Mostly news post this week. You might want to check out my full Blog Herald reporting, as well as my Twitter account of course. I passed 3,000 tweets, sweet.

Also, I am no longer the acting editor on Devlounge, and hence won’t write there as often. There’s no controversy there, part of my time had already been refocused from Devlounge to the Blog Herald, so it is all good.

Still laying low here, but I did publish some posts over at the Blog Herald this week. More than these, as usual, but some are more linkworthy than others. Not that the others aren’t worth checking out of course…

More from me on Twitter.

I’m not in the habit of working neither weekends nor holidays, and I’ve got no plans to change my mind this year. So this post is written on December 22, just like the ones linked below. I will see you all in 2009!

I hope your 2008 rocked! If not, make it so, because it will end in a couple of days time…

I can’t believe how fast December went by! Crazy. It is certainly taking its toll, so I’m looking forward to taking a (short) break.

Probably missed something here, it has been a truly packed week.

Blam! Here it is!

See you next week!

I’m sure we’re all feeling the December crunch right now. Everything needs to be done by the Holidays, and then we all want to take some time off. So I’ll keep this short n’ sweet then. Here’s this week’s more interesting freelance work from yours truly.

Enjoy.

Can’t talk, drinking scolded wine! That’s glögg in Swedish, dear reader from elsewhere. A Christmas tradition here. I did write some stuff too, though.

Did you catch the Notes Blog site?

I’ve been busy this week. Real busy. Too bad most of it will be published on dead trees in Sweden. You’ll have to settle with this week’s posts online.

I hope you like the new theme. It’s not done yet, I’m afraid. Some tweaks to be made, features to be rolled out, and the occasional bug to squash. That’ll have to wait though, since I’m away on conferences and meetings this weekend.

I’ve spent most of this week doing a larger freelance gig for a newspaper, so there’s been time for little else. This gig was in Swedish, and aimed at the Swedish market, so you won’t be seeing anything of it, but at least I’ll get a slightly larger paycheck this month. You’ll have to settle with that!

I sincerely hope that the next time I post something here on tdhedengren.com, it will be an announcement of the new design. And after that, you can expect to read my thoughts on this lovely Kiki James journal.

I’ve had a good week, which is nice. On the freelancing front, I’ve got my first post up on Jon’s Spyre Mag. When it comes to design, as you know I’m running an addon theme for Notes Blog Core on tdh.se, which is working out nicely. Expect a public beta soonish.

For those of you who wondered, no, I don’t have an ETA on the third part in Stiel’s story. It might not get written this side of New Year’s even, as I’ve got a bunch of stuff to do.
