s1jobs has been named as a finalist in the 2009 Onrec Awards in the category of Best Technical Innovation. The nomination — which is the first ever technical award nomination for s1 – recognises the huge technical advances made with the new site. 

From a UI point of view, we ripped the site up and started again in 2008.  Making use of the latest web techniques such as image sprites, ajax, streaming video recording and drag & drop personalisation, we developed a site which had far more functionality than the old site, while at the same time being a lot faster and more efficient (there are more details on the original launch post here).

We went a wee hill walk/climb today up Dumgoyne, just behind the Glengoyne distillery in the Campsies.   It was a freezing cold day, but the hill was still popular.  It was also a good opportunity to try the Trailguru app on my iPhone. You can see the results here.

There’s also some geo-tagged photos from the trip on the Trailguru website.
