Martyn Green - Interactive Designer

Welcome

We're back!.

Garage sign We're now back from our fabulous jaunt across the wilds of rural France!

It was totally amazing to just unplug and switch off from the rest of the world for a while - and with some quality wine and cheese to boot. Of course there's the obligatory mass of photos... although there will be more to come. There's only so much a man do with nearly 1000 RAW images and a laptop!

Krakow - Poland

amerbergris This was my first foray into Eastern Europe in years. We stayed in a great little apartment very close to the medieval city centre.

It's just a wonderful place to see, brimming with history and charming little cafes and bars tucked away all over the place. It very much reminded me of Prague about 10 years ago.

Wolfram Alpha

Wolfram Alpha Search Engine Finally something revolutionary in the search engine world! Wolfram Alpha is from the same genuis who brought the scientific community "Mathematica". It's no so much a Google-killer, rather a whole rethink of a web-based search service. Instead of giving you reams of 'matches' to a search, it attempts to provide difinitive answers to questions you pose. It seems to work well with financial and scientific data.

Gorilla's In Our Midst...

Gorilla at Richmond Bridge. Here's some pic's of our weekend trek up the River Thames in a traditional skiff. The goal was to start from Richmond and get up to Guildford on the Wey Navigation.

Unfortunately this was the weekend that we had huge torrential rainfall so, in just a few short hours we were deluged!

We got as far as we could, and managed to raise over $600 for the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund.Thanks very much for everyone's support.
