As mentioned (http://www.odd-uk.com/wp7-storing-colours/) I’ve been updating Bin Day to support the new features in Mango, unfortunately due to a combination of the problems I talked about in the previous blog post and ‘real life’ commitments this took a little longer than I’d hoped. But it’s now fully baked and available in the Windows Phone Marketplace, [...]
I spend quite a lot of time keeping up to date with what’s on offer for design studios to manage their projects. I’ve installed six over the years and recommended many many more. Most companies who sell MIS or Project Management systems will offer a free evaluation period, but there is still a big barrier [...]
In the middle of September at the Build Conference in Anaheim, California, Microsoft officially announced the next version of Windows – Windows 8. In the design community a new release of Windows barely raises a eyebrow of interest. Well community, I think this time around we should all sit up and take notice, this is [...]
I just got bitten on the bum by a poor design choice (although I didn’t know it at the time) in the Bin Day application. The app lets a user pick a colour for any bin that they add. Because I’d be rendering various graphics to the phone in the chosen colours I figured that [...]
I normally recommend staying well clear of politics and religion on a company blog, so why am I posting about the Alternative Voting system?

Getting organised doesn’t happen all at once. Continual small steps towards your goal is defiantly the order of the day. So lets start with some easy stuff, the digital files that are the day to day assets for all your projects. The project folder system is fairly generic so should work equally well across a number of disciplines with the minimal amount of tweaking.
With the latest round of browsers comes the ability to render inline SVG. Using a fluent syntax, svghelpers allows you to define SVG mark-up in ASP.NET MVC views.
I’ve been doing quite a bit with Adobe IDML files and SVG recently, both formats work natively in Points. So I created an extension method for .NET 4 that converts a number into the equivalent value in Points.
On January 27th Microsoft’s issued RC1 (release candidate) of their new web development framework ASP.NET MVC (Model View Controller). Not a replacement for Web Forms, MVC is billed as an alternative option when building ASP.Net web applications.
