You might have noticed, or rather not noticed, that I’m awfully quiet right now. That doesn’t mean that I’m out of words or ideas for blog posts, it is more a matter of Work Overload after the holidays. The inbox is full, clients are screaming for updates, and so on. As you might know, I’m not the kind of freelancer that works over holidays or even weekends these days, so that is probably pissing some people off even more than they want to acknowledge.
And then there’s that whole recession thing. It is starting to hit me, actually, with no less than four cancelled projects in two months’ time. Not good, but I’ll manage of course. Read more →
The tdh.se At a glance box from the WordPress 2.7 Dashboard
My upcoming free WordPress theme, titled Notes Blog, is in private beta right now. That means that I’m running it, and that I’ve got a few friends running it locally and/or in public. In fact, I decided to roll it out on my Swedish blog, sporting a dedicated add-on theme thanks to the new template functionality in WordPress 2.7. You can see it in action, not finished by any means (localization isn’t done yet, among other things) over at tdh.se. Swedish readers might be interested in the launch post as well.
What you’re seeing on tdh.se is the TDHish add-on theme, which won’t be available for download in case you were wondering. It runs on Notes Blog Core, the them I’ll offer for free later this month, after WordPress 2.7 is officially out (check out the beta if you’re curious). That means that what you see on my Swedish blog right now, isn’t what you’ll get when you install Notes Blog Core.
That being said, I think it is cool that it finally is up and running in public. Stay tuned for more in these coming weeks.
I’m back from my vacation, rested but loaded with work to be done in the coming two weeks. Business is good, thank you very much, I’ve got design gigs lined up and the requests keeps coming in.
In other words, I’m not complaining – but coming back from more than a week off is a bitch, honestly.
Anyway, I’m pumped up for projects and stuff, which means I need to start rolling out my new tdhedengren.com blog. It will make use of the design I made for my Swedish blog, tdh.se, and will sport regular updates. I guess I have to get myself a portfolio as well, my hire me page isn’t very exciting.
So I’m back. If I haven’t answered your e-mail that you sent no more than two weeks ago then send it again.
Peace out, people!
“You should blog again!” said David Krug a few minutes ago. “It’s almost been a month!”
It has, hasn’t it? The thing is, I’ve been holding out for the launch of my new design (already up in beta on tdh.se). Unfortunately, I’ve been too swamped to actually put the hours into it that is needed.
Yeah, I suck.
Still, it’s on the radar. And when I’ve relaunched I’ll be blogging more frequently about things, doing series of posts and so on.
In the meantime, sorry David and folks. I’m in a hiatus here at the moment.
Do subscribe to the RSS feed to get the latest dirt when it relaunches.
I never really left, it just got sold, redesigned and then redesigned again. My first posts will appear tomorrow if all goes well.
In other news, I’m going to try and relaunch this blog next week. It might not be possible, work comes first, but I’ll try to get it out in 2.0 beta. It will look like this, sort of.
I’ve finally finished moving into the new apartment. Or rather, I’ve installed myself, I doubt the term “finish” will feel valid this side of the Summer. Still, it’s getting there, with planned furniture shopping and whatnot.
It’s a spacious three room apartment in old style, with (non-functional) fireplace and all. I like it, although it differs quite a lot from the cottage on the countryside type of living we had before.
What I don’t like is the fact that my broadband wasn’t installed on time. I’ve lost a full two weeks of planned work time, in addition to the five days planned. That’s not good, and it leaves me and some of my clients in a little fix. My apologies, not much I can do at this time though.
While I feel quite certain that this coming week will be full of catching up on both e-mail and reading, as well as forming new partnerships and delivering designs and code, I do plan on get back to regular blogging more or less right away. Hopefully I’ll be able to take a few hours to launch TDH 2.0 here as well, the Swedish beta is working out nicely so it shouldn’t be so hard. And with that comes content, as you already know.
Mixing it with the snooker World Championships of course.
I’m living in a box, almost literally. This weekend will be spent carrying furniture, boxes and all that junk you can cram into a house. I’m going to try and cram it into the new apartment, that will certainly be a challenge.
This means that I’ll be offline from Friday ’til Monday afternoon at the very least. Most likely something will mess with me and my broadband connection will suffer, but we’ll see. If everything works out as it should I’ll be up and running again sometime Monday.
Until then I’m trying to get my business in order. I screwed up a code delivery which annoys the hell out of me, so I’ll spend the evening fixing that. Inbetween packing boxes of course.
In other words, I’m semi-off this week. When things are back to normal I’m hoping to launch the TDH 2.0 beta here at tdhedengren.com as well – although the tdh.se one is missing some things it seems to run smoothly enough.
There you have it, typed on my MacBook sitting on a box.
