http://www.sumption.org A small selection of the many things that have happened to Dan Sumption, his family, friends and colleagues Sun, 06 Jul 2008 21:01:54 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en For some reason, comments on this blog don't seem to be working (and haven't been for a while). I just upgraded the Wordpress software which runs the blog, but it doesn't seem to have helped. Rather more major surgery is called for - which I don't have time for at ... http://www.sumption.org/2008/07/06/blog-broke/ Finally got to meet one of my heroes last night. This is what happened when she saw I was wearing a badge with her name on it: PS. wow - it's been months since I posted. I keep meaning to write something long and rambling here, but I never get around ... http://www.sumption.org/2008/05/29/fearne/ I just did a very pleasant photoshoot with Brian & Heather of Acolytes Action Squad (one of my favourite bands at the moment). They had an idea which tied in with the accompanying interview, and so we leapt into Heather's car and I assumed the role of Junior in the ... http://www.sumption.org/2008/02/10/acolytes-action-squad/ I've been spending the last few days on some rather interesting ActionScript challenges. I've been building a sort of a lava lamp gloopy movement machine. I've been up to my neck in physics and trigonometry, so today when I had to change the way that the mouse moves objects around ... http://www.sumption.org/2008/01/21/mouse-wobbling-blobby-things/ Over the Christmas and New Yea period, I've been listening to a lot of Resonance FM via Windows Vista's UK Radio Sidebar. Heard some wonderful shows, but it's all been very perplexing. Being a bit of an email junky, I find myself drawn to my PC several times a day, ... http://www.sumption.org/2008/01/08/christmas-radio-and-things/ Some of my more observant friends have noticed that I've hardly uploaded any photos in the last few months. My last set on Danshotme dates from early October, and I've only posted half-a-dozen or so pics to Flickr since then. I have been going through one of those "fallow periods" which ... http://www.sumption.org/2008/01/05/new-photos-sort-of/ http://www.sumption.org/2007/12/28/burlesque-night-upstairs-at-dq-3/ The more observant of you may have noticed that 25th December falls on a Tuesday this year. And that my radio show, Empty Space, is also broadcast on a Tuesday. Next Tuesday I will in the studio as usual, broadcasting across Sheffield and the world. But as Christmas is all about ... http://www.sumption.org/2007/12/20/christmas-on-the-radio/ My Sumption-radar picked this up the other day. http://www.sumption.org/2007/12/08/communion-with-the-dead/ This is a photo of the back garden of our squat - Havana House, on Grove Green Road, Leytonstone (I forget what number we were - around 230 or 240, I think). The time I spent here, from 1993 to 94, was probably the happiest of my life. The garden was knocked ... http://www.sumption.org/2007/11/04/havana-house/
