• I’ve spent the last weekend building a new theme for my website, I’m so impressed at how far the block editor has come along in the last 12 months. Many of the FSE (full site editing) early growing pains have gone and I’ve manage to build 100% of the theme inside the WordPress editor thus…

  • Twitter/X is starting to feel like the early hours of a house party. Very few people left and those that are left are inebriated and talking absolute shit.

  • Checked into Banana Block, Belfast. I’m shooting The Orb for Eastside Arts Festival. I’m not sure who The Orb is but it was loud and people really seemed to enjoy Orbing. A lot of closed eyes and hands in the air.

  • Checked into Cineworld, Belfast to see Oppenheimer on an IMAX screen (my first time at an IMAX) — with Becca.

  • Booked my tickets to see Oppenheimer. This will be my first IMAX experience, can’t imagine a better director than Nolan to give me a good first experience.

  • Do not get stuck on the fence of overwhelm. Olaf De Fleur – Skillshare class

  • I’m currently stuck at Dublin Airport. BA have cancelled my flight until tomorrow.

  • The test is done the results are in. I passed! But it was a wild ride. Me and my instructor had a two hour lesson planned before my test and all was going swimmingly… until the car broke down. We stopped off at a garage for a pasty, obviously. The car failed to start as…

  • It’s test week, my driving test that is. I started learning in July, I’ve had around 10-15 lessons and my test is this Thursday coming up. I’m fairly confident in my driving but super anxious as 1 silly mistake could cost me the test. I’ve really enjoyed learning to drive and looking forward to being…

  • Life is wild at the moment. Never been pulled in so many directions. Must of it is amazing, fulfilling and fun but some of it is daunting, traumatic and terrifying. “You’ve got this buddy!”

  • Just got back from lunch at Fruit Shop with Becca and there’s a letter addressed to Rebecca Billingslea. We both look at each other knowing this is probably from the Home Office as the only mail Becca receives here at the moment is Amazon packages. Becca rips it open and it reads “Investigation”, “Sham marriage”…

  • I was on the Frank Mitchell Show on U105 radio this week talking about my Photography For Beginners course. Why do speech pattens evade you a soon as they go “you’re LIVE”? Forgot to even mention the link to book your spot so I’ll do that here. Courses at Crescent Arts Centre.

  • I’m heading to Shawbrook tonight with Michael McEvoy. We have three days to create a dance film. We’ve packed up the car with a ton of lighting gear and cameras. Can’t wait.

  • This site is a work in progress so if things are broken/unfinished/messy you know why. I’m building my site on the WordPress full site editor and it’s a ton of fun. I’ll do a write up on how I made everything once it’s finished. Until recently everything was hidden behind a coming soon page but…

  • I’m getting old. I recently turned 36 and a matter of weeks later I my knee decides to stop working. What did I do to upset you knee? I’ve had to cancel some teaching work and I’m currently hobbling around the house working on web stuff. It could be worse but injuries send me into…

  • Tonight I’ll be attending Works of Unparalleled Genius by Ken Fanning. A collection of Circus film he and other folk (including me) have made over the years. The night will premiere two new films. Come down to the Vault Artist Studios it’s BYOB and I’m told the more you drink, the better films.

  • Driving Lesson #3: Sometimes you need to use things wrong in order how to use them right. I had my first scary moment driving and I’m making note of it here in a dear diary moment. I’m learning in a diesel engine and they are very forgiving, maybe to a fault for learners. I own…

  • I’m currently at WordCamp Belfast writing a blog post on the WordPress iOS app. I’m so meta.
