dev|sushi opens today

I just made my new site dev|sushi live today. There is not much there yet, just an introductory post explaining what that site is going to be all about. The short story is that all technical content will be written to that blog while this one will be only about me and personal stuff going on in my life. When I decided to redesign this site my first thought was about the many conversations I’ve had with friends that had no idea what I was talking about during a particularly long boring technical post. It just made sense to separate that stuff into its own site with its own audience.

My web programming/design skills have greatly improved over the last year (mostly the former) and I am somewhat proud of the look and feel of dev|sushi, however it has a long way to go to get to what I am envisioning for it.

In the last month I have been extremely busy both at work and at home. I have taken on several web projects and am fighting my way through them. The thing about being busy is that it doesn’t leave much time to do fun and interesting things. I haven’t been out to train for Parkour in around a month and the only exercise I have been getting is an occasional swim in the local pool. Unfortunately that has come to an end too! The university pool is under construction and is closed but during the spring term but we have been able to use our Watcards to get into the Waterloo Swimplex which has been great. Earlier this week Sara and I went to go but were turned away. I was like WTF! (pardon my msn slang) Apparently since the spring term ended on August 11th anybody kicking around campus is out of luck until the students return in September. le sigh.

Before this week I hadn’t played a computer video game for around a year. I was too busy to even think about installing anything but I finally broke down and installed Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (GTA:SA). OMG! I love it already. I’m getting soooo good at cycling its crazy. :o)
