Work etc

18 April 2007

I thought today it would be good to do a quick work update, as this week we’ve launched to sites, and gained another web developer.

First up is the new Jack Penate website. I’m really quite happy with the way this one has turned out, as we’ve managed to do a few things I’ve been trying to do for ages. The headline feature is probably Twitter integration, so that Jack can SMS updates from the road which then appear in the little speech bubble on the site.

It really is quite amazing how much interaction we can get these days between artists and fans; so much more then would ever had been possible before.

Anyway, if you’re on Twitter check out Jack’s Twitter page and see what he’s up to.

We also have tried to go the extra mile in encouraging interaction with the fans through the site, though things like enabling commenting on tour dates and integrating with Flickr (yep, we’ve gone API mad!).

Next, we also launched a new site for Black Strobe. It’s a fairly typical Textpattern-based site, with all your normal info like news and tour dates. However, I’m pretty pleased we this one too as it only took 2 days total to make, from design to code to completion – not bad going if you ask me!

To round off the work kick, I’ve just updated my work page with all my recent projects; turns out I’ve been quite busy…
