Busy as a Bee
Two weeks passed since my last post. And I haven’t been traveling, enjoying sports or any type of hedonism. I’ve been busy like a bee with work. Sounds familiar? All too familiar?
I have a strong feeling that this is a period that will pass. That I have to somehow withstand only this one killer year of setting my own business straight and after that everything will be fine and relaxing. I am wondering if that is really true. The work seems to accumulate at an amazing pace.
First of all I have been working with some wonderful people regarding my WordPress services. I’ve been using Skype for communication and everything went really smooth. I really enjoy working with WordPress, and know it’s soul rather well. I use that knowledge to shape it anyway imaginable. WordPress is really powerful. It is the future, I am telling you. I’ve been also doing some corporate work, using WordPress as well. The site is turning out really nicely, with advanced usage of jQuery, Google maps and all the fancy new tech.
I’ve also written a first chapter of the book I started working on recently. It’s technical and you can have few guesses what it will be about. I am not revealing it yet. I enjoy the idea of writing, but my writing environment hasn’t been really a writer’s paradise. Should get better with the summer coming and me relocating to the seaside (chair on terrace with a look to the sea, a glass of wine and a laptop…).
A project I was involved for almost a year came to it’s scheduled release. Today was a D-Day. The project has some major financial implications which made me really nervous. I was involved with larger scale projects before but finances always make me itchy. I like and expect everything always to go by the book, specially when big money is involved. D-Day went fine, no problems at all.
In the meantime I bought a 24″ LCD screen. Paired with my old 19″ I now have a 3100 pixels wide desktop. It really makes a difference. Hard to go back now. The model that I bought is Benq G2400w with a cost of around $300, a real bargain that is. Not a bad monitor, certainly for that kind of money. It is quite usable but when funds permit I will shoot for a pro Samsung, maybe even a 30″ screen. Could use it for playing full HD movies as well. They are still quite expensive but in a year…
Also got my self a proper messenger bag, it finally arrived from the Australia. My ThinkPad fits perfectly inside, it is a pleasure to carry, really comfortable and functional.
