What a lovely day for mountain biking into work. My route takes me from Ditchling to work here in Brighton and although I ride year in year out, come rain or shine, days like today when warm and sunny are a real treat to be out on the Downs. Even when a mother sheep and its two lovely lambs succeed in helping me to lowside whilst trying to avoid them! They crossed my path running in front of me so many times I lost count. Until I braked so hard and lost the back on the wet grass! Anyway they were all cool and off they went, laughing I'm sure. I always slow down - just not enough this time!

Anyway, what's been cooking at NotOnlyButAlso so far this month. Apart from some of the interesting stuff we can't talk about right now, and a little tech update to the Five News website, we have been busy for those lovely people at Monterosa Productions coming up with some hot design stuff including BBC Bitesize and more importantly Big Wildlife Garden [BETA], which is a Natural England campaign that encourages people to help propagate the country's rich wildlife by making our gardens more hospitable. It is really intersting as it aims to create a giant virtual nature reserve which engages gardeners, families and schools, helping them to manage and maintain their gardens while picking up tips from others.

We've also been busy producing the Information Architecture [wire frames to you and me!] and logo for the new Sightsavers fundraising website we are producing which is looking like it is going to be feature packed and rewarding to use.

We produced some offline work this month including signage and an exhibition stand for Financial Risk Management experts J.C. Rathbone Associates which was a nice change to web work. We also put to bed the latest set of updates to our e-commerce website produced a while ago now for IconLive French Connection IconLiveFC.

Finally for our client EdComs April saw us helping them deliver their Carbon Footprint Calculator for BP developed in Flash. We produced the interactive school carbon calculator and gallery. The carbon calculator teaches students about carbon emissions and their impacts, choices for carbon reduction and alternative energy supplies. It sits alongside other important quick-fire activities, factsheets, energy animations, a picture gallery and flexible teachers’ notes.

So, as we move towards May let's hope the good weather continues and crashes caused by speeding sheep stop!
