June 14: One of my regulars calls and asks me just to “put up an under construction notice” and re-do their site.

June 17: One of my other regulars emails to let me know they’re flying someone in to ‘revisit’ their site.

June 18: I ask for an extra week of vacation from my full time day job and consider raising my hourly rate.

Blog posts I hope to make in the next two weeks:

• Taking credit where credit is due – in response to a discussion about women in IT at zeldman.com.
• My thoughts on the hiring process and the job market and why I do what I do where I do for the pay I get.
• Some of the steps we’re taking to convert our templates from tables within tables within tables to just… one table, well it’s an improvement.
• Highlights of our presentation at CADE and my thoughts on the rest of the conference.

Until then, if you think of yourself as a web designer – go take A List Apart’s Web Designer survey.

• making my Mum a website
• moving hosting servers for digitalphoenix.ca
• learning cgi so I can create an auto generated thank you message for HOPE’s donors
• taking Mandarin (what was I thinking?)
