PHP and Mac OSX
For my reference only (Leopard 10.5.2): sudo nano /etc/apache2/httpd.conf uncomment following line: LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so Then restart apache.

Aperture Priority
Think I’ve finally managed to take a picture with my D-SLR, where the object in the foreground is sharp and the background is blurred. Need to do some more experiments. Might even go on a Canon training course.
Cetaceans
A friend of my parents asked if I’d like to go on a cetacean survey during the week – two day ferry trip to, and back, Ireland. Surveying dolphins etc. I might hold off until I find out what the … Continue reading
