BootstrASP – Our first open source project

Trippnology logoWe are very excited to announce our first open source project that we’re calling BootstrASP. It’s a simple framework for building websites with ASP and twitter’s Bootstrap with some added CSS3 candy thrown in for good measure!

You’ll find all the info on the project’s github page. If you spot something wrong, you have an idea for a new feature or you have a better way of doing something, please submit a pull request and we’ll review your code. It’s an ever evolving project and new features are being regularly added.

BootstrASP is licensed under CC BY-SA 2.0 which means you are free to copy, distribute, hack, slice, make derivatives and even to make commercial use of it provided that you both credit Trippnology and release your work under an identical license. We’re big fans of open source software (and hardware for that matter) so we’re really pleased to be giving a tiny something back to the community.

Headspace Accountancy

Headspace Accountancy screenshotAfter our SEO success on The Limecrete Company site, Louisa Yallop approached us to build her a website for her new business; Headspace Accountancy.

Headspace Accountancy specialises in offering small business accounting, farm accounting and construction accounting. They take care of the red tape leaving you free to concentrate on running your business. Hand it over to the professionals and give yourself some headspace!

We’ve built the site to look good on all devices, from small smartphones to tablets to large desktops. It will function correctly in almost all browsers (yes, even IE6!) but for the best experience, visit the site with a modern browser like Firefox or Chrome as we have included some progressive enhancement. This is also the first site we have built with our custom framework which we will be releasing as an open source project on Github in the near future.

If your website needs a makeover for mobile, a spruce up for SEO or you’re looking to get your first site designed, contact Trippnology today.

Weather Links

weatherAs a population, we British love talking about the weather. We love moaning that it’s too hot, too cold, too windy, too wet, it seems we’re never satisfied! We’ve put together a selection of links that keep you up to date with what Mother Nature is throwing at us.

Wunderground – Weather Underground is committed to delivering the most reliable, accurate weather information possible. In short, they’re weather geeks (this is a good thing). The nearest station providing Attleborough weather is located in Morley at Wymondham College.

Met Office – World leading weather services for the public, business, and government.

Meteox – Up to the minute radar images that are great for tracking rainfall. They also provide a great mobile weather page.

Sat24 – Similar to Meteox but with visible satellite images.

Blitzortung – Shows lightning strikes in the last 120 minutes.

UK Wind Map – Shows wind speed and direction.

WeatherSpark – Nice looking site but it can be a bit overwhelming. Try the Attleborough weather page.

Meteorologica – A variety of weather images and data that you can either refer to or copy the images onto your own web site.
