Big Fat Website and moving to Melbourne
I finally found a few free moments to chisel and solder my web site into existence. It’s basically a showcase of my tee work, with a splash of portfolio work thrown in.
Goodies to come:
Completion of stage 1: more examples in the Hire Me/portfolio section. A few little paranoid tweaks here and there. And, importantly, improve the SEO.
Stage 2: fully integrate the Blog (at the moment it just sends folk off to my old blog). Thinking this might be a good opportunity to get into Ruby on Rails. Although I haven’t had any professional experience with it as yet, I’ve looked under its bonnet and looks like it might purr like a well-tuned Chevy if I treated it right. Plus, several Ruby addicted friends say that they want to marry it and have its children. With a recommendation like that, you can imagine that I’m looking forward to getting to know it better – at least date it a few times and see where it goes from there. Either that, or use Wordpress.
Stage 3: I will turn it into a fully fledged online shopping site.
Slightly off the topic …. I’m moving to Melbourne in 5 weeks – yay … umm, does anyone know of employers who need a robot-drawing, coffee-swilling, eager-beaver like me? The job I was going over for has not materialised:( However, I decided to still go and dip my toe in Melbourne waters to see if it’s warm and inviting, or bone-curlingly cold and non-receptive to small town folk like me.
Hope to see you Melbourne bubblers soon:)

Hands down one of the best home pages (and other pages) I have seen recently. Very schpicko…
Good luck in Melbourne, from what I’ve seen, don’t think you’ll have too much trouble getting hired.

thankyou so much. it’s kinda weird announcing to the world that i have a personal web site. it’s like giving birth to a little digital baby and hoping that no-one finds it ugly and doesn’t want to play with it, or invite it to parties and stuff. so your kind words have made me glow all over:)
