			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So after a year of living and breathing the Manchester lifestyle &#8211; and its certainly been an experience &#8211; Kim and I are bidding farewell to these fair lands and heading back to New Zealand (and a NZ summer!).</p>
<p>Its been a very interesting year &#8211; the bitter cold of winter certainly suprised us, the large pints got us through, the castles were amazing, the buildings so full of history, the accents so varied, the art, the culture and most importantly some awesome friends have been made that certainly make it quite a sad farewell. </p>
<p>But next week we head off on a European adventure! Paris, Barcelona, Rome, Venice, Oslo, Iceland and London are on the itinerary &#8211; a very busy month awaits, can&#8217;t wait! </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>During my time at <a href="http://www.cuckoodesign.com" target="_blank">Cuckoo Design</a> I coded the five template files we supplied them with &#8211; HTML,CSS and jQuery &#8211; for the new Police Mutual site that just went live.</p>
<p>The client set out that the templates needed to hit 100% compliance on the <a href="http://validator.w3.org/" target="_blank">W3C validator</a> for HTML4 Transitional. The internal web-development team for Police Mutual then took these and put them into the CMS they use, funnily enough it doesn&#8217;t pass the validator anymore.</p>
<p>Not the most exciting site, unless you&#8217;re in the Police in the UK &#8211; but technically theres some cool things going on in the site, check it out at <a href="http://policemutual.co.uk/" target="_blank">www.policemutual.co.uk</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the final projects that I had at <a href="http://www.cuckoodesign.com" target="_blank">Cuckoo Design</a> was to design and build the new company website. </p>
<p>Built on the WordPress platform it includes a mobile friendly version and has some cool CSS3 techniques that degrade gracefully should you have a less than modern browser.</p>
<blockquote><p>People who lived through &#8211; and led &#8211; the digital revolution. Who are experienced in the serious business disciplines of service and results. Yet, have never lost their innocence or ideals. Who still have a capacity to be intrigued. A desire to make friends. An eagerness to face challenges. And, above all, are motivated by the sheer exhilaration of having ideas and making them work. What do you call these people? In a word, Cuckoo.</p></blockquote>
<p><em>Currently still being populated by the guys at Cuckoo, so not quite live yet but have a sneaky look at <a href="http://cuckoo.cuckoodesign.com/">cuckoo.cuckoodesign.com</a>.</em></p>

<p>It utilises the amazing <a href="http://isotope.metafizzy.co/" target="_blank">Isotope</a> by <a href="http://desandro.com/" target="_blank">David Desandro</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>Chemistry and Cloth is simply a collection of things that make my eyes and senses sparkle.</p>
<p>I post content that I&#8217;ve found on my travels across the internet and the world, I only hope to promote those people/things that I find inspirational.</p>
<p>Its just a place where I can share what I love.</p></blockquote>

<p>The site incorporates CSS3 techniques in a custom Wordpres theme presenting Granby&#8217;s services and also offering an insight into the inner workings and machinations of Granby.</p>
