Discover Dorset: Tyneham Village

Imagine stepping back in time to a village evacuated during the second world war (1943) and remaining cut off from the world for most of the time.  

Tyneham village (on the Lulworth firing range) was evacuated in 1943 and has remained mostly untouched since then.

Philips first game on the Raspberry Pi

This is Philip's first game that he wrote from scratch for the Raspberry Pi.  I am really proud of this especially as he is only 7 and had little help with this.

Monkey World: Dorset

Last week we had a lovely week in Swanage which still remains an unspoilt seaside town in Dorset.  One one of our days out we went to Monkey world.

Here are a few photos from our day out.  Please do not use these for commercial purposes.

Camera Review: Fuji FinePix S2995

If you are looking for a great price for a bridge camera check out my Amazon Associate shop  -->Here

After nearly eight very happy with my Fuji FinePix S5500 camera I decided it was time to upgrade to something newer.  I really love Bridge cameras, the functionality and design of aDSLR but with a single built in lens and electronic view finder.  Without wishing to spend too much money on a camera I settled for the FinePix S2995.

Watch the following video for  a review of this camera.

For more photos taken during the review.

Philip's first steps in programming

If you had said to me just a  couple of days ago my son would be writing his own (simple) computer programmes I would not have believed it.  By teatime today with the help of Scratch - a visual basic style programme he had written  a fairly complex routine with questions, if statements, loops and routines!

It almost reminds me of myself 25 years ago writing BBC basic programmes on my Sinclair Spectrum.

Raspberry Pi photos

I can't believe how much of a hit my Raspberry Pi has been with my seven year old son.  He thinks it is amazing and loves linux!

Philip is already writing a short animation using scratch.

Here are a few photos including one of the custom case that was produced for me at work on the 3D printer.
