Assorted

12 August 2005

As you may or may not have gathered, I am currently a bit busy*. Of course, the first thing to give is this blog and to be honest I imagine it’s going to be a few weeks before it calms down a bit, so it’ll probably stay a bit sparse on here until then.

The main reason behind the busyness is that I have finally got a full time job :-) I’m working doing web stuff (html/css + content publishing, site updating etc) for a major record label (although I’m not going to say where, blog smart and all that…), which is pretty darn cool really, me being both a web geek and a music buff!

Also, I’ve discovered one of the benefits for working for a record label: Free booze gig tickets! This week I got to go to a lovely picnic in Regents Park, London where Devendra Banhart played a few songs in the sunshine:


Of course, finally getting a job has coupled in nicely with getting more and more freelance work (it never rains etc…), which seems to be really getting going now:

  • Further to my work on themes for Sandvox – Karelia’s new web development app – I’ve been voted on the Sandvox website as having both the best and the second best themes out of the ones being shown off at the moment. I’m pretty darn pleased, to be honest – it’s always nice to be told you’re good at something :-) Also, out of all the themes I’ve done for Sandvox, those 2 are probably my least favorites, so you ‘aint seen nothing yet!
  • I’ve also been doing some stuff for Lee Wilkins – I designed the front page and tweeked the template being used for the other pages. Go check out his podcasts!
  • More stuff I can’t talk about right now…

Hopefully soon I’ll be able to post a bit more…

*This is a gross understatement
