38 hours and no sleep make me happy boy

Tags: Blog, business, gem, photography

Well I certainly had a very productive and interesting weekend just passed. Gemma ended up going out to Tara for the bi-annual Camel Races (work trip - not by choice!) on the weekend leaving me to defend the fort. But instead I ended up going to the office for most of the day… night… then morning - infact I didn’t sleep at all that night.

Night time is the bomb

Ever since I was young night was always my favourite time and not always just because it was dark but because I always became more alert once the sun sets. Once the clock then starts ticking past 10pm I begin to really awaken and this is the main reason I end up going to bed quite late sometimes.

Somehow I managed to have some time off

Oh that’s right, through all the busy-ness I have been going though of late me and Gem took some time off to have a holiday on the long weekend just passed. We stayed at the Oaks Seaforth at the Sunshine Coast and had a great break together and also celebrated our four year anniversary! And of course I took some happy snaps of our break as well.

The pen is mightier the sword

And that is why I bought another Parker pen, this time for at the office rather then in the car for whenever out at a client’s business. I absolutely loved the model I had in the car (Insignia for those curious) and would highly advise it for anyone looking for a good quality pen. It has a great feel in your hand (I prefer the slim type) and writes just perfectly!

Update: Damnit! The pen writes in blue, oh well thankfully Ill just buy a black refill

It’s just been one of those weeks

Been a bit slow on any updates but to be honest I haven’t been up to too much over the past week other then working. Be doing some late days (till around 7pm) as we’ve been working pretty hard on getting the last of the backlog of these sites we have to complete at work.

One very busy week for one busy boy

Damn this week has just been so busy for me. I have been amazingly getting up at 7am every morning to go to work early just to get all of this excess load we have out of the way. The main thing I have been working in the past few days is our new Shopping Cart system that we have designed from the ground up after getting annoyed with other solutions out there. Screenshot included for those curious.

A weekend with a difference

Last weekend was certainly a bit different to the normal watching of Heroes at night (infact we just now have caught up with where America is at - Episode 18), Gemma’s sister Jess had her formal on so Gem spent the night there whilst I got out and took some of my first night photos with the new camera.

Seems like im a sucky designer

Tonight I was going through the junk mail box in my work email account and came across and email from some yahoo email address that I thought was just a little bit too weird and not spam as it was a little bit direct to me, not selling anything and from a .com.au address. Heres what it said…

Time to catchup

Well this is my first post since coming back and boy do I have some things to talk about. Firstly, I have actually been really re-considering re-doing my blog, yes I know I only just recently did it and haven’t completely finished yet but I really feel like just something again a bit more simple and stop trying to show off and make it a fixed width design again. By the way I swear Angus James didn’t make me think about it!

A lot of changes in the business of late

Tags: business, computer, music, staff, website

Things have been growing well beyond our expectations in the business in the past month, well of course we anticipated it to all go well but not this early. Brent’s major contract has now turned fulltime and I have enough work to keep me busy until March just about. So all of this work and the continuation of it has convinced us that its time to hire. That’s right we are now getting ourselves our first employee, its a big step up for the business and one that I always couldn’t wait to take.
