Today I handed in my notice at work and at the same time started looking for a new home. The next four weeks are expected to be very hectic as I leave ‘Ull behind and move on to Sheffield and a new job. But that’s a totally different post, for a very different time. Although practically bursting at the seams with excitement and fear in equal measures, I’m looking forward to it like a kid does at christmas. I was going through my twitpic…...
In the mid ’80s my parents decided that it would be a good time for them to move back to Greece, as they could see that both me an my brother were losing our greek identity fast. Our best friends were called Tracey and Bradley respectively, instead of Christina and Nikos and I guess that scared them a bit. So hi ho, hi ho off to Greece we go, with a few stops before our final destination to meet friends and family mom and dad had not seen since they’d moved to Canada. These…...
Over the last few months every time work or life got me a little bit down I would visit the New Adventures in Web Design website and instantly my spirits would pick up. When I booked my early bird ticket in August it seemed like the time for the conference would never come. I’m sure I annoyed a heck of a lot of people that follow me on twitter the last few days with my excited count down to the conference. Now I’m back home after having…...
With winter starting tonight when the clocks go back I decided it was time to get the newest incarnation of this site live! I have been working on this for the last few months and the time has come to share. Partly inspired by the release of ExpressionEngine 2, partly as a place for me to experiment with new stuff like HTML5, CSS3, the whole site was reworked from the ground up. Having attended Web Directions…...
I’m taking longer and longer between posts these days, partly cos I’m working on a new version of this site, but there are times I just have to post! This morning an RFP fell into my hands, from a client wanting a website redesign. A 12 page document with feature requests and wireframes. The document was produced for them by a “consultant” so I did expect a little bit of bullshit talk but I was not prepared for…...
It’s a couple of days since my return to the UK after spending 2.5 weeks in Greece with my family and friends. Today I managed to sort out through the few hundreds of photographs I shot on my phone while I was there and as a result I am feeling very homesick. This feeling only exacerbates the weird mood I’ve been since I’ve come back. While every other return to the UK has been marked by homesickness, this time even my own home doesn’t feel like home. I feel like a stranger…...
