Swedish translation!It’s strange but it’s true. I’ve just discovered out of the blue that the article I wrote for the Rockall Times on car branding:http://www.therockalltimes.co.uk/2004/02/23/car-branding.html has been translated into Swedish and stuck on a Swedish website! Here it is: http://www.yttermera.se/lackochratt/pages/kvinnor_ny_malgrupp.html And if you don’t believe me, you can paste that address into this translator: and see the page translated into English. What an odd business. Still, as they say, international translation is the most sincere form of flattery… This line is a permanent link - use it if you want to bookmark or link to this news item Sat, 23 Oct 2004

More moviesThis time it’s from a 34 km ride, so is somewhat more interesting. The ride went out on one valley, over a ridge and then back along another valley. It’s fun to watch the action slow down and the clouds start to scud across the sky as I climb the long hill. Watch it from my cycling movies page.This line is a permanent link - use it if you want to bookmark or link to this news item

Movies go to the next level!After many hours of fiddling with very small screws and a vicious soldering iron, I’ve hacked a digital camera from eBay to do time-lapse photography and then stuck it on my bike. Here’s my first proper attempt at recording a ride, a 27-minute ride around Salisbury reduced to 13 seconds, which I think works out at a speed of 1300 kilometres per hour!This line is a permanent link - use it if you want to bookmark or link to this news item Fri, 15 Oct 2004

An experiment in film-making!This film was an experiment. Amazingly, it was shot using a Nokia phone at Salisbury station taking pictures as fast as I could and then stuck together using Quicktime. Enjoy!This line is a permanent link - use it if you want to bookmark or link to this news item Mon, 27 Sep 2004

Website revampYes, I know: you’ve just picked yourself up off the floor having slipped from your chair in shock at the professional appearance of the pages before you. All I can do is apologise and hope that now you’ve recovered from the shock, you enjoy the new slick look of this site. Remember: New look - same great taste! A big shout-out here to John Gruber, whose SmartyPants software is responsible for taking my simple text files and formatting them with “curly quotes” and nice curly apostrophes in words like “it’s”. Nice!This line is a permanent link - use it if you want to bookmark or link to this news item Fri, 20 Aug 2004
