I have been working at Cactus Language in Brighton for a few months now and it is really fun but very very busy at the moment. We are working on adding an 8th website. I also thought just now in September I will have been working online and since Uni for 10 years!!! HMG! I'm old!

17 June 2007 - 2007-06-17 15:19:49

Launched my blog again, and posted some web thoughts and that my brother has opened his first restaurant, so go eat in The Black Rat, Winchester!

17 April 2007 - 2007-04-17 15:19:49

My linkedin profile is now updated ready to look for work.

9 October 2006 - 2006-10-13 21:30:27

Started at netprofess.com. I am working on cheesemakers.co.nz, key-insights.co.uk, changepeople.biz, englishkaraoke.com, so an interesting mix of small clients. Different to be in an agency but nice to be working on new stuff, though time not inhouse means not so much testing and improving.

13 September 2006 - 2006-09-13 21:30:27

Arrived back in Auckland via LA. Flight was ok coming here virgin plane being a bit newer that the Air New Zealand one. Going to be look for work and settling here.

  2. Worked on the popular BlueJacking site www.bluejackq.com to give them more information about their users in phpBB2.

  1. CMA has now evolved through 5 sites and has gone open source with another two core developers
  2. Working to simplify e-newsletter creation by untechnical staff

Original Aim

  1. To have the site template driven from a database. And dynamically change table size depending on the page being generated.
  2. To be able to add items via an IMAP email account that get pulled into the site.
  3. To be able to keep my books listing up to date in a MySQL database with the database of books I carry round on my palm.
