My Blue Heaven

In brief

Life is super hectic. I’m a contractor now. Not at Adgistics anymore as of end of August. Took a short trip to Europe before starting my first contracting job here at AKQA. It’s a pretty cool workplace, and people seem to work really hard. The technology they produce (websites etc) is very cool, at the forefront of web development etc etc.

The project I’m working on has a very tight deadline for next Friday, hence I’ve been working like a dog since starting here on Monday. It’s now 8:45pm and I’m still at work. I started this morning at about 8:45am. Damn its been 12 hours. I had lunch at 5:30pm. The past 2 days I’ve worked about 9-10 hour days. It’s hard work but I don’t really notice – I think I actually enjoy the work I’m doing here. I’m creating front end web pages given psd designs. Doing lots and lots of CSS. My CSS file is at 229 lines currently. :\ And the html has to be “Level 1 DDA Compliant” with everything pixel perfect on Windows Internet Explorer 6.0+ & Mozilla Firefox and Mac 1.0+ Safari 1.0 and Firefox 1.0. If you know what that means. Hm maybe I should do the same for this site. It probably has hundreds of html and css errors all over the shop. Maybe I should do a redesign… if I ever get time. Hah. Unlikely at this stage. Anyway you can actually see my work in progress here. Its working close to perfectly on every browser except Safari. Grr.

Ack. Ok feeling pretty braindead right now. Just thought I’d blog a short entry before going home coz I noticed I hadn’t updated in over a week. Outta here!
