This is the personal portfolio of the web designers Makis Tracend and Maria Papadimitriou, who've been working on personal and commercial web projects for many years and have provided the online community a series of web applications and internet services.

This version of the site to focuses on the content and presents the work with a more personal touch. You can find samples of the work done throughout the years although note that not everything is included.

Some of the work didn't make it to the portfolio, either because it was scrap work (ex. content updates), not worth promoting, we weren't allowed to show it off for some reason or plainly because we forgot to record it...

We hope you enjoy your stay here and find it easy navigating through the pages. In any case, feel free to send in a note with your comments or other web related ideas you might have.

Thanks for visiting.

Feed Anchors: beta release

Most of my time last week went on this new free service called Feed Anchors, a website that converts virtually any RSS feed into a news broadcast. An introductory video follows:

This item requires the latest version of Adobe’s Flash Player.
Please download it from www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer and refresh this page once installation is complete.

There was some basic actionscript involved and a careful planning for the sequence of events, as well as designing the visual elements that accompany the whole presentation of the RSS feed. Yet the website is still in it’s beta phase and a lot could be improved/added.

The project itself is interesting because it’s an original idea no one else has tried (successfully) before, moreover a service that could really push RSS onto something more than plain text in the future. And for me the greatest feature is that it scales gracefully to any screen size, so you can use it even on mobile devices, while on the road.
