My good friend Leevi Graham is returning from a 12 month trip around the world this month, and the first thing he wants to do is dive back into the web industry head-first.
So he’s decided to start a Newcastle web industry meet-up and has given it the title of “Bits & Pixels“.
From our discussions so far it’s nothing more than a social get-together at this stage - so no real agenda. We’ll probably have name badges and do a round of introductions, but beyond that, it’s just an excuse to enjoy the brilliant vibe and staff at the Grand Hotel (and to talk web of course). Oh, and the beer.
So if you’re a web designer or developer and you’re in the Newcastle area, please come along - we’d love to meet you all. I for one have worked in the industry in Newcastle for several years, and have very few local contacts - we seem to be a somewhat isolated and guarded bunch. Not any more!
For more info, check out the listing on Upcoming.org here: http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/197097/.
If you’re interested please sign up to Upcoming and register your interest, and do spread the word to anyone you know who may be interested in attending.
Leevi and I look forward to meeting all of you!

I’ve been using this handy CSS image replacement technique for a while now, so I thought I’d share it. It’s nothing revolutionary, as similar approaches have been documented by others, but the way I do it makes it a no-brainer - and I need all of the available brain-power I can get.

After winning the recent Performancing for Firefox Banner competition, several of my fellow contestants asked me to put together a Photoshop tutorial. I happily agreed — so here goes my first attempt at demonstrating some of the techniques I utilised to create my banner.
