From having worked a fair bit – mostly in moments between manic emailing, yearbook activity and big session stamp-licking – on making, amongst other things, PowerPoint look pretty (not an easy task, ladies and gentlemen), it’s nice to finally see the products up and available online.
For anyone who doesn’t know what I’m talking about, there’s [...]
Well, I’m finally doing a monster chore that I’ve been putting off and putting off – updating the main ‘brochureware’ website with all the latest text and images.

The great thing is that our lovely customers will now be able to sign up for a [...]
No photo’s of our workspace today. Nic’s got a day off, and the place looks a mite spartan without her flowing clothes and gekko tattoos.
On the other hand, I did just want to note the handiness of that far left screen covered in code. I asked Jake a good … oh … three minutes ago [...]
This is my desk. I have lots of monitors! They’re all connected to my laptop (far right) which is showing a picture of my baby Benjamin in the photo. The left screen is where I edit all the code that makes AllYearbooks work, the middle one usually has a web browser open, and the right [...]
