When I first set out with this new design last May, I promised myself that the site would be equal parts portfolio and writing. The reason for this is I wanted the 'blog' to be full of useful information on web development and the like, rather than superfluous diary entries.

This is why there has been little action to date, since there is not too much I've had to write about that I can only document on here. Most of my web-related work has been conducted within the confines on my job, and whilst I have learnt a considerable amount, most of the exciting projects are still in development and therefore I can't really post about it …yet. Academically my second year is moving ahead swimmingly, struggling with 3d but everything else is going well. I'm hoping to write a summary of the modules I've completed this year ¹ once they're finished off, hopefully giving an insight into what I've learnt, especially coming from a purely web-based background.

The reason for this post in particular is that I've updated the portfolio, both the main page and individual project pages. I conjured up a little piece of jQuery from scratch on a site I'm developing at the moment, and I reckoned it would be useful here, since the portfolio was a rushed job if I'm honest. So take a look, any feedback is more than welcome. Still ironing out the creases in the jQuery fades but its working fairly effectively so far. I'll be looking to update the front-page thumbnails at some soon too.
