Tonight a bunch of my colleagues (and some of our donors and supporters) will be sleeping in Spitalfields Market to raise money for Centrepoint, the UK's leading youth homelessness charity (also, coincidentally, where I work).

I'm not being sponsored myself, as I'm not staying the whole night (I'm our staff photographer, which means that I need to bail partway through (a bit past midnight) in order to sort out the photos and pass them on to our communications officer, so she can forward them on to the relevant bodies when she gets back to her desk at about 7am - so I will actually be working most of the night instead).

However, if you'd like to provide some support, here's the JustGiving.com page for one of my colleagues instead: http://www.justgiving.com/Asha-Mckenzie

For more information about the charity, go here, or for more about the Sleepout, here.

I've just been asked to take some photos for work this weekend. Of a five-a-side footbal tournament. Not exactly a photographic subject I've ever tried before. Any of the photographers out there (including those who've, say, covered Whitby) got any handy advice for taking photos at sporting events? It's a bit of a change from my usual gig/club/architecture/portrait millieu!

(And this is when I wish I had a 70-200mm (or more) f/2.8 lens! [grin])

Is it possible to create email addresses in Exchange (2000) which are not directly linked to a specific Active Directory user?

( What I'm trying to achieve )

capt_prickle has now resolved this for me - the answer is create a Group object in AD, configured as a Distribution List ... I should have known that. Bugger.

For those who might be interested, there are a couple of opportunities for people who'd like to get involved on the website. Bizarrely, they're in the Jobs section, even though they're not actually paid positions. Anyhow, we/they want:

SANEmail Young Persons' Panel (Email Members)
If you're between 16 and 25 (inclusive), and interested in helping develop our new email-based helpline-equivalent service, have a look. We are looking for more Email Members, rather than Core Members, and people living outside London would be preferred.

Communications Volunteer
Volunteer wanted to support communications and media activity. Skills - interest in the media, MS Office proficiency, experience of internet research¹.

Service User Group Member
A new project involving the people who benefit from the services SANE provides in the development of the charity, with a particular focus on SANELINE.

There is more information about each of these roles, and details of the application procedures, here, if anyone's interested. Deadline for the Service User Group role applications is 5th February - the others are ASAP, as far as I'm aware.

Post left unlocked in case anyone wants to point friends etc in this direction.

¹ Yeah, like any of you have that. [grin]
