Alongside work that was produced for various clients over the years I have included work that was done simply for the nice feeling that comes when you produce good work.

- Laurel Group Website

My first project collaborating with the award winning graphic designer Alex Tyres.
Alex did the design and I coded it up in an afternoon. It’s was really refreshing to build a simple site like this. No server side complications just some hand coded html and css.

- Emperors Mind store

I built a store for Emperors Mind, a premium Mac reseller in Melbourne. What makes this store different to most online stores is that most of Emperors Minds clients are on a special discount program with Apple, or Adobe. Therefor the prices of Apple or Adobe products needs to be adjusted to reflect their discount model.
Update: Be in quick as they’re closing on the 26th of June 2009.Closed now: Bye bye Emperors Mind.

- Really old mr dougal website

Disclaimer. This is really old in internet terms.
This was the mr dougal website from 2002. I’d never make anything like this nowadays, although I thought i’d post this up for old times. It’s all flash (shudder) and it (originally) launched in a popup window (shudder again).
In many ways this is where my programming career started, as many hours where spent writing ActionScript drive the animations and transitions throughout the site.
Can view it, in all it’s
sixseven year old glory here.I found the source for the site whilst clearing out some old zip drives at home, yes zip drives.

- Wine tasting website

A new project for my client Liquid Assets. This site is a departure from their storage website, and instead focusing on wine tasting. (Which is a passion of the director at Liquid Assets).

- Tip: Quick and Dirty start to generating fixtures for testing
A quick and dirty way to get you started on getting some of the information out of your database and into a fixtures file. (For testing your Rails applications)
script/runner "puts User.all.to_yaml" >> spec/fixtures/users.yml
Now there is still a lot that you’ll need to edit out of the file. Such as the “serialised ruby object” declaration at the start of the file, and empty attributes. This isn’t intended to automatically create your fixtures, it’s just a quick tip on an easier way to start.
