Colors and logo was developed by a designer, the site was created and developed by me.

Have a look at the site here.

Just finished a new site for the institute that I work for at the University of Santiago de Compostela, IDEGA. They wanted simple, and that is what we did. I think it turned out pretty nice.

The newly completed website for the research group “Econ Natura” at the University of Santiago de Compostela.

After the upgrade of the forum to phpbb3 and the Wiki, I have decided to spin off the photo album that I had in the forum to a new site, www.pilgrim-photo.com .

The goal is to create a site with photos from the various camino and the various sites along the camino. …and that makes me the owner of yet another pilgrim related website.

The Wiki

Last night I upgraded the Pilgrim Wiki to the latest release. Had some spam problems the last few days that forced the upgrade. Not sure what is best, open the forum up for everyone to edit (without registration) or “closing it down” to try to avoid spam. By far the easiest for legit users would be to not have to register… but for now I have it “locked down”. leave a comment below if you have an opinion on this.

 The Forum

The phpbb 3 RC was released a few weeks ago. I have it installed in a sub directory on the Santiago Today site, waiting for the Album mod to be released. Once we have that the switch should not be too difficult. Some of the new features of this new version of the forum are:

• Possibility to attach documents to forum posts.
• Chat: Chat LIVE with other pilgrims

I hope to make the switch to this new version soon.

I will be developing a new website for the Deputacion de La Coruña, here in Galicia. It will not be a redesign of their main site, but a new site for a new project that they are involved in. Most likely linked from their main site.

Will post link here once site is completed.

Yesterday I got approved a pilot project that, if all goes well, can be really interesting. Turgalicia will fund the development of this pilot.

What is it? Think iPod, history professor at the University of Santiago de Compostela and me (web development). Can’t say more at this time.

This is a homegrown idea that I truly believe in and hope will be successful.

I am currently involved in a project with “Instituto Enerxético de Galicia” (INEGA) related to organize large amounts of data and create new reports that will be useful for them in the future. Still early on, but looks very interesting.

Currently working on a new website for “Grupo de Investigación Socio-Territorial (GIS-T). This is a research group at the University of Santiago de Compostela.

We have decided on using Wordpress as a platform.

The site is now ready, as of today the client only need to add content to it.

I am involved in this interesting project that consists of trying to create a partership between Norwegian and Galician/Spanish companies and the public sectors in each region. Possible parters are BTV and Neria.

The idea is that this cooperation will develop several (3-5) harbors on the Galicia coast (Costa da Morte). This is the region around Finisterre.

Still early on, but if this project flies it will be a very interesting one.
