February 2005 news

Addition of news feeds for syndication posted 23 Feb 2005 by Dan Karran [permalink] I have today added an news feed to allow people to keep up to date with what is happening here at dankarran.com using their favourite news reader programme. For those of you looking confused at the moment, news readers are programmes that go out onto the internet for you and pick up any new articles from news feeds you are subscribed to. These could be online news sites such as the BBC or the Guardian, they could be people's weblogs (blogs) or any other things which offer you the ability. If you are new to news readers, check out Slate.com's article How To Speed-Read the Net for further information.

Chinese New Year photos from London's Chinatown posted 10 Feb 2005 by Dan Karran [permalink] With it being the Chinese New Year I spent some time on Wednesday wandering around London's Chinatown district to absorb some of the atmosphere and take some photos. Most of the photos - which I have added to the existing Chinese New Year photo gallery - are taken along Gerrard Street in the heart of Chinatown. The streets are adorned with lanterns, kites and other decoration along with plenty of people celebrating the Chinese New Year.

Happy Chinese New Year! posted 9 Feb 2005 by Dan Karran [permalink] Today marks the first day of the new year in the Chinese calendar. Happy New Year! This year - 4702 in the Chinese calendar - is characterised by the Rooster. If you are interested, I have in my photography galleries some photos of previous Chinese New Year celebrations from London in 2003.
