minute coding job over to Wordpress. I’ve had to do quite a bit of hacking around with Wordpress and I’ve customised the image upload admin page considerably. Hopefully this will make it easier and quicker for me to upload new pictures as they come in. I still have to do a bit more tweaking but it will be much more scalable for the future, as the site expands, and it allows for many more future features.

post a commentThis site of Nintendo tat for the NES brought lots of childhood memories back. I used to go to my friend Marks house almost every day after school and play for hours on his NES. He had one way before me and had awesome games like Duck Hunt (stupid dog…) and MegaMan. Fun Times.
In the current warm weather I have to run my PC with both sides off, lying on its side with a fan pointed at it:
Awesome, totally up there with Spiderman 2 in the brilliant comic book movie list. There is a lot of story before batman becomes the batman we know, kicking ass in Gotham City. It’s all good though as this mostly involves ninja training, more ninjas and amazing scenery in the far east. Christian Bale is pretty awesome as the Bat and he certainly looks the part with his chiselled looks. The casting of other characters is also great; Michael Caine as Alfred, Morgan Freeman as the bat weapons expert and Rutger Hauer as the evil company chairman. The batmobile in this movie is quite a change from the streamlined, sleak versions of earlier movies. It’s more like a souped-up tank, which kicks ass :). The only downsides were Bale’s silly “batman voice” and the lack of the original batman theme.
Blimey it’s busy on here tonight…anyway, photos from the Common Riding last weekend are up for your viewing pleasure.
Thank you to everyone who clicked through my threadless links and bought something! Last week I had enough points for a free t-shirt and picked this beauty:
A fantastic blog written by a guy stationed in Antarctica on the Brunt Ice Shelf, at one of the British research stations. I spend ages just flicking through his gallery of photos.

Needless to say, the submission queue over on GGSS is creaking under the flood of new (non-US) submissions. Maybe now people will stop emailing us saying “you guys suck, how come you don’t have maps for country X” 
Yesterday was my 24th birthday and Kerry took me out for a very nice dinner at the Tower, the swanky restaurant above the National Museum. We’ve been in the past and it has always been great but very expensive, so it’s saved for special occasions. I have some lovely carrot, corriander and ginger soup to start and then beef strips in a mustard, vegetable and lentil sauce with rice. It was very nice and I was surprisingly full after it. Kerry had mushroom soup and a smoked haddock and spinach penne pasta dish which smelt fantastic and tasted good aswell (when I manged to steal bits). Kerry, of course, had to have a chocolately dessert while I settled for just a strong coffee. It was a really good evening and thankfully the restaurant had huge opening windows as it was a humid summer evening.
