This weekend was a good change in weather which presented an opportunity to catch up with Heath for a bit of a cruise and photo shoot. With the recent purchase of my Nikon D700 it was good to get out and take some shots and thanks to Heath I actually learnt a thing or two!
I was introduced to some very windy roads down the back of Heath’s place which provided some hair-raising entertainment. Within 2 minutes of setting off from his place I managed to lose slight traction through a roundabout which frightened the crap out of my passenger but as expected, the Evo showed just how good it is when things start to get scary… it pulled itself out of mischief and rapidly caught up to the speedy GTI in front! The next half hour saw me playing cat behind a little black mouse with ease!
We soon arrived at the Fremantle port area to take some photos before we lost daylight. Heath was busy taking some ‘action’ shots when 2 WA Police paddy wagons pulled into the carpark and parked smack bang in the middle. Intimidation much?
Proudly presenting Centro Perth Short Stay. I completed the site this week after a long delay due to work commitments and the clients are very happy. When time permits an automated booking feature will be implemented along with a real time booking schedule for potential customers to see when the place is available.
After a 27 hour stint working non-stop, I finally finished version 1.0 of the new mobile membership system for work this morning. In a nut shell, it allows our membership team and recruitment group to access details on our members while out on the road, completely optimised for the iPhone.
We had originally considered developing this system in Cocoa as an iPhone application, but found we would have greater success leaving it web based as we are expanding our internal systems over the next 12 months and would be forced to make continual application updates around any changes.
So what’s next? A meeting was held with our new Vodafone business manager this morning and we promptly ordered 15 brand spanking new iPhones! These units will be custom configured and staff will be assigned their ‘own’ handset. Not only does it make the staff more efficient out on the road which directly benefits our members but the staff see it as a definate perk.
