Northern Spirit Singers

Today I finished a web site favour for a friend of my friend Smidge. The web site is for a choir back up North who unfortunately lost the member that handled their web site. I created a wordpress managed site, using a theme which I heavily modified, new images, slight reorganisation and a lot of photoshop work. The site lives at www.northernspiritsingers.co.uk

I never saw the previous site so I am yet to find out if it is an improvement, I hope it is.

I took on the project after Smidge mentioned it in an email spurred on by what my friend Gareth created for the Ex-National Youth Choir of Great Britain web site. Thanks for the inspiration Gareth! Now after a few updates and some training on the use of the WordPress admin section, the choir can update and use the site to its full potential.

Fear of heights? Don’t go here then!

Grand Canyon West Skywalk

Blimey.

That is one high glass bridge. Having been to the Garnd Canyon I know how impressive it is near the edge, but actually standing over the edge is probably a completely different matter altogether. As I’m not a massive fan of heights, this will definitely be a thrill if I ever make it back to Arizona. The skywalk just out from the top of the canyon at approximately 4,000 feet, much much higher than even the tallest skyscraper so it really is an impressive piece of engineering.

There’s more information on the wiki page

Cut Chemist - The Audience’s Listening

So last Thursday I went all Hip Hop on your ass and went to see Cut Chemist of Jurassic 5 fame at the Islington Academy with Ruf, Anun, Hufty, Ruf’s brother Rob (I think…) and his partner Dave.

I was pleasantly surprised and will definitely carry on listening to and buying more Hip Hop, just got to remember to steer clear of all the terrible Gansta Rap and all that rubbish.

Also adding to the quality night was spending time with Hufty and Ruf and managing to get a hangover the next morning.

Something interesting Hufty and I talked about on the way home, apart from much rubbish, was how good a photograph of hundreds of people queuing single file to get on a London bus or Tube train would be. With all the impatient pushy people, I thought it would be a fantastic image to behold. Now just to work out the logistics of creating it… erm… ahem…

Finally finished!

Well here it is, finally. After a long design and development struggle, I have finally finished the bulk of my new web site. Hopefully it is going to be much easier for me to use compared to the old on, and I can get it used a lot more. Most of it is just my own blog and useful posts, useful web design resources and techniques, but I’ll add some tutorials and music that others may be interested in.

It will continue to improve as and when I get the time, but now I’ve got a friend’s site to finish and some more AJAX work for me to enjoy.
