A Goat in Lyon

It is not everyday we see a goat in the centre of Lyon. This goat was tied up alongside a cafe.

I have been wanting to settle down and write something useful about the Canon PowerShot SX700. My schedule has not allowed it this month. So a few recent photos will have to tide the topic over for a while.

Scottish Highlands by Train

During our trip to Scotland we took the train from Glasgow to Fort William, and then up to Mallaig. The scenery is stunning.

Making Movie Splitter

Movie Splitter was accepted into the Mac App Store. That was a good moment. One Megan and I have yet to properly celebrate; traditionally, launches require a decadent slice of chocolate cake or another treat.

Macabre Marseille

I did not expect to see such a macabre collection of artefacts: skulls, mummies of various animals, and shrunken human heads. The items were all on display in Marseille’s Centre de la Vieille Charité.

Cherry Blossoms

I have been taking photos of the same tree for a couple of years now. The tree sits near traffic lights on Boulevard des Belges and is unassuming. Then for a few weeks, the tree becomes a colourful burst of petals and pink.

More Squirrels

Below are a few photos and a short film of squirrels foraging in our local park. Most of the shots are taken at maximum zoom.

Exporting Contacts to CSV

An AppleScript to export name and e-mail addresses from Contacts.app on Mac OS X to a Comma Separated Values (CSV) file.

Lyon Funicular - Fourvière to Saint-Jean

“Going to put that on Facebook.” the man near me quietly wondered aloud. I was not convinced he wanted an answer or even intended I could understand him. He had spoken in English more to himself than to anyone else around.

Hot Water

After two weeks without hot water, I am looking forward to running that hot tap soon. The plumbers have just finished and are leaving behind a brand new water heater. The new heater looks identical to our last but this one is not leaking water through the electrics.
