Mirashade are a rapidly expanding, highly creative ‘media solutions’ company based in Reading, Berkshire (UK). We work in 2D, 3D, web, print, CD-ROM, DVD and Broadcast, so you’re sure to be kept busy with a broad range of dynamic and challenging projects.
We are currently looking for a new media developer with plenty of initiative and drive who can work as part of a team. Creative thinking coupled with an interest in current design issues is a must.
On a daily basis this role job would focus on supporting 2 new media developers and 2 graphic designers. The majority of work will be web based, although there is also the opportunity to work on CD-ROM based projects and as such experience in this field would be beneficial.
The ideal candidate will have at least 1 years commercial experience using HTML, CSS and JavaScript, and be happy to learn more about languages such as ActionScript and Lingo. Experience with the Macromedia Studio MX suite is an absolute must and a basic knowledge of Macromedia Director would be a plus.
Salary dependant on experience. If you’re interested, then email me at work:
What this means for developers is that any site which you have built using ‘plug-in’ technology such as Flash, Windows Media Player, QuickTime or Real Player will act differently.
Every instance of plug-in content will prompt the user to click an ‘OK’ button in order that the plug-in can execute content. On some sites this will have a huge impact, other will not be affected.
Macromedia has identified some early workarounds, but these require significant changes to existing site code.

On Thursday last week I finally ordered a SLIMP3 player from Slim Devices after months of dribbling. It arrived on Friday morning, on Saturday I enrolled the help of my Father in law to drill the required holes for the LAN cable, and now it’s all up and running.
I’m going to be a Dad and today I saw our baby for the first time when we went for our 12 week Ultrasound Scan. This was the most amazing experience of my life to date I think, I never anticipated that you would be able to see so much at such an early stage.
