Pole Position for Limerick Racecourse


Juritsu have just launched the new Limerick Racecourse website www.limerickraces.ie to promote the limerick racecourse brand and hopefully attract new visitors to the ground. The managment have already expressed how pleased they were with the easy-to-use CSS based navigation. The Site concept was designed by Denise O' Brien and rendered into XHTML and CSS by Neil McCall (that's me), also with direction from Martin O'Leary I helped put together the content of the site and Flash animation.

On Second Thoughts

Was just thinking back to the dj competition the other night, and then I realise that I was the only dj people actually got up and danced to. Although I didn't win, at least I feel like I achieved something. Surely I deserve some kind of award?

Back To The Drawing Board

So I didn't win the competition last night, there were a lot of good djs there. I was told I came in the top three though so that's not too bad. Guess I'll just have to work harder as a producer until something comes of it.

Face Off 2006 Dj Competition

Last night I was trying to figure out what to play tonight in the Face Off dj competition. There's only 20mins each between 12 djs, so it'll be a tough competition. I'm not expecting to get through to the next round, but you never know! With any luck I'll meet a few people who are into what I'm into or at least meet some other djs to collaborate with on projects. The style I'm playing is electro, at the moment I think of starting off with something like Roman Fugal and ending up with something by Cirez D, but I keep changing my mind.

Underground Elves

Winner of the TM06 (trans mediale) award, Agne Meyer-Brandis has truly bizarre site, "The main aim of the SGM-Iceberg-probe is the investigation of subterranean icebergs located beneath ice-scating-rinks and other hidden worlds." . I just want to know where to to get one of those underground elf detectors. Take a look.

Paddy's day aftermath

Back in work after having celebrated successfully the day of Saint Patrick (Apart from losing my phone) I look over the past weekend and it has been good. On paddy's eve, I ended up going round a few Limerick pubs, saw Sharron playing and singing on her guitar in the Lock, and after a few other pubs, found that my younger brother was not able to keep up with me.

Then on friday flew over to Manchester and got the train to Leeds. Met up with a few friends in a bar then went to an impromtu house party, I had my records on me so went back to back with some other local djs.

Saturday went off to wakefield to dj @ the Kube, Jel Ford played a cool set, then off to bed. Flew back on Sunday and didn't get in till late.

Paddy’s day without me

Hope you all have a good time celebrating paddy’s day. I’ll be out tonight on the town for paddy’s eve, and down to dolans for some house music. Then on Friday I’ll be going over to Leeds to visit a mate of mine, and I'm djing in Wakefield at the Kube on Saturday night alongside Jelford.

Our Machine

If you've been bored of seeing the same old sites over and over again you should checkout http://www.ourmachine.com/ . There's completely insane and imaginative use of flash, humourous and irellavent, create your own pop-up montage in bush world, or give your fingers a rest in ascii aerobics. Bizarre.

Work In Progress

I'm currently working at http://www.juritsu.com/, we do design for web and print. Please let me know what you think of the current site, as we are currently looking into doing a redesign in the next couple of weeks. There'll be a couple of new sites completed this week if you'd like to look at them, which I'll be posting here when they're live.
