Classic film & animation - Len Lye

Date: 19th December 2007 at 1:35 am | Filed under: blog, video | Author: Sam Burdge

Here are a few of my favourite animations by Len Lye made for the G.P.O in the 1930's. His style of hand colouring and printing onto the actual film itself is still mimicked (digitaly) in adverts today. Remember these films were made before colour film existed.

TRADE TATTOO (1937)


A COLOUR BOX (1935)


RAINBOW DANCE (1936)

Fighting Spam

Date: 19th December 2007 at 12:32 am | Filed under: blog, wordpress | Author: Sam Burdge

I've been receiving a bit of spam on my blog lately :evil: obviously none of it gets through, but its still annoying having to delete it all. So, I have decided to take measures against it by implementing a few changes on my blog. I have installed the Captcha! plugin which now requires users to manually enter the text they see in the picture before their comment is submitted. I have also activated the Askimet plugin which flags comments as spam based on the askimet database.

Whilst looking at the different ways to fight spam I found this article: The Solution to Blog Spamming, which I found very useful.
