Cake Friday – Flapjack

Posted Friday 31st July 2009 by Harry

cake-fridayFridays 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!

Release 0.2 available

Posted Thursday 30th July 2009 by Jonathon

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

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.
