Econsultancy Redesign

Above are the fruits of the last 6 months of work at econsultancy.com, I’ve been responsible for all the html (using erb), css (using sass) as well as lots of ruby and rails programming.

We completely re-wrote the site which was previously asp and mssql whilst transferring over 70,000 user accounts and changing the data model as we go (the migration script took 6 hours to run!)

There is still loads of stuff there to work on but the switch to rails means we can build all kinds of awesome features with the standard REST api we have at our disposal, plus I’m looking forward to making an iphone optimized version in the future.

IT Crowd Season 3 Filming

Saturday, November 1st, 2008 - No Comments

On the set of the IT Crowd

Last night I went to the set of the IT Crowd, where I got to see the last two episodes of the upcoming third season. From the two shows I saw I’d have to say that this is inline to be the funniest season so far.

I also managed to get to see them last year, where I also took a couple sneaky photos, and if you look closely on the ‘making of’ in the extras section of season 2, you might even see me!

I got the tickets from SRO Audiences, if your in London you should signup for updates for the filming of season 4 next year!
