It's a Busy time of year

As I said in the title, it's currently a busy time for me at this time of year.

Firstly the clients website:
I finally got around to finishing a client's website. The design was finished ages ago but I had to insert all the data in. With exams, thunderstorms and work, I really didn't have time but thankfully I finished it last night.

And now work
Well, I had a nine hour day at work yesterday. Standing up for a long time is not fun and I sure was tried last night.

At least I only have a 5 hour shift today and tomorrow and a 7 hour shift on Friday (even though it could well be busy as it is Christmas Eve).

Wallop and the skin progress

What is Wallop you ask.

Well, it's a new online community thing that Microsoft has.

Microsoft describes it as

Welcome to , where you can share photos, blog, and interact with your friends.

Wallop is a research project of the Social Computing Group at Microsoft Research, exploring how people share media and build conversations in the context of social networks


It's an interesting thing and I plan to try and use it as much as possbile.

Hey, you can even read my blog on it. Ah, the advantages of RSS feeds

If you want to "wallop", you have to get an invitation like I did.

Skin progress
The skin has changed a small bit and is matching my colour scheme (aquaish blue) but it us still not completed.

The first post

Finally I have created a blog. Of course I plan to have my very own one (most likely run by Blogger) on my own site once I get one up next year.

That's enough blogging for now.

BTW. The blog style is being worked on.
