Random video of the day

Ben — Thu, 18 Nov 2010 19:08:49 +0000

I am really good at forgetting to update this and then when I do, it’s always a year to the day or something like that since I last did anything. Weird eh?

I must try harder and will get involved more. I’ve been busy, work is busy, things away from work are very busy and very exciting and I just seem to forget.

I am going to redesign this blog, its feeling old and tired now. A new look is needed to bring it in line with how I design stuff now…

Anyway, due to having nothing interesting to actually talk about or put here, I am going to link to probably my favourite youtube clip. It’s awesome!

Enjoy and turn it up!!!

Have a flirty Christmas at the one 4 me online dating

Ben — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:47:59 +0000

Hey people.

Have recently given the one 4 me a slightly festive overhaul, nothing tacky or in your face, tried to keep it simple and to the point, it is a dating site after all and the festiveness doesn’t really matter at the end of the day. I guess I had too much time on my hand that day… go check it out, remember, there’s a few weeks till Christmas, plenty of time to find some festive flirty fun online…

Ben Hennessy – Back in Team MPPIX

Ben — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:42:45 +0000

Good news, I am back in the Team MPPIX fold… after a few years with MPPIX, then a few years away, I am once again back and with new role and responsibilities. I’ll still be going to rallies taking photos but I’m also now responsible for the brand new website and keeping it update and sparkly clean. Mark now refers to me not only as a lazy shite, but also as the web monkey which is nice.

The site, like this one, is based around a WordPress site but with a few more static pages as well. Mark has all the galleries hosted separately which makes things a lot easier.

Anyway, the new site is up now which you can find if you click here and my first proper event with MPPIX will be the Grizedale stages on the 5th Decemeber – watch this space for MPPIX news as well as some shots from the event.

Rally GB 09

Well that time of year has been and gone, sadly. Only another year to wait till the next one though…

As usual I went for the whole event, got wet, cold, muddy but loved every moment of it. This year I hired a few new lenses to try out and it was a mighty steep learning curve, the weather was appalling on day one – rain and fog and with a lens I have never used before this made it even trickier, I persisted though and got there in the end. It also showed me how poor my camera is and I will be buying a new one soon into the new year.

Anyway, enough chit-chat – here are a few photos!

Might allow comments

Ben — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 22:25:20 +0000

I hate spamming ******* so I make it as hard as I can for them but in doing that, it seems to make it hard for normal people to leave comments so I might make it a bit easier and monitor the spam that comes through!

Comments are now easier, not that it will necessarily make a lot of different, I get a lot of visitors but not so many comments. ah well, it serves its search engine purpose…

New identity for the one 4 me – my online dating site

Ben — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 23:18:37 +0000

As you’ll see from my earlier post, I decided to create a whole new look for my year old dating site. I think it is important to keep websites looking fresh well kept and with this, I redesigned the logo.

I have gone for something a lot more organic and free compared to the older more constrained logo. I wanted something that was more modern and funky and something that would fit in with current design trends. I wanted the identity to feel young and fun, rather than a bit too serious like the old one may have done…

I think it helps the overall brand and with more sites due to launch soon, it sees the growth of the bh design operated online dating experiences.

New look for online dating site

Ben — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 23:11:44 +0000

I decided to take the plunge recently and redesign my online dating site, there must be something in the water where I live as I have now redesigned my own website and identity and now the dating site. I think it was a wise move though and I am much happier with it and think it is more in keeping with current design trends. Just got to hope that the fine single people of England like it!

I’ve moved!

Ben — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 08:20:07 +0000

That’s right, I have moved and finally I’ve got round to updating this blog. I really need to remember about it, I am useless. Well anyway, myself and Sophie have moved in together and we are living in a really nice village in Berkshire, not far from the Oxfordshire border. It’s a really nice little house and I will upload some photos when I take some.

I will also think about updating this regularly again, but not now, too busy at the moment.

Random Photo of the Day

Ben — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 19:15:19 +0000

One more random photo and then I really am closing this down for the night…

Doesn’t need an intro really. It’s just great!

OK, a few photos before I go away.

Ben — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 19:08:49 +0000

So I don’t get massively behind, here a few photos from our recent camping trips to The New Forest and then to the Isle of Purbeck a week later. Both of which were ridiculously hot weekends and it is fair to say we both got burnt. Anyway, here are some random pics from both trips… It seems Pepper took more photos than me on this occasion.
