For the past three days I’ve been working pretty hard on balancing a few different clients.  I’m happy to say that a few of my bids were accepted so this month is probably going to be pretty nice – money wise.  I can’t wait to dump all of the money into the bank account so I can visually see my going up to New York at the end of June being a definite possibility.  It’s been difficult though, it’s hard to juggle so many different ideas and attempt to remember which client they’re connected to.  If it weren’t for the…more»

Thanks to Fantastico finally being upgraded on the servers, I’m now using WordPress 2.5.1.  It only took about 10 seconds to upgrade but that’s the beauty of auto-install programs.  With the upgrade came updates for about 20 of the 35+ plugins that this domain uses.  Thankfully everything is automatic there too so what I thought was going to be a daunting task of downloading all of the .ZIPs and then uploading manually – it was actually quite simple and only required the click of a mouse.  That’s always a good thing. I’m in the process of updating my portfolio.  I…more»

With the recent beautiful weather, there was really no question as to when the storm was going to hit. The weather for the last week has gone to at least 10 degrees above the seasonal average so when it was followed by a string of storms I knew that something was going to suffer because of it. I’ve lost Internet three times in the past few days, it was 24-hours before I could get it back at one point and all Comcast had to say about it was “sorry – we can’t control the weather”. Now, I could understand if…more»

I know I’ve been slacking off here, but when you’re bogged down with multiple clients and finally beginning to get somewhere with your business – the blogging aspect of things really doesn’t matter too much.  Well, it’s not that it doesn’t matter but it certainly doesn’t take first priority either.  I do like having an emotional outlet but lately I’ve put that into my private journal.  Which any tech-nerd would despise because it’s hand written.  It’s not based on some funky blog script heh. My new contract position is working out pretty nicely.  It’s given me the ability to expand…more»

I’ve been pretty productive today. I’m now a member of a new design company on a contract basis and based on how things have been going so far, I have to say that I’m feeling pretty confident that my time with this company will be well spent. A previous company that I out-sourced for wound up screwing me out of not only money but valuable time that I could have spent somewhere else. It’s a shame that I had to deal with that for so long but it’s another thing to add to my portfolio because I have to admit…more»

I’m working on getting a lot of my Social Site Widgets up and running.  I’m a member of quite a few different ones, BlogCatalog, MyBlogLog, Twitter, and a few blogrolls that I’ve joined and unfortunately forgot about, so I’ll be adding a new links section to the site as well.  I don’t really like putting really long content onto the sidebar so I’m sure I’ll figure something out.  Right now I’m in the process of merging my blogcatalog account, I didn’t realize that I had acidgloss.net previously listed with another email address.  I went to add it to my new…more»

For the past couple of days I’ve been working on a new template for AGn Designs.  For me it’s finally the ultimate way of getting my portfolio and my blog merged together in a way that hasn’t been done before.  I’ve been meaning to do something like this for quite some time but I’ve been unable to due to a lack of confidence in my coding abilities I guess.  Either way I have everything drawn out and plenty of new features to work into it.  It’s going to take me a little while to finish configuring everything but I have…more»

I’ve been slacking off, I know!

I’ve been working very hard on coming up with the final colors in my ‘dark’ series. So far the green, blue and red themes have been created. I’m having a bit of trouble getting the right shades of orange together in order to complete the series so hopefully I’ll be able to get that taken care of sometime this evening. I should hopefully have these templates up for usage sometime in the next 7 days.

It’s taken me a while but I’ve finally completed the second template for my free WordPress Themes which will be housed here soon. To give you a quick sneak-peak, I’ve pasted a screen shot of it here.
