Those who follow me on Twitter will know that I recently had a large issue whilst developing a site with CSS and IE not playing ball at all...yes that old chestnut is back!
The main problem arose whilst building a site with a 3 column layout, which had 2 columns in the centre as well as 2 full width sections above and below that. Normally I'm pretty good with CSS and getting it to work cross-browser, however for some reason this time I didn't test all the way through the development...

Well what a month this past month has been! I got moved back into my parents house and started the job search as nearly every graduate will have done, applied left, right and centre, I even had an interview with Apple! After not much luck at all I got a call from a nice guy called Nick who was recruiting for a developer role which he thought would suit me perfectly, it would involve me re-locating again but this really wasn't an issue to me so I got an interview arranged and off I trotted on...

Well I can go back slightly on what I said about moving sucking, I don't so much mind the moving side of things, it was the leaving all my friends in Lincoln that sucked so my previous post was possibly a wrong title, however I can't be bothered to change that now so it's staying :-) I have come to realise that I will see these friends again at some point soon, and with the few events that are coming up involving them. I am now all moved back to Reading with my parents and I have to be...

Well I've been pretty busy these past few weeks after the realisation hitting that I'm not going to be able to stay in Lincoln after the tenancy on my student house is up due to there being no full time jobs for me here. I've spent most of the time sorting the house out getting things packed up slowly, attempting to get everything into boxes that make sense instead of just chucking everything into random boxes thinking I'll sort it all out at a later date. I'm having to move back in with my...

After three years I have now finished my (BSc) Audio Technology degree :-) It's been such a great three years of my life, I've met so many new people, learnt so much about subjects I've never even thought about before, and made a fair few really good mates.
The tenancy on my house ends at the end of June which means that I'm going to have to leave all my friends here and move back to my parents in Reading, which I'm not overly happy about to be honest. Since my degree course finished...

Music today is in my opinion totally different to the music from say the 60's-80's. In the past musicians had to be REALLY good to get a deal, they actually had to play the instruments that they went on stage with, they had to be able to sing in key or play in key, the drummer had to keep the beat solid throughout the whole song, everything had to be played right. We didn't have ProTools, Logic Pro, or any other DAW system to record to see a pretty wave form, and then as a sound engineer go...

After spending a while sorting out my MacBook Pro with all my audio software I needed a break from that so decided to challenge myself into building an iPhone application that I personally would find useful, and would use a lot. This app would have to be written and fully working in one day (24 hours) from start to finish whatever I decided to build. It so happened that the app I built today took just under an hour to build to the point I wanted it at, so I'll use the remaining 23 hours to...

Eventful does not really begin to describe the last month and everything that has happened during it. I guess the eventful parts to this month started at the end of December when things started getting odd in the house. New Years eve came around and me and Claire were over, I had no plans and didn't really want to sit around at home doing nothing. In the end I went to a mates house and had a great time with loads of other mates who turned up throughout the night, drinking from 6:30pm until 6...

I had my first remix technologies lecture this week, and at first I have to admit I was slightly skeptical about what was going to be involved in this unit. Was I going to have to take a song and make a completely new version? How was all this going to be assessed? Various other things went through my mind which were cleared up and to my joy in a way that actually could work out easier.
We have to find and enter a remix competition that actually exists. This means that by entering a...
