Mobile and HTML
Since yesterday I have been putting content into a mobile site for a company via a cns system that Pixillion had set up. Pretty simple, just take the text in the word doc and put it into the html form so that it will look the same when run. One annoy thing though, it seems in XHTML Mobile 1.0 the sub html tag does not work so all the CO2's look a bit wrong. Cant seem to find any info as to whether Im right or not. Just been catching up on my psd splitting to html now as its something I havent attempted before but is vital for web design. Seems pretty logical: use the splice tool to separate out all the images in the psd to separate files, build an html framework to fit the design and then pull the images in correctly both in html and css to create the final design. Nothing I couldnt cope with there Im thinking. My only dilemma is sizing in css, what with ems and pixels and percentages I dont quite see how people decide 1 from another. Maybe it doesnt matter...

What Ive been up to.
Last few days have been ok. Started with some flash AS2 games made in 2006 which needed their data capture and highscores rejigging. Took me some time to get my head around flash, php and xml again but once I had a system that worked for one it was just a matter of doing the same for the others. Originally Remco wanted the whole data capture system to be removed but in the end he felt that the highscores could be kept in locally for clients and Pixillion to use. These were for the new Pixillion website which will be relaunched soon as part of their portfolio work. I completed the work for those this morning and then also took some screenshots for the sites imagery. I have also just completed simplifying some client work for a company Harthill, who are having their site recreated by Pixillion, a simple job but anything is good. Ive also been running errands recently posting letters and buying screwdrivers... long story. There are so many projects on here though that it makes getting a task very difficult, everyone is so integrated into what they are doing. Im sure the longer Im here the better it will get. The new Pixillion website makes me smile, we had a meeting about it yesterday and I found that it was almost identical to the original ideas we had for the bdat site, what with filters and masonry and everything. Pretty funny, shame I didnt do enough of the dat website to be able to properly help with this one. Im sure Ill get involved somewhere along the way anyway. Going to find out about my next assignment now.

16/08/10 - Day 1 :S
Starting at Pixillion/Helastel/70OneLtd today, guess I could just put 70OneLtd but hey. Nice shiny Mac and my own desk is all good but everythings a bit up in the air at the moment so just got to hang on for a bit before I really get stuck in. Thats fine though, gives me a chance to get this blog all started for my placement year reports etc. Cant believe I have already managed to spill water everywhere on my first day of work, FOOL. Looks like everything is quite new round here, Helastel have just moved in this weekend which means nobody really knows anyone any more. The Pixillion group are all here and the Helastels are slowly turning up but I havent got a hope in hell of remembering everyones names yet. I suppose three out of 15 is not too bad :P. Placement Year here I come!!
