I’ve only attended a couple of Multipack meetings, but thanks to all the guys, I feel very much a part of the group, so I have no reservations throwing up a post promoting the free event they’re organising this summer.
The idea is simple, as many geeks as possible gather in Royal Leamington Spa on Saturday 9th August, bringing along family, friends & space monsters. The day event consists of chilling out in the English sun with the aim to have a laugh with fellow patrons. The evening event will consist of two guest speakers who will supply us with some tasty knowledge to take away. As I understand, the guest speakers are unconfirmed as of yet so I’ll not divulge the names I’ve heard floating around, in case I get lynched by The ‘Pack.
I’ll post an update once the speakers are confirmed, so check back soon. Or if you prefer, head over to the Geek in the park ‘08 site and sign up to the newsletter.
Hope to see you all in August!
As some of you keen eyed people may have noticed, this site has changed quite a bit in the last couple of months. It’s gone from a small one page site to a full blown development and for once, and this will come as a shock to some of you, I’m actually happy with this and don’t foresee any major alterations in the near future.
It’s been a rather laborious process of trial and error to get to this point. The last two iterations had elements of this design but never really settled right with me, what I wanted to achieve with the design and the site as a whole.
I’ll not go into the intricacies of how I arrived at this final design, although I will say that it’s been a very natural and easily adaptable process, from the initial sketch to the final site. I’ve taken my time, attacking parts of the site one at a time, which allowed me to really focus on some of the key parts of the site that I really wanted to shine. I’m very used to working on projects that require time to be spent on various areas of a site in a very short space of time, this more modular way of working had proved pretty successful, for me personally.
There are some parts that I wish to improve and adapt but for now, I think I will really try to let it run along on it’s own, allowing me to focus more on fleshing out some of the ideas I’ve had recently for blog posts, so expect to see more on here in the near future. Along with new blog posts, I hope to include a fresh piece of artwork to tie in with the story. This will hopefully get me thinking more about what I’m posting and take away the temptation to write small posts about what I had for my lunch.
As ever, I’d love to hear what you think of the site so please feel free to drop me a line.
Here I go…
Taking this on a bit of a tangent, be sure to check out the August issue of .net magazine as my site will be appearing in the Reader’s sites section of the mag. It’s not an interview, or a full on piece, but I’m still chuffed to bits that it’s being included. I must be doing somethign right!
