May oh 7
Another month, another blog post. April's sped by and May is hustling towards June and it's time for more news and random links picked over the last few weeks. ON the work front, SettleOnCyprus.co.uk website has been launched. Currently in HTML, back end database is planned to be integrated in due course. Work for Surveylab continues and indeed increases, with Dan (and John) receiving more work, meaning more bits and bobs for me to get stuck into. Surveys and graphics are coded and produced with Dan (and Peter) casting their magic wands over the code and databases. All going very well on that front, watch this space.
With Surveylab and Fullscope work going well, college work has taken a back seat. However with our end of year show looming at the beginning of June things are happening quickly and deadlines fast approaching. Pics of the show are planned, again, watch this space.
Onto more random pickings. Returning to my weakness for mashups (music mashed up dunchuknow), visit the audio delights of 99x.com. Specifically, check their mashup page and amongst a number of track I recommend Marvin - VS - Radiohead - 'Sexual High' and 'Pop Music' - VS - Public Enemy's Bring The Noise.
On the multimedia front, checkout the nifty Oddcast. I especially like their VHosts product for in-website avatar commentary. A tad expensive but has many applications.
Another interesting site (well interesting for some) is Scribd, a free online library where anyone can upload documents to the site using their embedded PDF player to publish and view documents in your web browser. Worth checking.
Takes on geek culture made me laugh and filed under conspiracy theories, someone with too much time on their hands suggests that blowing up the Death Star was an inside job. 'The Death Star has cleared the planet' indeed. Keeping on the Star Wars theme, here an another exmaple of having too much time on your hands... replacing words in Star Wars. More humour from a lists site, this time about about failed show pilots... in yup, the US. Enjoy (I think).
Music recommend this month is the new Faithless album - All New Arrivals, with the very special Music matters and Spiders, Crocodile and Kryptonite. Music Matters was seen late on C4 from a secret Myspace concert and blew me away.
I'll leave you with a funky photopgrahy site I found by Vicki Couchman, whilst visiting the HMC Interactive website. Awesome photos that I spent ages looking at. Recommended.
