Nick's Blog: 2010
Projects
Okay so 2011 is getting closer and still many of the projects I wanted to do this year have yet to be finished, or started in some cases. A few I have just given up on and put the domain names up for sale on sedo. I thought it would be good to plan out what I plan to get done before 2011 and what I have done, a status update, on some of my projects.
Progress
So the last few months have been chaos, both work wise and with personal projects. Mid October I was heavily involved with Thatcham Festival of Arts and Leisure, I have been working hard with my two teams to organise the programmes for 2011 for Thatcham Historical Society and the Peter Allen Memorial Lectures. And there are other things, some exciting news that we will share later in the year.
Accessibility
Recently I visited the Apple store in Basingstoke and had a play with the iPad. Whilst there I heard various comments about the iPad and iPhone from staff and customers. The primary one was the lack of support for flash. I tend to ignore comments like this, then over the last few weeks I have heard or had comments made to me about the majority of photographers websites, portfolio websites (web designers / developers) using flash for a gallery and how few people use anything else.
Ultimate Community Site Guide
I was sent a PDF copy of “Ultimate Community Site Guide - 2nd Edition” by Dorien Herreman from drupalfun.com to review. This is the third Drupal book I have had the opportunity to review for an author/publisher. First impressions are good; the book looks good and has a nice and easy to follow tone to it.
New website and a voucher
A few bits of news for you. For those that know me you will know that I have been involved with Thatcham Historical Society since 1999 and am currently the Chair. You will also know I have been involved with Thatcham Vision for 3 years or so and with Thatcham Festival for 4 or 5 years. Well the latter I have strictly only been involved with from being asked to put a display on.
