That may not seem unusual for anyone reading this born after about 1990, but for this grizzled 31 year old, my generation were one of the first to be born in to a world engrossed in new entertainment forms and dominated by Atari. I can … 2011-02-03T15:27:32+00:00 http://www.project14.co.uk/blog/read/management-time-vs-designer-developer-time/ http://www.project14.co.uk/blog/read/management-time-vs-designer-developer-time/#When:16:07:58Z [This is highly paraphrased from an article titled something similar, which I can't find anymore despite searching every nook and cranny of Google with every variant of said title. If you find it, please let me know - it's definitely a better read.] If you work for an agency, or even … 2010-11-24T16:07:58+00:00 http://www.project14.co.uk/blog/read/the-new-xbox.com-homepage-is-a-pile-of-shit/ http://www.project14.co.uk/blog/read/the-new-xbox.com-homepage-is-a-pile-of-shit/#When:08:36:55Z Firstly, let me say that I know what a challenge it is to build large, content hungry sites, with masses of features, and that's not on a scale even close to what's involved with Xbox.com, so my criticism isn't blind. Having said that... What the fuck Microsoft? On a brand so … 2010-10-27T08:36:55+00:00 http://www.project14.co.uk/blog/read/barclays-are-twats/ http://www.project14.co.uk/blog/read/barclays-are-twats/#When:12:23:10Z Ever wonder why small businesses get pissed off with banks? No, me either, until I heard of Matt's (my flatmate) conversation with them, at which point I realised that if/when I ever start my own business, I'm going to have to keep my money under my mattress, and only pay for … 2009-12-03T12:23:10+00:00 http://www.project14.co.uk/blog/read/dear-pro-evo-its-not-you-its-me/ http://www.project14.co.uk/blog/read/dear-pro-evo-its-not-you-its-me/#When:23:19:50Z I'm sorry, but I can't do it anymore. I can't pretend that I'm in love with you anymore, I'm just not. I've fallen for your younger cousin, who, when we first started our relationship was an ugly, akward thing, full of odd habits and stupid decisions - but now she's grown … 2009-10-05T23:19:50+00:00 http://www.project14.co.uk/blog/read/you-will-get-stuck-in-a-rut/ http://www.project14.co.uk/blog/read/you-will-get-stuck-in-a-rut/#When:14:00:20Z It's inevitable. It's frustrating. It's a complete pile of arse. But it will happen at some point, whatever you do, if you've spent 10 years in the same profession - you'll come to the realisation, either as a smack-in-the-face-shock, or a slow burning irritation, that you're stuck. You do the same … 2009-09-18T14:00:20+00:00 http://www.project14.co.uk/blog/read/one-vision-produces-better-results-mostly/ http://www.project14.co.uk/blog/read/one-vision-produces-better-results-mostly/#When:13:30:25Z I don't like being told what to do - nobody does - but it really grates my cheese when it happens around a subject that I trust myself in, like web design (those of you who just snorted and rolled your eyes - feel free to leave now). If you have … 2009-09-10T13:30:25+00:00 http://www.project14.co.uk/blog/read/something-will-usually-go-wrong/ http://www.project14.co.uk/blog/read/something-will-usually-go-wrong/#When:15:20:35Z It doesn't matter how hard you try, how much planning you do, how skilled you think you are, without fail something will go wrong when you're building a website. You'll miss some critical IE6 (spit) bug that only the boss will notice, you'll forget to add in the Analytics code until … 2009-09-02T15:20:35+00:00 http://www.project14.co.uk/blog/read/the-next-thing-you-do-will-be-better/ http://www.project14.co.uk/blog/read/the-next-thing-you-do-will-be-better/#When:23:35:52Z Maybe it's the fickle artist in me, or maybe it's staring at the same thing for weeks on end, but I'm never happy with the sites I produce in the immediate aftermath of finshing them. As soon as something's live, I tend to look at it in a completely different light, … 2009-08-29T23:35:52+00:00 http://www.project14.co.uk/blog/read/10-things-ive-learned-in-10-years-of-web-design-and-development/ http://www.project14.co.uk/blog/read/10-things-ive-learned-in-10-years-of-web-design-and-development/#When:11:20:41Z I realised when I turned 30 in July that it's been more than 10 years since I started building websites (actually it's more like 13), and in that time I've accumulated a shit-ton of knowledge about what I do - some of it useful, some of it retarded - and it … 2009-08-29T11:20:41+00:00
