Monkeyoff.me Development

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010

Rosslyn Digital (RD) are pleased to announce the launch date of 26th April 2010 for monkeyoff.me. We’re currently optimising the code on the development server and are positive about the scope and outlook of the project. We’ve yet to properly tell you what the aim of Monkey is (and what we did) but we’ll be sure to insert as much info into your brain over the coming weeks.

Monkey Countdown!

For added emphasis on the app, we’ve added a little handy countdown timer to the Rosslyn Digital footer. Be amazed as the timer counts down until the impending monkey-ness!

Any New Blog Posts?

We’ve got a few posts on the horizon from different team members. I’m currently working on a blog post about utilising gettext catalogs (and PoEdit) and the processes involved managing translation files; Greg will be writing up his viewpoint and experience of the Twitter Streaming API; Jonathan will keep plugging away with his blog posts on a more marketing level.

What’s the schedule for the Rosslyn applications?

Sunday, February 14th, 2010

As you can see at the bottom of our site we currently have 5 applications listed. Here’s a vague scope for the applications, as well as the schedule for development.

  1. White Label Points
    This will be our flagship application. A points based incentive platform for Predicted closed beta release is late 2010.
  2. Monkey Off
    A fun little mini app that utilises Twitter (yes another one :) ). The application will act a problem solver for the community whilst utilising different platforms with a fun, intuitive interface. The monkey himself is currently stock but we’re getting Brian THE illustrator to produce an uber monkey shortly. Basic launch March 2010.
  3. Toolbar Heroes
    A simple “everyday tools” site and set of plugins. The tools will have the function for calculations, translations and randomness. From there you’ll be able to export the data into the required format and structure ready for the integration with your system/data. Basic launch May 2010.
  4. Gig Reflex
    The progression of a site developed a couple of years ago. We scrapped the initial version as we needed a rethink. The rethink brought lots of ideas to the table. We’re keeping these to our chest right now and being even more vague :)
  5. Gamer’s Pledge
    A charity application that integrates with gaming sites and charity systems to bring a more positive message to gaming, as well as a more structured method of fun. Anyone who has experienced Xbox Live will understand how it’s full of very unlikeable people (or how I call them: cretins), and finding a good community makes it the experience it should be. Development and networking will be started in August/September.

We’ve even surprised ourselves for how vague these descriptions are. We’ll keep you posted on the blog with updates for each application. Monkey and WhiteLP being the priority.

Here’s a few points to consider when planning your next web site.
Your web site maybe creating the ‘first impression’ of your business.
Think about it, would you answer the phone ‘no, go away!’? Exactly!
Would you put up a neon sign next to the M1 saying ‘its easier to get a quote from our competitors who are [...]
