ProjectX Technology

The team from innaworks have officially launched alcheMo, their J2ME to Brew porting solution. This tool will help streamline the mobile development process to support multiple phone platforms through their translator. This will help save companies save mega-bucks in development costs.

Kudos to Stephen and the team for another kick mobile development product!

Another enjoyable webstock mini event. Lots of fun had by all. Nice to see a good turn out by all of the Wellington web companies.

Leigh Blackall’s look at Second life via an education focus was interesting. Maybe we should work on Summer of Code 2.0 Second life island…. Hmmm something to think about

The Web 2.0 debate was really fun. Mike Brown’s speech and Phil’s heckling were a highlight. ProjectX is part of the Web 2.o conspiracy with our Rankr rating a mention.

Kudo’s to webstock team for running another great event!

We’d like to welcome Paul Gold, who has joined ProjectX as part-time CTO.

Paul has recently began consulting after finishing at Trade Me as their resident database and infrastructure guru. Paul also was a part of last year’s summer of code.

Paul, will post more about himself shortly.

Nahum sent through this link to a post on 100 free CSS resources.

The list includes a number of tools that will help you with your website optimisation.

Enjoy!

I can’t believe I’ve never seen this before! Information Aesthetics is a blog by Andrew Vande Moere from the University of Sydney that highlights examples of fascinating, illuminating, experimental and just plain gorgeous data visualisations on a vast range of topics. There are maps, of course, and everything from social network visualisations and airline infographics to interactive architecture and “human visualisations” (a video of people dancing to demonstrate protein interactions). The projects range from the practical and political to pure art, but it’s always full of inspiring ideas and plenty of eye candy.
