Have been working all day on EDODUK, in particular my about page, I have added some content and incorporated photo thumbnails with the full images openable in a rather snazzy Lytebox. Local development on Mimas now uses an Apache virtual host, pretty much essential to avoid headaches with mod_rewrite and script paths not being properly recognised.

I have two potential web development jobs coming up, including one for my sister's fashion venture, a meeting for which has been scheduled to take place soon and another for a local inventor to market the product online. Also got a meeting on the 11th to discuss a potential IT industry placement, something I am very eager to pursue.

Absolutely delighted to open my inbox this evening to find my Adobe Flex application for a free professional edition licence has been accepted. I am currently working on my second Flex project (my first being the Flickr photo stream on the right of this page), a player stats viewer for the EA Game, Battlefield 2. I'm also contemplating a Twitter client, speaking of which I am currently developing a very basic Twitter client in VB.net using libcurl.

Today I'm hitting the online job sites such as monster.co.uk and thejobsmine.co.uk to see what's out there, I'd love to get a first proper job in web development, it will be great to have an income so I can start saving towards my first car and of course a deposit for when I get a place of my own. I've put together a rather spiffing CV in Microsoft Word, currently making some finishing touches, you know I'm not very used to this whole 'selling yourself' thing.

In other news, last night I was experimenting with various video resolutions and compression and have uploaded a test video for my new screencast project to my channel on YouTube, I was very impressed with the results, the video inexplicably looking sharper in YouTube than in Zoom Player or Windows Media Player. Site wise, I need to fix the layout so the right sidebar doesn't overflow out of the #main div, I also need to clean up the rather messy CSS and do general site maintenance, I also need to get writing the other pages, for now at least, it's back to finding a job.
