Ramblings of a pixel-pushing, barely-sane Sabbatical officer and Meeja Whore

The best Grad Ball website in the world? Maybe

At last, after many hours of work, arguments and "constructive criticism" (which, I suspect, narrowly avoided descending into fist-based negotiations ;o), the Graduation Ball 2007 mini-site is up and running, announcing the Scratch Perverts and The Cuban Brothers as the headline acts:

Grad Ball 2007 homepage

I'm really proud of this project, because I think it might be one of the best bits of HTML I've helped to produce. It might not validate perfectly, and it might not tick all the right "boxes" for anyone else, but compared to pages I was producing 24 months - or even just 12 months - ago, the development in my coding and design is pretty clear.

I.e. I was "pretty bad"; now I'm just "fairly bad". Something like that, anyway...

I'm hoping everyone involved in the project also feels it's come out well. I was largely responsible for the later stages of the project, so the other contributors to it haven't had much input during these stages. Hopefully, there won't be tears in the office tomorrow morning.

I'm also crossing my fingers that what's gone into the FAQs page doesn't turn out to be wildly inaccurate (although what's there is a collection of what's been communicated to students for the last couple of months, so it should be ok).

Basically, I'm exhausted but proud... And we all know what comes after pride. In any case, please take a look, join the Facebook groups (1, 2), and enjoy the ball if you're going!

/al - off to get some sleep

Welcome to my online ramblings repository. As of Friday 16th March, I have been sentenced to serve an extra 18 months in Portsmouth as a Sabbatical officer at the Union. Until then, I have to get my degree and train up to be a Sabb while running UPSU.net

about me

"Grumpy, geeky old grey-head"

'Ello! I'm Alex, and I'm one of the mysterious and slightly-shady figures know as "Sabbatical Officers" - my job title is something like Media Whore, and I divide my time equally between upsetting students, annoying staff members, tweaking the UPSU.net web ... (read more).
