Booze-a-thon
Dear Aussie team,
Is this a web contest or a drinking contest 
The borders are slowly blurring.
Your sincerely,

Trash-talking
We can’t imagine who the CodeBlacks are referring to!
Still, dissing the judges might be a bad tactical move.
Bored!
Well folks, things have taken a turn to the dull-side. Both teams are plugging away so quietly and efficiently there’s really nothing new to report. Russ is pushing me, like the bully he is, to pull out more stories, drum up controversy, stab him in the cheek with a biro, anything to spice things up at this stage. Now, I did witness Fiona colluding with Jeff outside the venue and I did warn them that I was onto whatever it is they were up to. It wouldn’t have been to discuss server issues, or to share a cigarette. No, you and I know that it was something far more sinister than that. Any ideas? Post them here.
Fiona - let’s keep an eye on this darkhorse…

On the suitability of Times New Roman
says Steve, the New Zealand designer, looking at the Australian homepage:
“They surely can’t be using Times New Roman in the logo?”
I’m liking how the CodeBlacks are working. There’s still that air of quiet efficiency. Zef is sitting with the clients, working through the information architecture, explaining the team’s thinking. Steve has mocked up a homepage design, waiting to show the clients. There’s been some discussion on the use of the Grampian’s logo, but it’s clear that the logo needs to stay. So the team is thinking of pushing a new logo for the site that would sit alongside the Grampian’s logo.
Jeffrey has already marked-up a template page. It’ll change as things progress, but it’s got the essentials there. He’s pleased how easy it is to validate at this stage! Peter and Thomas are huddled together by a flipchart, talking over content, discussing what the tone of the site needs to be.
There’s a long way to go, but this looks to be a good basis.
