Redesign… HO!
Well I finally got done with the RegEx Library basics, and suddenly I’ve decided that the XSSI Library needs the same treatment. So I’m reimplementing the site, (only 20 or so pages) in the new setup. I designed some great stuff for the RegEx Library (I’m particularly proud of the background images and how they work together) and now I want to do the same thing for the XSSI site.
I’ve got to get a life. But really I want these to be good pieces of reference material that other people can look into. I’ll start more actively advertising and registering these site. Hell I’ll even put a link to them on my front page soon.
I’m finding way too many sites to read each day. The worst part is that each of the sites I read are simply collections of articles at even further sites to read. I must have spent a good hour reading articles in one fell swoop this morning, and then another hour throughout the day reading further.
This break from work has been strange for me. I seem to be doing nothing except working on web sites and reading. Oh sure I went to a number of interviews and did a bunch of work at OMSI, but I’ve been glued to this stupid thing, when I have the freedom to go out and do anything.
Of course, a lack of money may contribute to the situation.
This whole not having money thing is really getting to me. I mean we’re going to be okay. It looks like the new job’s first paycheck will come soon enough, but in essence, Amy and I have lived on about $1100 since the middle of November. I guess we’ve done really well. I picked up a few bucks in the last few weeks and Amy’s been doing a great job juggling expenses and bills.
But I still feel trapped. I don’t want to go out, I don’t even want to drive the car much because I’ll have to then buy more gas.
I’m sure glad we’ve got really cheap access to the net. That’s about my only lifesaver at this point.
Ah. (Duh)
You have just witnessed my first online ‘duh’. Consider yourself honored. 🙂
Freelance meeting tomorrow, lunch with Amy, and meeting up with Stacey to setup the – workshop assisting at OMSI on Friday; then an Apple seminar on Thursday. Good week coming up. And The Apple ad during the SuperBowl will be directly after the kickoff. It’s a bug, Dave…
