100 080908 - Laughing in the face of 17 hour days
09/10/2008
So, on August 12th, I started work on the new do1 site. The big pimpin' gentleman in the yellow is the designer/owner of the new site and there's a reason he's looking smug. Aside from the fact that we managed to turn around this monolithic site in under a month (complete with my first proper Wordpress integration and my first real foray into mootools), it has turned out totally awesome (even if I do say so myself!). The powerhouse in grey with crazy eyes is Krzysztof, the legend who leapt in on release day to tie up loose ends with me.
Whilst this has not been the application-oriented site that I'm used to, it is an HTML and CSS beast, with transparency and javascript animation coming out the whazoo. Needless to say, I'm quite proud of myself aside from a couple of small things that I want to tidy up (namely full Opera and Firefox 2 support).
This all went down on Monday, after a 17.5 hour day, which metaphorically put me on my ass to the extent that I've had today off work. Quite convenient, really, when you consider that the Sky man's coming to fit a dish today. Almost as if I'd planned it!
Enjoy the new do1 site, and let me know what you think/if you get any errors (unless you're in Opera or Firefox 2)
