I’ve published my poetry through lulu.com so if there’s a massive electromagnetic pulse that wipes out everything electronic, it’ll still survive in some form. It contains all my best poetry. If you want to check the poems out, there’s a link under Pages to the right. If you like them, go ahead and buy a copy of Silent Call. It features Catfish, which had some artwork commissioned from Luis Rey to illustrate it, and went on a tour of Japan and the USA. There are also a few I performed with Aware, back in the day.

Silent Call: my poetry now published
Friday, February 8th, 2008Native British Totem Animals
Thursday, February 7th, 2008
Years ago, a friend and I started up the Totem Generator, which can generate a native British totem animal for you. The text is kind of nonsense, but uplifting nonsense, but Peter’s illustrations are amazing, gorgeous. He is incredibly talented, and his forte is nature.
The good news is, the images and text are now available as a book! There’s a bit more text in the book than on the website, and there are also a couple of bonus animals not available on the website. Here’s the link to preview or buy it: Native British Totem Animals.
MP3 Storage (for streaming)
Thursday, February 7th, 2008I recently downgraded one of my hosting set-ups as it was costing too much, and realised to my horror I no longer had anywhere to store MP3s to play on crowcity. After a quick search I found MediaMax.com which gives you 25GB for free. I haven’t been able to find the amount of bandwidth you get, but hopefully it’ll be enough for now. You can store and share all kinds of files there, not just music files. And you can link directly to them - you don’t have to play them through MediaMax, which is cool.
Googlepages have a similar set-up but I haven’t been able to check it yet as the audio device on my laptop has gone dodgy. When I get a chance I’ll test MediaMax V Googlepages and report back which loads faster.
Edit 14/5/08 - Mediamax has now been rebranded as The Linkup. They still have free trial accounts, but I’m going to err in favour of Googlepages now, at least until it’s full up.
