Freelance...

Not liking this freelance lark so far. I finished at berthas workers last week but don’t have any definite work to be getting on with yet. I have two jobs that are nearing the good to go point. But im not enjoying this waiting bit. I should be doing tutorials and learning new stuff really. But it’s always in the back of my head that no money is coming in. So didn’t do much at the weekend. Trying to keep as much money in the bank as possible! That and my dads been ill in hospital again. Rubbish! Not the best of weeks. : (

Lynda.com

So for the rest of this afternoon I think I will brush up on my skill set! I want to learn more about css and div tags. I can still produce work like this, but I know the way that Im creating stuff is fairly old school. I still use tables to position graphics and site frames, when I know I should really be using div tags. I get how css and div tags work but what it boils down to is the positioning of graphics, specifically alignment to the left and right. Once I grasp that I should be rocking! The best place for me to look in times like this is www.lynda.com I’ve learnt a lot from the tutorials on Lynda and I’m hoping she can teach me a thing or two about css!

Blood Brothers

Went to see Blood Brothers at the theatre in York last night. Was really good. Great story. Never really been into musicals much. And I’m still not! I think I could of watched it with out the singing bits and people stood with their legs about lifting their arms slowly up to spotlights.
That’s not to paint a bad picture of Blood Brothers though. It is a really good show and a great story.

Night Out in Manchester

A rather late decision was made to go see some friends in Manchester, Fallowield on Saturday. But a great decision is was! Awesome time. Met some great people and went to a great bar/club called baa bar (nice site bit republic looking). Music was ok but they had a wall of led lights, which won, me over. When I get a house I want a wall of light! We were drawn to it like moths. Finished the night/morning off with Short Circuit 2 and Big on DVD.. Best films ever!

Sexy people blog - I'm Ron Burgundy??

This is easily the best gallery I have ever seen on the web. It’s the best collection of photos I have ever seen. It actually makes me feel rather old as well, as some of the photos are from early 90's... which isn’t that long ago for me. I’m quite tempted to root out some of my old 90's photos of me with a centre parting. 

But check this guy out a young Ron Burgundy?

Defo worth a look!

First and Foremost

My first proper post!

Not only that but it’s a day of change for me. This is my last day employed by www.berthasworkers.com in the beginning I originally started working for a company called www.rancon.co.uk which was owned by two directors. After less than a year the decision was made for the two directors to split. One of which I have been working for ever since, a Mr Steven Hadcroft. Back then I came to Rancon thinking I knew a bit about Flash development. But it turns I didn’t no that much. Over the last two years I have been lucky enough to learn boat loads about coding in as2 and 3 from Steven. I have no regrets about the last two years. I hope now that I’m able to find a similar company who are willing to show me new skills in web development. And me to them.  

I’m not too worried if I don’t get a new 9-5 straight away as I have some good freelance work to look forward. Not sure if freelance is for me right now though. I could really do with the security of a salary paid job. Who knows though, if i make a boat load from freelance i might stick at it!
