This was another part of our fair ground exhibition. The kids from Pyramid helped me make a fantastic stop frame animation of us all on a roller coaster.

We started off by making a roller coaster car and photographing ourselves in it. We then took those photos and made cut-outs from them. The group had painted a wonderfully chaotic looking roller coaster ride and we places the cut-outs on this.

It took about a hundred photos to do this animation. I had a little team of people in a corner doing this in shifts while the rest of the group got stuck into the rest of the project.

When we showed this at Chapel Allerton Festival we made a little video box for it, with a big red button that you pressed to start it off. That little extra element of interaction, made it that bit more exciting for people. It was great to see people enjoying it and the kids from the group being proud that they'd made it.

Today our interactive ghost house went on show, and the public loved it. This is the first art project that I've run and I'm so pleased with what we've done and how well it has gone.

I've volunteered with Pyramid of Arts for a while. They run art groups for people with and without learning disabilities. Running the group brings a lot more responsibility, but the ideas themselves come from the group. I was working with the Youth Group. The kids were fantastic and full of ideas. The difficult part was choosing the best ideas.

I started this project with the idea of creating a musical sculpture, but somehow that evolved into a funfair. The centre piece was a ghost house that used burglar alarms hooked up to a computer to play ghost sounds when someone walked in.

We showed our ghost house and funfair at Chapel Allerton Festival. We were tucked away in one of the few parts of the festival to be inside. Luckily for us, the torrential rain brought floods of visitors our way looking for shelter. They found it in the spooky haunted house.

I was really happy to see the public enjoying it. Many people went in more than once. The other good thing was seeing how chuffed the kids from my group were that they had made this.

It's been a fab, but exhausting experience. I need a bit of a break, but I'm sure I'll do another Pyramid project when I've recovered.

I loved working on this project. There's something about having a impending ministerial deadline that gets everyone focused. It's one of the few times I get to concentrate on one project and can do it really well.

John Hutton, Secretary of State for the Department for Work and Pensions was holding a series of debates and discussions around the country. This was to be backed up by an on-line consultation survey asking the wider public's opinion.

The questions had been prepared for us and it was down to my team to present them in the best way possible. I designed the survey interface and pair programmed it with David Joseph.

The survey was created using PHP. There were nine pages of questions. Each page validated itself, the answers were collected at the end, and then posted to another server.

The questions, their order and the type of answers were constantly changing right up to the deadline. We created validation routines that were generic enough to cope with this really well. It also means they can be easily reused on future surveys.

This Guardian article talks about the on-line debate before it was live. On the day this BBC article talked about the national events and linked to the debate site. We knew the BBC were going to write about us, and I was a bit disappointed they didn't make a bigger deal of my survey.

The survey was only live for a short time. I'm hoping we'll get to do more on-line consultation stuff. I think there are a lot of exciting possibilities.
