This month has been a bit of a bugger since were getting some T-Shirt whorthy days, like yesterday, then you end up with a muggy day like today. There's not been too much going on recently, although I was happy to find out that I am a qualified web designer!
I've been working real hard coding from 12pm till 2am for two days so far on my week off to get guyspot.co.uk back, and it's gong really well so far, I just need to satisfy a lot of concerns regarding: security, copyright, safety, accessability, data protection, maintenance and future plans regarding bandwidth and cost.
I could just wing it, but I used to be a member of gayremix.com until it died, I kind of lost interest, although I dont know the complete story behind why it came offline since i spent a lot of time on there.... I'm also working privately with a client to build up my portfolio to get me on the Market. Companies that call me are looking for graduate degrees, not graduate certificates, so it's just all hard work here.
Some talk has gone into a product I bought last week, which is and R(ed)G(reen)B(lue) laser. About a year back websites I looked at sold the for around £40,000. This year I was scouring for a green one, and one thing led to another and the the prices of them have now dropped to less than 10% of that.
I seeked out a company on eBay that builds, sells and repairs these and after a bit of haggling I bought the laser, software, and cables required to get me started. I scoured the net for the software 'moncha' and managed to download a copy, and the images, text and effects you can create are pretty impressive. Simple text can change colour, flip, rotate, warp, animate, scroll.... Or any combination. You have simple shapes too, and also a design program for more custom, complex shapes. It's pretty easy to use, and will be a unique feature to advertise once I get into DJing slightly more, I need to realize that I need to bring something that other djs can't, and lighting is a good part of the atmosphere id say....
