frugi – great web design…
. .and development based in Leeds. I recommend frugi.co.uk for Leeds based web-design, development and change-management specialists.
They were fast, friendly and efficient service. Through meeting in person and exchanging frequent detailed email we formed a great synergy for this project. Frugi were able to develop and transform a mundane Wordpress blog into the wonderful, pleasing website you find yourself visiting today.
Taken from their website, their services include:
- XHTML (structure) and CSS (style) that conforms to WCAG accessibility guidelines
- Graphic design principles expressed in Photoshop and/or Fireworks
- Server-side scripting (PHP) with sound knowledge of the object-oriented approach
- Structured query language (SQL) and relational database design
- Secure, efficient and modular code
- Copywriting
- Javascript and AJAX (including Prototype, JQuery, MooTools, script.aculo.us etc. )
- Facebook/Maps/Search Engines/Flickr API applications and mashups
- XML / Xpath
They get a huge thumbs up from us.

photobox slideshow problems
A few people have mentioned having problems using the ’slideshow’ feature in photobox, such as Internet Explorer crashing entirely and closing down?
If this is the case then many apologies for the inconvenience, however unless it isn’t obvious – this is actually out of my hands as the photos / slideshow system are on Photobox’s site rather than my own.
I have some suggestions for resolving the issue, however.
- Try and reset / clear the cache on your internet browser.
Interet Explorer 6
Internet Explorer 7
Here are full instructions for this process- link
- Update your version of Flash to the latest version – link
- Lastly (and the one I recommend) – use a different internet browser – Firefox
After installing Firefox, you should have an additional icon your desktop (‘firefox’) – this is an alternative internet browser to Internet Explorer, but will not replace it so you can still use either one as you please. It is rather annoying having to do any of these things to be able to use their slideshow facility, and once again I can only apologise. If you have any problems with the above drop me message or leave a comment below and I’ll do my best to help you get it working.

new gallery / store
I have just setup a Photobox ‘ProGallery’ store for the displaying & purchasing of photos.
If you happen to use it, please leave feeback by email or leave a comment below this post as I’m keen to learn if is easy or hard to use. I personally found the Photobox site quite slow to use, but that may have been because I was accessing it at a peak time.

Paris
Took a short trip to Paris last week, beautiful place, you don’t need to try very to hard to find good photo opportunities.
HDR - Eifell Tower
This first shot uses a post-processing technique referred to as HDR (or High Dynamic Range) – you achieve this effect by taking 3 or more images that are under and overexposing the scene. When you combine them, you get a weird/interesting (and fake) looking image where a lot more of the dynamic range is available and exposed for, which you wouldn’t normally expect.
The rest of these are pretty predictable ‘touristy’ shots, enjoy!
Birds In Flight - shot in jpeg with incorrect whitebalance, doh!
Tour Eiffel, Eiffel Tower - you can
Bread and Roses - nice, but expensive!
Musée du Louvre
Louvre Tourists - they
Juggling Outside Notre Dame - lovely atmosphere at night
Seine - Lightning. Shame it was all
Raining in Paris - this looked far better when I was there
Quintessential French Man, in a park
arc de triomphe
photo store now available
Piano Recital
Photos are now available for viewing and purchase from the ‘store‘
