Not one for being all soppy and shit. But, this weekend was a blast. Lad day on Saturday with Ikea, DIY, Betting on the football, watching the football, winning bets on the football, power napping, nandos take out and When Harry met Sally. 
Camden Crawl on sunday was an unexpected treat and huge amounts of fun, lots of beer, friends, bands and hangs. perfect for a sunday, not to mention a spot of bike building in the morning. 
Finished off with photoboothing yesterday, lunch at breakfast club, a tourist visit to St. Pauls, walking up to the JC store off Carnaby, and then back east for dinner at Shoreditch house. Finally, finished with drive, just to sweeten an already great bank holiday weekend. 
Couldn’t ask for more.

So this is why Facebook bought it for $1billion. 

Instagram has the power to do this.

Fishtagram - the instragram protest.

real social media. 

finally got the first stage of my instagram web app to work. still a long way off from being finished, but at least it works. 
After using a blog post from forrst and it not only didnt work very well, but it didnt fetch back data, and then went on to break, AND to then break the other query I was using. Basically a massive hassle, SO. back to the drawing board I rewrote the script using JSON and PHP with some cURL thrown in for good measure. Coupled with some tips from the instagram api service, authenticated it and parsed the data! 
Lovely.
