Playing around with particle world

This is the video for last Sunday and yes I’ll post today’s later on tonight!

I recently just finished playing Assassins Creed 2 which is freaking amazing.

Oh and I’ve been working again like a trooper with wordpress theme frameworks….

Again I’ve fired up WAMP  which by the way is a freaking awesome local server and I’ve been having a play around with wordpress theme frame works. Sindustries.co.uk is again feeling the moans and groans of having to deal with so many different types of content and media and the current theme just isn’t capable of handling…

I’m thinking of making a good theme that can handle image, video, “quotes”, text and any other type of media I can through at it and display it neat across the board the current theme just well flops and the fact it isn’t really “quick and easy for me to come up with a post some times all I want to do is post an image thats it and not have the headings or any links just the image but this is something I will solve on my tod.

One thing I am going to do is integrate wordpress posts into my portfolio so it will be extremely easily for me to add new projects :/ slideshow as a portfolio really ain’t that good looking.

Expect a new look and more site flexibility soon.

Back to PS3ness… I’ve managed to hook it up to the net you can add me to your friends list “Sindustries” is my tag on the PS3 network.

P.s. This is a quick post sorry for the grammar/spelling issues…

O.k. it has certainly been a while but again a lot has been going in my life mainly the most important thing… I’ve recently passed my job probation, AWESOME!!

AND AND I’m now living in Edinburgh yay!

I’ve also went and got myself a little flat in Leith awesome dude!  Moved in a couple of weeks ago and I’m still unpacking stuff, moving boxes around and getting rid of boxes ah well these things happen. This year really has been a freaking whirlwind for myself and the people close to me. Its been full of ups and “OMFG’s >.<” and to tell the truth I am looking forward to the end of 2009 and I’m already looking forward to being able to say “20-10″. Oh well a new year a change of life style and a new place of work sounds great.

I’ve also been working a few posts and now that I have free time I’m going to get them out asap. Due things going on in my personal life I haven’t really been posting as much as I should have but anyway expect more posts of quality content, yummy, oh! and expect some videos am working on a few little things that are really coming together and should be with you lot soon.

I would like to say though to everyone enjoy the Christmas period have yourself a merry little Christmas and a happy new year!

P.s. – I’m well aware its December

The “Scottish Web Designers, Graphic Designers, Developers & Agencies You Should Be Following on Twitter” list went down a absolute storm and I got my first taste of the twitter effect. As well as creating a list of designers and agencies I discovered a lot more Scottish designers and a lot more agencies that I didn’t know about.

Now recently I attended the future of web design tour in Glasgow. Then two days after the future of web design event I was on a plane and off to Las Vegas

The future of web design tour was pretty interesting I learned a lot and the networking was a good laugh but I think the event turned out to be more for developers than designers but overall it was good.

Then I was off to Las Vegas and I was staying in the Stratosphere hotel a little off the strip but it was amazing. I pretty much went and seen all the big hotels but my favourites were the MGM Grand and Caesars Palace in the MGM I even got to hold a lion cub!

Yeah its was pretty awesome expect some pictures from that and separate post, I done way to much to write about here.

Since then I’ve been back at work through in Edinburgh and that has also been great.

Oh I’ve also been working a lot with adobe after effects I have a video intro made and I’m just getting a video ready so stay tuned!

P.s. I added a “webcard” have a look at Sindustries webcard

Over all I thought the FOWD tour Glasgow was very good, a few troubles here an there but overall it was a good event and it as a pleasure meeting everyone and over the next few weeks I’m going to introduce all the things I’ve learned to sindustries.co.uk!

Its Pretty Long List, Should I Follow Everyone?

Yes, for the simple reason if your a college/university/freelancer coming into the scene or if your circumstances have changed then you need to link build as currently nobody knows who you are. You need to have a certain knowledge of the “field” Who are the big wigs and top dogs and following them on twitter is the best place to start, Interact with other Scottish web designers and developers as well as agencies and get your name out there and get yourself noticed!
