About

Welcome to the Notice Bored

Welcome to my blog.

This blog-stroke-website is my way of putting something back in to web it will not come close to what I have taken out but hey we all have to do our bit!

Well if you have not guessed by now my name is Tarkan.

I am an Electronic Engineer by profession, I currently work as a technical manager at a company which provides radio equipment for the live entertainment industry. So I am involved in behind the scene kind of stuff that helps create some of the concerts and television programmes that you see.

Beyond RF equipment, I have in recent years dabbled in website and database development work which I find quite challenging and exciting!

SITE

So what are you to expect from this site, well firstly expect to see the odd ~~rant~~ sounding off at the strangeness of everyday life and at the mechanisms put in place to control everyday life i.e. politics. I will place these posts under the category ‘Bollotics’ I can hear the why’s already! Well in my view of the world B*ll*cks and Politics are interchangeable terms so I bought them together! stroke of genius!

Moving on swiftly, you can expect to find other more pleasant items which are of interest to me.

Photography - I have really got in to photography over the last 3-4years massing over 15000 images, making my way through several cameras, and plastering the walls with large prints. Visit my gallery.

Gadgets- I am a self-confessed gadget nut, so expect to see some reviews of ’stuff’ especially when I have things to moan about (us British are born to whinge!!).

Technology- This kind of overlaps with gadgets but I do love technology and especially the application of technology. So expect to read about things I find ‘neat‘ ‘cool‘ ‘wow’.

Home Media- This mates technology and gadgets to produce what will be happening in the home in the future, except no need to wait for the future some amazing things are happening right now!

If thats not enougth for you I may even post about the things I get up to at work which I think people may find interesting.

So please visit regularly.

Hello Tarkan,

I browsed thru your web page (mainly the iPod new article) and loved the way the HTML / Macromdeia work.
As a fellow webster, I wanted to know where could I get the code.

I would love to have similar effect display picture (enlarge/grey out background) on my personal webspace.

Hope you can assist.

Kind Regards.
Danny

Hi Danny,

The effect you are looking at is a wordpress plugin by Lokesh Dhakar - lightbox2.

I have modified it from the original code just a little (mainly colour scheme).

Plugin can be found here :- http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox2/

hope this help, if you need anymore help let me know.

regards, Tarkan

Danny - If you want that same effect, do what I did: look at the page’s source. It’s right in there.

(I’ll give you a hint, it’s a JS effect called L____B_x)

LightBox2.
