Some scary abuse-of-power stuff here… The Private Police State Nope, it’s nothing to do with protesting in Parliament Square or marching through Westminster or taking photos of police snipers. It’s about transgressing the arbitrary social code of a bunch of third-party train ticket inspectors. I hadn’t been aware of Rail Enforcement Officers until a couple [...]

Lazy Easter

It’s a little outdated now (Canon have updated that subsection of the [...]

Great news from Vancouver-based photo hosting community Flickr… the long-promised Pro Account is now active! It’s officially only in beta stage at the moment, but when this works out (including the 30% beta discount) at around £46 for two years, I’m not complaining. A couple of clicks on PayPal “confirm” buttons and there we go… [...]
