The agenda planner Incogito for JavaZone 09 is finally live. I had a two week internship with Macsimum this summer, working as an interaction designer on the project. The planner is written by members of JavaBin.

A wee bit better after all the crap has been moved over to the other part of the room…

Getting settled in a new workspace can be more taxing than you initially imagine…

This site has been dead for a while, I just didn’t get into the habit of working on it. This time I hope to get going properly. I will try to merge it with another blog I’ve been running for schoolwork, hopefully quite soon. I have planned a rebuild of the site, to better incorporate works in progress, as well as finished projects, both school work and private projects. Good luck to me.

After a couple of hours of sleep I am back online. Now for the last sprint. Some projects under Works, couple of blog posts, and then on to finishing the presentation. I must confess that writing this post is mainly a way of starting todays work on an easy note.
My dreams last night were filled with code, style-sheets, galleries and blogpresentations, not the most comforting of dreams either. Only comfort was waking up and realizing that everything was working. Whew!

This is an excellent song by The Smashing Pumpkins, but it also happens to be quite consistent with the way I feel right now. After being in a constant wordpress/java/html haze the last couple of days my site has finally started to look and work in a way fairly close to my original idea. I would like to declare war on the different standards, as well as bad coding (trying to do anything with the original WP theme without everything else falling apart has been one of my major problems, sound familiar?), but that’s life. I guess my only course of action if I want total control is to learn coding from the bottom up instead of the tweeking approach I have now, but I don’t think that’s going to happen just yet. I’ll just have to live with it for now.
Anyways, from fire to ashes and then fire again, I’m back, and everything works (for now at least). Can’t complain, can I. The architecture of the page is up and running, and the plan is laid out for how to fill it with content. So now everything should be just fine. My deadline is in 20-ish hours, so no real rush anymore, whew.

Here I come! (or something like that)
