More Fame From the Right

This time we got featured in the that rightwing rag, the Daily Mail, it looks as if they nicked from thier sister publication Metro. These guys have no morals whatsoever, they steal pictures without attribution and then pretend that they have spoken to me! As for the statistics: month, week, whatever!

The Mail report is here and it looks as if the The Metros here put through a schredder!

Radio Wymsey Goes Visual - Soon!

We now have the equipment to create Wymsey TV! A new webcam, see here, and with a 1 GB card in the digital camera we will be able to do outside broadcasts as well. The quality of the TV shows will be conciderably better than the Webcam which concists of 40 KB jpeg images.

We intend to offer the programes as downloads and as a podcast service which will also in include Radio Wymsey. Currently we are putting together the Radio Wymsey First Anniversary Show.

Wymsey Wedding Update

As today, Saturday, is our 4th wedding anniversary I thought that it would be a good time to put up some wedding pictures! The wedding can be seen here. Pictures of the wedding reception and our 4th wedding anniversary can be found here.

Wymsey Updates

A couple of updates this week:

After his dirty weekend on the Isle of Wight with his secret lady friend, Sam Thrundell has posted some pics here.

The Boring Old Fart, Michael Asperin, is exploring shopping in his unique manner here.

Oh No, More Fame!

We've just been contacted by Channel 4 for permission to feature Wymsey in their video blog and a likely showing on TV. See thisisaknife.

We'll put up a link when the show is online, one sorry point is that you will have to use IE as the site is set up to use ActiveX & Flash 8. I will be contacting them about the 10% of people who use Firefox!

Here's an extract from the researcher's email: "Our podcast will be available around the world as part of the Channel 4 /WOW website and I would also like permission to use your site on Channel 4 Television. At the moment the site will just be available on the internet but I would like to work on the possibility that the episode may be aired on primetime television in the UK only for 2 transmissions over a five year period.

After the initial transmission on the website the episode that features your site will then be archived in perpetuity and will be available in the Œpast episodes¹ section. Our video blog will also eventually be available in downloadable form from the C4 site. "

Crazyness!
