Day 23 – Apophis checks out his clean viv

Cyberspice — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 22:54:08 +0000

I cleaned the snakes’ vivariums out. Although I check for poo regularly they’re very good at hiding it. So I regularly change all the bedding material. It can smell quite horrible.

Day 22 – No photo

Cyberspice — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 22:53:10 +0000

It was such a busy day that I woke the following day and realised that, disappointly, I had no photo. So technically I have failed this goal but I will continue. I have a lot more days to go.

Day 21 – Learn to knit

Cyberspice — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 14:27:20 +0000

The sign outside of Baa Ram Ewe, an awesome knit shop in Headlingly, which holds a knitting group each Thursday. Lots of fun.

Day 20 – The Bradford Alhambra

Cyberspice — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 14:21:08 +0000

This is the Bradford Alhambra, a theatre in the centre of the city. Its covered in lights. I love lots of lights at night.

Day 19 – Starbuck’s Mug

Cyberspice — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 14:19:13 +0000

This is my Starbuck’s mug. It was a gift.

Day 18 – Part of the Velocity building

Cyberspice — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 14:11:41 +0000

This is part of the building in which I current work as seen from the window by my desk. Although only 20 years old and recently refurbished at a cost of millions to the tax payer it will not survive beyond a few more months. Yorkshire Forward, the QUANGO who own it, are selling it to property developers who, in a public/private partnership, are building new student accomodation for the university. All the tech companies that work in the building are going elsewhere as are the jobs. Incidentally Yorkshire Forward also own the old Bradford Odeon and want to pull that down too.

Day 17 – Circuit for an earring

Cyberspice — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 13:37:18 +0000

This circuit is going to be made up as one of a pair of earrings. Between the red and black wires goes a small button cell. The whole lot will be light and small enough to hang from an ear. The Mark II version will be made using surface mount parts and be even smaller.

Day 16 – Legwarmers

Cyberspice — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 13:08:40 +0000

You have to do something when you’re in bed ill. I finished knitting my legwarmers. I love the multi-colour yarns you get these days. This project was chosen so that I could learn using double pointed needles and knitting in the round.

Day 15 – Too ill!

Cyberspice — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 13:07:20 +0000

I slept most of the day due to illness. So there’s no photograph for Friday 15, January 2010.

Day 14 – My desk at home

Cyberspice — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 17:32:29 +0000

I’m still not well so this is my desk at home. The large monitor is connected to a Linux PC and my MacBook (Pro-lite). When using the Mac I use the Mac’s screen for IM, Skype, IRC and Twitter clients; and the main screen for ‘work’. The monitor also supports composite and S-Video connections suitable for older games consoles. It’s also a USB hub so I just plug everything in to the monitor. I can see the sceen from my bed making it ideal for watching TV and movies in bed!
