It’s only a matter of time before Web 2.0 becomes sick of my fawning and tells me to leave it alone, resulting in me hiding in its garden at night and stealing underwear from its washing line. But until then I will continue the puppy-dog eyes thing. Today’s great looking bit of kit has the […]
Changes continue apace on www.maltpress.co.uk (which this blog now also appears on). If you visit the site you’ll see some links appearing, most of which lead to a lovely Apache 404 page not found – sorry, but I’ve set up my test server wrong, and overwritten the old site. Anyway, the new version is starting […]
Right, the day job just took over entirely. Done some nice projects; made some very good contacts; got to know the lovely people at Pixelwork and learnt a lot from them. Learnt a new content management system, RedDot. Found out how long it takes to sort hosting out. Fell in love with Web 2.0 even […]
Day-job work has been very, very busy but very, very interesting. I’m doing some major site work at the moment, have just been to a content management conference and – I have to admit – I’m working too many hours. But I’m quite enjoying it. More updates as soon as I get a bit more […]
Hurrah! PHP things have all been going my way tonight, the site’s nearly done, and I’m going to treat myself to an early night. I started work at nine this morning, and beside an hour to bike home and eat, I’ve been working solidly since. Tomorrow night I really must finish my business plan and […]
I’ve been stupid busy just lately and everything seems to have been slipping. I’ve done little bits of everything I intended to – and not really achieved anything. Except breaking not only this blog, but also my PHP parser, by trying to blog an image via Flickr… next time I think I’ll just go the […]
head down for speed Originally uploaded by Maltpress. After an exceedingly busy week at work, I had some R&R this morning in the shape of the British Ploughing Championships in Soham. Not exactly a tense morning of high-octane sport, but very interesting and lovely to get out in the early autumn sun. It was classic […]
Well – that’s it. I’ve turned 27. It’s not too bad. I’ve got a day off work today, which is nice. I’ve been doing loads of work on the site, the test page of which can be found at www.juicyfly.com/index2.php. I’m pretty pleased with the way it’s turning out. Cambridge Comedy Club things are kicking […]
Throughout this I’ve never claimed to be a web designer or even that technical. I know how to create useable sites, and sites which fulfil marketing needs, but in terms of PHP or CSS hacks or anything like that I knew I might have to learn a bit. Well, I’ve already learnt a fair amount […]
I’m really, really tired and the pain in my shoulder is telling me one thing: I need to invest in a proper chair for this desk. I’m slouching. The day job’s stunningly busy at the moment (and because it’s paying the bills at the moment it has to take precedence; there’s also the fact that […]
