Rantoutloud.org has moved : Wordpress

Bye Bye Blogger, Bye Bye

After many years of faithful service and development tweaks, I'm saying goodbye to Blogger. The ftp publishing service has gone and I'm not prepared to suffer the limitations of the blogspot environment. So Wordpress site is up and running and this site will dissapear shortly.

Oh my god this is doing my head in!

iROC : OFF

iROC Cancelled

You know I thought when I saw the new dates earlier in the year for the iROC event, why did they move it? Now it's been cancelled, Bank Holiday was not a great time to pitch for the event? My only issue now is what to put in instead?

Illuminating Hadrian's Wall : Cell 29

Cell 29, originally uploaded by rantoutloud.

Posted to the distant outskirts of Walltown in deepest Northumberland. This may not have been the most spectacular of positions but we did our bit for the good of all. It was fantastic just from the feeling to have taken part and be one of the few, the cameradere, the craic, the cold... bloody hell it was cold when the lights went out and the sky cleared. Thanks to our leader 'JJ' who appeared first to be so laid back I thought he'd be asleep soon but in the end helped make it an enjoyable fun event for all of us.

Google acquires picnik

All your base are us

Well I suppose it had to happen eventually, all the good bits of software on the web get swallowed up by the behmoth that's Google.

Now I know I use lots of Google stuff but I'm beginning to object to the giant gobbling up everything that's useful. Now I suppose that the tune would be a different one if Google came to Off Exploing and offered even a fraction of the sum that's roumoured that they paid for picnik, nice retirement plan that'd be.

Off Exploring new printed Travel Journal

Off Exploring new printed Travel Journal,
by rantoutloud.

The new leather look design of Off Exploring's printed travel journal is amazing. The new design will be available for general release in the next few days. You can even customise the photograph on the front cover.

Off Exploring is an on line travel journal for travellers to record their trips and travel experiences using blogs, photos and video. Off Exploring powers a number of travel company's web sites including some well known global brands such as STA Travel, Kilroy Travels and many others.

Rumour has it that these guys are working on a funky new iPhone App that'll allow you to update your blog from the phone with maps and photos and everything too.

Best before 30th Dec
