Stu Talk

It’s time to refresh the site. This current theme has been pretty much this way since conception, with a few alterations and mods along the way.

Back when I just blogged on Dev Dawn, I went through numerous theme changes. Which was fun.

Just this week I booked into the Revolution. Actually, the Revolution 2, Brian Gardner’s brainchild. So now I’ve got a bunch of very cool themes to work with.

I’m not a designer. That’s pretty obvious to any thing with an eye and a brain to interpret the signals transmitted :) So what I like about a package like found in the Revolution 2 offering is that there’s enough diversity in the content to allow me to have choice, AND it’s wordpress, so I know it’s infinitely (for my L-plate skills) moddable.

Another perk, I’m hoping, of the re-design is that it will somehow grant me the ability to write less posts, but more .. potent. We’ll see.

Maybe not less posts, as less pretty much describes the flow of content here lately.

Why do you love your job?

 

What is your job?

 

Although kitchy and lame, I love my job because my job is life. I’m not going to limit myself to “work” from nine till five. That’s not good enough. My job is every part of my life, regardless of responsibility or method or madness :).

 

How is your job?

I think I really get Google App Engine. Not so much in a technical fashion (although it’s pretty simple on the surface), but in a _global_ sense.

Earlier this evening I watched the first video of their revealing of Google App Engine. As I watched, a couple of thoughts started popping into my head.

They coalesced into the video above.

So watch what I would have said if I were Google.

I’m still having trouble with the whole video process. Tonight the sound just wouldn’t sync. I had to try a number of configs before getting it right. I even uploaded to Viddler a whole file before I watched it and it wasn’t right.

Here’s to getting quicker at doing these things.
