Anybody need a pea, Dave has added a collection of vegetables and has also made a poppy for remembrance day on the home page

Last weekend Dave spent some time with his grandchildren and had a great time. He has been complaining of aches and pains but that is what you get when you play table tennis, snooker and run about like a mad thing... someone should tell him he is no longer a teenager. Not much animation work has been made and this weekend I have told him to decorate the new bedroom for his daughter. I cannot repeat what the reply was and still keep my lovely little message board respectable.

The chocolate animated gifs may be a little delayed!

"Maybe by next week" ..... Well done Dave! we now have a collection of leaves and one solitary little acorn. He is now working on animated vegetables, I have seen some of his ideas for animating a carrot, all I can say is "Its a little different"
On the message board Ruth has suggested animated Smarties, chocolate bars and other goodies, Dave liked this idea, so much so he has sent me out to get some "models" for this work. Looks like an excuse for him to have a nibble, he really is a chocaholic and needs to watch his waistline.

Happy Halloween

Dave has finished and uploaded the religious (Christian) gif animation page.

I think this one has worked out well, another good bit of work from Dave, like a good whiskey he improves with age.

Ruth left a message on our board and said she liked leaves etc so Dave is now working on some. He had the original oak leaf that he used to use on this sites home page and of course the acorn so these will be used with the addition of some others..... maybe by next week.

We are still getting a lot of thanks from teachers and students for being able to use our work, it seems sevenoaksart is being recommended to many schools now, we are only too pleased to help.

Steve from the Whitby Wolves Bantam B Ice hockey team contacted Dave to see if he could make a spinning Halloween Puck animation. Dave already makes these so this project appealed to him and he has made several here

Another request for a Chad animation ... this time for Wot - No phone call... it has been added to the ever growing collection. Dave never gets any phone calls so he knows the feeling.

Dave is a not a Church goer but considers himself a Christian but God knows what made him come up with an idea for a set of Christian gif animations, he is working on them now and I must admit that some are starting to look very good. Next week should see these added to our ever growing web site

As Dave said we now have some gardening animations here

A lotus has now been added to the Indian gifs page

Dave has also been busy making a website for a good friend so if you live in the Sevenoaks Area and want a computer engineer visit the Site

I am not sure if Dave has any new animations planned for next week, he says he has a few ideas but not sure if any will work

Now something new altogether - a page with cooking animations, a bowl, a whisk, chefs hat, wooden spoon and frying pan.

These animations were Dave's idea, he is always thinking about food and loves a fry up but I am afraid it is not good for him and I make him follow these guidelines

Next week Dave hopes to have some gardening animations, blimey he is getting more like Jamie Oliver by the minute, combing cooking eating and gardening, shame the old boy has not got Jamie's good looks.

 


22nd Sept 2007


A page with Indian animated gifs has been made, we have animated rupees, bank notes, stamps and even an Indian mug of tea.

Some of the suggestions for Indian animations were good , some just silly because Dave cannot draw a Bow and Arrow.

Have a look at our new? message board, we have now added a thread for anybody needing information or looking for relatives in the Sevenoaks area. Of Course you can even start your own thread, pop in and say Hello.

A Flash Gatso and Dalek has been made and you can see it here
Flash animations are not like gifs and you can not just download them and expect them to animate.
They have to be inserted into a html page to work, if you cannot do this Dave has made a page which you can download with the in the zip file, just follow the instructions in the readme file.

We are still getting a lot of emails from students asking permission to use our animations in their course work and projects, and they are most welcome to, Dave finds it very flattering.

Our webstats show us that the USA are our best "customers" followed by the UK and then India.
To show our appreciation for all the Indian visitors Dave will be making some animations with an Indian flavour.
Suggestions welcome but please do not suggest a curry.
