I need photos of me for my website. I think. I’m not sure – yes, it’ll personalise my site, but most of the photos of me I have ever seen are of me looking somewhat rough, drunk, tired, or all of the above. None of which are particularly professional aspects of myself to show the […]

I’m bored. I’ve being doing something exceedingly dull all day for work and it’s really tough. Now there’s nothing on TV. So I’m going to start a project I thought of a while ago and never did. I’m going to email or write (actual postal letters) to people who’ve made me smile or whose work […]

I just had a most enjoyable weekend. Friday was spent as tour-guide and sober person for a colleague’s night out with some non-Cambridge friends; although there was lots of pressure to find nice places to go, the people were very nice and we ended up having fun. A late, late night though. Saturday meant a […]

Clever me. I managed to truncate my blog post on a link element and break my website layout by effectively removing a div tag. Chances? Low. Rate of occurence? High. Think I’ve cracked the navigation though…

Following on from yesterday’s post, I’ve had a look at the navigation on the site and I think I know what I’m going to do with it now. I thought I’d also point out some nice looking sites which – although they don’t have the “oh my god – I’ve never seen anything like that […]

I’m struggling with Maltpress.co.uk re-design stuff. I can’t figure out how to get my menus looking good. I’ve tried A List Apart’s Sliding Doors technique and – while it’s good looking, easy, surprisingly code-light and generally very good, it doesn’t fit with the way the site looks. I’ve done most of the page without thinking […]

I’m not known for being a happy person in general. But at the moment I am. Things are going well for me. As you can see below, I’ve completed probably the biggest project of my working life so far. I’ve handed my notice in and all sorts of exciting prospects await me. I’d like to […]

…so far, that is. I’ve just launched (well, yesterday) a jolly big website, which I’ve been working on for months. I’d like to say “single-handedly”, but the design work was done by Pixelwork, who provided me with some lovely (but empty) HTML pages – about 12 of them I think – which I then built […]

Well, certainly the morning off. I’ve only just got up and I’m sitting in my pants. Hurrah! The site build I’ve been working on for the past few months is coming along really nicely now. I’m launching on Tuesday, so watch this space. I’ve also handed my notice in. Hurrah! Maltpress Web Consultancy is go. […]

…quit my job. Eeek. In three months’ time I’ll be unemployed, unable to sign on, and having to fend for myself. Does anyone want to buy an MG? Or give me some money? Or hire me? Or just tell me it’ll be OK and I won’t be poor at Christmas?
