Development

Posted on 2 February 2012 by admin

Because of a few things I’ve not quite got round to fixing the issues I’m aware of on Anna’s site, most notably there is an issue with WordPress which means every time the software is updated it decides to delete the whole media gallery which explains why some images are missing and some are not.

I’ve got a few things on at the moment but once everything has calmed down the first thing on my agenda is the redesign of her site to fit in with her corporate colours as blue/white are not those but first I’ve got to finish the iPhone/iPad App I’ve been designing.

I’ve spent roughly 4 weeks so far planning the various components of the App, built wireframes, photoshop documents dictating the look and feel of every page so for once I’m not taking this lightly and when I get round to finishing it I want it done properly.

I’m also thinking about rebuilding this template again, currently I’ve built it so when I had the time I could make it work in IE6 with the PNG’s, but now, if honest I don’t really care about IE6, or IE for that matter, I want to build it in CSS3 and if I’m doing that then I’ll have to forget about some features in IE although I could force them to work using javascript but I’d definitely have to forget about IE6.

Almost finished Anna’s website.

After several weeks of development and numerous arguments over irrelevant details the site is now live and almost finished.

I’ve a few things to work on such as SEO and getting the contact form working but other than that it is almost there.

Annoyingly though I think the design for Anna’s website is quite similar to the design for my website which wasn’t planned but more coincidence since those where the colours that worked best for her company.

We’ve a few weeks left now but after all the mayhem she’s gone through with Pets at Home over the last few months we’re finally coming to the end of the problems I hope and this will kick things off for us long term.

New Tattoo

Murder of Crows tattoo

Murder of Crows tattoo

Ok, so this weekend I finally did what I’ve been planning on doing for the last 9 years and I eventually got myself a new tattoo.

I’ve been designing and designing them for years but never got round to actually carrying out he final step and getting it done, well now I have. I already have one tattoo so this wasn’t anything new, I just couldn’t stick 100% to a design I created.

This design I came up with 2 or 3 weeks ago and I quite like it, it’s simple and quite interesting I think, I have no reason for the design other than I like it so I’m not going to start talking to people about how it symbolises this that or the other as it doesn’t, it’s a murder of crows flying and there is nothing else to it.

What do you think?

Summer photos

Spent the last two days relaxing at home and generally not doing much, went for 2 short walks and took my camera with me on both occassions to take some photos and these are what I have.

New site finally here

Posted on 25 June 2011 by admin

Ok, so I’ve finally got round to finishing my site (kind of, not browser tested or actually tested anything) but anyway, my site is now up and live for yal to see.

It’s live, twitter and facebook social media links are here, I’ve still got a few small areas to work on but all in all I’m happy (ish) and now I can move onto my next phase.

I hope you all enjoy.

Tattoo’s, Websites and Photography

Horses feeding on the hill at sunset on the farm

Horses feeding on the hill at sunset

Ok, so more a random update to again see if things are working fine.

I’ve booked myself in for a tattoo this coming weekend and will hopefully be coming out of there with some weird and wonderful art work I’ve put together quickly over the last few days.

To go with that I’ve also spent the last few weeks repeatedly going over and over all the details I need for Anna’s website for her company that she is setting up so my time is quite full at the moment.

Also, on top of that, I’m really getting sick and tired of waiting for my canvas print to arrive, I’ve taken a photo over at Clive’s farm of some of his horses feeding during sunset and I’m getting it printed onto a canvas to put up onto the wall yet it still has not arrived, I wish it would hurry up as I keep forgetting I’ve not told Anna I’ve ordered it.

New site coming soon

Posted on 19 June 2011 by admin

ok, So i’ve been farting around for god knows how long and still havn’t got any closer to doing my new site so I’m finally pulling my finger out……….again.

This is it as it currently stands and I’ve a few little bits and pieces I’d like to piece together and finish off styling up but mostly I think it’s nearly there as a general template, but ultimately what I’d like to do if I can is link this up to Facebook and Twitter so I’d not have to update it at all which is extremely lazy but it’s what I’m planning on doing.
