Blimmin eck! - I've been busy over the past few months!!
After burning many gallons of midnight oil, I've finally added some more stuff to the website, which include:
Cheeky! Radio
The test server is now up and running until the brand new shoutcast server comes into effect, I'm currently working on a weekly playlist that will ensure that the station broadcasts 24/7 - so you all get your required fix of classics!!
Portfolio
My photography section is now being updated, with all my new ideas and panoramic shots.
Halifax Guide
I've now started on my exclusive guide which features EVERY Halifax venue on the main circuit in greater detail, this included links to all of their sites and features hi-resolution photographs of what they all look like!
Website Portfolio
I'm now updating my previous sites, so potential clients can see examples of my previous work.
Coming Soon:
New stuff to appear on the site will include my tutorial section for all you wannabe producers, musicians and designers alike, so watch this space!
Well, I'm glad it's over for another week, I'm off back to bed!!
Night' y'all

How Much Work Does It Take To Get On Air!!!
I can't believe I've dedicated an entire day to getting this damn radio server up and running!! - Seriously, it's driving me nuts!
Anyway, I'm sure with a bit more thought and some help from a couple of technically minded people, between us, we'll get there..
In the meantime, instead of letting my own feeble mind go into meltdown, I think I'll spend the rest of the afternoon working out the schedule for my new station.
I'm also sure that once the station is up and running, all this hard work will really be worth it, as I plan to make quite an effort to make sure that the content is just the right stuff that you guys (the Cheeky! regulars) get what you want!!
Wish me luck eh? - failing that, I'll just chuck myself in the canal again.
Speak soon y'all

Brasserie Website receives 10K hits within 2 weeks!
I was in a bit of a shock this morning when upon viewing my inbox, I was greeted with the shocking news that one of my web clients websites had hit over 10,000 unique views in 2 weeks of this month!
This is great new for me as it's a great calling card for my website design services, the only problem is, that I now have to dig into the server and start optimizing pics and stuff so the bandwidth does'nt put the server into meltdown!
See the site for yourself here:

A Few Website Updates!
Welcome to the new DK website! - I hope you like it, it's taken me long enough to get the damn thing up and running.
As you can imagine, due to the size of the site, there will be a few errors here and there, but I'm still working on it as we speak, or as they say in the industry 'The paints still drying so we cant put the pictures up yet'
Anyway, a few things are being added to the site, they are here already, but I havent made them live yet cause' they're not quite ready, these are;
1: The Mix CDs Section
Some mixes are up, I just have to add their own pages which will hold the CD inlays and track lists, so you know what you're downloading.
2: Halifax Clubbing Archive
This is a huge part of the site and there's a few more additions and pictures to include, plus the interactive guide, which will definetly take a while.
3: Tutorials
This section is also being put together, and it'll take a while before it's all proofed etc.
4: Portfolio
This section is more for my prospective clients, it's basically missing some of my more recent work - which is being resized for the site
5: Cheeky! Radio
The server's up but there's no input to it yet (I'm still having the machine built!) - please be patient!!
Apart from that, and the odd minor details, the site should be 100% within a couple of weeks

Is Halifax Finally Catching Up With The Rest Of The World?...
Blimmin' eck! - we're into February already and for a change there's actually something happening in Halifax!
For a starter, there's 2 new venues up and running on our drinking circuit, and the music is not your stereotypical pop/rnb/electro bandwagon policy, hurray!!
Another major plus for Halifax is that both venues are independently owned - which means a couple of things:
1: More flexibility for the music range (no stupid music policies for DJ and customers to worry about)
2: More nights!! - something Halifax has been missing for a while - I know there's a couple already (Lush/Biscuitbar11 etc.) but now there's more than half a dozen in Halifax on a regular basis every month.
Now all this is going on, we should start seeing more people from out of town visiting us again, which means no more fierce competition between the venues fighting over our locals, bars can start tightening up their admission policies and we can get rid of the last remaining troublemakers.
Either way, I reckon we'll all benefit from this outcome.
These bars also fill in that horrible 'no mans land' in the centre of town where no-one dare walk, so hopefully town will be a lot safer.
If everything keeps running the way it is at the moment, we should hopefully have a cracking summer!
I'm looking forward to it already.
