So in the past month I've had a hectic period where I've been too busy to think, and then a slightly calmer time when I managed to finish off this website! The initial scope anyway, there's always going to be a list of tweaks and improvements. I need to add an "all" and a "close" button to the portfolio page, find/take and stylise a picture of myself for the about page, ajax up the tips on the landing page, add some css3 to the mouseovers there, typography on the blog area, yada yada yada.
Something that's really helped me stay enthused is walking up and down the Thames listening to podcasts about the web like the Big Web Show, which has been surprisingly exhilarating. It sounds dubious but seriously: sun + awesome scenery + three mile walk + mini web seminar in my head = amazing. It leaves me energised and relaxed but at the same time filled with the post-conference ambitious tension that keeps me thinking about the web. With that sort of daily injection of buzz it'll easy to keep the webdev side of things ticking over with nips and tucks moving forward, in spite of this site moving out of focus a bit now.
That's needed though; the next couple of weeks are going to be very busy with the Glastonbury Festival and London Pride on consecutive weekends, so I think this is a good place to draw a line under it. Also my PC is grinding to a halt, and in the dirge of smartphone and ipad info I'm hopelessly out of touch with PC tech; research needed towards getting a shiny new one. The other big thing is I need to look into finding a place to live come September: I like the idea of moving east, from Wapping to Bethnal Green to Bow, but beyond that I've no idea. For the first time in forever I'll need to move in with all-new people too! Scary!
