SPP3 Portfolio
My SPP3 Digital Portfolio – www.tom-edson.co.uk/portfolio/ I’ve spent some time over the last few weeks redesigning my portfolio as a separate identity from my website to coincide with my SPP3 submission. I am please with the way it has turned out. I have kept some initial trade mark features from my original website, the orange highlights, use of dividing lines etc, however it has a much...

Slow WiFi/YouTube on iPhone/iPad Easy Fix
So, I’ve had iPhone’s for about three years now, and every time I’ve been on my home WiFi network, I’ve NEVER been able to view YouTube videos on it. It just takes too long to load. I assumed that it was because my home WiFi isn’t fantastic, on WiFi it streams higher quality vids by default, and because it’s possible that the network adapter inside my iPhone wasn’t as good as those on my...
Client Project Update
I have been so fantastically busy I don’t know where to start. But here it goes; an update to my client project. My client project is a portfolio/blog website for fashion designer Izabela Targosz, based in Paris. In my project proposal, I had decided to suggest producing a website with. ‘split’ feel. One side focused on information, and other on visual elements, including...

Super Delayed Blog Update
Sorry. Is the only word I can really use to apologise for the monumental lack of blog posts in the last two months, I’ve been just about the busiest I’ve ever been, so I figured I should give an update about everything I’ve been doing. Also a good opportunity to test out the typing ability of my nee toy. I’m an iPad hussy now. So let’s start with University.Client...

Free Web Development Work
This post is just as much an advertisement as it is an observation. I need to find, in the next 2-3 weeks, someone who needs a relatively complex web based solution, that they are willing to let me implement for them, for free. Which is about the best offer you can really get. I’m not really sure who I should try and target in terms of a client, I’m not sure if I want to go down the...
1and1 - The Global Web Host Power, redesigned.
(Note: I am not promoting 1and1, but i do use their services.)If you’ve ever even thought about getting a web host/server, then you’ve heard of 1and1, it’s as simple as that. There top-dog (by that I mean bloke, not a spaniel) is on of the wealthiest web-businessmen, period. And as the title might suggest, they have redesigned their site! Now, at first glance your probably just...

Setting Up The NEW NTU E-Mail On Your iPhone
Hey everyone, This post is a response to two things. 1st, NTU have changed all their e-mail protocols over the summer (2010) and have in effect given everyone an entirely new e-mail address, server and webspace. Now this is important because not only have the settings changed which enabled us to receive our NTU e-mail via our SmartPhones, but it also means you need to tell people NOT to...

Web 3.0 - HTML5, CSS3 and jQuery
Ok, so as some of my more tech-based Twitter followers will know, I’ve been working on a bit of ‘new-web’ technologies project, just for my own personal development and to see what these things are capable of, this project I have dubbed ‘Web 3.0’. At the time of the posting, it is only in V1.0, so just a modern layout with a few fancy items in the determined technologies, however I soon...
Web3.0 - HTML5, CSS3 and jQuery
I’ve not had a great deal of client work to do over the last few weeks. So I’ve decided to publish a website made purely in the ‘new-wave’ of technologies, namely HTML5, CSS3 and jQuery. Version 1.0 of my site is nearly ready to launch, but I can’t help think it looks a bit too simple. So this is a plea to anyone that’s seen some really nice tutorials and effects with these technologies...
Blogging from space...
…well, as close to space as most of us ever get, that’s right, I’m on a plane once again! I really do find that writing my ‘mobile’ blogs when transporting really helps to take away the dreariness of orange air-hostess (or air-hosts) and assists with blocking out the very posh woman 4 rows down. Although truth be told, the new Stone Sour album - Audio Secrecy does a...

Holiday Timez
I’m sat writing this on a BMI Baby flight from Manchester to Bordeaux, my dearest is sat next to me with her face in one of the ‘Bourne’ books, and the ‘male’ air steward thinks he’s particularly amusing, oh how wrong he his, but other than that it is so far a pretty good flight. We arrived at Manchester Airport pretty early as our lift wanted to go and do...
Cock A' Doodle-Do!
I’ve just witnessed, what I can only describe as a ‘fleet’ of hens and cockerels in someones front yard. Now, in the country I’m sure it’s a fairly common occurrence, but in a over-populated Nottingham suburb, I think it’s rather odd. I am now having a hair cut.
Buzz Lightyear in Quahog...
Just been walking around Ye Olde Supermarket and seen this rather abstract interpretation of Buzz Lightyear. Anyone else think he looks, like a merger between Joe and Quagmire from Family Guy?
Apple Keynote Predicions
The latest Apple Keynote kicks off in about 30 minutes, so I’m registering my predictions now while I can to see if I’m good at guestimating. From what’s happened in the last year, I think it will look like this: No new iMac. It’s been too recent. An upgrade for MacBook (as the last big update was a year ago) although I think it’ll look pretty much the same. New...

Rock 'n Fookin' Roll
I’ve had a bit of a mental weekend. Had a cracking night out on Saturday with the guys (minus Kieran but plus Rachel) which proceeded us partying for a good 10 hours. A bleak a furry-tongued Sunday morning later, I receive a message along the lines of: “Hey man. Tubs has just pulled out of an important gig we’re playing tonight.. How would you feel about maybe stepping in..?...
Illness and Francochamps
I’ve not posted much of anything this week because I fell victim to that most deadly of diagnosis, manflu. And yes, it does exist. Because I’ve been ill, all I’ve done that is worth mentioning is that I have spent a lot of time re-watching DVDs (or duvudees, if your being phonetic). I’ve re-watched Wanted, Taken, Harry Potter and the..(whatever the latest on DVD is), and...
Salty Locker of Hurt
[Started writing this; Thursday 19th August] The Hurt Locker - Review Admittedly, I first bought ‘The Hurt Locker’ when it won its BAFTA, as such ignoring its initial release. Which was a big mistake. When I bought the film, I was expecting, just another war film, and seriously didn’t think it could compete with my long standing favourite ‘Enemy at the...
Playing Tennis with Jeffery Zeldman ( @zeldman )
Hello ladies and germs, today I managed to do NO painting, which has made me very happy - just getting on with mundane office tasks never seemed so, easy? I’m currently just waiting around as I’m about to go and play tennis, but don’t need to leave just yet. Will I be on form today? I use a racket that is a ‘relative’ of the one Federer used last year, and if his...
The Naked Cheff's Fishy Fumbles
Well, I’m not sure if typing this on my laptop is cheating or not, but laptops are mobile - so I’m going with it’s allowed.Any-hoo, it relation to previous posts, the painting is going well, but it is very much still going, and we have discovered that we will need FOUR coats of paint on everything, which, means it will really take FOREVER to complete. But I’ll cry about...
Paintathon
I haven’t posted in a few days as I’ve been too busy and top tired to remember to do it. Started painting the company’s new office on Wednesday. And it still feels like we have loads to do (that’s because we have). I say ‘we’ so far I’m the only one to have done anything, hopefully that will change today/tomorrow. I wonder if I’ll get a weekend break...
From IT to Manual Labour and Angry Birds
Firstly, apologies for the lack of paragraph formatting in the blog entries on this site, I have no idea why they seem to be somewhat random, but I can guarantee I put them where they should have been when I submit these entries. But anyway, it’s another late night blog entry, with not all that much to say, I’ve had another standard/boring day, although apparently tomorrow will hold...
My Top 10 iPhone/iPad Games
I’ve had an iPhone for about two years now, so I think that’s enough time to give me the right to tell people what, in my opinion, are the 10 Best Apps of any particular genre. (Yes that means I will be posting some more ‘Top 10’s’). So, games, in reverse order, least most cool » most most cool… 10. Bejewelled 2 – Great for competing with your friends on...
brrfssd.. — The Inceptionator
Inception, the latest moviefilm release from acclaimed director of the most recent Batman duology, Christopher Nolan, is a science fiction of truly epic proportions. Is this 2010’s answer to The Matrix and A Scanner Darkly? Quite possibly. The film follows Cobb, a skilled ‘extractor’ who, along with sidekick and friend Arthur, are in the business of entering peoples’ dreams in the...

In bed with Gavin & Stacey...and Naomi Campbell
No, I’m not blogging about some lude three/four-way activity. I am infact just in bed, watching Gavin & Stacey. And as I said in my introductory post to this blog, sometimes I just want to splurge my thoughts on to the bloggerverse. I have always enjoyed Gavin & Stacey, the right amount of comedy, right amount of drama, right amount of stereotypical Welshness to make an entertaining...

Mobile Enigma
So here’s the gaff. This blog is purely an extension of my ‘Social Enigma’ page, http://tom-edson.posterous.com - now I know some of you will be thinking - does he need three blogs? (or four or five if you include my AutoPosts to Tumblr, and my closed BlogSpot account) And the answer is no, of course not - but that’s not going to stop me. I currently have ‘Tom...

Encouraging the Twitterati - without Emma Watson
The term ‘Twitterati’ has been around for a while now, originally it was used as a pseudonym for people with a strong Twitter presence, with enough followers to hold advertising influence etc. Stephen Fry being king at this point. After a while it became lingo between those on Twitter as a name for each other, separating them from the technophobe, non Twitter use, or as I like to call them...

Check out this website I found at global.burton.com Burton Snowboards have a new website, and it is really really nice. big, simple and very effective. There isn’t ever so much to really say about it in terms of a review, but if you ever need to create a website with a BIG emphasis on powerful imagery, looking at this for inspiration is a really good idea. The only downside is that...

Notts County FC - Football in the Community
via nottscountyfitc.org.uk After an additional two months working on the Notts County FC Football in the Community website since the University hand-in, it has finally gone live! There have been a number of alterations since submitting, but nothing massively different. Thanks to the rest of the guys that worked on the base of the site in Uni, it certainly looks like a decent portfolio piece. ...

Posterising my Posterous...
via tom-edson.posterous.com Ok, in short, I’m Posterous-ing about my own Posterous, but there is a reason for it, as I’ve been making a few changes.
