thekush.co.uk now up-and-running

in band, launch, music, social media, The kush, website

I was lucky enough a while ago to run into a band who go by the name of "The Kush". I went to one of their gigs and liked what I heard. After speaking to them, it turned out they were after a new website as they ramp up the promotional focus on themselves. I said I'd love to work with them in doing this, and as a result we started to put together a plan for how we could promote them on the web and help to build a community following for them.

The future of the internet...global peace or world war 3?

in developer, future, internet, professional, web, website

One subject that fascinates me (and probably me alone I suspect, being a huge geek) is the direction the internet is going in.

I find it amazing that this thing, entity, whatever you want to call it has grown from a small network of relatively simple computers which were born out of a wish to share information between scientists. Facebook alone now states that its users create more than 25 Billion pieces of content each month, and that's just facebook, imagine what that figure is for all sites globally.

After a long wait, markhankins.co.uk is back online.

My name is Mark Hankins, I'm a 20-something web developer from the North-East of England and I love building stuff for the inter-webs. It's what I do for a living, and I'm proud of it.

I specifically enjoy coding in PHP, mySQL, xHTML, CSS and jQuery. I am a firm believer in open-source technologies and use them wherever I can. I work a lot with both the Joomla (1.0 & 1.5 flavours) and Drupal as well as having experience building web applications and sites from scratch.
