Celebration Europe


Wow,
Yesterday I attended Star Wars Celebration Europe, and it was most excellent. After waking at 6am and making my way to London Waterloo station (a record in punctuality for South West trains at only 5 minutes late) I met with Lasse and Peter and travelled to the ExCel center using all manner of different trains, the second of which containing what I'd imagine Darth Vader to look like if he were a seven year old.
Inside the exhibition we first visited the collection of Vader heads, and then watched a film behind the scenes of the new animated series, after that we walked around the exhibition hall admiring the skill taken to create all the cool costumes and all the miniatures (but they were a bit out of league for my purchasing habits). Also the lego collection present was very cool.

Zooomr MIII- Good things come to those who wait
update: Zooomr MII is now live.
The launch of Zooomr MIII has been fraught with problems, and after launching they expeirenced a horrific server crash which has taken the service offline for another few days. After a fantastic response from the community: with Sun sending a server to help with storage (an incredible 24tb monster) and Dell getting their fried server back and running. And especially to ZOHO for providing Zooomr with much new colocation facilities. However, even more unfortunately the external server hosting the Zooomr blog is also experiencing problems- and thus they are unable to update the blog- and updates are divulged using a live video stream with irc chat and a wiki.[alt link for wiki] Kris is currently waiting to get all of the equipment running and working and ready to handle the load before launching.

Print-em-yourself Bookmarks
Taking inspiration from Steven's post on handwriting fonts on noenemies, I decided to create a printable bookmark. ![]()
I started with this photo of some fireworks that I took last year and made it into a set of five bookmarks using powerpoint. I'm not going to explain why powerpoint because it is unsuited to this. I used the Luna Bar font for all of the text and it really makes the bookmarks look good.
Download the printable bookmarks.

Flying lesson
On Saturday I had a flying lesson as an early 16th birthday present. It was an amazing experience and one that I'd be happy to repeat any day. And I am planning to save up to do just that.

jUploadr 1.1
Yay!
[regains composure]
jUploadr 1.1 was released today, and now is probably the only Zooomr bulk uploader, and seems to be very good.
