SETH ELLIS WEB SITE --- IMPORTANT

If you were expecting to see the Seth Ellis web site here, you've not done anything wrong, but the SE web site has been hacked. I'm in the process of repairing the damage, but until I'm sure the site is back up and working again, you'll get my default site. Sorry for the inconvenience. Hopefully everything will be fixed by the end of the weekend.

brassedoff.net is the internet home of David, Caroline and Daniel Morris.

Rotherham Walking Festival

If you're here looking for pictures of the Rotherham Walking festival, you've come to the right place. The pictures are in my gallery. If you would like high resolution renditions of any of the pictures, please email me and let me know which ones you want. Typically, the high-res versions are around 3meg each.

Blogs for man and dog!

Surprisingly, we don't update this site very often. Both Caroline and David both have regularly updated blogs though, both of which are housed on this server.

For musings about Killamarsh, Sheffield, visits, canals, work (IT) and other tedious stuff, visit David's blog at http://www.brassedoff.net/wp

For interesting stuff about wool, knitting, spinning and fleece, you need to be at www.woolforbrains.net - Caroline's blog.

About brassedoff.net

Why brassedoff.net? Am I really that brassed off with life? Is it something to do with the film of the same name?

No. I'm not brassed off with life. The only tenuous connection with the film of the same name is that I've been and still am a player in a traditional brass band and was long before the film was thought of. Indeed, elsewhere on this server (also accessible through its own domain name, you'll find the web site for Chapeltown Silver Prize Band, a north Sheffield-based brass band.

Also, lurking around on this site, also with it's own domain name, is the world-famous Gardencam - the 24/7 view of our back garden.

If you're looking for regular updates from the world of brassedoff.net, you may be better off reading one of the two blogs hosted here.

David's blog can be reached by clicking on this link which will take you to http://www.brassedoff.net/wp. If you're more of a knitter or spinner, you may find more to keep you amused at WoolForBrains.net which is Caroline's blog. Caroline blogs every weekday. I blog when I have something to write about (not that I'm implying that Caroline blogs for the sake of it - she just puts more effort into it).

The other thing that's lurking around on this server is the Killamarsh Forum. It's not heavily used, and I'm open to suggestions for improvement.

There's a little lemon box on the top left of each page. If you click on the links bit, it should expand to show a number of relevant links for the page you're currently on.

If you're a member of Killamarsh Parish Council, thanks for making it this far! Try out some of the links above and have an explore. There are lots of pages here... but I can't vouch for the fact that they're worth visiting!

interactive statistics

The temperature in the study is currently 29.9 C

That number is live, updated every ten seconds. Would you like to know how it works? Come back soon when I've written up the page!

(Actually, I don't believe it - I think the temperature sensor is wrong, but I've never had a chance to calibrate it. I think I need to dunk it in a bucket of ice).

recent additions

I've just uploaded another photo album from our 2006 Summer holiday on a narrowboat cruising around Stratford On Avon. Check the albums page for more information.

about us

David, Caroline and Daniel. There's not much under any of those links at the moment, but David has also started a blog this year. He had intended writing the software himself but he's since given up and has installed Wordpress instead. All the data in the old blog has been moved across to the new one..

XBOX modding

Read about my XBox modding exploits and how I created a great media centre for under £40 (not including the cost of the Xbox!)

geograph.co.uk

The geograph project is something I've recently become interested in. The aim is to photograph every 1km square on the Ordnance Survey grid. Seeing as there wasn't much around Sheffield, I'm hoping to bag quite a few firsts. This link shows the photos I've submitted so far.

Where next?

The links (top left) suggest places you might like to go from here. I've recently penned a few words about the Vazon sliding bridge over the canal at Keadby. On the subject of canals, I've started to chronicle our first ever boating holiday. Because I'm pretty sure we'll be taking another, I've created a boating holidays home page.

Selections from our photo albums covering a wide range of subjects are also online.

Tim Brimble

For a while, these pages held a book of condolence for Tim Brimble who died suddenly on 7th July, 2005. The messages can still be read but the book itself is closed. You can read the messages left by friends and family here.

About this site

I've tested this site with Firefox, IE5 / 6 and Konqueror (KDE3.4). Other than some video which may not be as cross-platform as it should, pretty much everything works as it should. If you've not made the switch yet, can I suggest that you...
