Radio silence once again due to University work and job commitments, hopefully I’ll be able to post a new pieces of work to the portfolio once they go live. Good news on the academic side: my Maya project got 78% overall, so a nice 1st for the module! One more exam to go on Software Engineering and thats me for the year.

However, the work doesn’t stop there with my final year project in the works over the next year: weighing in at 30% on my entire degree, I’m making sure I get this right. The name alone has taken me a while to settle on, but I’ve settled (for now at least) for UR!KA, as part of the course I have to maintain a development blog, which has given me an oppurtunity to start using Tumblr, an application I’ve always wanted to sink my teeth into.

I’ve start quite a bit of research into the specification and functionality, even writing up a brief document of deliverables. The next part is a combination of design elements and planning the coding structure. Due to the limited time frame of the project, I’ve decided to use the CodeIgniter PHP library to handle the bulk of the development for me, so I can focus on the nitty-gritty parts rather than core. For design, I’m looking around a some of the beautiful new sites on the net, such as DeviantArt v8 and Dribbble, for inspiration.

Its a long road ahead.
