Redesign Web Site?

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

Damn.  It’s only been 7 months since I redesigned my web site, and already I have itchy fingers!  Although I’m really loving the dark opacity I’ve now incorporated, I’m always fascinated by web sites that employ jQuery and it’s smooth vertical scrolling (example, please only visit if you have imagination).

I’m getting married!

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

I have the pleasure and am very excited to announce that I am getting married to Clare Hamilton, on the 8th May.

What does this mean to you?  From Friday 8th May – Monday 25th May I will not be available for work of any kind, as I will obviously be getting married, and then touring Canada.  For those that are interested, I will be updating my personal blog (not classed as work!) while I’m away…….if Clare allows me.

If you have any urgent issues or enquiries while I am away, please send them to urgent@SwellDesigns.co.uk and they will get looked at. Please send all other enquiries, questions and general issues to my usual email address, listed above near the menu.

Hello iPhone…

Thursday, February 12th, 2009

My old Sony Ericsson died, and it was just the excuse I needed to get an iPhone.

If anyone is still undecided, let me help you…get one!

Very sexy, and a pure delight to operate.

I suppose it’s functional as well! Love that fact that pulls all my email from various accounts.

And loving the Application store. Here’s a few of my recommendations:

  • AirMe
  • eBay Mobile
  • Facebook
  • iFooty
  • ITN News
  • midomi
  • MMS Photo Messaging
  • Remote
  • Sky+
  • Skype
  • TwitterFon
  • uTrackMe Lite
  • Wunder Radio

It’s been snowing!

Monday, February 2nd, 2009

We don’t get it often here in the south of England, and yes it’s only an inch (if that!), but it’s still snow.

Shame my office is in my house…
