A rather short entry this time, but size isn’t important is it? (*Insert dick joke here*)! Anyway…back to the title – Like and Hate. Despite seeming like total opposites, when put into context of what they’re regarding, aren’t these just two equally useless critiques? Previously, I would of said yes, but thinking about it I… Continue Reading +
My Ramblings
This is a blog about design, front-end development, WordPress and other random musings by Liam Jay
WDC2011
Last Friday myself and developer Lyndon Cox (he’s too cool for Twitter apparently) attended the Web Developers Conference (WDC2011) in Bristol. Big thanks to our chief at Love Creative UK for very kindly providing us with the tickets! Hang-on, I hear you say, wasn’t the last blog post about a web conference….Liam do you actually… Continue Reading +
FOWA – London 2011

There is obvious advantages to doing this, as it makes it easy for readers to check out what… Continue Reading +

Now I’m going to take an educated guess and assume that out of those graduates, over 90% of them… Continue Reading +
Insites Tour – Bristol
On Thursday (21st July) I attended the final leg of the Insites tour in Bristol. Insites was a mini tour of four cities in the UK where Keir Whitaker and Elliot Jay Stocks asked questions to established people within the web/design industry. For the Bristol leg of the tour we were lucky enough to have… Continue Reading +
Invasion of the (Facebook) killer circles (Google+)!
When Google launched its “+ project” a little while ago, my initial thoughts were: is this going to fail the way Wave and Buzz did, and even if it doesn’t, do we really need yet another social network? However I have to admit that to my great delight, Google+ has obviously benefited from the subtle… Continue Reading +
