  • The London Zoo

    We visited The London Zoo today. I was hoping to practice taking wildlife photography, but it didn’t quite work out that way. The animals are either behind glass or fencing, which of course makes photographing them difficult. This tiger photo is the best I could do. But, even though it looks OK here, it was…

  • Weekend trip to Northern Germany

    We got back from our long-weekend trip to Northern Germany on Monday. The main reason for the trip was that one of my wife’s best friends gave birth to a girl 6 months ago and we wanted to introduce ourselves. This (on the photo) is her. Her name is Tabea and she is adorable. Anke…

  • Our Parisian breakaway

    As you might have gathered from my previous post, we had a superb breakaway to Paris for the bank-holiday weekend. We saw many of the sites including: The Pompidou Centre, The Notre Dame, The Eiffel Tower, The Sacre Coeur, The Champs ElysTes, The Louvre & The Arc de Triomphe. Paris just has sooo much to…

  • I’ve been Dellified!

    Yesterday I received my brand new Dell. Now I can spend the long winter nights on this god-forsaken island (England) admiring my awe-inspiring code on my new 20-inch monitor. This while the new fan purrs; softly and gently in the background. The fan will be cooling down a 3.6GHz Processor. I will also occasionally be…

  • Protected: To all the girls I’ve loved before!

    There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.

  • New Adam Heunis Photography site

    I’ve finally finished moving my photo site from vsImages.com to adamfoto.com. I actually like the new name (and subsequent domain name) a lot better then vsImages. It roles of the tongue easier and is less prone to typos (from my own experience!). The structure of the site has also changed dramatically. Before I used Blogger…

  • London Wetland Centre

    Today was such a glorious day here in London that we decided to go to the London Wetland Centre. This is quite a well run setup not far from Hammersmith. There are all sorts of bird species and you can get quite close to them. There are loads of bird hides all over the places.…

  • Adam Heunis tech talk, my techie blog

    As some readers may already know, I am a software consultant in London. If you want to check out my techie thoughts and practices, check out Adam Heunis tech talk. I’ve written some popular articles. The most popular being the MySQL & the Ajax ones. Any feedback is obviously very welcome.

  • London Heatwave continues

    I can’t remember when it was this hot in the Capitol. I have been here for 6 summers and this has to be the hottest 2 weeks I’ve experienced in the UK. I wonder if this has anything to do with Thicko Bush and has anti environmental policies.

  • Afrikaans podcast site coming to life

    A while back, my wife and I started an Afrikaans podcast site at Gesels.NET. We have now done three episodes and we’ve just recently been asked by someonse else to add their podcast to the site. Sofar we’ve only had good feedback and lots of it. I just wish more people would create their own…
