New Year’s Eve 2009 London Streets
January 1st, 2010First SLR
December 30th, 2009
Caroline and I enjoy photography. We don’t have a lot of time to really develop skills, but like having collections of photos.

Instead we got ripped off and came home with a point & shoot pretending to be an SLR (Panasonic DMC-FZ1) having paid twice what a consumer SLR should cost.

Welcome!
September 5th, 2009Welcome to fredsherbet.com! This is my first personal blog, so I’m finding my way with it :p
I enjoy playing with computers, and am a computer programmer in North London. I built computers in my teens, but got into Apple computers in the last few years. Most recently I’ve gotten into web technologies, and having my own webspace that I can SSH into is quite exciting!
Anyway, this is my personal outlet – we’ll see where it goes…
