Vamoose! – Another month has gone and I’m still struggling to get the g-spot out on time… This time though, I decided to wait until a week later to post it up as there’s more to talk about, so I’m really on time! It maybe an excuse, a convenient outcome to a typically struggling task – but not to worry because it’s now done!
You’ll also be happy to know that this months G-Spot has no ramble about dead fish – rest in peace Tets,.. or strange folk talking about offensive swimwear – No,… because, although we’ve had one death in the fish tank – (very cannibalistic attack) we’ve got too much to tell!
This month saw us kick off with the Pharmaxis website development. Pharmaxis is a pharmacutical research and development company with offices in both Syndey and Canberra. I’d say that by the time the next G-Spot is due, it’ll all be finished. So stay tuned for the launch of this one.
James Hardie required a portal page for their homepage to be developed for their two core departments websites, the building products website and their FRC Pipes website. We were required to design & develop the page, whilst ensuring that the colours and layout of the page complemented each of the websites. Let’s hope that this is the start of a long relationship with James Hardie!
smartbuy was another project that kicked off this month – and launched on 7/04/03. Again we were burdened with a tight deadline (I’m starting to think we’re just suckers..) but luckily we pulled it off! Everyone at the smartbuy team are a great group of people to work with, so getting the job done was painless. smartbuy is a whole-of-government electronic marketplace developed for buyers and suppliers by the NSW government. This is just the start of the smartbuy government initiative, so be prepared to hear lots about it in the future!
What else has been happening,.. The Kemp Strang Lawyers website is about to kick off. They’re after a content management solution to manage their people profiles and numerous newsletters and publications. They have recently joined a national group called the ‘Kennedy Strang Legal Group’ and require their new website to reflect their new corporate identity.
We’ve been working hard with our partner Straker on some exciting CMS prospects, hopefully we’ll have some information to pass on in the next few months… the Vodafone – My Bill section of website went live last week. I’d love to tell you how easy and cool and everything like that it is – but I’m still yet to have a look in it’s live environment! Maybe you Vodafone people can tell me???
Some very exciting news for the Grudenites out there – we have a new Business Development Manager on board now!! Yeaaaah! After great pain in selecting the right candidate, Jean Paul Lena will be taking on the challenging role. Everyone at Gruden wishes Jean Paul the best, but with his previous experience and skills, he shouldn’t need it! Nothing like a bit of pressure is there Jean Paul??
Hahaaa,… ohhhh it’s getting late….. anyway I hate to say this, but last week I was boasting about the fact that Supagas would be finished by now….. and it would have been except, they just keep adding more and more to it! So unfortunately – you’re going to have to wait until next month’s G-Spot again! but then – is there really a Supagas project?? or something that I’ve made up to appear as if we actually do work in here??? hhhmmmmm something to think about kiddies…..
Anyway boys and girls, we’re already well into 2003 and looking good so far… If the sale of my 49er is any indication – I’m going to have even less of a life as the months continue on…
One last thing before I go – keep your eye out for James Trusler – the SMS king! He should be starting out on his world record attempt this month – go james, go james, go – go – go james.. (for all those who don’t know how to read that, it’s my Ricky Lake take off)
Till next months nail biting edition of the spotty G…. Adios!
