Since I keep bleating on about being so busy, it’s probably high time I show you some of the things I’ve been up to.

Most interesting, I think, is a site we launched today for RJD2, called AskRJD2. As the name gives away slightly, the site revolves around fans asking RJ questions around his new album (which is really good, by the way, although a bit of a departure from his previous work).

This is all accomplished in true “Web 2.0” (yuck) style as a YouTube mashup, pulling in videos using the API and then displaying them in a nifty YUI carousel widget. Quite a lot of fun to put together, really.

Also quite recent is the site for young funsters I Was A Cub Scout. It’s another simple little site put together using Textpattern for the CMS, PunBB for the forum and PhpList for the mailing list. Mmmm, can’t get enough of that quality Open Source software – not quite sure what we’d do without it.

We’ve also put together a similar setup – minus the Textpattern bit, which is coming soon – for Future of the Left – another work band I’m really excited about. So much more to come from them, I think.
