Creative Assembly May 08 May 8

Another great turn out last night for our 2nd Creative Assembly meeting. Thanks again to everyone who made it and for those that didn’t, not to worry because you can come and join us on Tuesday the 3rd of June! :)

It's not you, it's me... Apr 21

I’m just not in love with ‘regular’ blogging like I was before. The spark has gone and it’s not coming back. Add to that the fact that I simply don’t have the time or the inclination to blog like I used to… it’s not you, it’s me.

So it’s time to think about how to adapt this site to better reflect the time I can commit to it on an ongoing basis, perhaps integrating feeds from other areas of the web where I am more active; Facebook, Flickr, Delicious and Last.fm. Nowadays Twitter seems more and more appealing, providing a outlet for short and sweet comment on life.

For a long time I’ve been hoping to migrate this site from Textpattern to Expression Engine so this seems like the ideal opportunity to do so. I’ve had an initial tinker and it looks like I should be able to migrate all the content fairly easily. From there I’m going to have a play with the fantastically clever Expression Engine ‘FeedGrab’ plug-in by Andrew Weaver which should allow me to pull together the various strands of data associated with me from across the internet and present them in one location.

So if things get a little funky here, you know why. :)

Creative Assembly April 08 Apr 3

Well we had our inaugural Creative Assembly meeting last night in the Atrium Bar at the South Hill Park Arts Centre. I was expecting a turnout of 6 or 7 people but I was blown away when 18 people turned up.

Thanks to everyone who made the effort to come along! :)
