WDL’s Wordle

admin — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 09:31:45 +0000

Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends.

Using the rss feed from the blog our wordle (after some tinkering) looks like this.

you can make your own wordle and you dont need a website feed to make one, you can enter in your own text, you can visit wordle here, this would look great on a shirt…

We’ve Been Playing Rock Band

It’s the end of the week, it’s Friday and it’s 4 o’clock. What do you need? A bit of down time! All work and no play makes web designers very dull boys indeed. So we’ve always had a policy of playing games for the last hour of the week, and now we have Rock Band we have a whole lot of fun!!

Me and Elliot both have Guitar Hero at home but add in drums and a microphone and you have a lot of noise, a lot of laughs and a fair amount of micky taking!

The only downside is the massive database design on the wall behind the TV. It serves as a good reminder of all the work we have to get back to on Monday morning!

Rock On !
