Tuesday May 12th
Today felt rather unproductive, I think I have finally managed to get the jQuery/javascript validation for the flight search engine sorted. I have, however, just realised that it requires some additional code to be added to the Single flight details page. i shall have to work on that tomorrow.
Aside from that I spent the day doing not a whole lot other than adding new deals to the website.

Today I ironed out a few bugs in some of my code in the Thriftway Travel Site, primarily within the search engine on the home page. I also adapted the look of the categories to look a bit better and put identifying images into each category's single post designs.
Aside from this I got to watch Will deal with the most absurd series of events I have ever seen a designer have to deal with. Poor guy.

Friday May 1st
I spent yesterday working on a few minor alterations to flyers I had produced this week, to get them ready for print. Got feedback on the flyer I did for the Continental Airlines Promotion that will be run throughout the month of may. I also put together an eflyer to be sent out to the companies that Thriftway Travel deal with to inform them that we won't be open on May Day. These can be seen here (Continental Airlines Promotion) and here (May Day Eflyer) respectively.
I would have had this posted up yesterday, but I came home to a slew of Computer related problems that I finally got worked through earlier today. Next week won't have much by the way of Placement Blog Posts, as it is coursework crunch time combined with the May Day Public Holiday. Who knows, maybe I'll manage to squeeze something into one of the other sections of the site.
Edit: Just remembered that I also managed to get the Flights and Category sections completed for the Thriftway website, and I have put together concept images for a few extra tweaks that can be made to bring the rest of the page together with this new look.

Wednesday April 29th
Today I finished off the flyers I was working on yesterday, and made a few tweaks to ones that were almost finished. The Continental Flyer looks really nice, at least to me, and I will be able to post up on Friday what the Regional Retail Manager from Continental Airlines thought of it. I'll be looking forward to hear what they had to say about it.
I also had the luxury of helping Will with various PHP woes that he seemed to be having. It's almost ironic that many of the problems are things that I myself have encountered (repeatedly) in various forms. Fingers crossed he learns from them better than I seem to. Or that, at the very least, he keeps a list of handy snippits of code that can be used repeatedly like I've made myself do. Nothing is more frustrating in a piece of code hundreds of lines long than looking for a single ', " or ; that you have left out. It's something of a blessing that you get line numbers in error codes most of the time.
In college again tomorrow so I'll be updating this section on Friday. Hopefully I'll get some more work done to my site tomorrow and maybe post something up in another section of the site.

Tuesday April 28th
Was off sick yesterday, so I had some catching up to do.
Spent today working on flyers. Last week I got the FareTeam flyer ready for print. Today saw me producing a modified version for emailing. After this I had another project dumped on my lap. I've to design a flyer advertising "Continental Airlines" and a special promotion that we have with them. It has to be finished by Thursday which will mean I have to get it finished for the end of work tomorrow. This wouldn't be too bad, but for the fact that I can't find any suitable photos that I can make use of.
In dealing with this I've turned to vector art as the basis of the flyer. I got a rough layout of the design put in place, but I've already had an idea as to how to improve things, which I shall be looking into tomorrow first thing. Fingers crossed it'll be finished in time.
