Yea sure I leave the odd tip here and there, or I give some critique on something but nothing ever substantial.

I just so happened to be updating my firefox via the website when i stumbled upon Mozilla Firefox Service Week thingy ma jig and I thought, hell maybe I can do something to help.

Im working on [link] a charity that sends people to Kenya to teach the kids.

Now I have no particular interest in the Kenya education system, but I do care about the web and its community,, and more so - all the things it has helped me achieve over time.

more to come on this post soon.

The WayBackMachine documents the birth of [link] in April 2004. Then sponsored by Bentleys the site was table driven and image heavy. Infact it was not untill 2007 when I took over the sites operations that I set about migrating the site over to a CSS based design.

Now in 2009 the site had grown into multiple regions, with lots of duplicating data and other annoying issues such as the total lack of CMS.

So a site migration to Joomla! was brainstormed planned and implemented. Also the site has been split into three with the 'residential and commercial' websites coming into the fray. see - [link] & [link]

Next up for 2009/10 is the development of a user/winners backend application that will handle registrations, winners lists and more. So far we have a snippet of php that prints winners according to a set of supplied parameters but once this is in place it will become the next big task of integrating the winners lists into the users database.

Shout-outs:

Firstly to [link] for providing an immensely powerful CMS for free, without the Joomla! these websites wouldn't be possible. Thanks for all the support from its users in the forums.

Thanks for YooTheme (www.yootheme.com) for their most elegantly designed templates - the best on the web I would argue. They also provided many of the powerful mootool/joomla effects and UI improvements that you see working hard on our site. Great & quick forum support from the staff! good work girls and guys.

Gavick (www.gavick.com) Pro Tools for producing some nice freely available joomla! modules.

Community Builder (www.joomlapolis.com) for producing a heavyweight user management system. Again lots of really helpful people in the forums to help squash bugs and extend CBs functionality.

GTranslate ([link]) - a really easy to use Google powered translater for Joomla!

JoomlaPack - A great component for backing up joomla websites and restoring them with Kickstart another great php application.

VirtueMart - A powerful shopping cart platform for joomla!

Xamp - the site map tool for Joomla! websites

SHEF404 - monsterously good url rewriting plus loads loads more

JCE Editor - a great wysiwyg editor for Joomla!

EasySpace - for hosting our site

Hendus Strydom - for his valuable support especially with the php winners lists

Andrew Cockburn - for his support, humour and his ability to spot absolutely everything that i've done wrong,, cruel to be kind eh.

My mom - for feeding me and listening to me winge!

Chim and Chris for being around and buying me beer! cheers!

Me - for putting it all together in a neat package, otherwise known as a website! woop woop

we are soon to be opening an online store and market place in camden market, a hub for alternative fashion and music. since feburary i can report the hard drive with lots of important designs is still in limbo, my srl camera is still in the hands of a nonce and i am still jobless. The good news is the store is recieving great feedback even while in its developing stages [link] many may find trouble viewing the site in internet explorer, while firefox users will have a much more pleasureable experience. So to break my silence i've added a few layouts I've done over the weekend, just for fun really. And I've also been hard at work designing shirts for screen printing. I recieved loads of positive feedback on my atheism design and there are loads of shirts lurking with our new online store. we plan to open our doors in may and sell shirts initially in europe and then to the usa and then finally the rest of the world. As usual feedback is really appreciated and i try to comment back on everyone that gives me some constructive crictique.
thats all for now but do make sure you check out

Neways i hope to expand my portfolio into, my traditional art, modelling, web, video and away from vector graphics and into traditional dots and colours.

Feel free to make comments,, not all my work is going to be perfect but i do like to go back to pieces and re-vamp them with my new skills and re-thinking.

Thank You and yea,,, thats about it.
