Hello Camden. I’m Andy the Mancunian Digital Freelancer.

// June 8th, 2009 // 1 Comment » // Design, General

After what seems like years and years I’ve finally completed my move to Camden. I’ve been here since Saturday and so far, I’m very enjoying it very much, despite a few little traumas.

Most notable is the distinct lack of furniture in this house, meaning I’m currently experiencing an unintentional extreme minimalist existence, with just two large bean bags being my only options for work and rest. Working on a bean bag all day is not an experience I recommend in case you were considering it. The only other ‘furniture’ is a stereo and a TV (I’ve got my priorities straight as you can see). I’m just hoping that’s not where the parallels with Steve Jobs’ late 20’s end; I’d quite like some of his entrepreneurial success too.

Hopefully I’ll not be without a desk for much longer, and the addition of a sofa and somewhere to sit and eat will be most welcome later this week.

Since my last post all those weeks ago, I’ve been working on an exciting new venture which I’ll go in to greater detail on in the upcoming weeks. I’m also now working on a few freelance projects here in my new home town which are shaping up quite well. Somehow I managed to continue functioning during my own little internet ‘prohibition’.

I’m looking forward to making the most of all that Camden has to offer, especially the pubs and places to eat. Even as a born and bred Mancunian, I’m very excited about living in Camden, so far it seems like a great place. Fellow Mancunians might liken it to a giant Northern Quarter, with large parts of it being a giant Affleck’s Palace. It’s creative, diverse, vibrant and in the right places warm and welcoming.

Now I’m back to full strength again I’ll endeavour to post more often again. Afterall, I’m sure you’ve missed my wittering this past few weeks.

iPhone Application Development and Google

// May 13th, 2009 // No Comments » // Design

First of all, I’d just like to give a warm hello to the swathes of new visitors to my little corner of the web visiting via Google searches for “iphone app development london”. I wasn’t targeting such a good Google result for that at the moment, but seeing as its there now I thought I’d say something about it. (PS I’m also available for SEO work ;) )

The most pertinent point is yes, I do offer iPhone app development services on either contract or freelance terms. I work on a case by case basis with iPhone app development rather than my usual hourly rate as app dev projects tend to be less predictable when it comes to intensive development time. Seemingly simple things can end up swallowing days of tinkering and experiments without actually being able to justify my high (but valuable) hourly rate and some of the most difficult processes often end up being a sync! So, if you are looking for an iphone app developer in either Manchester, London or anywhere in the UK for anything from simple apps to games or blue-chip business applications then get in touch.

I should also mention I do not work alone on iPhone app projects, my good friend and genius-code-wizard Ric Morton works alongside me.

To my regular readers who have been missing my musings recently, I apologise for the lack of recent content, I’ve been ridiculously busy moving house and suffering from the previously mentioned connection issues. I’ll also add to that an apology for making my first “back in action” post a shameless self-promotional piece. To make up for that; I promise both a new exciting post from myself asap and also a guest post from the aforementioned Ric Morton on the fun, frolics and frustrations of making and selling an iPhone app.
