It's the little bits that count
Welcome to gbish, the personal portal and online presence for Graham Bishop, I am a freelance designer, developer and consultant based in Dublin, Ireland. This site contains my portfolio and active projects as well as a collection of tips and snippets of code.

myBlog 
the ramblings of the mind
I think its time to give it something new.
Saturday, 7th February 11:47
Yes my poor neglected site blog. I really wish i had the time to continually update it with various long drawn out rants and rambellings of my mind .. but I really dont. Plans for keeping this updated really fell at the first hurdle. I think its more to do with me just not being the kind of person to blog, I really just dont know what is worth putting up. I know what Im doing now is probably what I should be doing but, I really dont have the time or energy to be putting big posts like this up, probably a good reason why I have drawn myself to twitter so much. Its short, its quick .. an I can do it from my phone or other various applications making it a hundred times easier to update than this old site of mine.
Which really does bring me onto the next question, my various large plans for this site really fell apart. I work 5 days a week, I try to relax and enjoy myself on weekends if I am not trying to keep ontop of my news/design/codeing or playing the odd game. Is it time to maybe put together a newer, smaller site? Something that relies more on pullin gin my regular twitter updated and maybe an easier showcase of my design work? I think yes is the clear and obvious answer.. and so in the coming days weeks months lets face it, knowing me it will probably be a year ;) try and at least come up with some sort of new design, smaller and easier that i can just keep track of things and at least just use this as more of a place for me to go. Less of my fancy plans, make it more realistic...

lanparty.ie - website
The Lanparty.ie website is designed to be the home of LAN Party's for Ireland. The site design is simplistic and uses a combination of gradients and curves to give it a unique image and feel. The site design I created was implemented onto a 3rd party web application and launched June 2007.
weBits
little bits from around the web
- Zenhabits.net have 10 benefits of getting up early which are very interesting and make me want to change my sleeping pattern for one :)
- We all procrastinate, but here are four great reasons as to why we do.
- Double Viking decide to point out that real men love The Rocketeer. For me, this movie is a childhood classic, I love it, and also have the DvD.
- Here is a little picture of a flying school in the US which really doesnt make me want to take flying lessons there.
- The "LampLamp" is a $28 (USD) bulb that fits into your existing socket, its design however is going to catch more than just second glances.
