The couple of hours I spent working up on the UNSW campus last Friday were a blast, but mind you I seem to enjoy every visit I make there. It's always great to tap into the vibe that emanates on the campus. There's a certain rush, or buzz, and a slight anticipation even that something exciting is going to happen. It's a feeling that seems to evaporate once you've ... Read full entry
Web design and I: we (sort of) lost that loving feeling…

Posted by John Lampard on Friday, 1 August, 2008 to the events subset
Spotted the UNSW UNIBUDS stall outside the UNSW library as I was heading to my lunch meeting earlier, and have been reading about this year's "Bodhi Nite" which happens on 30 August, at the Sir John Clancy Auditorium. Bodhi Nite, is an anniversary to commemorate the wonderful birth of this society, and its journey which we have become a part of. ... Read full entry

Good afternoon from UNSW
Posted by John Lampard on Friday, 1 August, 2008 to the disassociated subset
The plan today had been to tap into some hot spots (sorted) and do a little content production here on the UNSW campus. Instead I was somehow caught up in a psychology lecture and have just managed to make my escape. Currently supping coffee at Bluestone Cafe. You learn something everyday, ... Read full entry

Tips for remote mobile working
Posted by John Lampard on Friday, 11 July, 2008 to the comment subset
Miles Burke writes a handy guide to getting the best out of working away from your home or office base, especially at places like cafes. Choose a coffee establishment which isn't too busy at the time of day you are heading in, and not somewhere all your friends frequent, unless you feel that you need the social interaction. Somewhere with free parking and a view is good too. ... Read full entry

BarCampSydney3 is in progress over at the Roundhouse bar, on the UNSW campus. You can follow proceedings on Flickr and Twitter. I'm sure there's podcasts floating around also.

Souffle
Posted by John Lampard on Saturday, 15 September, 2007 to the disassociated subset
The information on the noticeboard, by now swaying gently in the rising afternoon breeze, was very clear. Graduands must register for the graduation ceremony between 1:30pm and 1:50pm and be seated in the Sir John Clancy auditorium by 2:00pm. Otherwise they will be "graduated in absentia". A couple of graduands, having been granted a 2:15pm reprieve, were pacing ... Read full entry

Spectrum
Posted by John Lampard on Sunday, 22 July, 2007 to the photos subset
The colours, starting from the small red wall and working up and around to the blue sky, and even the shadow angles, make this photo an interesting "study" in light and colour. According to me, that is! ;) The building, located in the heart of the University of New South Wales campus, is called "The Red Centre"... anyone care to reason ... Read full entry

Trypt
Posted by John Lampard on Friday, 20 July, 2007 to the photos subset
I decided to take some time out from the disassociated studio yesterday, and go for a wander around the nearby campus of the University of New South Wales. It may have been cool outside, but the crystal clear blue sky was saying to me "good light, grab the camera!" Despite being able to see UNSW ... Read full entry

Contrast
Posted by John Lampard on Saturday, 16 June, 2007 to the photos subset
Here's the recently repainted wall of the nearby UNSW print press. Not quite as interesting as its previous decaying and rusting state, as has been the appearance for many years now. (See a larger image on my Flickr page) Rust can certainly add a ... Read full entry
