Miscellaneous ramblings of a web developer called David Parkinson. I work full time as a web developer but have interests in other things.
That’s right, i’m updating my iPhone 3GS right now (21/06/2010) to version 4.0. I’ve been waiting a while for some of the features of the newest update, mostly looking forwards to trying out the multi-tasking feature.
Here are some of the highlights of IOS 4.

Get on iTune right now and start... 
The First Election Debate was held in Manchester last night, I sat and watch it because I take politics very serious. A few months ago my vote was for Labour, then I changed to The Convservatives and after Nick Clegg’s outstanding performance last night has made me vote for him.
Nick Clegg managed to pursuade me and it’s something that I probably won’t change. It’s a real shame... 
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.

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...
