Featured in .net Issue 181
-.net Issue 181
I've achieved one of my personal goals today. I'm featured in this months .net magazine issue 181 and I have to say I'm very excited to see my name (and face) in print!
OK, I've not written one of the six page spreads’ whose titles adorn the front cover (yet), but I am very proud to appear in the Readers’ Sites showcase on page 16. I’ve come across some great designers in this section since I’ve been reading .net and it humbles me to appear alongside them.
- My slot in the Readers' sites showcase.

Havoc Inspired is the home of my personal blog and portfolio and has just undergone a major redesign conforming to web standards throughout. My aim has been to link all my online personas into one central hub, giving visitors small snippets of what’s going on in my life as they move through the site. The blog is powered by Movable Type using my own templates, CSS, PHP and jQuery for elements such as the Ajax comments and preview. I used a neon brush set in Photoshop to achieve the flame effect and experimented with gradients and filters for the background texture that is designed to pull your focus towards the centre of the site.
Thanks .net people for including me!

Tech Read
A great reference book for learning jQuery, broken into sensible chapters focused on jQuery's core functions.

Book 1 of A Time Odyssey, Arthur C. Clarke's final trilogy before passing away. Time's Eye is an interesting idea, but not his strongest novel unfortunately.
