Today
That site design I was working on? Yeah, I scrapped it. Not the backend, which I’m still very pleased with, but the design itself - it just wore thin before I finished it. I’m seeing if it can be saved by redoing certain elements and altering the colors a little bit, but the longer I work in web development the more it becomes clear to me that I am not a graphic designer and don’t particularly want to be. I can tell good from bad, sure, but that doesn’t mean I can do it. At least not without a great deal of futzing and frustration.
It’s been a year already since I graduated from NYU. I find this a little disturbing, mainly because it’s more evidence of how rapidly time is speeding up - it feels like it’s only been a couple of months since I turned in my cap and gown. I still want to go to grad school, but it seems unlikely to happen for at least a few years, if only because it’s so fucking expensive (both in the sense that I would be in school and that I would not be working).
Oh, before I forget: I’ve got a floor ticket to the Monday NIN show that I’d like to trade for a mezz ticket. I won’t be around this weekend, but if that trade is amenable to you, drop me a line and maybe we can meet up at the venue.
Obligatory Warcraft update that will interest almost no one: I’ve been running Dire Maul lately with my hunter and have picked up Backwood Helm and Ogre Forged Hauberk, as well as the hunter version of the Royal Seal of Eldre’Thalas. I still need to get Leggings of Destruction (best item name ever) and Tarnished Elven Ring. Honestly, that place is loot heaven, at least for hunters. I’m not sure why it’s so hard to find a group - maybe everyone else got their fill while I was avoiding the game, but surely there are people hitting 60 all the time who want to go. That +crit mail armor is arguably as good as or better than the comparable Beaststalker set pieces, except perhaps for the belt (Warpwood Binding).
