Dear Comic Sans, I hate you…

I was looking over some documents created by a co-worker for several processes that my group had, as I will need to do them if the need arises this weekend. I started reading the document when I got the sudden urge to repeatedly poke myself in the eye with the nearest pointed object I could find. Thankfully I manged to fend off my left hand, which was equipped with a pen on my desk, long enough check the font on the document. My suspicions were confirmed: Comic Sans. I had to act. I had to act fast.

Espresso, a cool piece of software

MacRabbit's Espresso
While in the midst of my on going site redesign, I decided to to give MacRabbit’s Espresso a try. Currently, I mainly have been using Panic’s Coda at home to do my work, and I still mostly use Dreamweaver CS3 on a PC (ugh…) at work. I have to say, after using Dreamweaver for so long it took me a few days to adjust to using Coda, but I soon fell in love with it. After developing my first site with Coda I became completely hooked on it. When I read that the makers of CSS Edit were making a similar product, I was immediately interested in trying it out. However, as I had just recently switched Coda and was still in the process of really getting to know it well, I decided to wait a bit. Partly because I wasn’t really ready to try out something new yet and partly because it was a brand new product. I figured I’d wait for them to iron out some of the wrinkles before trying it out. Tonight I decided to give it a try, and I’m really liking what I’m seeing.

New Design, Coming to a tgfoo.com near you soon… (I promise)

So, I’ve been lazying about. Well, not entirely, just when it comes to my site. It’s amusing to me, but I can make a pretty good looking (imo) site for a client in a week. Clearly it’d take longer if it had a bunch of features and what not, but I could do it fine. When it comes to doing things for myself, I never have any motivation. Well, I have given myself motivation. And a deadline.

Look at me, I’m naked!

Where’s my (crappy and generic) design at? Well, it’s CSS Naked Day! Thus all of my CSS code will be gone for all of April 9th (two days, since it’s April 9th somewhere in the world…).
