The next four weeks are expected to be very hectic as I leave ‘Ull behind and move on to Sheffield and a new job. But that’s a totally different post, for a very different time. 2011 - picture this - ramblings 2011-09-14T20:48:08+00:00 http://www.acidsmile.co.uk/blog/entry/my_biggest_skill_adapting_to_the_environment http://www.acidsmile.co.uk/blog/entry/my_biggest_skill_adapting_to_the_environment#When:11:54:11Z In the mid ’80s my parents decided that it would be a good time for them to move back to Greece, as they could see that both me an my brother were losing our greek identity fast. Our best friends were called Tracey and Bradley respectively, instead of Christina and Nikos and I guess that scared them a bit. 2011 - ramblings - life 2011-04-09T11:54:11+00:00 http://www.acidsmile.co.uk/blog/entry/nottingham_home_of_legends_robin_hood_naconf http://www.acidsmile.co.uk/blog/entry/nottingham_home_of_legends_robin_hood_naconf#When:12:06:24Z Over the last few months every time work or life got me a little bit down I would visit the New Adventures in Web Design website and instantly my spirits would pick up. When I booked my early bird ticket in August it seemed like the time for the conference would never come. I’m sure I annoyed a heck of a lot of people that follow me on twitter the last few days with my excited count down to the conference. 2011 - #naconf 2011-01-22T12:06:24+00:00 http://www.acidsmile.co.uk/blog/entry/new_season_new_design http://www.acidsmile.co.uk/blog/entry/new_season_new_design#When:10:12:24Z With winter starting tonight when the clocks go back I decided it was time to get the newest incarnation of this site live! I have been working on this for the last few months and the time has come to share. Partly inspired by the release of ExpressionEngine 2, partly as a place for me to experiment with new stuff like HTML5, CSS3, the whole site was reworked from the ground up. 2010 - site changelog - redesign 2010-10-30T10:12:24+00:00 http://www.acidsmile.co.uk/work/entry/upholstery_designs http://www.acidsmile.co.uk/work/entry/upholstery_designs#When:19:35:21Z new portfolio entry 2010-10-20T19:35:21+00:00 http://www.acidsmile.co.uk/blog/entry/project_brief_a.k.a_what_a_load_of_crock http://www.acidsmile.co.uk/blog/entry/project_brief_a.k.a_what_a_load_of_crock#When:00:23:07Z I’m taking longer and longer between posts these days, partly cos I’m working on a new version of this site, but there are times I just have to post! This morning an RFP fell into my hands, from a client wanting a website redesign. A 12 page document with feature requests and wireframes. The document was produced for them by a “consultant” so I did expect a little bit of bullshit talk but I was not prepared for the actual horror I had to deal with. 2010 - clients - bullshit 2010-09-30T00:23:07+00:00 http://www.acidsmile.co.uk/work/entry/aak_international_collection_v2 http://www.acidsmile.co.uk/work/entry/aak_international_collection_v2#When:01:51:59Z new portfolio entry 2010-09-11T01:51:59+00:00 http://www.acidsmile.co.uk/blog/entry/another_holiday_gone_another_year_starts http://www.acidsmile.co.uk/blog/entry/another_holiday_gone_another_year_starts#When:03:41:16Z It’s a couple of days since my return to the UK after spending 2.5 weeks in Greece with my family and friends. Today I managed to sort out through the few hundreds of photographs I shot on my phone while I was there and as a result I am feeling very homesick. This feeling only exacerbates the weird mood I’ve been since I’ve come back. While every other return to the UK has been marked by homesickness, this time even my own home doesn’t feel like home. I feel like a stranger in my own flat. My bed feels strange, the smells in the house feel odd. Either a very bad case of S.A.D. or maybe a sign that my time in the UK is coming to an end. Time will tell. In the meantime here are a few photos of the places I hang out while home as well as a couple I shot on the train on my return for contrast. Enjoy! 2010 - Greece - HTC Desire - picture this 2010-08-22T03:41:16+00:00 http://www.acidsmile.co.uk/work/entry/yhata http://www.acidsmile.co.uk/work/entry/yhata#When:00:47:16Z new portfolio entry 2010-06-19T00:47:16+00:00 http://www.acidsmile.co.uk/blog/entry/its_been_pretty_darn_long http://www.acidsmile.co.uk/blog/entry/its_been_pretty_darn_long#When:01:21:33Z It’s been a while since the last time I managed to find the time and more importantly of all the mood to write in this blog. Pretty darn long really. Life has been full of surprises, some good, others rather awful. However it’s a Sunday afternoon, I’m listening to my favorite essential mix (Blame Feb/10) LOUD, I’m having the 5th frappe of the day and feel like I’m melting, due to the unexpected heatwave that has hit Britain. I cannot focus on work at this precise moment in time and I thought I’d seize the moment and share some loose thoughts with you all. I love, love, love a summery England! Nearly as much as Greece. 2010 - loose thoughts 2010-05-24T01:21:33+00:00
