Miscellaneous ramblings of a web developer called David Parkinson. I work full time as a web developer but have interests in other things.
Not only have I been making money from selling websites this month, I have been hard at work developing my very close friends (Carl Rosekilly) website.
We worked very closely on the project and Carl Rosekilly wanted a site that had a lot of visual impact, yet retain clarity and purpose. He also wanted some javascript animation that would add dynamics to the site. Working on such a visually strong... 
I put Talk Playstation up for sale last Sunday night/Monday morning on Flippa.com. I wasn’t expected massive amounts for the site but it generated alot of interest, i received private offers, made decisions and in the end it sold for a great $2700.
Am I happy with that? Of course I am! That’s around £1800. What will I do with the money? Well what I might do is put it into any future projects I... 
Earlier this week I listed Talk Playstation on Flippa, the site for buying and selling websites. Where am I up to with this? Well basically the site is currently standing in at $800, but this is sure to rise in the last few days. It ends in 4 days.
I’ve had some private offers of $3000 and currently negotiating an offer of $3800. To be honest, I’m not really that fussed on how much the website... 
Over the weekend I decided to put Talk Playstation.com up for sale purely for the fact that I and the authors don’t have time to keep it up to date. As you can see it gets around 2 new posts per day, which isn’t bad, but could be alot better. I’ve listed the site on flippa.com, you can view the listing here.
It’s gaining quite alot of interest, I’ve had a few private offers,... 
Over the past couple of months I’ve been developing a content management system to give myself something to aim for and achieve. What I do with the system is unknown, maybe I’ll start using it at work.
Anyway, I’ve been posting some stuff on here that I may find userful for other developers, whether they know how or not. I wanted to do some alternative row colour for some table results... 
If you read this blog you will have learnt that I lost my iPhone over the Xmas period while I was out drunk. I didn’t have insurance on the handset so I had no other option but to either buy another phone or just get another iPhone, namely the iPhone 3GS.
What did I do? Because I’m so in love with Apple’s device I decided to order an iPhone 3GS 16GB, I might as well of ordered the top... 
Christmas has been and gone and I had a great one! Spent alot of time with my family, played alot of Playstation 3 games, drank alot of alcohol and just had fun.
It all started off on Xmas eve when I went out on a night out in town, great night but to my shock horror I had lost my iPhone! I was like noooooooooooo. It’s the first gadget I’ve ever lost ever! £400 down the drain and I have to buy...
