This post is a bit of a mix of things I have been up to recently, and things that I am planning to do in the near future as well as some updates on some of my projects.

Consider it a summary post which will fill the gap until I get back into my regular posting schedule.

A couple of years back, back when I had a load more time on my hands I used to have a hobby which I really enjoyed. That hobby was Games Workshop, and more specifically the Warhammer 40,000 gaming system, a rich futuristic world set in the 41st millennium. A world where hulking green Orks are […]

We are 14 days into 2007, so I happen to be fashionable late to this party. Hope everyone had a good Christmas and a fine New Year! This is a brief run down of what I have planned for 2007. It is by no means a small list, but I hope when I look back […]

It’s been over a month since a last posted, that’s a pretty long time so for that I apologise. I’ve been working on a couple of tutorial posts, but I am yet to round them off ready for posting.

Yesterday I got hit by a Van on the way to work as I crossed over a pelican […]

Well, its been a while since I got on here to ramble about life, as I used to in the old days, seems I have been writing marginally useful stuff all of a sudden, so it’s about time I spill some nothingness.

I am a geek; there is no doubt about it, I’m a geek through and through, and one thing that I, as a geek use on a day to day basis is the internet. Heck, I’m a web designer after all, it’s my job. So when I don’t have access to the internet, I start […]

I’ve been meaning to get this post out for about a week, but one thing and another led to delays and pure laziness.

Carrie’s birthday was on the 15th; I took her for a meal got her a CD and made her a piece of ‘art’ I think she liked it, though she will have to get […]

Second blog post on my new computer! This thing runs like a dream, I have to hold in the geek tears of joy every time I kill someone in slow motion on F.E.A.R. Pure Bliss!

F.E.A.R is a brilliant game, after watching Matt Brett’s game play video I was sold. The action sequences are so intense, and […]

The clever ones amongst you will realise that it is 2006, and it has been for the past 10 days. Unsurprisingly 2006 feels a lot like the last bit of 2005, it’s only been 10 days after all. Still things are already looking bright. I knocked up a layout for LUSYN in a weekend, which […]

……and I don’t feel any different. (The New Year, Death Cab for Cutie) Had to start with that lyric, it’s a little bit down, but it has a nice ring to it!

So, I made it to 2006, along with all my friends and family, I have no idea what it has in store for me, its […]

This is now hanging in the reception area at Wye Valley. Im really happy its there, in a space that it deserves.

Well, it’s been a while, again. Got a couple of things to write about, in no particular order. I am slowly getting closer and closer to cracking open Photoshop and starting the layout for V3. I’ve been looking at a lot of blogs and inspiration including 2 geek books I purchased the other day from […]

The plan for this post was to discuss the merger between Macromedia and Adobe which is currently taking place. I don’t know the legal ins and outs of a massive merge like this, nor do I know what it will ultimately lead too, I’m sure its going to be a step in the right direction. […]

Hello everyone! Whoa, another post eh? What are the chances? Well, hopefully the chances are pretty high; I really want to make this blog great. So you can all (addressing you as all, there’s probably only about 4 people who read this?!) help me out by telling me how I can improve it.

The critical splash page is coming along nicely, unsurprisingly I have some CSS issues to fix in (you all guessed it, the scourge of the internet) Internet Explorer! Yay! Apart from that it works very nicely. Will get that sorted as soon as I can then I will get it up on the net for […]

It’s been quite a while again guys, sorry about this. Well, I’m sure you can only take so much of me anyway; maybe it’s a blessing for you guys? I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to November! So I’m a bit late, but I hope you are all having a good […]

I was so enthused to get this blog back on track; I even managed to post pretty regularly for a while. And then it all went to pot, it’s been 2 weeks since I made my last post. I thought I had better get on here and let you all know that I am still […]

Its 10 minutes to 11, in the morning (at least is was when I started writing this) and I should clearly still be in bed. After all I was out last night at the Antelope (good night by the way) and I do have to get up at 6 every morning. I was up for […]

Ok, so I’m going to try and write a blog post despite being attacked by 5 people on msn, I could turn my status to busy, but that’s just impolite. Right I had better get down to it, Chris wants to play Counter strike.

A week of my life as a working guy is over, well, it […]

Well, I’m back again. Thought I better let you all know (2 of you?) that the job is going well! I’m certainly enjoying it, crazy to think I’m doing something I really enjoy, and am going to get paid for it! Wahey!

I have to admit, at the moment I’m finding the design part very hard, I […]

So, its blooming early on Monday morning, but I am up, and surprisingly, I am bloging. I got up at 6 this morning, in preparation for something big that is happening in my life. A JOB! That’s right, I got myself a job. Head over to the Binamic site to see the company I will […]
