So I finished that big project a while ago, but I have been swamped with other things. I have three major clients in the city, all working in the same office, but divided up into separate companies. The big project was for one of them, but the other two have keeping me busy since September. On top of being an independent contractor for them, I also have other clients, including one from last year who I went to Tech Crunch Disrupt to represent, a Local site, working on a site for a friend’s client, and a client in England. To say the least, I am very busy. I am basically working seven days a week, trying to get as much done as I can. I have another big project that I am undertaking at the moment and I should be finishing it up soon, it shouldn’t be too difficult, just minor cosmetic things at this stage since all the development is basically done.
This Friday I head off for vacation though, Kris has the whole day off so we are heading out really early. It’s going to be the first time in a few months I take a weekend off, let alone a three day weekend, so hopefully I can be well rested during it.
In other news, I bought a new laptop and iPod. I would have posted pictures, maybe next post, since I didn’t take any yet. On top of the new laptop and iPod, our room is kind of more of a mess than usual since we bought an armoire that is bigger than the dresser we used to have and we are trying to sort everything still. My favorite new toy is my laptop, naturally. My iPod is a pain because I need to convert a lot of my music from Flac to be able to be used on it. My laptop is a beast, 6 gigs of RAM and the Beats Audio. It just sucks that the most I have used it is for work when I am in the city. I am thinking about booting up some Halo 2 on it though, I do miss that game and I imagine that the laptop could handle it well, plus I am curious to see how many people play it on PC.
Yes I know I am behind on comments and I haven’t updated my site in a while. Well actually that isn’t true, you will notice that I have added a jquery featured slider to the home page, and on some of the pages I have been trying to add in some better meta tags for SEO purposes, as well as other things to improve the SEO of the site. So far I have seen a bit of an improvement, but I just did a few sections and it improved, once I can get the rest of the site optimized, I imagine I will have a lot more traffic.

Your lappy sounds nice. 😛
Have fun on your vacation. 🙂
For the bigger hosting, I’m only going to offer it as 1) an upgrade for those already being hosted, 2) an invite-only thing (meaning the need the password from an invite from someone already hosted OR from the newsletter, and/or 3) as a seasonal thing. None of those things will be open until June 1, though. ^^
You have to make them think your hosting is better. Quantity is not always better than quality, and it will take some time – a long time – to get it up and running.
Oh, I’m not editing that one. I’ll screw it up. I did edit Georgina’s “Sky” theme, though. That’s what 6birds has right now.
Actually, I’m rarely told what to do. She’s just … changed… Because of Tommy. >.<
It is really sad to think about but the truth is that you could die at any given second! I would hope that I didn’t die anytime soon because I couldn’t bear the thought of leaving my site behind. Some people can go months without updating their site; I can’t do that. I would go crazy.
Wow, you’ve been really busy! It sounds like you deserve a break; I hope you have fun whatever it is you’re doing during your time off.
While I do live my iTouch, I want to upgrade to one with more room (I only have 8GB) but I would hate to convert all the music over. Plus I’m a person that can’t live knowing there’s a missing album cover (everything has to be perfect more or less). Your laptop sounds pretty bad ass though. Mine only has 4GB of RAM but I hope to upgrade soon. I have insufficient funds though. Rawr.
Congrats on the fun new “toys” of yours. I love the new feeling of electronics. I’m not techy when it comes to them (some people can take them apart an put it back together..not I!) but I can appreciate the many usages of it. Enjoy your mini vacation! And good luck finishing up all that work >_< And that is why you are the pro!
Wow. I hope you finish everything that you are working on soon!
Dang. My laptop is only 222GB… 🙁 I’m probably going to buy a Linux laptop in the future though. (:
=====================
Yeah well. she is my aunt, right?
I hope you have a good weekend off! Sounds like you’ve been working a lot and could do with a little break.
I don’t play many games but I have 4GB of RAM which is good for my needs. I like to think my laptop is pretty good too – it probably isn’t compared to others, but it has enough for me which I think is all that matters.
I hope you enjoy your days off! It’s nice to be able to have a few days to yourself or with people you care about.
Wow 6GB of RAM is a lot. o___O I have 3GB RAM but that’s enough for me. I don’t really play games on mine. My laptop is okay, I thought it was really good when I first got it but it overheats SO much. 🙁
Eek! With all that work I’m sure you’re going to really enjoy your time off of work vacationing, relaxing, etc. I hope you enjoy yourself!
Your laptop really does sound like a beast. I hope you get to actually enjoy it soon and take in its wonderfulness. 🙂
I actually didn’t know that about Rebecca Black’s mom. This actually just gives me more reason to have no respect for her music. Exactly, though, about Bieber. At least he has musical talent, which is more than most pop artists his age or near can say.
I love getting new electronic toys. A new laptop would be so much fun.
