a look at 2008
well as 2009 is under way I wanted to post something about what I did in 2008.
Here it is.
Projects that I completed for fun:
http://justaddme.com - a social widget
http://crowdstatus.com - a place to group twitter people
songs and me - a twitter like application for posting what your current fav song is. I decided that once it was up that I was not in love with it so pulled it.
http://diystartupnews.com - converted a wordpress blog to a user generated news source for startup related news.
I also setup a couple of other blogs for friends and really enjoyed working in wordpress 2.7
Professional work in 2008:
Stuartmedia - my web development company
Nokia - 6 months working on Comes With Music
brayleino - contracting web dev work
Skills I learnt:
ActionScript 3 (flex)
Siverlight 2
.net MVC
Cocoa/Obj-C
jquery
So what for 2009:
hopefully a lot more releases than I managed this year. I have updated versions of most of my projects that need to be released.
Crowdstatus is changing a lot, the new version has more sources not just twitter, it has new widgets and also a ton of stuff I am not ready to discuss in public just yet.
Justaddme is also due a massive update, I have most of it done but I have decided to throw it all a way and take a day to code it from scratch. There are some really good new widgets in the new version and hopefully a way to earning money from it.
I have a couple of adobe AIR based apps in the works too so when I get some time I will apply some polish and release em.
As I spent 08 playing with mobiles and html on them I have decided that 09 I will spend more time doing applications. iphone games and andriod games are in the works with other talented folks.
Along with all these things mentioned I am actually working on other stuff I hope to release shortly. I am addicted to twitter at the moment so they are twitter themed.
