Parkour! I wish I could do that!
Ok so I know I was going to update this once a week and it’s been more like a month and a half since the last update! Reason being is that I have gone and got myself a job in central London working as a web developer, working on mostly Microsoft projects, like designing/laying out pages, creating a lot of internal/external MS newsletters, making ASP web applications and creating some C# .NET windows programs. Which is a pretty high ranking job as an intern (uni work placement year) as most of the people I know from uni have ditched the work placement year and went straight into the final year, without any work experience which most employers are looking for.
I have also finished building a website for friend called Halls 2 House making use of the UK Postcode/Google Maps API I developed the other month. It allows landlords to register up and advertise their houses online. Coded in PHP it features unlimited landlords and houses, automatic payment processing via PayPal, and a fully fledged admin centre for managing everything. The site is now live at halls2house.co.uk I will be adding it to my portfolio section soon. (If you’re a landlord in the Uxbridge area adding houses to the website is currently free!)
In gaming news I got GTA Liberty City Stories for my PSP last month and it is awesome, one of the best games on the PSP. It’s just like GTA3 but with bikes and different missions, graphics game play are exactly the same as the PS2/PC version. A must have game if you have a PSP. I have also being playing Fahrenheit (called Indigo Prophecy in the US) on the PC for a couple of months which is a sort of RPG style game where the storyline changes based on how you play the game, it has quite a bizarre plot which is worth a play.
Oh and don’t get Quake 4, it uses the Doom 3 graphics engine which kinda sucks as the original Quake games had their own engines which was much better. Quake 4 might as well be called Doom 4 as it just seems like a carry on from Doom 3, nothing like the last 3 Quakes.
In movies Oldboy is well worth a watch, the plot deals with one of the worse taboos imaginable and it worth a watch just for that alone! Also if you are into your weekly Podcasts Digg Nation is worth subscribing to, it covers most of the top stories from digg.com. Checkout the worlds most annoying/additive flash game and Parkour I wish I could do that!
