A quick post at the end of a very busy week of work. I am getting my head around SVN and the workings of life as a developer. I’m looking forward to learning more and increasing my skillset. I am reading a book about Accessability “Building Accessible Websites” in the evenings and beginning to pick up some jQuery too. The more you know the better a developer you are. So I’ve been told!
While I listen to the latest podcast from The Big Web Show (a weekly show about different topics related to the web, hosted by Zeldman and Dan Benjamin) I try out a new tool for blogging.
I used to use w.bloggar a very long time ago when I was first getting into the blogging game. That was a long time before WordPress’ in-browser compose post function was usable. Now going back I can see that w.bloggar is still a great way of composing posts, there is no distraction and you actually feel that you are sitting at the type-writer and composing “serious content”.
This morning before work I went for my first run in 6 weeks. And I feel really great for having done it. Twenty minutes and the route was my normal “River Loop”.
What began as a simple entry to life as a developer has quickly descended into a life with ten thousand different strands each taking up all of my time resources and abilities.
I’m a beginner and have not done the vast number of things that they’re asking me to do before. Yes I’ll get quicker when I have mastered how to do it all, but for now I am very stressed.
I thought that I would be playing badminton right now. Instead I am at home typing into my computer. That’s a bad swap and it happened because of a mix-up with my friend Rob (my fault).
Anyway now I am at home and doing some typing. Typing is good for the soul I think, and the more you type the easier it becomes. In my last job I was continually brain deprived (i.e. by monotonous boring brain numbing work) so my ability to type sentences withered and almost died away. That’s why I am trying to write in this blog more. To bring back my brain from the abyss.
