Week fourteen review
This week was somewhat plagued with bugs! Not completely a bad thing though as now they are all fixed. Very frustrating though and it is annoying when you can’t see much visible progress.
On Tuesday I had the chance to go to an apprenticeships conference with Alan Sugar. It was quite interesting and has given me some info I can hopefully use in the future.
Received some interesting news on a building I may be able to work from but it is not 100% yet.

Had a good few days off with my brother last week. We drove all over Northumberland looking at castles and checking out Hadrians Wall. It was a lot of fun. The weather was perfect and it was a great reminder of how beautiful England is in the summer. I really needed the break but it [...]

Another busy week working on ZAVAM. It is now 95% ready to go into beta! Just a few niggly problems left with the hosting provider (Amazon EC2). Should have them sorted by the end of the week though and I am hoping to make the service available to pre registered users (you can register here [...]

Not much to update with this week, just been working away and getting a lot done. ZAVAM is starting to look very good. I have most of the features I need to launch with done. It is just a matter of fixing up a few things and making the experience a lot nicer. It will [...]
Week nine review
I sent off another proposal this week. It represents a much more scaled down version of the plan which I think is going to be much more realistic in the short term. It is also for a foundation I would really like to work with so here is hoping that they catch my vision.
I managed [...]
Week eight review
This week I have made some big strides in two of the products I have been working on. The schedule I have planned out is quite ambitious and I actually wasn’t sure if I was going to get everything done that I had planned this week – but I did, yay!
There are a couple of [...]

Most of this week has been spent working on my secret new application. It is coming along well and I think I have a realistic timeline in place. I have started using Redmine for managing features and timelines. It is very cool, much better than trac. I haven’t managed to get SVN intergration working yet [...]

Well a short week this time and not so much to update with, The most major news was that the application to Learning Launchpad was not successful. Not a problem though there are plenty of other grants to apply for like this one which is all about inspiring young people, sounds like a perfect fit [...]

Another fairly good week, didn’t do as much as I would like but it has been pretty good nevertheless.
After a marathon two day editing session and with a lot of help from my friend Sara, I finished writing and submitted my first funding proposal to the Learning Launchpad. I will find out in a couple [...]

Well this week started with disaster! I spilled water on kate (my laptop, yes I realise it is sad and slightly disturbing that she has a name) and after leaving her to dry out she wouldn’t start up! I have sent her off off for repair now and it is going to cost a lot [...]
