This movie reflects my fascination with the Edgbaston Reservoir. It's got everything from wildlife to water sports to night photography to the weather to... Highlights include a flying duck, a bumble bee at work and a great crested grebe diving. Great if you've got a spare 10 minutes. You can watch it here or go my Vimeo account to see it in full HD It's also available on Youtube, but Vimeo as that gets more hits, but Vimeo gives better HD quality.

 Home for OnLineJones digital photos. Flickr is intended to be a showcase for the very best of my digital photos (up to 200). Happy browsing. |
 I’ve started a Picasa Photo Gallery. Having filled my Flickr I've started uploading to Picasa. On Picasa you can organise photos into albums which is ideal for recording events. |
 Youtube.com/onlinejones has plenty of video I've posted from Bearwood Corks, Andy Hamilton's Drum and Symphony Hall gigs and The Acoustic Theatre. There's also higher quality video in the Video Gallery onthis site. |
 Vimeo.com/onlinejones is another video site, but allows higher quality than Youtube, wide screen format and high definition. Unfortunately you can't put as much up there, put what you put up can be downloaded. |
 NowPublic.com/onlinejones is a "crowd powered" news channel where we, the public, write the news. Also you can upload video and photos, and the quality is really rather good. |
 OnLineJones Web Design Tutorial is hosted on Geocities.I built this when I was teaching a few years ago. It's a bit out of date - no style sheets yet - but it teaches the principles of HTML coding OK. |
FRIENDS INSTITUTE LIFE STUDY GROUP IN BIRMINGHAMI keep my drawing in shape with the Life Study group at the Friends Institute in the Moseley Road, Highgate, Birmingham. We're an informal, untutored group who meet every Tuesday, and our numbers include everyone from practising Artists and Art Lecturers to hobbyists and absolute beginners; everbody's welcome. We continue to run during holiday periods and we charge on a sessional basis (not by the term). Special rates are available for full time students on Art, Design or related subjects. |

I first tried to get Broadband with BT inJanuary, 2005. I tried different ISPs without success, but just when it seemed that no-one was going to connect me on a BT landline and my landlord was starting to get used to the idea of possibly allowing cable into the house TalkTalk came good and I was connected. If you want to read the story in full and find out how TalkTalk came good where others have failed . . . |
