I was hired by Northstar Hosting to do a layout and flash intro for Atlas Construction Inc. They had a fun logo, and wanted a fun flash intro, so this is what I made for them.
I should mention this was never quite finished… I wasn’t happy with the texture layer, and the whole thing needed to be streamlined a bit to not lose frames on slow-midrange computers. Unfortunately, although the client claimed to love what I’d done here, he eventually decided to go another direction… so unless I’m entirely unhappy with whatever that direction ends up being I’ll post it here when I finish.
For the greater part of a year I’ve been building a website. I hadn’t written a line of PHP and certainly had never worked in MySQL when my friend Riley Salant-Pearce ran his idea for a take-out menu website by me. I thought it was a good idea, and although there were already several existing take-out menu databases we felt like we could build a good one. The idea grew and grew, and thanks to some beginning PHP/MySQL tips from my sister Anna, we’ve finally arrived at the Takeout Scout Beta site. So here it is, the first link to Takeout Scout, a service we are hoping will eventually be a fixture of the digital age.
Welcome to the new John Pezzetti.com.
I’ve decided to put some work into this website, and start updating the blog more often with interesting topics. The design is still under construction, but you can get a feel for what I’m going for here.
If you have any comments, please shoot me an email!
I can happily report that someone has tried to scam me. It’s actually pretty entertaining. Here are copies of the two emails I received from “her”. Australia’s education system really needs to focus more on grammar!
