  • Journeyman Leather Belts
    Nice belts, handmade in Shetland.
  • BNP Members List Leaked - Complete details of all British National Party Members here!
    One member, a man from Pinner, that the press haven't picked up on, whose notes are just a trifecta of fail: "Former policeman. Lecturer in human rights/data protection."
  • RPX: Instant OpenID and Data Portability
    Lets you farm out authentication, so users can use their existing accounts on other services (Google, Yahoo!, Facebook, OpenID, etc.) to log in to your site.

    It's Hoder, who I know through MetaFilter.

  • GREY GARDENS ONLINE INFORMATION DATABASE
  • Mens Underwear and Male Underwear from Sunspel
    Nice T-shirts. As worn by Charlie Watts!

  • Art review: Richard Forster | Ruth Claxton - Scotland on Sunday
  • Choosy - A smarter default browser for Mac OS X
    ‘Forget the ‘default browser’, Choosy lets you open links in the browser you want. Just set up a few simple options and Choosy will do the right thing, whether that’s opening a browser or letting you pick from some or all of the browsers on your system.’ Great little utility.
  • The Snow Queen
    The Arches Christmas play, written by Megan, directed by Al (and I think Guy is doing the sound design too).
  • Easy Lifestreaming with SimplePie
  • Atheist Campaign
    Campaign to put nice adverts for atheism on London buses, reading ‘There’s probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life.’. (They raised ten times their original fundraising target on the first day!)
  • dotmac - Google Code
    A version of .Mac you host yourself - data sync, iDisk, Backup all work apparently. Doesn’t look too fiddly to install on a machine running Linux (you have to patch Apache, install a bunch of Perl modules) but there’s no easy way of installing. If they get that sorted, this could be really popular.
  • Riddley Walker Annotations
  • Savoy Records: Heroes
    I did not know that PJ Proby recorded a rendition of The Waste Land backed with a Varèse composition. Now that I do, I must own it!
  • Lexical Analysis of 2008 US Presidential and Vice-Presidiential Debates - Who’s the Windbag?
  • albam - clothes
    Interesting brand: plain and simple, mostly made in the UK, kind of Margaret Howell-ish.
  • Black Bird Fly(BBF-ブラックバードフライ)
    A gorgeous plastic-bodied TLR that shoots medium format-style square images on 35mm film. Looks like you can only get them in Japan, sadly.

  • Textism: Podswollop
    Most of the podcasts I listen to are actually radio programmes too. Or made by professional broadcasters. (Podcasting is a new mode of distribution, but it’s not a new medium.)
  • New: Video Comments On All TechCrunch Blogs
    This is the stupidest idea I’ve seen in a long time.
  • Print writing versus web writing « gilest
    I’d add "You probably get paid | You probably don’t’ ;-)
  • Documentary Section Announced - News - Edinburgh International Film Festival
    For whatever reason, it’s always the docs I see at the EIFF that stick in my mind. (And I’ll see way more this year - fuck August!)
  • radio for back up on Flickr - Photo Sharing!
    A Flickr user reports on being harrassed for (perfectly legally) taking a photo of a shop.
  • Made in Japan? | TABlog | Tokyo Art Beat
    "This discussion paper proposes that the medium of digital photography inherently displays qualities of Japanese aesthetics." Hmmn. No.
  • Twitter / DowningStreet
    The Prime Minister’s Office has a Twitter account - they get it, too: lots of replies to queries by other users.
  • LG Optical Drives - Model GSA-E50L
    Works well with the Eee. Shame it’s so ugly.
  • Welcome to Usb.brando.com.hk
    Portable USB DVD drive - pitched at the Eee/Air, but also says it’s Windows only (eh?!), unclear whether it’s bus powered or not.
  • Birkhill Castle
    Spent the day hanging out here, after a screening of Antonioni’s L’Eclisse. DCA know how to launch a show!
  • patrickrhone.com: (Re)Introducing Machine Methods
    Clever idea: Patrick’s business website is designed so that it can also serve as a printable brochure or folded mailout.
  • carrierdetect.com » Back Standard Time
    We’ll all be setting our watches to BAST before long. Probably. Photos here.
  • Anil Dash: Embedded Journalism
    "I’ve created a javascript embed tag at the bottom of every post on my blog, to let you embed the title, an excerpt of the post, and a list of commenters on the post in your own blog or site." Interesting idea.
  • Josh Millard . com » HURF DURF METAFILTER ANALYZER
    Disturbingly exhaustive examination of the phrase HURF DURF BUTTER EATER as used on MetaFilter, by cortex. (The fact that total asshat un owen introduced it to the site kind of takes the shine off.)
  • Mobile Computer - Asus Eee PC 900
    The more reviews of the 900 I read, the more I think of flogging my 701 on eBay and upgrading…
  • The Fridge Gallery
  • YouTube - Isosceles: Kitch Bitch
    Gerard directed this video for Isosceles (which is great fun, though I’m not terribly keen on the song.)

  • Epson R-D1: Sensor cleaning
    I need to do this - my pinhole bodycap has revealed quite a bit of dust on the sensor.
  • Through the Viewfinder: A Tutorial
    I assume this would be next to impossible with a rangefinder? I might try to cobble someting together involving an old twin lens reflex, a couple of close-up filters on my 50mm and a precisely-measured ‘smokestack contraption’. Or just take pinhole through-the-viewfinder photos for extra silliness.
  • Fire Eagle : Gallery - Getting Started
    There are now some Fire Eagle apps listed, a couple of which I’d not seen before. If anyone wants an invite, I have 4 going spare (it’s a potentially very useful service that lets you tell the web where you are).
  • cityofsound: Monocle: design notes
    Fascinating look at the design of Monocle’s site.
  • Can the Cellphone Help End Global Poverty?
    Piece profiling Jan Chipchase of Future Perfect fame.
  • Where have all the cheap, simple, low-cost, long-battery-life mobile computers gone? « gilest
    It seems to me that the ‘long-battery-life’ bit is the main problem. Why is battery technology so shit? (Or is it that screens, chips, etc. are too power hungry?)
  • Sunday Herald: Around The World In 80 DVDs
    Nice long-running world cinema feature by Alan Morrison. Shame the website is lagging behind the newspaper.
  • The Art World Is Often Accused Of Being Aloof And Too Out Of Touch For The Public To Engage With The Glasgow International Festival Of Contemporary Visual Arts Aims To Change That But It Wont Be Easy (from Sunday Herald)
    Barry Didcock’s intro to the Gi. Quite a headline, that!
  • Glasgow international - A. Vermin
    Cracking show in the basement of the State Bar on Holland Street.
  • Luke Fowler: Winner of the First Jarman Award for Artist Film-Makers
    Congrats Luke!
  • six twenty nine on Flickr - Photo Sharing!
    A nice, very Flickr-ish example of the ‘long photo’ idea the site is using to justify the limitations on video uploads. Bonus: it’s a sunset, not a cat!
  • Voigtlander 15mm f4.5 Super Wide Heliar
    My next lens…

    Incredibly vague, and there isn’t one for home users that I can see. I assumed throttling Bittorrent to 10kbps up/30Kbps down during the day would be fine. Wrong
  • SubEthaEdit
    The latest version has very slick collaboration features (which I don’t need, but I’ve always like SEE as an editor).

    This episode of L&O:SVU is defo the ickiest, which is saying something.

    Tigh Beg http://submitresponse.co.uk/weblog/2007/06/03/tigh-beg/ http://submitresponse.co.uk/weblog/2007/06/03/tigh-beg/#comments Sun, 03 Jun 2007 01:35:56 +0000 http://submitresponse.co.uk/weblog/2007/06/03/tigh-beg/ I’m just back from a wonderful little holiday with Fiona, Richard and Ruthie at Tigh Beg, a croft overlooking Loch Feochan. We tramped up hills, lit fires, ate delicious food (courtesy of Fiona), drank delicious wines (courtesy of Richard, and Bob) and went on a day trip to Ellenabeich.

    My companions and hosts, on the Seil side of the Bridge Over the Atlantic:

    Fiona, Richard and Ruth

    It is traditional in Scotland to install boat cabins on the tops of hills (they’re used as hides when hunting haggis):

    A boat cabin on top of a hill

    Tigh Beg is often surrounded by bleating idiots like this one:

    A sheep

    Here’s a nice photo of Ruthie:

    Ruthie

    And here I am, attempting to email copy to The Herald (it only took four attempts):

    Me, working hard

    At Ellenabeich you will find the Highland Arts Exhibition (and an excellent microbrewery):

    Day trippers

    Inside the Highland Arts Exhibition hangs the work of outsider polymath C. John Taylor:

    Um, some art

    And finally, especially for Guy, a mostly-rotten sheep carcass:

    A rotten sheep carcass

    More photographs are available here, or will be soon. Fans of needless geowankery can have a look at part of one of our walks on Google Maps (annoyingly, I didn’t remember that my new ‘phone has all sorts of fancy GPS features until halfway through our final trek).
