Monday happy days

Bonjour,

Today was the start of the business week for me and many others. It always seems like the longest day to me even though that is impossible, but we won't get started on improbability.

Lots of changes in the works that I started working on today which was kool, looking forward to getting the feedback in my meeting tomorrow so I can see if I have gone in the right direction.

In the web development stance i have been researching brushes and thing I can come up with a awesome header for a vector styled site. I haven't been able to find a style of font I like at the moment which sucks if you guys have any good fonts you want to throw my way, comment below and it will be very awesome of you :-)

Hmm ill leave this here for now as I have gone from no posts to 3 in as many days.

Ta ta for now,

Site Redesign

Howdy,

Well from the post yesterday you will have seen that the site will be going through a redesign and port to WordPress.

Ideas are the tough thing for me having spent a few hours looking through alot of sites all i can see is that i am not that good with the design process, i really love the vector designs i have seen but and still a newbie when it comes to creating vectorised graphics if anyone has any helpful tips feel free to let me know.

The other designs that i have been looking into are minimalist designs then link in some jquery and icons to give it flare These are much more in my grasp as I have some wireframe sketches done. I think this will be my start and ill will do some research into vectorised graphics creation.

Its back to work for me tomorrow which is awesome got alot of design and coding coming up which is really going to help me out with my redesign.

Well i think it is time to start dinner,

See ya.

So much to tell, such little time…

Transmission incoming,

Its has been some time since i have been here to update but since the last post alot has happened.

Right so here we go sit back and try not to fall asleep....

Best Buy UK has closed it doors and is no more this happened around the 14th of January which made some people at risk of loosing jobs, but Carphone Warehouse put out a nice offer attempting to redeploy the majority of staff which made myself and others feel at ease, I wont go into what others thought of the process.

The whole closure has helped me to really achieve something i have been attempting to gain access to for many years, that is a job i like in an area i love.

I am now the Front End Web Developer for Geek Squad UK handling updates, design work and many other aspects of www.geeksquad.co.uk , I am loving the job and the challenge it is giving me. This spur into the word of development has put me on the rung for my career working for such a big company as their FE Web Dev is just awesome. My team is great and i cant put into words how happy i am about how this all turned out needless to say i am very happy indeed :-)

Due to the nature of my work and the learning i am going through. I have decided that is about time i created a new design for my site and then link it all into WordPress so the site is much more dynamic. I will then progress onto developing my own CMS to handle the site so that the site can keep up with the times.

Until next time,

It is time to move on a use the skills i have be blessed with... SELECT * FROM Jobs WHERE Title='Coding Legend' OR Title='FrontEnd Developer'

Will my current knowledge and the skills i will be improving upon in the next few weeks i am hoping there is something out that i Dream off, Namely coding and website development stuff would be pukka!

Touchpad blogging part deux,

Howdy again,

I am more determined to make this more like a real entry rather than the other entries I did a few days back.

Well it is a cold Sunday morning and I have work which is ok I'm just up a tad to early for my liking on a Sunday. 
I will however be in the precinct at work today got lots of work to do including boot camping a mac so the main partition will fit onto a smaller ssd. That be the only way I can think of atm,

Managed to get my touchpad overclocked to 1.7ghz yesterday but it felt unstable so I set it back to 1.5ghz as it feels a lot more stable and doesn't involve shutting of a core when not in use. The kernel I was using can actually go to 1.9ghz but I wasn't going to mess around in that territory for now. 

In other news I have my driving test on September 17th so I'm looking forward to that as it will be awesome when I can drive as it means no more getting the train and bus. YAY.

I have my fingers crossed for an android port for the touchpad but for now I hope people carry on developing for it and the community grows. 

I will leave this post here for now... Bye bye

Touchpadding like a boss!

Welcome,

I said I would do another post and it is about a day after the first test post to make sure that the app works on the HP Touchpad. 

Well this is the second time I have used this app on my touchpad and I must say it is pretty damn awesome. The keyboard is very responsive and typing a lengthy amount is very nice.

There are a few little bug bears I have with the app but hopefully they get sorted out in updates we shall wait and see. 

So long for now!

DDDDDDEEP FRIED!

Hello all, I apologise for the seemingly random title for more this post but if you navigate your way to epicmealtime.com you will understand if you don't want may you be forever in the dark!

It is shaping up to be a pretty odd week so far, my store is going through a little refurb which makes it look crappy, but traffic has gone up which is always good keeps me busy anyways. Lots of new laptops coming to the table so the pre-ops are ramping up to get the services rolling.

I will write another blog entry soon with a review of Google Plus for anyone who does know what it is and I will also send an invite to anyone who comments :p

Currently reading the books to the hit tv show Game of thrones it is awesome to see the slight differences between them loving them so far and the novel way in which the books are constructed chapterwise, more detail when I review.

I will bid you good day for now as my bus will be arriving soon.

Always remember there is never enough bacon!

Dont worry im not dead,

Hey Everybody,

It has been some time since my last post well longer than it should have been if the WordPress app on my phone had of updated when it was supposed to. That post is now up was more relevant then but now not so much.

Well it has been some time but not alot has happened apart from I am now 23 which is good I like getting old as it really does help with my moaning :p

I have been trying to jump into some more development stuff but my time is taken up by sleeping and working which isn't bad just really need to get some skills honed and really start making something of myself. I. Am sure I will get around to it and must try and make time for this stuff.

I have a new xbox which is awesome gaming is back on track which is really making the time fun again especially when Deana is away.
A kindle has also found its way into my life which is defiantly a win as reading is freaking awesome!

I will leave that there for now as I have some reviews coming soon keep and eye out!
