This entry has been floating in my head for days. A little bit of a check list, a little bit a collection of things I have to do or say repeatedly over the course of my days. A few things I want to impress on self and others. I am after all a control freak. As well as being a little bit of a developer and a little bit of a designer (I want to think). I was in reality writing a note to self. But here it is on the blog as my ideal work cycle. What I preach and try to practice sort…...
tsuuuuu! Our main (and probably only) RoR developer left the studio for pastures new a couple of weeks ago. While I was/am happy for him the panic the ensued was epic. I have been working on rails sites for a few months now but I knew that everytime I needed help he would be there to answer questions and provide solutions and support to a RoR newb like me. The fear and stress of him going literally had me crying in my sleep and panicking in my wake. How was I to cope when he left, with 6 major…...
I wrote an open letter to my future coworkers a few days ago which might have been a bit harsher that it should. I realise that since thinking about it now, quite a few of the issues I mentioned like sloppy/hacky code, reusing code and assets from other projects and lack of organisation are usually caused from lack of time and the need to speed through development to get a site up and running fast. Looking through my personal basecamp this…...
Another random post of disjointed thoughts, after a long hiatus. But this morning I felt the need to blog a bit before starting my day. So many things are happening lately. Gaming has gone on a low for the last few weeks and my development fever has gone up. I’m having fun with ruby on rails and expression engine, both on a personal and a professional level. My sketchpad and my notepad are bursting with notes and ideas. I’m working on a few things all at the same time and feeling…...

Αν και σήμερα είναι 1 Φεβρουαρίου, για μένα [και τους συναδέλφους μου] είναι ουσιαστικά η αρχή της καινούριας χρονιάς. Ο Γενάρης, και ο Δεκέμβριος πριν απο αυτόν, ήταν για μας πολύ παραγωγικoί αλλά και δύσκολοι, γεμάτοι στρες μήνες. Καταφέραμε όμως να τελειώσουμε 3 site για 3…...
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.
