Snow-Predictable

What a couple of days... and hardly any technology.

Before I mention the Snow (which is of course a mandatory requirement when Snow falls in the UK), I wanted to tell you all about the exciting world of Harry Potter, via my experience of the Harry Potter Studio Tour!


I don't want to go on like some Harry Potter obsessed nerd (ah-hem) so I'll just share a few pictures and tell anybody who likes special effects, the film industry and the Harry Potter series to make sure you check this out!

The Potion's Classroom

The Weasley's Kitchen

The Knight Bus

Hogwart's Gates

So... Snow. Yes, it snowed, it snowed a lot. Fortunately I had the day off so didn't have to work out whether the trains would be working etc. But... since most of the residents of my building (of whom I get on with all of them extremely well) were all sent home or weren't working today, we all pitched together to build an igloo!

Using our garden to make an igloo. A team effort



A nice day.

Photo Sharing
Now, on to technology. I tried sharing my photo stream today. I use lots of different methods to share pictures and move them about 'the cloud'. Dropbox, Google Drive, Sky Drive, Facebook. I have an Android phone and iPad so there isn't a one-step tool to do this available.

However, I thought I'd try sharing some photos with a friend via Photo Stream. Seems very easy to share however she wasn't sure what she should then do with the email she received. There is a big button on it but it'd be good to see what it actually does. I can't test it myself as it's my Photo Stream (I tried). -- UPDATE -- Just found out that she's on IOS5... and it's a feature that only works on IOS6. Ah Apple, so close.

A new business idea
Plans to meet two people for another business idea (BIG website idea - bigger than any project I've undertaken thus far) have had to be postponed due to the snow.

Local Web Path
And finally... We officially registered Local Web Path as a limited company this week and it was a really nice moment to receive the official certificates from Companies House.
