So, I guess you’re all wondering where I’ve been of late? I mentioned in my last post about 2007 being a good year – well, it’s certainly started off well! November 5th has grown up!
As I have now been officially welcomed, I’m very pleased to announce that I’m working as interface and application developer for Grow Collective, a Web design co-operative based in Bristol. Thanks for the warm welcome guys!
I’m stoked to be working with Jon, Paul and Charlie. Ever since first bumping into Jon on Accessify Forum, I’ve admired Grow’s work, and now it’s my work too! Mwah, ha, ha!
Working with Grow on projects over the last few months has kept me busy, but I’ve found it inspiring and it’s been a lot of fun. It’s been particularly good because I’ve been able to concentrate on working in areas I am good at and enjoy. It’s great to feel recognised for a skill and to be given the opportunity to develop those areas of my work.

So, it’s been busy lately – and it’s still busy. There’s a blog redesign I’ve contributed to preparing for launch just launched, a stationery company’s redesign in the final stages, and a shiny new Web application on the way – we’ve got lots of exciting things to get cracking on with! And, with some of the load of self-employment lifted by my colleagues at Grow, I’m going to have more time to spend here – aren’t you lucky?!
Several discussions with my new work-buddies have brought light to some interesting ideas and technical tidbits that others may find useful. So, armed with a few ideas floating around on the breeze and a pocketful of draft blog posts, expect to see a bit more natter and a bit less… silence.

Great to be working with you Jon! Now, about being recognised for your skills, mine’s a cider please mate and a packet of dry roast and if you want to do that amazing juggling trick with the bar stools, please feel free.
On an infinitely more somber and sober note, it’s a pleasure to work with you and I’m looking forward to assimilating some of your knowledge in a non Borg kind of fashion. It is indeed going to be a good year!
All the best.
Here’s to a great 2007!
Its good to hear that things are going so well and good to see you posting here again š
Congrats!
Just one more Jon, and the Grow trifecta will be complete. š
Thanks all.
Jon, I’ll bring you back some cider from the gig on Thursday!
Lorna, I hope that things are going well for you in your new job and that you’re settling in.
Chris, good things may come in threes, but we’re only looking for another ‘Jon’ to make life even more confusing when in conference calls with clients!
So what is happing with your Fireworks Supplier Company; will you be now extinguishing that one?
Robert – I will still be practising my ‘explosive’ Web design skills as November 5th, but my main work will be as part of the Grow Collective.
Congratulations Jon.
Congrats to Jon and Grow!
Congratulations Jon, all the best for your new job.
A bit late on this one, but congrats Jon, I’m sure you guys are going to have a blast!
All my best wishes to you and the collective.
