Cake Friday – Flapjack
Fridays at Fubra have been especially nice over the past few weeks thanks to Annie McLoughlin and her talented cake making skills.
Each Week she has been bringing in different cakes for the staff to get their teeth into, so we thought we would write a little post now and again to show our appreciation of all these lovely, tasty snacks she presents us with.
Today’s Cake Friday included some very tasty Flapjacks – Thanks Annie!
Designing the new Fubra logo
On July 15th 2009 we launched a complete redesign of Fubra. I will be blogging about this soon, but thought I would do a quick post about the evolution of our Fubra logo. I needed to update our logo without changing it too much so that it wasn’t un recognisable. I am lucky here at Fubra as I am given a free reign to let my creativity flow with such things as designs and logos.
I felt the logo, which had become outdated, needed a good makeover to make it fresher and younger. I have attached a few quick sketches I produced while coming up with the new Fubra logo design. The sketch attached is the one I made my main breakthrough on. I branched off with many ideas, totally recreating the logo in many different shapes and colours. I eventually found our default colours to be most recognisable with Fubra.
Release 0.2 available
Release 0.2 of php-govtalk and the CompaniesHouse extensions have just been made available as packaged downloads from the project’s Google code site. This release wraps up the latest changes (including additional functionality) of the base class, as well as marking a significant point in the development of the CompaniesHouse extension.
Along with this release is a change to the tagged SVN repository. Where as previously extensions had to be bundled with releases of the core library, they are now available separately and may be released individually. As the core library get more mature there will be fewer releases required, and development time will be concentrated on extensions. As this happens the ability to release the extensions more frequently than the core will be required. This change should facilitate that.
We’re looking for interns
The Department for Business, Innovation & Skills today took the wraps off their new online initiative: the Graduate Talent Pool. The idea is simple — provide a single location where graduates (and soon-to-be graduates) can go to look for internships, and a place for companies, looking to beef up their graduate recruitment, to advertise their current intern vacancies. Fubra has got on board with the scheme and is advertising a number of exciting positions.
While all of our positions are unpaid (except for expenses) they offer great experience working within a young, exciting new media company, the chance to expand the student’s portfolio, as well as the possibility of a paid position if we’re impressed during the internship.
