Cal’s Queensland Government design launches
Last year I worked full time for the Queensland Government, as part of the Smart Service Queensland team, where I was contracted to redevelop the main Queensland Government website qld.gov.au. Initially contracted for a short three month stint, this quickly blew out to a six month, then a nine month contract, as the site was a mess.

New Oxygen Kiosk layout
This year is a year of big changes for me. At the end of 2007, many different threads of my life seemed to come to an end, leaving me at the beginning of this year with a lot less baggage. Because of this, I have relocated to Sydney to open another branch of the Oxygen Kiosk.
This means that from my sunny desk in the eastern suburbs I will be working hard to expand the business down here. It also means that I will have a lot more time to spend with our existing clients, developing new solutions for them.
And, to celebrate the new year, we have a brand new website design for you. Same colours, different ideas. Please, send the link to your friends!
So, an exciting year for everyone. Bring on 2008!

O2KPTYLTDFTW
We’ve registered as a company today. Along with my aquisition (finally) of oxygenkiosk.com, we are now officially Oxygen Kiosk PTY LTD. Yes, we’ve dropped the the. We hope that that won’t confuse you.
Unhappily, after the painless process of registering the company, we’ve been let down by the ATO’s ABN application process:
The service standard as outlined in the Taxpayer Charter for the issue of an ABN is 28 days.
10 minutes to get the ACN and business registration, then a month to get an ABN? A month in which we can’t get a bank account?
Good work ATO, loving your service standard and Taxpayer Charter.

Create Digital Motion Launch
Sister site to CreateDigitalMusic - CreateDigitalMotion has been pre-released today.
We will have a couple of days public testing before the release announcement next Monday. CDMusic has enjoyed plenty of praise since its’ OxygenKiosk powered redesign, attracting new readers, new advertisers and plenty of good will around the net. We’re sure CDMotion will be similarly successful.

Design Tinkering
This round of design changes is almost at a close. It’s amazing how a design can evolve when two people and changing requirements effect the production.
We are very happy with the look and feel of this new design - I think the two columns have enough of a visual distinction that the content areas of the site are seperated without looking silly. I will be adding the RSS feeds and so forth over time.

O2k Blog launch
Well..
I think we’ll be filling in some previous months with content from our own sites, but right now the redesign is progressing nicely and we’d prefer to work on code than content, so the words will need to wait.
In the meantime: I’ve been writing for CreateDigitalMusic for a couple of weeks. We’re launching Create Digital Motion soon, but in the meantime here are some recent posts:
Scratching Visuals: the VJ Arms Race
For Those Dark Club Environments: DIY LED Light
