Coming soon to a browser near you…

It feel like its been ages since I launched a new site and yes, it has been a long time… Mainly because the project I’m winding up next week has been a year in the making and is now winding up to launch phase. Thats had me buried in the sand for the last month.

A little disappointed with the Search Engine Room workshop…

I thought I’d do some professional development and go along to ‘The Search Engine Room‘ workshop last week in Auckland.

The future’s bright, the future’s.. em quite old looking…

Local elections have wound up here in Whangarei and I have to say I’m a little disappointed with the results.

Going by the look of who got in, it seems to me that logic around these parts is to flick through the candidate book and pick the oldest, tightest, meanest looking person in it and vote for them.

New Zealand’s Best…

Ok, I’ve been guilty of overlooking validation when it comes to launching sites on a budget… But, recently I’ve been assigned some pretty big sites to develop (big in relation to previous sites..) and I’d thought I’d do my best to make sure they validated. All in all, its been a pretty painless process and I’m pleased to say I’m even getting 1.0 strict sites together.
