100 Days : Day One (100)

Mid last year I heard about the idea of the 100 days project.

In a nutshell, you pick some form of creative pursuit — no matter how simple or complex — and commit to performing that action every day for 100 days.

I put the idea to some co workers. One person out of a few interested people actually completed it.

I failed in that challenge.

So I decided that I’m going to start again with an alternate take on Jeremy Keith’s 100 words for 100 days. My plan is to write 100 words the first day, 99 on the second, 98 the third etc.

This is the first.

New Website design for 2016

I have finally launched the redesign for my personal website.

There’s nothing much different in the layout — it was more about the back-end structure than trying to come up with a fancy new front-end design.

Overall I’m happy with it. Now I just need to add back in the little extras I added before, such as posting via SMS form my phone, and queuing the jobs up into background tasks. But as it is now, it seems to me to be a much better experience from the front end.

I started to find my previous version hard to look at and hard to read. Hopefully the same wont happen with this one.
