Tim Bray is giving some great advice to developers about how to survive the downturn. Given the state of the stock market this morning it's good advice !

Google App Engine

noreply@blogger.com (Richard) — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 23:26:00 +0000

Having decided that I would have a play with my AppEngine account and try and produce a simple web app, I now find myself learning Python, webapp, GQL and Django.

Not bad for a VB.Net developer with no spare time!

New Latop

noreply@blogger.com (Richard) — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 19:51:00 +0000

Well my alienware laptop has arrived, and as usual with new hardware I have completely rebuilt the operating system and the software stack to give me the computer that I want. It is now ready to use in anger, and this post is the start of that. We are starting some more web development tasks, and I am going to start building an Actinic site in the next couple of days, so watch out for some posts on my experiences. ;)

AlienSkys

noreply@blogger.com (Richard) — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 11:50:00 +0000

Uploaded a new holding page for alienskys.co.uk as I wanted somewhere to play with jQuery. Since finding this library I have been slowly replacing prototype.js with it across all our sites, as it is lighter weight, hosted by google ajax api, and I find it much easier to develop with.

New Projects.

noreply@blogger.com (Richard) — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 21:39:00 +0000

We are currently working on some interesting new internal projects, which have both Laura and myself excited ! More will be revealed in future posts... ;)

jQuery

noreply@blogger.com (Richard) — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 21:32:00 +0000

Been playing with jQuery with an aim to replace prototype.js and script.aculo.us. Now that the minified version of jQuery is hosted on google, we will be using it more in our websites, as we get the benifit of jQuery's smaller size, and google's servers hosting the script for us to improve speed and cache ability.

noreply@blogger.com (Richard) — Fri, 09 May 2008 22:16:00 +0000

As part of the re-design we will also be changing the blogger template to match in with the rest of the site instead of using one of the provided templates. Once this is live please let us know if you notice any unwanted stuff happening when you view this blog.

Website Re-design

noreply@blogger.com (Richard) — Thu, 08 May 2008 23:34:00 +0000

www.frozenskys.co.uk is currently being re-designed, for a leaner, cleaner layout - hopefully to provide a more pleasant user experience. The new site should be up early next week.

Fame at Last....

noreply@blogger.com (Richard) — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 14:25:00 +0000

One of our web designs has made it into the silverlight.net showcase !! The Concique site for an executive leisure company, specialising in yacht rental/care and villa rental in the south of France can be found here and the silverlight.net pages can be found right here

Silverlight Site

noreply@blogger.com (Richard) — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 20:26:00 +0000

Just released a new silverlight site for a client:- it is now live at http://www.concique.co.uk/ it still needs some work on the SEO side as silverlight suffers from the same problem as flash for keywords and page links.

Anyway if you want to rent a luxury yacht, or villa in the south of France then concique is the company to do it with!

Future Of Web Design

noreply@blogger.com (Richard) — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 22:30:00 +0000

Just back from FOWD '08 in London, where we learnt a lot, not only about web designs, but also about the designers and the processes that they follow. I would definitely recommend this event in the future. Find more details here.
