A while back I took part in a project with The PPC to build a ‘different’ microsite for the (then) new film Avatar. I don’t know what happened to this project, I spent a good while optimising and refactoring to get it running really smoothly but then I got paid and I didn’t hear anything else. It seems that it may not have gone out in time, which is a really shame cos it’s awesome! Anyway, have a look, tell me what you think.

Introducing The ‘Give Chrome’ Campaign
Now this may have been the most work I’ve ever done hung over. During the week that just past, I’ve been working with the guys and gals at Google UK on a few top secret projects. They’ve all been bubbling quite nicely, and have given me enough time to explore different technologies and techniques to make the projects awesome. However, to the end of the week a huge fire cropped up: the ‘Give Chrome‘ campaign needed my help.

Developing And Deploying PHP Apps With Capistrano, Phing And DBDeploy
So I’ve started on my new little project Proxie. In order for it to be scalable, I’ve started using Capistrano for the development and deployment processes. Furthermore, I’m also using Phing and DBDeploy to handle the database migrates.
But that’s not where the fun stops, I’m also making use of some great Ruby Gems, locally rather than on the server, to compress static assets, such as CSS, JS and images.

Did Someone Say Polygons?
So, I’ve got a new brief that requires me to make use of hexagons in Flash. Not a problem I said and went about making a base Polygon class, and without further ado, here it is.

The Best Of Us Challenge Wins FWA’s Site Of The Day!!
Woohooo!!! Finally, I’ve worked on a project that’s won an FWA award! The Best Of Us Challenge is centred around the YouTube Contest API and involves you, the general public, challenging athletes at a range of different things.
There’s quite a few different challenges and they’re always being updated! The concept is really cool, you watch a video, record your own challenge and upload it. You can also call for a challenge too!

Monetizing Your Video Player (Take 2)
So, last time I spoke about monetizing a video player, I was tasked with integrating Tremor Media components. That failed spectacularly because the dev team there, well, aren’t helpful.
So, I then told the sales guys I was working with: “Tremor Media isn’t going to work, what’s the plan?”. The pointed me to LiveRail. And this was awesome…

Introducing The *Native* Actionscript3 YouTube Player
So, give a hand to the developers at YouTube for their hard work! They’ve taken the AS3 YouTube Player out of beta, albeit just chromeless, and all ready for production.
Let’s hope that the chromed version is coming very soon, but now let’s concentrate on getting used to this new player.

Fun With YAML
Yes indeedy, YAML is fun. A project that I’ve been working on required that I set up a simple fault and tracking hook in the Flash application that then notified a bug tracking service, in this case it’s Hoptoad.
Apart from being a dyslexic’s nightmare to pronounce, it’s actually a really nice and simple service that keeps track of any faults that may appear in your code from time to time.
