Selene M. Bowlby, a web designer and developer who has recently taken the jump into full time freelance work has just posted a blog entry with 60+ essential feeds for freelance web designers. She made the post in response to an open thread on Freelance Folder asking “How Do You Stay Sharp?”.
As a web developer, […]

I’ve been very quiet for the last 6/7 weeks.  Everything has been a bit crazy at work – lots to do, lots already done, but not much to show for all the effort!
Over the last few months we’ve been busy working on several new websites, a fair number of which have now been handed to […]

As I mentioned in an entry earlier this month, I’ve spent virtually every minute of every day (when not eating, sleeping or going to the gym) working on numerous projects for both VSI and my freelance clients. The first, a revamp of my blog was finished 2 weeks ago, the second was finally finished […]

After 4 years of lectures, coursework, projects, dissertations and exams, its finally time for me to enter the real world.  My time at Swansea University has come to an end.
Just over a week ago I was given the result of all this hard work - a Master of Engineering in Computing with Upper Second Class […]

As part of the major upgrades we put into place on the Waterfront website two weeks ago (link), we submitted the website for inclusion on the Google News index. For those that don’t know, Google News scans news websites from across the world and aggregates them into one system. This is a fantastic […]

Yup, yet again I’ve failed to keep my blog up to date. To be totally honest, there hasn’t really been anything particularly interesting happening that’s been worth a blog post.
Work is continuing on Project Metis – expect a detailed blog post on this in the next week or so where I will formally introduce […]

Well, where i work has made the papers today. VSI-Thinking has just won a major contract with the Celtic Manor Resort - one of the country’s top hotels. We are producing a website that will feature a new design (produced by the Celtic Manor’s inhouse team), the redevelopment of all back end systems, […]

It dawned on me that apart from some very sparse updates, I haven’t really posted much on this blog recently.  Bearing this in mind, I thought I would fill everyone in on some of the things I’ve been doing / working on over the past few weeks.
Since the Summer Ball / Escape into the Park […]
