Accident

2007-07-22T00:38:00.001Z

Østerbrogade 57 at 2.30 am

adding this the next day you can see the two phots full size here:- screeech screeech bang - a photoset on Flickr

screaming brakes and a bang was what I heard at about 2:30 am whilst sitting in my garden drinking a cold glass of white wine

I rushed in to my kitchen and grabbed my mobile phone in case an ambulance was needed

when I got to the scene of the accident, a policeman had the situation under control so I took these two snaps and went home.
As a test back in my garden I blogged one of them directly from my new phone Picture of the day: Accident

and received an sms with a token for go.blogger.com Blogger: Blogger Mobile whenI logged on it gave me the option of moving the blog post and linking the new blog to an existing account

Højskolen har til huse i den gamle Holbæk Slot Ladegaard, hvis historie kan føres tilbage til år 1200, hvor der har eksisteret bebyggelse på stedet.
Den nuværende hovedbygning er med visse væsentligeændringer opført i slutningen af 1700 tallet.
Et bygningsareal på ca. 8.800 m2 danner rammen om værksteder, studielokaler og beboelse for kursister og lærere.

ducks, geese and coots approach looking for a hand out and the swans have all long gone from this Chelmsley brook.

This mini series is over now, but I really enjoyed this on tv:- BBC - Science & Nature - UK Wildlife - Autumnwatch with Bill Oddie, Kate Humble and Simon King.
Find out all about the series and watch some great video of autumn wildlife. . . . about six weeks of autum before it is winter here-

The uploading of my images went very very slowly, so a mini blog today.

Cult TV for train spotters

2006-09-20T12:24:00.000Z

I watch this on cable TV any time I can not sleep when I am in Denmark. The lack of commentary and simple perspective of rails, track and scenery appearing from the vanishing point help me relax and fall asleep again. In England the LIDL satellite kit does the job getting Hotbird 13E and Hellas 39 east and on Astra 1b 19.2E eurosport.de for my cycle races and both bahn.tv (german state rail's own tv station) and Das Erste - page 304 of ARD text tv tells me that at 03:20 am tomorrow morning Die schönsten Bahnstrecken Deutschlands Bonn - Berlin is continuing. Today I reawoke with the TV still on and a scandal about stale meat and lidl.de but my passive german is not good enough to get to the root of the matter. BTW Berlin Zoo station is a cult object itself but that is another story. Just down loaded the java MS Messenger on this videophone so send me an IM to hugh_watkins@msn.com if you like :-)

After a good night's sleep I was able to start my new Macintosh work station and make it format an old 80 gb hard disk from Argos. I am still in network hell with a limited dial up pay per minute and my home network is also down without DSL and so I will spend the morning at Chelmsley Wood library doing email and researching and blogging.

at Chelmsley Wood after another restless night. About 400 + tv channels to investigate from two satellites so far thanks to the Lidl dish. China is opening one new coal fired power station every four days and is now the third largest economy in the world pushing UK down one place. This means that global warming is unstopable in my opinion.

Birmingham city centre yesterday seen from the down wind leg of the approach circuit to BHX from ZRH. The green glass tower is the SAS hotel and I can spot the post office tower and the rotunda and the Bullring too which I often blog. The photo was downloaded from my handicam memory stick to the Mac and up again to the videophone to be blogged. I have an emergenay dialup thanks to AOL. So I am only answering urgent emails.

Blogging on the Go
Camera phones and special Web sites allow mobile bloggers to record every detail of every day -- or just about anything else.

so I did this post but it went to a new blog - but by logging on as me first and and then claiming the new blog (from the token sent by SMS to my Sony Ericsson cell phone with the 3.3 mega pixels Cybershot camera built in) - I then got to a blogger screen with an option to merge the new with one of my existing blogs. Now I logged on and added this note - as a rule of the game I don't edit the picture or the phone text - and by learning to key a title and body I soon will be more skilled at writing sms too.

just see what trouble you get into when you press buttons on a new K800 mobile phone.

I was just trying to see if the flash on the camera worked, and I ended up with a new blog like the time the BLOGGER icon appeared in my google tool bar update.

And then I recieved an sms telling me to go to go.blogger.com and that I had to claim a token . . .

blogger.com found its cookie on this machine "hullo Hugh, welcome back!" and integrated the new blog into the old dashboard.

Then I edited the settings and fixed the template

and Ads by Google copy pasted at the beginning and at the end of the body of the template.

I am not going to show this blog to my friends until I have some more posts
