The best laid plans come apart at the seams…
…shatter my dreams. There are some phrases destined to make the heart skip a beat and one of them is “well, why don’t you come to my father’s chateau in Nice for New Year’s?”. Sadly, flights are stupidly expensive (crisis? what crisis?) and points taking half a day via insane places. Next time… Related Posts:No [...]
The Perl Foundation Migrates the Perl 5 Development Repository to the Git Version Control System
In an unusual burst of tuits I put the press release on PRWeb. It’ll be interesting to see the pickup rate. Good practice for when the perl6 release goes out Related Posts:No Related Posts
Dinner.
Dinner.Originally uploaded by davehodg We excelled ourselves tonight. Barbecued ribs (48hour marinade), má pó tofu, kai lam with last night’s sesame, soy and vinegar dip. Oh, and fluffy rice from the £9.50 rice cooker from Argos. Yummy. Related Posts:No Related Posts

Canon 5D MkII test day
It came as a bit of a surprise when, as a mildly bigoted Nikonian, I was asked along with a few other photo bloggers to spend the day with the shiny new Canon 5D MkII last week. What follows is a mostly objective review with a few comparisons to my D300 and current baby, the [...]

Perl is dead
Ovid blogs here about the death of perl. OK, so the quoted survey is flawed. How about numbers off jobstats? SQL 15.1%C# 6.3%Java 5.7%JavaScript 4.5%C++ 4.2%C 3.4%PHP 2.9%VB 2.5%Perl 1.6%Python 0.7%Ruby 0.5%Delphi 0.5% Not looking a very healthy parrot there either. Related Posts:No Related Posts
Testing the Canon 5D Mk2…
On Thursday I will be privileged to spend a day with Canon testing the Canon 5D Mk2. As a Nikonian myself, they might be taking a risk with this I’ll try to be fair. However, lazywebs: is there anything you want to know about it? Anything you’d like me to test? Requests in the comments [...]

Taylor Wessing Photography Prize exhibition at the NPG
I was going to write a long and rambling rave review of this exhibition but The Times did it for me. I’ll add a couple of things: 1. It didn’t piss me off. This is important. I have a visceral reaction to other people’s pictures and this exhibition, like the Tillmans, made me smile. 2. [...]

High Holborn night
High Holborn nightOriginally uploaded by davehodg Last night was the first of my “Photographing London” course. I signed up mostly to get out of a rut. I’ve been doing plenty of sessions and some portraiture but was feeling stuck. I’m embracing being a “Londoner”, have been doing lots out and about like the museums and [...]
London Expo
London ExpoOriginally uploaded by davehodg A very weird experience. All that pent-up sexual energy going into dressing up as things with pointy ears. What was more bizarre was the Muslim even going on at the Excel at the same time. Hijab as cosplay anyone? Very confusing. Related Posts:No Related Posts

Nokia launch thing.
Nokia have a new flagship shop on Regents Street. It’s cool but no as cool as the Apple store. They launched something tonight and whilst the cocktails were nice, the nibbles cool and the catering staff (big up to the unfortunately named Mange crew) excellent, it totally failed to engage me. What was it FOR? [...]

Heavy Metal in Baghdad
Just got back from seeing Heavy Metal in Baghdad at the ICA. If you have any RAWK in you soul you must see this movie. The story of four guys with metal in their souls trying to ply their trade as the only metal band in war-torn Iraq is deeply moving and left me wanting [...]
Jimmy Doherty’s Farm Food and Wine @ Vinopolis
Thanks to those lovely people at Londonist I was able to procure a couple of tickets to the above session. My companion was French andhas spent many years in Taiwan and China so could easily be described as a foodie. Apparently Jimmy Doherty is some kind of TV pig-breeding good farming evenagelist type, but not [...]

God: a modest proposal
Here’s a proposal: Before all kinds of religious people start imposing their morals on us, everything from opening hours to censorship, from creationism to wars, could you all, and I mean you Jews, Christians and Muslims on behalf of the Abrahamic faiths, just get together and agree on *one* version of the truth between you.
