The 1970s Project is a three year study to establish whether the 1970s was a tasteless and undistinguished interregnum between the vibrant 1960s and the entrepreneurial 1980s, or whether it made substantial innovations in the area of film.

I am busy as a bee! I have a number of projects on the go at the mo, including two sites. The first is for ‘Renegade Arts Entertainment’ which is a cool production company for Doomshield comics and audio Spine Chillers read by Doug Bradley (AKA Pinhead from Hellraiser! “I will tear your soul apart!!!!”). Anyway it won’t be long before this is Live.

The second is for an environmental business solutions company called ‘Y2be’. I expect to employ some nifty AJAX into this site.

Both are exciting and very different projects. Things are being churned out faster and faster nowadays so I expect both will be live within the next 2 weeks!

Before I get a Job is an online show that follows the adventures of Bruno Dragoon live out his wildest dreams before he has to knuckle down to a life of servitude in a 9-5.
I’ve encoded the episodes in flash and divX (divX is a great alternative option, but flash still heads the game, especially with the new easy fullscreen feature and addition of H.264 in flash9 - groovy).

Threadwars is for independent clothing brands to access an international customer base. It offers customers a chance to browse, shop and buy quality clothing from a variety of brands all under one roof.

I designed a static site then had to implement the style to an ecommerce package. Unfortunately the developer on the project (unknown to me) kept overwriting my stylesheet! On future projects (and indeed I have done now) I will set up an SVN repository system using Aptana - Ah what a program! This is a version control system that enables each developer to commit any updates they’ve made so any other person working on it can automatically update their version to their local drive.
