Pearls of wisdom. The Squidge Blog.
Oooh, bit of a TV appearance!
It's nice to show off sometimes... ;)
Some of you may know that Andy has a hidden talent, he's been working as a session drummer in South Wales since he was about 15! He was the first ever drummer to perform in the Wales Millenium Centre (before it was even open to the public!) and he's performed at countless events throughout the world alongside some big names including Katherine Jenkins, Max Boyce and the Proclaimers!
But this time we have a picture...
In his latest session, Andy was on S4C's afternoon chat show "Wedi 3" on Friday with a Welsh folk band called Adran D. Alright, it's not exactly Wembley but it's nice to get your face on the Tele every now and again!

Missing cat... & other amusing design emails!
Ceri (one of the Squidge Media crack development A-team) loves funny animal pictures, especially emu's - we're not sure why. Anyway, he's been waiting for a chance to get an animal picture on the blog for years... and now I've beaten him to it! Sorry Ceri.
A friend posted this on Facebook today with the quote "I'm crying with laughter, my sides hurt" . Although I'm sure it's not quite cutting edge, it did make me laugh. A lot. So here it is: the comedic missing cat story.
It's not the only one out there, check out the most amusing email conversation ever! Luckily we love our clients, thank you for not being like these guys!

Chrome speed test
We've been using Chrome quite alot recently here at Squidge, and one of the main reasons is the speed of it. Firefox is excellent at many tasks but does slow down when you have multiple add-ons (which in themselves are very useful) installed. Although Chrome still has many glitches due to its lightweight nature, such as inconsistencies with embedded flash, it is quick and nimble which is probably priority no.1 for a web browser.
This great viral does very well in promoting Chromes best asset...

Up there, where the air is clear
This fantastic animation demonstrates the flightpaths during and after the dust had settled following the no-fly restrictions after the Eyjafjallajökull eruption.
As commented on CR blog:
Airspace Rebooted by ITO World is, according to ITO's Vimeo page, a "visualisation of the northern European airspace returning to use after being closed due to volcanic ash. Due to varying ash density across Europe, the first flights can be seen in some areas on the 18th and by the 20th everywhere is open. The flight data is courtesy of flightradar24.com and covers a large fraction of Europe. There are a few gaps (most noticeably France) and no coverage over the Atlantic, but the picture is still clear."

The Monster Mash
We have two new inhabitants in the Squidge office, please give a warm welcome to Brian and Lloyd. Brian and Lloyd are both monsters, who hail from the planet Bikebox and arrived in the office last friday on a beautiful summers day (in April). Although the new guys are a bit one-dimensional in terms of their skills as web designers, we hope that they will provide a motivational role, especially when those deadlines and late nights roll in...

Apres Ski
Bonjour!
Squidge was lucky enough to take some time out this year to hit the French slopes. One team hit La Clusaz and the other spent an extended weekend in Morzine. Fantastic views, great slopes, no broken legs and a mix of beautiful sunshine and terrifying thick fog, and not a computer in sight made for an excellent break all round. We have returned with fresh faces, a renewed energy and a pipe dream to move Squidge to the Alps and make skiing a lunchtime activity...

Hello World, I'm brand new...
Here it is, the brand spanking new Squidge Media website! Isn't it lovely?
Its been a while coming. You know those weeds you need to pull out of the garden path, but keep putting it off? Or the cluttered garden shed that really needs emptying and a lick of varnish - one of those things you know you need to do, but there never seems to be time? Thats how we felt about the Squidge Site.
However, we finally had a break in projects and lept on the opportunity to get the new site out. Let us know what you think by dropping us a line on the contact page.
