The new www.ORLive.com has launched
Jun 17th
June 1 the company I work for, ORLive, Inc. launched a total site redesign. I played a major role in developing this redesign and to architect the back end. I worked with one other developer and one designer and outsourced about 10-15% of the work to other vendors.
Although the working conditions for this project were not ideal and the time line was shorter than we could have wanted, this was probably one of those projects where, if asked in an interview what my greatest challenge and/or accomplishment was…. this would be it.
Three months total to get a whole new back end in a Content Management System with limited documentation. I am still surprised we did it. Granted it launched minus some key features we intended to make, it was still a success. The design has flaws we are working out. Navigation is a problem. Countless other things need to happen but www.orlive.com is here and it launched June 1 as planned.
Let me know what you think?
Google Wave Is Coming
Jun 14th
If you are looking for the new wave of social networking, watch this video from Google I/O 2009 conference. It shows a sneak peak at the new innovative communication tool. It will be open source and from the looks it can open up a huge role of possibilities. Very cool stuff.
