An open letter to Quentin Tarantino
Thursday 22 March 2007
Quentin, my main man:
Hope you're well. I haven't heard from you for a while: I've been getting a bit worried. I sure do hope you weren't too offended by all that Quentin's-sold-out-and-betrayed-his-indie-roots stuff. We were just messin' with you. Anyway, I went to the theatre a couple of weeks ago and had an awesome idea for your next project. This thing's pretty much written for you. That's right. I'm suggesting you produce Hamlet.
Remember what Romeo + Juliet did for Baz Luhrmann? Well, that shows there's a market for this Shakespeare stuff done right, right? The audience is there, and ripe for the picking in the usual T-man style.
I know you like to mix things up a bit chronology-wise. That's where you and the Bard differ slightly: he was more of a
Social Networking Sucks! (Or, why I left Facebook)
Thursday 22 February 2007
It'd take me a long time to explain what Facebook is and what it does if you don't already know. In order to give you some basic idea, though, here is the blurb from the site's home page:
Facebook is a social utility that connects you with the people around you.
Facebook is made up of many networks, each based around a company, region, high school or college.
You can use Facebook to:
- Share information with people you know.
- See what's going on with your friends.
- Look up people around you.

The search for the ideal photo gallery
Wednesday 3 January 2007
Note that this article is about the previous version of this website: since the publication of the article this site has been through another redesign, and another transfer of content-management software: the photos are now entirely hosted and displayed by SmugMug, whereas I was using Flickr (and FAlbum for WordPress) when I wrote this. I’m keeping this article here for the sake of completeness.
The single thing which took the majority of my time in redesigning/restructuring this site recently was the search for a way to publish my photos. I was already using Markku Seguerra‘s iPAP, which was fine in that it did the job but was lacking certain features which would have been helpful as I published ever more photos. Briefly, this is what I was looking for in a photo
Back With A Vengeance

Announcing version 2.0 of richardflynn.net! If you tried visiting the site in the last week or so and were greeted with the rather austere (and buggy) ‘site down’ message, I apologize. As you see, the site is now back up with all of the same content as existed before.
The first thing the returning visitor will notice is the new design. I think this design is cleaner and easier to read than the blues and greens I had before, and this design now stretches to fill the width of your browser window (it is a
More Korean Fun
Thursday 23 March 2006
I'm very aware of the fact that I haven't written anything for the site for more than two weeks now. To those who have been on tenterhooks waiting for word of what I've been up to, I'm sorry. I think I was so occupied in Hong Kong and Singapore that I just didn't get the time to sit down and finish off the description of my time in Korea. Also, I suspect that I didn't really want to write about my time there because I didn't want to dredge up the memories of a time which was at times quite boring (with relatively little to captivate a tourist in any one place) and at others unpleasant (dealing with difficult people).
One drawback, or possibly a benefit, of having delayed so long in writing this entry is that things aren't so fresh in my mind, so I apologise
