For those of you who read me from your rss come and take a look, I’ve changed the website’ looks again. This might be a little bit weird but I’ve succumbed to the itchy fingers and gave the site its 6 monthly change. I got .net issue 194 yesterday and the intro on Eliot J’s piece on design, rang very true to me. I always am more motivated to post when I’ve changed the site. So I change the site nearly as frequently as I change desktop…...

After a very long time in my old clothes [skin] I decided to change the way this website looks and feels as well as some of the content. This change had been brewing for a while now. Since the beginning of the year I started experimenting with different ideas, but like it always happens when I spend too much time on something, by the time I implemented most of these ideas I was pretty bored with the whole look and feel of the “new site”. Being your own client always sucks, cause you…...

Well it is! After about two months since I move the previous version of the site to the archives I have finally managed to get this one back online. The brand new, shiny, butterfly-ie version of it. Powered by ExpressionEngine core as opposed to Wordpress and much more organised. Jquery to give me nice transparencies in IE and some Ajax-y tabs on the sidebar and equal height columns to balance things out. I’ve dropped the music section…...

The last few weeks I have been trying to finish the rebuilt of this site from the ground up. I’ve been working hard, planning every little detail from the structural stuff, the data modeling, the visuals and starting to put together the database and the css and xhtml for the templates. I find myself however having to overcome many obstacles, with the biggest one being the fact that when I get home from work I’m absolutely mashed and trying to make sense of things is quite often…...

For a few months now I had been planning to redesign this website, visually and structurally. Work and personal commitments set this plan back a few months but I finally made the decision to go ahead. To force me into doing things more organized and to stop me from procrastinating I moved the old site to the archives. You will still be able to find my ramblings from the last 3 years till the 18th of this month and the site as…...
twitter is having some oauth changes, twits will appear again here shortly
Follow me on twitterI have a dream that all my websites will one day exist in a Web where they will not be judged by how they look and behave in each browser, because all browsers will follow the same standards and display them the same.
This is my hope. With this faith in Web Standards and Accessibility for all people and devices we will be able to make a better Web. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of the browsers to a beautiful symphony of design, functionality and content. With this faith we will be able to work better, to play better, to struggle less, knowing that all devices will treat our work equally & with respect.
