Generally that problem is that they don’t have a website, but sometimes it’s that they don’t have a website and don’t have any budget either…Solving both of those problems at the the same time is my job.
I’m all for keeping costs down and what a great way to defend the use of templates [...]
This is a topic I absolutely can’t keep to myself any longer. You’re a web designer and you rock the socks off client work and even stuff for friends and family. But when it comes to designing something for yourself, for example, your freelance businesses website, you go completely blank. It’s as if creative block [...]
Software developers often have to wear multiple hats in the midst of time constraints, small teams and lack of support manpower. So it’s no secret that software developers naturally aren’t very good at providing support to users. As one who has been on both sides of the fence, it only makes to describe what users [...]

Needless to say, I am posting this from my Blackberry 8300 and [...]
Tonight I moved my “office” from the basement of my home to the dining room upstairs where my wife’s computer desk also resides. I’m finding it more important to be closer to “action” of my home. But the open door for distractions is ever so greater as I’m now pitted against a television, people coming [...]
It’s essentially a small hobby project I like to work on in my free time (hence Kindmange). My Weekend App was an excuse to really sit down and learn the finer aspects of Ruby and Rails. In past job and project experiences, my knowledge of Ruby and Rails only went as far as my design [...]
