Jul27Twenty20 Cricket Finals Day!
My first cricket match was certainly worth waiting for! Thanks to the Cedar Group for inviting me to watch the game from their rather comfortable suite at the Rose Bowl, Southampton. Not only did i get to watch the match from the best seats in the house, we also had the surprise of a live interview with Shaun Udal after Lunch.

Regular blog readers will remember that I was lucky enough to get to meet Tim Ferriss a few months back. Tim is the author of the best-selling book ‘The 4-hour work week‘ that has recently been ‘officially’ published in the UK. His book and website cover the value of time management, outsourcing and ‘escaping the 9 – 5′.
It’s an excellent book and a must read, and meeting him really adds to the whole understanding. He’s a great guy.

Hey. Have you heard of Twitter?
Twitter is a *massive* microblogging service that let’s you post updates of 140 characters from web, SMS or IM. There are loads of creative uses of Twitter (a plant that tweets when it needs watering !) and here’s a new one.

We are very pleased to say, that after a long period of consultation and development (working with a partner design agency) our work on the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA, a government agency website) is now live at www.mcga.gov.uk.
OC Vision worked within the boundaries of Government standards to develop the XHTML and CSS, allowing the in-house web team to plug the delivered templates into their own Content Management System.
OC Vision were challenged with designs, not typical for a Gov agency, that needed to be compliant to the latest website standards.
Our customers are often sailing, and racing on the seas covered by the MCA, so it’s nice to see our work delivering to an often undervalued emergency service.
