R.I.P Sparkling Bombs ! [updated]

What a strange way to start a new section on my blog, Web Folio aims to present some significant works I did as a Web Developer.

When the Joker, guitar player in the band, asked me if i was interested, I couldn’t refuse that offer.
It was a great opportunity for me to leave the web marketing jobs and do something refreshing (you really need it sometimes !)
I had “carte blanche” for all the coding and graphics.

As I look back at my wordpress development, the Sparkling Bombs’ website is one the first WP I hacked so hard to make things work together.
Try to imagine working without the menu options, manage tour dates without a plugin and manage a huge amount of photos without nextgen gallery !
To understand that, you have to know that the last line of code is already 6 years old and the WP core is still the 1.5.2 version ( half way from now ! ;) )

Like I said on the frontpage, the band split up after their last show last november and I couldn’t make it to seethem a last time.
Although I received a really cool message from the band who thanked me for my work.
Maybe I will have the chance to tell them directly, but guys if you read this, It’s been a great pleasure to work for you !

See ya around and keep on rockin’

[UPDATE] As I don’t know if the web site will be up in a few months, enjoy these screenshots :
