Recently I have been running purely on coffee, It has been a really hectic month working on our new site over at DiCE Creative, which im exited to announce has finally gone live today over at http://www.dicecreative.com. Please check it out and any feedback you have is welcome!

 

After working on GameAddix with Tom and developing a great working relationship we decided to found our own creative company, I will no doubt be posting a lot more information here now as time goes on. We already have our first clients and we look forward to making sure they are as exited about DiCE Creative and our finnished products as we are.

 

As part of our ramp up to launch we worked closely with a talented photographer we know called Tom Barker (http://www.tombarkerphotography.co.uk/) who shot some footage for us as well as take some still images, I have included one below, I love that coffee!

GameAddix.com 07/07/2010

So I havent really talked about this on my site yet, but I have been very busy on a project with a good friend of myne Tom Crompton working on a website called GameAddiix which is a gaming news,reviews and commentary site. We are still in the early stages at the moment but we launched the site a few weeks ago after alot of hard work over the last year planning and organising and I thought it was about time I posted something about it here.

GameAddix.com

Im very happy with how the site has come out, we are in constant development meeting every week to discuss new features etc. We are currently looking for contributors so If you are interested please get in touch with us via the Contact section of the website.

I have learned a lot about working on projects with multiple people througout this process, and reinvigarated my love for web design so im working hard on continued development of the site and looking forward to possible new projects myself and with Tom.

Plex 05/05/2010

So I have been using plex for a long time now and im a massive fan of it, I used to run a macbook under my telelvision and run Plex off that but recently I updated to a MacMini under the tv and now that runs my main desktop and the television due to its Dual Display output, so anyway here is a quick video I made off my iPhone showing a bit of Plex in Action.

Im using the Aeon skin, you can find a link to the information on the plex forum or drop me an email or a tweet and ill send you over the details.

Xbox MW2 LAN 17/04/2010

So recently I bought a new TV, which im absolutely in love with, its an LG 42LH5000 has all the bells and whistles, 200hz, 1080p and 4xHDMI. I replaced my old LG 37 inch, yet im still holding on to it for a while, thankfully it makes inviting people round with their xbox pretty simple!

My friend Martin has been round the last few weekends playing on my smaller 24" Monitor, but now this setup shows it up. The 37" will probably spend most of its time in my bedroom but im sure ill be moving it into the front room and moving the sofa/coffee table around to make this setup again!

Im thinking of maybe arraning something like this with four people, good times.

Site changes 15/04/2010

So I decided it was time to make some changes to my current website, the site didnt really get updated very often as you can see by the below blog posts and so I decided it was time to do something about it.

I am going to be blogging more often and the portfolio section of the site isnt really the main focus of my homepage now. My domain is going to be a place where I talke about myself and things I am working on, with the Portfolio section simply here to give people an Idea of what my work is like, should they be interested in working with me.

I feel this will be a more productive way of me having a presence on the web, rather than a homepage which is never really updated very often. I hope to continue adding new content and keeping you all up to date on my whereabouts and projects.
