New Photos: Birmingham Office & more

Birmingham Office, uploaded on 15th April, 2010 by Rob Parker

Last week I went to Birmingham for the day and I took a few photos which are now up on my Flickr. Go have a look and I hope you like them as much as I do!

Vintage Quality

Having a poke around on an old hosting account I had and looking at the designs, they were pretty good! They were simple, effective and colourful, and much as I love it, this design isn’t really is it! I love the contrast on the ‘second’ headers and the boxes on the home, still, I’m sticking with simple and dark for the moment!

Have a look at this, this and this if you want to know what I’m talking about!

Happy Easter!

Just The Odd Few Tweaks

Just made a few little tweaks this site needed after the more major (if quickly done) design change a while back. There’s new date, category and tag displays for each post as well as new icons for all of those and for the comment section on posts. Its only little but its a nice touch!

A couple of other tweaks too, including a ‘Donate’ and slight footer simplification as well as an improvement to ‘Image Attachment’ pages which frankly never made sense before.

Enjoy! I’m pretty pleased :)

Mr Brightside (Killers) – Jazz Cover by Paul Anka

…as heard on the Chris Moyles Show!

Heard this on the radio today and I really liked it. Frankly, I didn’t get the song at first, but, well, you know from the title what it is now! Anyway, have a listen if you fancy, I got this track from Sterogum but you can get the track or album from Amazon.

Definition of Intelligence

“The extent to which one can accumulate, apply and manipulate knowledge”

This is also designed to encompass the idea of emotional intelligence, of understanding other people, their emotions and feelings.
