Travels and Ravels – Le Puy-en-Velay. Feeling Twee in Le Puy (it rhymes – you’re speaking French! Lyon became a base for several excursions into the French countryside. It was a weird moment when I started planning to come here as its pictures through a 1920’s lens made it seem unreachable. Yet here I was. When they are made available. I was desperate to explore it myself and if anything I was even more awed by the sight than stunning 3″ glass photos promised. Le Puy has three such mountains, for want of...

Travels and Ravels (3) – Daniel Cant
https://danielcant.wordpress.com/2013/10/29/travels-and-ravels-3
Travels and Ravels (3). After much time spent standing around with a huge rucksack at various train stations, bus stops and car parks – stopping at gorgeous cities like Bordeaux and Toulouse, which I sadly have no acceptable photos of – I eventually arrived in sunny, slapdash Marseilles. In the Mediterranean. There is a rather long battle not to board the ferry going to Morocco and be done with it. The Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilizations (MuCEM) was a a truly amazing sight, not only becaus...

Easter Crypto – Daniel Cant
https://danielcant.wordpress.com/2014/04/21/easter-crypto
So in our world encryption and security are a big thing, and my interest has developed into its history through reading about cryptographic systems – secret codes – in books like. By Neal Stephenson. I’d completely forgotten the joy of making a treasure hunt that, that while it uses the principles of serious data protection, is a lot more fun, and instead of personal information, the prize is… Chocolate! I also learned that the Greek. I obviously hand-typed all the clues. So, like Stephenson’s book...

Travels and Ravels – Lyon – Daniel Cant
https://danielcant.wordpress.com/2014/04/07/travels-and-ravels-lyon
Travels and Ravels – Lyon. Voted France’s best city by me, I found both historical beauty and modern culture in a lovely local place that I fell in love with on the very first day. The Town Hall and a lucky snap of unicycling kids. This is where I also did most of my couchsurfing. Lyon is gorgeous. Go there now. I was not disappointed, as these pictures can only hint at the beauty and atmosphere here. Mixing old and new – Rue de la Republique. The inhabitants were of the Londonesque feel – competit...

Words and Clay – Writing From the Heart – Daniel Cant
https://danielcant.wordpress.com/2014/01/30/words-and-clay-writing-from-the-heart
Words and Clay – Writing From the Heart. A Metaphor for Writing. I’ve often turned to Stephen King’s description of the novel writing process from On Writing. Where he describes the act of writing as being like uncovering a dinosaur as opposed to building a house. I like the metaphor immensely, but on the long and frustrating journey to here. Of discipline. By discipline, I don’t mean writing a perfect sentence. I don’t mean. Perfunctly spleeld, advancised grammarly. January 30, 2014. June 5, 2014. Joann...
