No drowning

Absence makes the heart grow fonder. I think I’ve also written (or possibly read) that absinthe does similar things. The world works in mysterious ways, and there are great patterns everywhere.

Many of you would have seen the absence of posting on my behalf as another pattern re-establishing itself. You’d be right, but for the wrong reason. I did not write for the last few days because I was away in the mountains having a much-deserved break. So the pattern there is no internet or mobile signal = no posting, rather than writer is lazy = no posting.

While I was away, I thought many, many deep thoughts. Most of them were about killing all the myriad of ideas that I had for my online presence. So this is what I did when I got home. I killed a lot of half started projects.

I think a good project should run itself. If you don’t have the energy to complete something, then it’s probably not worth doing. Just like if a job is worth doing, it’s worth hiring a professional; this is not an option here, and I have no idea why I wrote it down. I think I may be slowly loosing my mind.

I have started on the great web redesign project with a great technology re-org at home. To assist in this I produced a crazy diagram to try to figure out what connects where, and how things should work. I got bored after a while, and now I realise I didn’t include the DS or PSP.



It’s very pretty. I like Visio, it gives me an enormous sense of wellbeing.

How does this link into any other work I’m doing? Well, it does have some vague relevance on what the front page will look like. Oh yes. Content: yes, graphic designer: no.
