Posted on 1st August 20218th August 2021 by timothyblake

Since currently being in a world wide pandemic this has meant I’ve been unable to travel. Holidays and traveling is something I’ve learnt to now have a great appreciation for being able to unwind and take in different surroundings and culture. This post is flash back some photography captured when

During my vacation I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to visit the ancient roman city of Tarragona, which was once inhabited by romans 10,000 years ago. A lot of the ancient historical architecture is still in place, which the romans built all those years ago. It was fascinating to see, and one of the highlights my trip.

This is a new addition to my cycling dashboard, which i wrote about a couple months ago. The landing page showcases 50 of my last rides in three charts, which includes distance, speed and heart rate.

Cycling dashboard – Strava API

Posted on 1st April 202116th March 2021 by timothyblake

This has been an incredibly enjoyable project to have worked on the past few weeks. This is a new addition to the Timothyblake.com website. The new page is a Cycling Dashboard, which essentially acts as cycling diary capturing my last 30 bike rides and outputting some great stats on those bike rides, also map which shows a heatmap of last 10 bike rides.

The website uses my Garmin watch data, which I use for recording my bike ride the distance, elevation speed etc. This data is the synced with Strava. Strava has an API, which I’m currently using the API feed to pull through my cycling data onto a page.

The cycling dashboard collates together my last 30 rides into a table allowing me have an overview to view of data on recent bikes rides the data includes ride time, distance, heart rate, speed, max speed, activity time and date. There’s also an induvial page for each ride, which breaks down the ride data even further, and displays a map of the route I cycled. This has been fun project and webpage I visit after almost every bike ride.

Over 2 Million views on Unsplash

Posted on 1st March 202110th April 2021 by timothyblake

A new massive milestone reached on Unsplash over 2 million photo views on my profile. A massive thank you to everyone who has viewed one of my photos, and even download or used in a project.

Photography is hobby of mine, which I don’t spend an awful lot of time on refining that skill set. Its absolutely jaw dropping that I’ve reached 2 million page views across all my photos combined. On average i receive 100,000 views a month. Its been difficult taking new photos, because of the covid-19 pandemic to capture new photographs, but hopefully all being well I capture new photographs towards the end of the year.

Please check out my Unsplah profile here and view all the photos I’ve uploaded.
