Jom360 – Under Redevelopment

If you haven’t noticed the Jom360 Domain is re-registered… however the site is still being worked on.

The project for those that don’t know allowed Joomla! + JomSocial to integrate with the Xbox Live Platform through an unofficial API, however we now have access to some new API’s which will allow this project to be reborn… however there are a few issues outlined below:

The whole codebase needs rewritting to work with both Joomla 1.7 and the latest JomSocial, which means we also need to fix the 1.5 version (for those who have not upgraded however this will only be done if released before the offical 1.5 stop support date).

We don’t have access to JomSocial so we have no office way of testing the script.

JomPSN and JomWii will come at somepoint in 2012 (end of probably) but the main priority will be for Jom360 at this point in time, there will be 2 versions of the script once re-released… a free version (backlink supported) and a paid version (more feature with no backlink… won’t be expensive £5 tops for lifetime… will be serial number supported though… to stop unoffical sharing).

The forums are open on the Jom360 website for ideas and feedback.

GameMBO .. What’s Happening?

Time for an update on GameMBO which has been offline for sometime now, it will be returning with a new look and a new aim.

The BETA site is currently in development, plus users and articles from the old site will remain in the new one, the popular Jom360 JomSocial / Joomla plugin will return (The Xbox Live Integration), as well as JomPSN (Hopefully if there is a PSN API).

The site will now cover all aspects of news across several platforms, these being Xbox, Playstation, Wii, PC & Handheld Devices, as well as better more up to date followings on conferences, the site will no longer be based so much around a community but more towards news and comments, the community parts will remain, they just wont be so prominent.

At the moment my ETA on the site is 2 – 3 Months before a functional BETA site can be released, but once that happens there will be a announcement.

Foreign workers took three in four new jobs in Britain in the last year

I was reading the Daily Mail today when I came across this very interesting and infuriating article:

Iain Duncan Smith was RIGHT: Foreign workers took three in four new jobs in Britain in the last year

According to this article in the last year, employed foreigners rose from 334, 000 to over 4 million, but in the same time British born workers rose by only 77, 000.

According to business leaders they would rather employ foreigners than youngsters for the following reasons:

Mr Duncan Smith’s comments provoked a furious backlash from British business leaders who said that British youngsters were too lazy, ill-educated and lacking the work ethic to compete for jobs.

I found this comment extremely infuriating and offensive as I know many people who would love to get back into work (who are under 25), that would be willing to work hard and get the job done to the best of their ability.
Granted some young people couldn’t care less, but for the majority this isn’t the case, so where do they get this idea from?

I DO agree with the following statement though:

They also blamed the welfare system for not encouraging more unemployed British people to find work.

This would be the case now the Government has unwisely cut funding to the job center, I find it hard to understand why as they want people back in work but cut the funding for one of the few places which can make that happen, the job center can no longer pay for training, or spend too much time with an individual.

Businesses need to get their act together and look for employees closer to home before considering outside work, how is the economy meant to recover when very few people born in Britain can work?

There are millions of people in this country who have the skills required, and who are willing to work extremely hard just to earn enough to live on, but in my opinion because they are not willing to work for the bare minimum, and are willing to argue any unfairness in the workplace this makes the employers uninterested.

I’m not being racist I’m just stating the bloody obvious, something needs to be done about this… and soon!

New Server… Again

Finally after many years of waiting Kimsufi (Part of OVH) have finally removed their damn £50 setup fee, so I decided to grab the chance and get myself a Dedicated Server with these guys, I have been a customer before and was impressed last time, below I have outlined the server I currently have with them, it is no means powerful but it does the job and will do for at least 500 websites (the max I would personally put on this server).

Server Specs

  • Processor – Intel Celeron/Atom 1.20Ghz+ (64Bit)
  • Memory – 2GB
  • Disk Space – 1TB
  • FTP Backup – 100GB
  • Network – 100mbps / Unlimited Bandwidth
  • 1 Fixed IP (With 1 Failover added on)
  • Running – Cent OS 5.6 32Bit
  • Control Panel – Webmin & Kloxo
All this for only £13.99 per month, plus £1.00 for the failover IP, I can already see the speed improvements over the VPS i had, status.terrabithost.co.uk has been updated to reflect the new server.

Latest project set to go live next week!

My latest project that I have been working on is set to go live next week!

It’s just in the bug testing and tweaking phase, then once it’s past that it will be on the interwebs for all to see!

I will post a link next week so it can be seen!

***coughapparentlyimnotskilledenoughtobeawebdeveloperscrewwwwyouuuuucough***

There is a lightbox that flies out of the screen, a map that displays in a lightbox, contact form validation, a hand written news page, which i may use in future projects as it is totally changeable (go mee lol), jquery slideshows, cufon text, xhtml strict, css and more all hand written no cms used this time around!

It also validates to the w3 XHTML Strict rules!

And it looks rather snazzy too… i have to say this is the first piece of paid web developent in a good while that i am truely proud of… and thats saying something…

As with all my projects IE6 was used to view the site, and because of IE6 being a pain in the ass like usual it’s not supported… saying that i haven’t supported it for a few years, IE7+, Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Opera all test and all good… they are the only true browsers that matter lol
