Site Redesign Ideas

Jordan H — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 14:37:15 +0000

I’m thinking about a redesign for JordanH.net and to tie it in with JordanHatch.co.uk as a portfolio site. I’m going to build it from the ground up with WordPress. Any ideas inparticular you’d like to see on the new site?

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas from JordanH.net! Have a great Christmas and a happy new year! Thanks for reading my blog this year and I hope I’ll keep it up (and maybe post a little more frequently) throughout the years to come. How are you spending Christmas this year? Personally, I’ll be playing Guitar Hero: World Tour for most of [...]

Midnight Club: LA

I picked up a copy of Midnight Club: Los Angeles today. I love the city, and the gameplay is good albeit rather difficult. I recommend it though!

Mobile Fotos

After having a great experience with Twittelator Pro for my iPhone, I decided to buy another paid app from the App Store. In particular, I was looking for a good Flickr application, and it didn’t take me long to find Mobile Fotos. The application is quick and easy to use. You can view almost everything - [...]

WordPress 2.7

Jordan H — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 23:14:17 +0000

WordPress 2.7 is coming out anytime, and RC1 has been released. I’m looking forward to it, as I think the admin panel redesign in 2.5 didn’t do the software justice. Might upgrade my blog tonight too, now it’s kinda stable.

Need for Speed: Sellout

Jordan H — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 17:08:27 +0000

The games industry is now as important as movies when it comes to money made from releases. Grand Theft Auto IV, for instance, made $310 million on its first day in sales alone. However, there are some companies (*cough* EA *cough*) who are monetizing games far beyond new items and mission packs. I’m in particular pointing [...]

The Day Off

We had a day off yesterday, so a few friends and I headed on the train to Liverpool.

PHPNW ‘08

Jordan H — Sun, 23 Nov 2008 00:24:31 +0000

Today I’ve been out to PHPNW ‘08, a web development conference at the Manchester Central Convention Complex (formerly the G-MEX). I was helping out so I had an early start, and was in Manchester for 8:30am. It got off to a great start, and over the day I met some great people and saw some [...]

New Xbox Experience

Jordan H — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 11:10:39 +0000

Downloaded this last night, made my avatar and enjoyed having a party chat with some friends. Sure, it might take some getting used to, but it's an improvement none-the-less.

There are some things in life…

Jordan H — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 11:01:33 +0000

I have something to confess. Yes, I don’t watch Big Brother (or its spin-off shows), I try not to watch X Factor and certainly not Strictly Come Dancing. However, there is one reality TV show which draws me in from the start each year, and I cannot help it! (: But what is more entertaining than [...]
