Over the past few months, we have done a number of projects using the php Smarty package. Smarty is a fantastic templating engine which is quite easy to use and is extremely powerful. It also enforces the distinction between presentation logic and application logic and provides a great deal of flexibility when developing.
On our most […]

Enough discussion and do something! It seems that we can all get involved in protracted discussions and meetings about an idea but never get going with actually working on it. Anyone else have this problem?

This is a slight continuation on Gareth’s earlier post on monetisation.
I happened to be reading a post by Demian at PHP Kitchen about a recent interview with Paul Graham.

We have been working on updating a cool dating website (well at least I think that it is cool ), to make it meet some of the new web 2.0 standards. The project involves revamping the original site, so we have inherited the previous code from the initial developer. I have been trying to […]

Guy Kawasaki talks about MAT - Milestones, Assumptions and Tasks in his book, “The Art of the Start“. I’ve personally found it a great way to keep focus on what you’re doing day to day, instead of getting lost in the bigger picture.

We’ve just deployed our second blog for a paying customer (as in, not personal, friend, barter, family, sports club, church or freebie), based here in London.
I’ve personally done more blog implementations than I can remember, but somehow this one is sweetest so far - all the knowledge I’ve accumulated over the years made […]

This is simply brilliant. I love to see people breaking the mould in what can be a very cold and unloving world. A bit of unconditional love goes a long way and warms the heart.
Give someone a hug today!
