New Website Launches

I’ve been working on this redesign for a long time. It’s actu­ally been redesigned three times, and of course it isn’t 100% ready to launch, but I’m quite sure it never will be, and it was about time I updated my stag­nating website.

Lots of stuff is new. Everything’s been restruc­tured and rebuilt using Ruby on Rails. There’s a resources sec­tion that’s pretty wiki-like up. There are RSS feeds of the news and the pro­jects. There’s more con­tent every­where. And reason why I’ve been so quiet the last little while?

…plus a ton­sil­lec­tomy, and com­puter woes like you wouldn’t believe, and learning a new pro­gram­ming language.

Say hello to Marigold, who’ll be working with me from now on. Marigold will be taking over some pro­ject man­age­ment duties so that I can become more of a hermit.

Say goodbye to Dinah, who dis­ap­peared in November and prob­ably isn’t coming back.

New pro­jects are in the pipeline, and I have offi­cially quit my job in order to go freel­ance full-time. Need some work done? Now’s a great time to ask, while I’m still a little para­noid about that whole not-getting-a-paycheque thing.

I’m excited. Everything is new and I am learning things at such an expo­nen­tial rate. It’s going to be one hell of a ride.

The other was simply and cleanly designed, but stood out by a mile. Now, for me to take notice of my environment is sort of rare, and for me to critique it for style…
