Scarily, we're now only a week away from the end of my placement with Hogtronix. This time next week, I'll be clearing my desk before my last day! (clearing my desk mostly involving getting rid of my thousand scraps of paper I've used for making notes on)
We're hectic trying to get as much done before I go as possible! That is, until, we took the afternoon off to go and watch the England football team win yesterday. At least they won and didn't dissappoint.
This week, the Tunbridge Wells office has been joined by another Kent Student! Sinead is also studying Multimedia Technology and Design but can also speak spanish, which has been really helpful for Hogtronix as large part of our client list are from Spain!
The sun has been shining, and the UK office has been really hot! It's a strange thought that not so long ago, I would be writng a post about how I'm unable to get in due to snow! Its shows how much of an interesting and varied year Ive had!

Sun, Football and Fast UK Hosting!
I think..I just summarised most of my time since my last post!
The world cup is now underway, (with a pretty poor start from the England team), the sun has been out and we've been working hard!
We've recently added our brand new Hogtronix website to our Fast UK Hosting service! Its been an interesting process and has helped my server knowledge a lot. Understanding how a variety of different servers work is important to anyone on the web industry, so you know what can work best for you.
Various other projects have been pushed on quite far. A large website project we completed recently also had a standalone SEO project conducted to aid its new launch and direction.(this project won't ever be forgotten for me due to its size, and wide range of different technologies used)
Lets hope on my next blog post...I can write about an England football team win (perhaps a little too optimistic)

John's Legacy
Realising that my time with Hogtronix is fast running out, we're hectic getting loads of projects pushed on!
Last week saw the launch of the new Hogtronix website, with a funky new retro look! Needless to say, we're all pretty chuffed with it, and it's been a great way for me to learn a bit more jQuery and css trickery. It's something that I'm really pleased to have been part of, and a bit of work that I can look back on (with pride) during my next year back at uni.
We've got a healthy list of projects lined up for the next few weeks, all hopefully to be launched before I leave, so we're set for a busy month.
Not long until the world cup...too many of those silly car flags about already though!

The World Cup is nearly here!
Thats right, its now June and the World Cup is right at our doorstep. I've been busy keeping various world cup themed marketing efforts on the go including HTML newsletter and a competition.
June holds a certain strange feel to it, as its my last full month with Hogtronix. Preparations for University are underway, choosing modules for the new term (Managers and Organisations was my choice). Most exciting, and I do realise how geeky it sounds, is the arrival of a new computer for the next year. I figured I should double up my skills learned in the past 11 months, and apply them with brute force with a new bit of kit.
Other than playing with a new mac, and ongoing weekly work, I'm still plodding away at a Hogtronix project soon to be launched which we have all invested some quality time into. Something I'm proud to be part of, and glad that I can look back at it whilst Im at University knowing I made my little imprint on it. (its going to be so strange to be 'looking back' at my last year)
