Love this. Remember my first commercial project was overhearing my peers at an animal shelter not being sure how to display photos on the reception TV and easily update them, whilst also having a ticker tape at the bottom. Cue me learning PHP to develop a Content Management System that allows them to update a webpage, displayed on the TVs native browser!

Yes, that feeling is awesome. Is your CMS still alive?

It is indeed! I get the occasional email with requests to update a font or a colour but now they seem to be incredibly self-sufficient with it. Sometimes I'll check the link of the web page and see what animals are currently in the shelter. :)
