Even though our camera box is not in use anymore, that’s not to say there isn’t any new life in the garden! The front bird box on the Copper Beech (pictured) is the home of a Great Tit family, and though obviously we’ve not seen them, the chicks are very vocal! The blue tit who was in the camera box but now in the terrace further along the garage, seems to be sitting on eggs. We have observed two blue tits taking it in turns to...

It seems confirmed that the blue tit that was once resident in our camera nestbox has moved. She has been spotted twice over the weekend going into the middle of the three sparrowboxes (pictured) and I assume has made her nest in there, we’ll have to watch out for little chicks.

Gary Megson had created a side with guts and effort, and Dave Jones came in to take this to the next level with consistency and more options....

After a long wait, my Raspberry Pi turned up today. So, just before Anne came home and wanted the TV, I booted it up to see what it can do. The Raspberry Pi is a bare board PC running an ARM chip, and is designed to get programming and computer science back into the interest of students at school. More information is on the Raspberry Pi web site here I decided to use the Fedora Raspberry Pi Remix distro. This was put onto the SD card, seen...

Warning, serious geekyness of a post! Our little Acer netbook has seen little use over the last few months. It was running Win 7, rather slowly so I thought I’d put on the consumer preview of Win 8. Even though I think Microsoft’s model of hitting every user with a touch interface even though virtually everybody using it doesn’t use a touch interface is slightly mad, I wondered if it would make the netbook more responsive than...
