DesireCampbell dot com 2012

So, I’ve been working on creating a new personal site for a while now. The main purpose of which was to separate the blog from the other, more static parts of the site.

So, what I ended up doing was move the blog to richards-campbell.com as we had planned to keep a family blog there anyway, and there’s no reason to have two blogs. So desirecampbell.com is just static pages now. Much easier to change content and much easier to backup.

This is the first time I’ve done a whole site in HTML5 with semantic markup (header, section, article, etc). I really like the article and section elements. They allow the code to show content divisions without comment-code.

So the next step is to replace this WordPress theme with one that matches desirecampbell.com. Currently I’m working on adding in the navigation elements (I’m not sold on the side-bar) and a check to switch the colour-scheme for each author (I want my posts to be orange, but the rest of the site to be the current William Morris wallpaper).

Dear diary

Hey. Me again.

So, contract on my last job ended two weeks ago; still haven’t found a new gig. Still hopeful, but it’s getting a bit stressful.

Mostly I’m bummed I’m not playing Skyrim right now. Which is stupid because I’ve got lots of other things to do, like finish painting three canvases before Christmas.

For now this keeps me pumped.

So, what else has been going on? Hillary’s computer died just after my new one got put together, so we just ordered basically the same parts again for her. I’ve got to RMA the PSU before we can get it running though. She’s not happy with being stuck on her netbook for everything, and stealing mine to do dailies.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaand that’s enough for now, I guess. Maybe more within a month? Let’s not get out hopes up.

Hey. back again. I meant to post more but, well, read the previous post.

So. What’s DRC been up to lately? Well, I just started ilovemyspouse.tumblr.com because I love my wife, and want a place where other people can express that too. If you don’t hate the person you’re with, op on over and submit something. It’d make my, and I’m sure someone else’s day :)

Right now I’m listening to the last year’s worth of music from Dan Wilkes – I love this song:

Raps For Your Brain by SWAGBERG

Other than that, I’ve been toying with the family site, which isn’t nearly ready yet. I keep thinking of different things to do with it, can’t make any decisions. I did manage to set up the emails for the domain though, so I’m not a total loser.

I also played a bunch of Portal 2 Co-op with my buddy Ben.

And other than that, not much. Working as a pharmaceutical industry technical agent, but not for much longer. Wishing I had a more obvious and extreme talent. Or a rich uncle.

Anyway. Until next time.
