My First iPhone/iPod application – Dark Legacy Comics – Now in App Store!
Well, after a week of waiting and implementing changes I finally got my first Application in the iTunes App Store. I started work on the application on Monday 8th of Feb. Had it all finished and first submission by the Thursday, after one rejection and a hefty "In Review" stage of my re-submission the Application made it into the App Store on Wednesday 17th of Feb. Needless to say I'm rather happy! 
What is it?
Well, it's a comic reader for the Warcraft based series "Dark Legacy Comics" something I've been reading and loved for a long time now. I chose this because it could implement a lot of different technologies in the future yet remain rather simple as a learning tool. But also so that I could have constant access to the comics without having to just use Safari.
What's planned for the future?
Of this application I almost have version 1.1 ready to go live with Facebook integration. I'm also working on twitter integration for a version later down the line. In the future I intend to implement Push messaging to alert you of new comics also rating and comment facilities.
What does it look like?
Here's a few screen shots of the app in action!
Where can I get it?
You can either do a search on the iTunes App Store for "Dark Legacy" or even easier go to the following address!

Apple 3D desktop wallpapers
I've been spending a lot of time over Christmas working with some 3D packages increasing my skill with them for, hopefully, some major 3D modelling projects later on this year. But here, as a taster, are a couple of desktop images to show off your macs! Both are done in 1440x900, enjoy! 
Web Development: Natural and Sympathetic – Bespoke Timber Buildings, Garden Maintenance, Property Maintenance
I've just finished work on a web site for a brand new company called "Natural and Sympathetic" and the site is now live. The company specializes in Bespoke Timber Buildings, Garden Maintenance and general Property Maintenance. I wasn't entirely sure where I wanted to go with the design for this and couldn't decide between a standard extendible layout or something more static, but with them wanting a gallery on the site I decided to go for a static layout with a flash rotating gallery as the main page.
The flash gallery was built from the ground up, something I've not done before, so I was very happy with the outcome and I'll probably add a tutorial in the future for this style of gallery as it's not something I actually managed to track down on the interwebz. But finally, if you are after any kind of building work or maintenance I really suggest checking out Natural and Sympathetic. The work they do really does look stunning and the tree house... Well It's gorgeous! Go check out the website and give them a call!
