Blog

Michael Sibbons BSc Hons

The second blog in almost two months, and the third in over a year. Wow.

Well as now I actually have time to focus on web stuff again I can attempt to try keep this updated a bit more.

University

Well it's taken four years, but i've finished. Yep, and the better news is i've finished with a grading: 'Second Class Honours, Upper Division (2 i)'. Put it this way i've never been so happy in my life, finishing from a good university with a good degree, in a decent subject.

Now the job hunting begins!

Oh and if there was ever any question i am going to be signing off any letter, email and everything else Michael Sibbons BSC Hons. BECAUSE I CAN!

Photography

Unfortunatly I haven't been up to much in a while which is a bit of a shame. Being busy in last few months of university, and nothings really been happening at home.

Did buy myself a new toy for my birthday though!

600w lamp + beauty dish

Yes I do need four lights. It's mainly I need the 600w one for if/whenever i'm doing anything outside. Naturally I haven't had a chance to use it yet. Kinda annoying as I really want to use the beauty dish. Although next on the list is a portable power unit!

Gradball

Well considering this is the photo section of the blog should probably mention the lat thing I shot. Last ever gig I will do most likely, but got to shoot gradball, so here's a couple of pictures.

I Am Tich

and..

Pixie Lott

If anyone wants to do something photo-y some time though, please let me know!

Web Design

Something else I haven't done for a very long time. Web work. Got a lot to mention there I have!

sibbons.net

Right this website has been in development for well over a year. It's a shame as it isn't particularly complicated, I haven't had to create any new CMS modules, it's more just been stuck in development hell. Well one of the reasons im writing this blog is so I have some new content on there.

Here's a picture of it

When it's live you will be able to find it at www.sibbons.net.

Captive Music

I've also had my first commisioned job in a long, long time (from someone I met at uni, but work's work!). Had to make a microsite for a music competition up north. It all works and I quite like the way it's come out, so i'm not complaining!

You can view the whole site here: www.captivenorth.co.uk/captive-music/, so they get some free advertising also!

Final Year Project

Lastly in the web design area of this post, I should probably mention my final year project. I got a first in it. Yay! It was basically a conference management tool for scientific conferences.

Well that's it for this week! Haven't much else to report. I'll try get round to blogging again next week though!
