My projects
Well, it’s a new year and as everyone else are starting their fitness regimes, I’m thinking about what projects need finishing off, beginning and pushing. 2009 was a good year for me and some great accomplishments were made. I graduated with my Software Engineering Degree, I got ‘best project’ of 2009, I started my job [...]
Yet another milestone, Football Badges now has (close enough) 30,000 users. There are around 15,000 new users signing up per month at the moment, so hopefully we’ll hit the 100,000 mark very soon. There are 300,000,000 people using Facebook at the moment, so I think 1 in every 3,000 people having my application on their [...]
Similar to Football Badges I have just released Baseball Badges. The ideal is exactly the same, you add the application to your Facebook profile and it will display your favourite teams badge. Most major league teams are listed but more can be added on request. Baseball Badges

Recently I began a project with two other guys. The idea was simple; get a group of people signed up to a web site that asks you a unique question every day. This question changes at midnight and you can view your friends answers and comment on them. The project was finished about a week [...]

I recently had the pleasure of having a tinker with the Google Android SDK. At first I was extremely impressed at how well the whole thing had been put together. There is a whole array of developer tools, from the very realistic and thorough emulator to the activity logger and the Eclipse plug-in. I quickly [...]
I have just finished work on a new web site call Cycle Routes UK. The project was created for my dad, Chris Griffiths, for free. The idea of the site is simple: people can sign up, select a start and end location for a route, upload as much text as they want along with five [...]
The title says it all, really. Football Badges has hit the 2,000 members mark and is still going strong. It actually jumped up by 150 since the last time I checked a few days before. Check it out if you haven’t already. And if you like this then have a look at Football Feeds too. [...]
So, when I’m in work or doing some freelance stuff I often have to create structured reports that outline the problems with a website from an SEO perspective. It’s quite a difficult task sometimes as I always want the best for the clients and have to be careful not to recommend the wrong things incase [...]
