This is a even simpler version of I want Sandy that Mary posted about a few weeks ago, HitMeLater.com means you can send that email you know you’ve got to respond to, but haven’t got time to right now, away again to come back on your chosen day / time. It’s free and you don’t need to register.
Side project : Flaming Desks
August 8, 2008 – 1:00 pm
In our spare time [ha!] we’ve teamed up with a pretty cool advertising agency on a not-for-profit (yet) side project that lets you share your spare desk with interesting individuals who might need it.
The way we’re developing this compact web application is slightly different to how most web apps are born (i.e. absolute secrecy) : we’re planning and discussing everything about the project on a public blog, welcoming comments and input from anyone who’s interested.
Right now we’re telling the World about it and gathering views, advice, and expressions of interest. So if you’re interested, have a read and get involved.
Mozilla and Adaptive Path imagine the future of browsing
August 7, 2008 – 3:22 pm
Adaptive Path, who do great work in experience strategy and design, are working with Mozilla on a project called Aurora. It’s a concept for a future browser which itself is part of a wider collaborative project which Mozilla is running called the Concept Series.
Aurora (Part 1) from Adaptive Path on Vimeo.
See the rest of the series here.
The Concept Series is encouraging everyone to get involved with producing ideas, prototypes and mockups for future directions in browsing and the web. Definitely one to keep an eye on and get involved with.
Trophies site launched
August 6, 2008 – 8:29 am
Hot on the heals of the launch of the Premier Sports Group website comes the launch of of its sister site, PSG Trophies.
The site we built for them showcases the large range of sports trophies the company offers and allows customers to order online.
I’m hoping Dave will buy us all best web developer trophies.
New Delicious
August 1, 2008 – 8:36 am
The web based bookmarking service Delicious launched its new interface and architecture last night and at first glance it is a huge improvement. It seems to have gone well and not died under the load, unlike when last.fm launched its new design.
From a White October point of view this launch is of interest as the new Delicious is built using the Symfony framework, which we are using more and more in our bespoke web applications.
Our bookmarks can be found here:
Simple web design can delight
July 17, 2008 – 8:53 am
I’m on the move soon. I was checking out the site for Britannia removals.
Their regional branch map location page thing features photos of Britannia packing boxes nestling somewhere in each region. It’s not cutting edge design, it’s very much web 1.0 but it made an otherwise pedestrian set of pages that bit more entertaining. I found myself clicking round the regions to look at the other pictures (shame they’d missed some out).
I particularly liked the North East region page where they’d made it look like the Angel of the North was stood on a Britannia box.
I want Sandy…
July 10, 2008 – 2:27 pm
Sandwiched between my ever increasing list of bookmarks you’ll find a link to my new secretary, her name is Sandy. When I first heard about her, I wanted her, which makes the URL iwantsandy.com quite appropriate
Basically once you’ve registered for free, you can email Sandy with a message along the lines of ‘remind me to send Max a birthday card on 12th March, she’ll read it and send you a reminder email at the appropriate time the good thing is she can remind your friends too.
