You wish you were here…

At work we just went live with a project for Earth Hour, which began it’s life in Sydney as a 1 hour event where everyone turns their lights off – including big business. Well, this year, it’s going global. Spread the word! http://www.earthhour.org For those interested in the technology, we used RoR and Radiant.

OK, so I’ve been a little slack of late (try the last 6 months!!) posting anything not related to my personal life… and indeed it’s something i’ll try and remedy, but in the mean time, here’s a link to some photos of my big day (can you believe it’s nearly 6 weeks ago?!). This is [...]

More pictures coming shortly!

Just a short note (while I give my brain a break from the AS3 learning), to mention that the Redant site (where I work) has been updated. For those interested, we moved to Radiant, a neat Ruby CMS. It was a relatively painless process – although Ben and Toby may have more of an opinion [...]

Announcing the (playstation-style underwhelming) launch of labs.shiftperception.com (NOTE: there is currently no way of accessing the content in this directory, but there will be soon). I wanted a place for unfinished experiments to live on my server, and all / the / cool / guys / seem / to / have / one, so I [...]

So, I’m a little slow in upgrading my WordPress build – primarily because I still use a great little plugin called Exhibit, which was created by Owen Winkler what seems like a thousand years ago. Now there may be many better options out there that I haven’t explored, but I like Exhibit because it’s a [...]

Well, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all! Hope everyone has had as much fun as I have over the last few weeks Things are getting back to normal here now, and before all the Mexican adventures become posts you have to search for, I decided to take a few hours and remake the [...]

Yup, a very clever move. The Flash player will no longer be a proprietry closed source plugin, shunned by the developers of the world. Hopefully the donation of the Flash player to Mozilla will herald a new age of interative development, and better and more standards compliant integration of Flash content with HTML, AJAX and [...]

Well, if this isn’t the coolest (im sure i’ve said that before!!) app to come out of google… Gmail on your mobile! Image © Google.com And I don’t just mean surfing the Gmail website on your mini mobile browser… I mean full blown Java app designed SPECIFICALLY for your thumb Seriously, it is fantastic, and [...]

I hate the flu.

It’s arrived. Get it here.

Red Ant said goodbye to Sarah today. And after 8 years at the Ant, she will be sorely missed. To celebrate/commiserate, we took her to Art House and got drunk. Hilarity ensued… here are some of the finest pics from the night. (by the way, for those who don’t know her, she’s the little one… [...]

So, the plastic has been taken off and the foam all broken apart to resemble a winter wonderland, and it’s back to business as shiftperception celebrates it’s first day on a new and entirely local server. IF all has gone according to plan, the only difference you’ll see is this post – otherwise im typing [...]

Ill be brief. OJ at BlackApache has updated his site, and will be bombarding us all with the sounds of one hand typing in the woods. Here’s a picci of his ugly mug just cause I can (and of course the lovely Amy) :

Yes, it’s been a long LONG time, and I kept promising myself I’d be more active and motivated, but life has always gotten in the way. Well, now I have no excuses, and I plan to drop a line into the void much more often than I have in the past 2 years (which is [...]
