Crazy Times

Well, it’s been awhile… Things have gotten a little overwhelming lately. After the ski trip, BN came down with a pretty bad cold, and I was getting busier and busier with my freelance projects. Then, I came down with the pretty bad cold, but I still had to work. So I dragged the futon over to the desk, like when we do when we watch movies, and scootched the monitor over to the edge of the desk so I could see it from my slouching position on the couch. And the keyboard on the lap. And I designed a decent user interface for the client, in spite of the headcold. I think we need to get a laptop… not that I like to work when I’m sick. But I think it would come in handy on many other occasions.

I have decided that I’m never doing any web development ever again. I got in way over my head, with help from my new “client” – I’ve been subcontracting for one of my graphic design classmates from SJSU. That’s been going really well, but there’s a teeny bit of the “operator” factor, because I talk to her and she talks to the clients. So I got 2-degrees-too-far-in to the “delivering stylesheet and code” thing, which I have done before, but not really for a fairly complex web application. Point taken, lesson learned!

So, I have a lot of stuff to post. Some from before Christmas, even… I’m going to post quite a bit of catch-up stuff in the next few days. So scroll on down and check out what I’ve been up to, or what I was up to before my work life spilled over into my real life (the boundaries aren’t very well defined since I work at home…)
