Gemma doesn’t seem to have picked up on this one yet, but a while ago Ben and I were talking in MSN, or Yahoo, and he showed me this link, to a woman (she is a Graphic Designer) in the US’s blog, and at the same time this link, to Gemma’s site, and asked me what was the same (the hint is to the right ->) it seems Ferris, doesn’t understand that linking to the copyright owners site is a good idea on the web.

Which all in all leads me onto my point about copyright infringement (please note that because a Picture is worth 1000 words, I have included the article that appeared in the Redbridge Guardian in its completeness, as its not online. (please click on for larger)

As stated in the previous blog post Ruth was involved with the Woodhouse players Little Mermaid. and I took some photos for, including the one on the right, and if your looking at it thinking you have seen it before, well yes, its the one in the news paper clipping. On the Wood hose players page the following is stated "Images by and © Skippy - http://PhilipMcGaw.com"; why is it that the Redbridge Guardian have failed even to state that the image was provided by the wood house players for inclusion in the article, there is space for the copyright, or reference directly below the image. I would not have minded having something like "image provided by Woodhouse players" as I gave the images to the WHP, but as it is the source of the image is unclear.

Which brings us back to Gods Copyright; in the conversation between Ben and me, he asked if because Ferris had stated

I am going to cherish a sunset that God has made previously and that someone else thought was so beautiful that it had to be captured by a photograph

Is this why she did not feel the need to reference Gemma for taking the photo?

Updated title with regards to bens post on Creationist Copyright.

In this article all copyright holders, and sources have been attributed, and items for which I don’t hold copyright have been used for Citation, I believe this is fair use, please tell me (in the comments section) if you disagree.

Dan the evil guy, who likes Google. (who try to do no evil) came up with an image of who is getting there arse’s kicked by the pod cast [see here] now at the moment I am in no danger of loosing to it, but i have remembered just how long ago my last post was, as such its time to fill in.

Since the 14th November I have not put fingers to keyboard once, towards putting information(?) in my blog!

so in the news.

1. New Job! - since the 28th of November, I have been working as an Assistant Engineer with a company called Kembrey Wiring Systems Ltd. There main product is boxes filled with wires, and connectors to go on British Aircraft, the job is not too bad, but can be a little slow, and monotonous at times.
2. Loupie’s Panto, Ruth was in a rendition of The Little Mermaid over Christmas, (you may have been told about it) and i took some of the photos that have since appeared on the Woodhouse Players site :D
3. Ruth and I pent Christmas and New year together, (your not having all the details :p).

There will be more to come, so enjoy :D

Unkie Phil to be exsact.

Details are unlikly to follow due to my inabiltiy to say more in a public forum. (ask me via msn or something if you know me)

Some of you who read parts of my Blog (and/or know me in real life) may know I like Technology, Big Toys, and Landscapes; Well imagine combining them all.

On my Birthday Ian, Manda, Dave and I were up in the Canadian City of Niagara, watching the falls, (from both the land and from a Boat). since we were only there for one day we thought we really should stay there till after dark and watch the falls being lit up.

as we were eating in a local eatery place, a group of people were gathered marking the campaign to stop domestic violence, and as part of there publicity, they turned the falls a Purple colour.

One of the guys we spoke to said that we could have a go at playing with the lights if we went up to the door on the back of the little tower beside the restrant, so up we went, Manda got nominated for the job of bouncing at the person who opened the door,

After being let in and shown the control panel and given a basic run down of how to change the lights we were left with 21 4kW discharge bulbs (each is 390 million candle power)

Unfortunately changing the waterfalls to Red, White and Blue strips proved to be too much of a challenge (Union Flag Colours).

Hopefull Ian will put some photos up and i will be able to link to them.

Yesterday we were at Harry and Meg’s wedding in Rochester New York State,

I will try to get some more photos online, (possibly via face book as it allows for photo tagging)

Ian has also posted on Spinney Head.

– Update — Photos can be found online here

This is an example of cold chocolate drinks, in a restraunt called "Max Brenner’s Chocolate Bar"

Max Brenner’s menu was predominately composed of well sweet things, (they did have savoury starters).

Ruth has a friend by the name of Christina, who says the best part of a meal is the desert (I know that its out of context.. but) I think she would like this place.

Details also on Spinnyhead.

[Coincidently this will be my first attempt at image upload with WLW]

While in New York, we carried out some of the touristy things, that people do (beyond trying to blog from an iPhone in the Apple store) we went up the Empire state building, (and the associated Sky Ride), a walk round Central Park, a trip to Stanton Island, and Ian and I also made the visit to the Museum of Sex.

A few Bot-Crossing Bots have been let loose into the wilds of the Big Apple, If you have heard of BookCrossing its a simaler idea to that, but it is more of a momorial thing, for details i recomend going to this page on the main Bot Crossing Site.

I have some images on my laptop, and others that i would like to put together as panoramas, so if i get some time with an active real time conection (as apposed to offline writing) i shall upload them. who knows i may also try out using Windows Live Writer to post images.

The goth club list is now available HERE. The URL is www.freewebs.com/ukgothclublist, if you’d like to put that somewhere for safekeeping.

Thanks to Del for putting something back on line :D
