Zoe Faulder: Print to Digital to Print
http://apples-bananas.blogspot.com/2013/11/print-to-digital-to-print.html
On reading, writing, publishing and technology. Print to Digital to Print. I thought it was quite interesting that I recently started doing a conversion from digital to print. It’s not something I really expected to be doing but it’s a nice change and is letting me dust the cobwebs off the old typesetting skills. The decision to do this is multi-faceted. It’s all part of a larger project to increase the offerings on a popular digital product for schools. Another reason I’m delighted to be a part of...

Zoe Faulder: Experimentation with Chocolate Chip Cookies
http://apples-bananas.blogspot.com/2014/09/experimentation-with-chocolate-chip.html
On reading, writing, publishing and technology. Experimentation with Chocolate Chip Cookies. Today I'm moving away from my usual topics and going to discuss a topic that is very dear to my heart. Cookies. Chocolate chip cookies to be precise. Now, I know what I like in a chocolate chip cookie - I like M&S's chocolate chip cookies. Big, flat, crunchy outer layer with a chewy centre. A few years ago I found a recipe that was a very good re-imagining of the M&S cookie. Life was bliss. Heated oven to 190 Cen...

Zoe Faulder: The Twisty Turny Path to Web Design/Development
http://apples-bananas.blogspot.com/2014/09/the-twisty-turny-path-to-web-development.html
On reading, writing, publishing and technology. The Twisty Turny Path to Web Design/Development. Many months ago I realised I was a web developer. Since then I have become increasingly convinced this is exactly what I am and have been for a couple of years now. I've been reading up on the skills and experience required for a Junior Web Developer and I was quite surprised to find that I have them all, and to be honest I've had them for a while! So, back to university I went and got that lovely MSc in Inte...

Zoe Faulder: September 2013
http://apples-bananas.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
On reading, writing, publishing and technology. Does Reading as a Past-Time Have a Future? As my experiences evolve so must my blog. My blogging frequency can only be described as sporadic and I feel even that description may be a little too kind. The truth of the matter is I’ve felt I’ve had very little to say about publishing or the written word over the past while as I am no longer working directly in the publishing industry. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I read, I write, I bake and I cycle! If youre in...

Zoe Faulder: Making Websites: A Case for Wordpress
http://apples-bananas.blogspot.com/2014/04/making-websites-case-for-wordpress.html
On reading, writing, publishing and technology. Making Websites: A Case for Wordpress. So - with the ebook thing, the conversion thing, the digital media thing and all that I find myself working with HMTL5 a fair bit - which essentially means, HTML, CSS and Javascript . and maybe a little PHP. So, I do do a fair bit of work with websites: building them, fixing them, changing them. However, I've never really thought of myself as a website developer. Don't get me wrong, I've used other CMSs and quite like ...

Zoe Faulder: Growing Out of Comma Dependancy
http://apples-bananas.blogspot.com/2015/03/growing-out-of-comma-dependancy.html
On reading, writing, publishing and technology. Growing Out of Comma Dependancy. I just went over a short story I wrote about 15 years ago. The first paragraph is essentially two long sentences (41 words). I think I removed about 10 commas as I read it. This trend continued throughout the rest of the story. I was taught punctuation in primary school; I cannot remember the exact year or the teacher but I remember the lesson: “Commas are used whenever there is a natural pause in the sentence.R...This is...

Zoe Faulder: 3D Modelling - It's actually quite fun!
http://apples-bananas.blogspot.com/2014/09/3d-modelling-its-actually-quite-fun.html
On reading, writing, publishing and technology. 3D Modelling - It's actually quite fun! Because I am a fool I never put up the assignments I did during my Masters. I am going to remedy this! Unfortunately I am currently having a mild disagreement with my hosting service so I'm just going to throw up my two 3D Modelling assignments here for now - and hopefully in a day or so I can get them up on my website and get that portfolio working for me. First up, Pov-Ray. Next up, 3D Studio Max. Most of all I love...

Zoe Faulder: Goodbye Google Reader; Long Live Feedly
http://apples-bananas.blogspot.com/2013/03/goodbye-google-reader-long-live-feedly.html
On reading, writing, publishing and technology. Goodbye Google Reader; Long Live Feedly. No doubt you've heard - July this year will see the end of Google Reader. I have extolled the virtues of Google Reader on this blog before. So with the end of Google Reader's life in site I had to consider a replacement and while I came across quite a number of alternatives I have probably followed the masses and am now using Feedly. Four days ago I logged into Feedly with my Google account and everything was there, ...

Zoe Faulder: RIP Sir Terry Pratchett
http://apples-bananas.blogspot.com/2015/03/rip-sir-terry-pratchett.html
On reading, writing, publishing and technology. RIP Sir Terry Pratchett. I am not one to write tributes for public figures but when I found tears welling up in my eyes as I read of Sir Terry Pratchett's death I realised I wanted to write a little something - not for you, dear reader, but for me. I have re-read almost every one of those books, some of them multiple times. Now, if I find myself unable to read anything else I know I can turn to Guards! HUMANS NEED FANTASY TO BE HUMAN. Death, The Hogfather.
