Welcome to Kennel 17

Kennel 17 was opened by Mark Clements in January 2004 in order to promote the various projects that he is involved in, and provide some sort of framework to his jumbled life.

It didn't work, but it helped.

Services

Maldaba Ltd.

Maldaba Ltd.

Maldaba is my primary business. We are a web development company specialising in bespoke applications, and take a collaborative approach to design. We're specialise in humanising the experience of both desigining and using our software, and are experts at collaborating with non-technical people. Maldaba had its 10th birthday in 2012!
HappyDog Enterprises

HappyDog Enterprises

HappyDog Enterprises has been running since 1999. Although it was originally my primary business (as a sole-trader), most of the work that it used to undertake is now handled by Maldaba. Hapydog Enterprises continues to exist to allow me to provide web design, desktop solutions, multimedia content, data management tools and expert advice on a smaller, less-formal basis in situations where the job is too small to warrant the administrative overhead of going through Maldaba.

Projects

niCe mUm

niCe mUm

niCe mUm are comedy double act Kris Dyer and Dave Marks. For their live shows, I act as director, composer and lighting/sound designer and operator - with occasional dodgy walk-on roles! I also designed and manage their website. Most recently Kris and Dave have been concentrating on their writing work, but I still get involved whenever there's any music required, or a live show to put on.
MediaWiki

MediaWiki

MediaWiki is the software that powers many wiki-based sites, the most prominent being Wikipedia. I have been involved in the project since 2003, and have contributed code, written a number of useful extensions and was largely responsible for the design and structure of MediaWiki.org.

Hobbies

Why not have a listen to what mister badman has been up to?
He has too much time on his hands.
niCe mUm

Twin Tub

The ultimate remix band. A Tribe Called Quest mixed with Steptoe & Son? No problem! Cuban Portishead? Easy! Enya does Cliff Richard? Erm... we'll get back to you on that one.

(Note: Twin Tub does not currently have a website)

Old Projects

Slow Panic

Slow Panic

Slow Panic ran from 2006 to 2009. Apparently our sound was somewhere between the Pixies and Portishead, though even I'm not sure what that sounds like!
Blink Twice

Studio Blink Twice

This comic studio was run by the Robin and Lawrence Etherington, now operating as The Etherington Brothers. My role in the operation was 'Do IT' - Director of Interactive Technology, which included the various websites and other multimedia work.
E-Bru

E-Bru

E-Bru were "an exciting three-piece who effortlessly blend live/sequenced beats, catchy riffs and bittersweet vocals to create an infectious soundscape". Apparently.
