Yes, it’s true – I have entered a full Iron-distance event: Ironman Copenhagen 2022. If you are new to the site, my name is Anthony and I’m based in Maidstone, UK. I intend to document my journey along the way, to share my thoughts and experiences as my training progresses. But first, a little bit […]
Self-Hosted Streaming Server – NGINX + RTMP – YouTube + Facebook Live
I’m writing these notes up, mainly as a reference for me in the future – but they might just help others looking to do similar. Issue: During the Coronavirus season, our church, like many, ventured into the world of streaming services, primarily to YouTube but with an eye to multiplexing to both YouTube and Facebook […]
Bluetooth Foot Pedal for Onsong – an alternative to Airturn ?
Project History! The intention of this post is to serve as an aide-memoire for a little project I’ve been working on recently. From time to time, I lead worship at my church, and play acoustic guitar. For song lyrics / chord charts I use a popular app on IOS called Onsong. A while ago I […]

Running for WaterAid
I realised it would probably be helpful to share some of the background to why I am running the Marathon, who I will be running for and why. Why am I doing this ? I had the opportunity to go to Rwanda in 2005 and I have very clear memories from that trip of seeing […]
Marathon Training plan choices?
I know there is a long way to go before April, but I figured I would start looking at choices for Training plans….and I’m glad I looked now. There are so many choices! In fact, it’s quite bewildering how many variations there are. Some focus on time-based runs, some on mileage, while others different again. […]
Ballot results are in!
This week the ballot results for entry into the Virgin London Marathon 2016 are being sent out. I have seen a lot of posts on Facebook from friends receiving the pack through the post, containing the magazine indicating whether the ballot entry was successful or not.
