A slow upgrade


Posted by Skye

I’ve started to put together the framework for a more “inclusive” website. Look forward to a wider variety of posts as time progresses!

My shoulder is killing me from all the mouse work (when I use programs such as Photoshop I tend to switch back to the right handed mouse rather than using my left handed Evoluent mouse) so it might be a week or so before I put any new images up on to this website, but I’m sure I can think of a few other things that I have been aching to blog about.

Please note this design has NOT been tested across multiple browsers!!

It looks best in Google Chrome and works passably in Internet Explorer 8. Internet Explorer 7 is a total bomb. Firefox has ceased to work on my laptop for some reason, so I’m unable to test it there – let me know how you go! And I no longer have a copy of Safari or Opera, so if you use either of those browsers your feedback is greatly appreciated.

I’m going to fix bugs slowly. This whole cross-browser thing is no longer an enjoyable challenge, so we’ll see how I go…


A change of seasons


Posted by Skye

Well, here is a new season. So to speak :) It’s not so much a change of literal seasons, but a change of perspective and point of view. So the main theme remains the same, but it’s brighter. There are overtones of the darkness of “winter”, but green is starting to shine through and wildlife is becoming abundant again.

Talk about a metaphor for my life right now! The move to KL was fantastically smooth, but the lead up was an absolute nightmare. A lot of personal issues got in the way, and I’m glad to be able to refocus and be able to get down to “business” again.

I’m off to Singapore this week and will hopefully be starting my new job very soon. I can’t wait for both :)

Take care, and let me know if you experience any issues with the new theme.


Hailing version 2

eeejay.net Version 1

Goodbye version 1. I’ve finally been able to spend some time cozying up to Illustrator, Photoshop, and WordPress, in order to come up with a new design. I’m thinking that over time I will add things to this particular design, so that by the time I’m ready to think about version 3 it will be vastly different.

The quotation down the bottom of the page is from the song “Shadowland“. Otherwise all drawn, designed, and coded by me.

So hello version 2. Please let me know if you experience any issues!


Goodbye Unworked

unworked-skye.net // Showcase

unworked-skye.net was my faithful website for 2 years. I hosted “seven” on it and it was also home to my informal portfolio called “Showcase”.

So today I have taken a snapshot of the website and its databases, and I am currently in the process of deleting everything. I have fond memories of Unworked. The website was hacked about a billion times  due to some serious laxness on my part, and in fact… because of the amount of time I’ve neglected the website (since September last year) I have only just noticed that I seem to have been hosting a serial/cracks/warez site for some time!! I almost feel bad that I’m deleting it. Hehe.

I may have grossly neglected the website for months and I admit I hated the domain name the minute I registered it, but I look back on the history of the website and I can see how much I have changed and grown. It makes me feel happy =)
